Amy ~Lover of Books~ | 957 comments Finished The Rising (Darkness Rising, #3) by Kelley Armstrong today and gave it 5 stars! I really liked the ending of this trilogy and it was nostalgic seeing some familiar faces from the Darkest Powers trilogy in the Darkness Rising one!

I finished The Gathering (Darkness Rising, #1) by Kelley Armstrong and it was really good! I haven't read any of her other books, so I will definitely be picking up more of her books in the future!

Still trying to decide what I am going to read.

Thanks Kim and Fran for the heads up. I changed the book.


Amy ~Lover of Books~ | 957 comments Wow, hard choice to choose. I'm going to read Ink (Paper Gods, #1) by Amanda Sun

Joie (serenityjoie) | 77 comments I'm going for Jaci Burton's One Sweet Ride.


message 812: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I'm going to read Third Grave Dead Ahead (Charley Davidson, #3) by Darynda Jones .


message 813: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 4260 comments I loved Wicked Cravings (The Phoenix Pack, #2) by Suzanne Wright and Third Grave Dead Ahead (Charley Davidson, #3) by Darynda Jones so I hope those picking those books do too!

I'll be reading Spartan Frost (Mythos Academy, #4.5) by Jennifer Estep


message 814: by Irina (new)

Irina (reetu_416) | 504 comments I'm in and I'll be reading Wicked Cravings (The Phoenix Pack, #2) by Suzanne Wright


message 815: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) Finished Thrown by a Curve (Play by Play, #5) by Jaci Burton for One Sweet Ride (Play by Play, #6) by Jaci Burton .

Finally a solid installment in a series that has been mostly uninspired. Alicia and Garrett's romance is sweet without any unnecessary angst. I can only hope that this positive trend will continue in the next book.


Amy ~Lover of Books~ | 957 comments I did finish Ink (Paper Gods, #1) by Amanda Sun on July 12th and gave it 4 stars. Loved it!


message 817: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 2657 comments I read First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson, #1) by Darynda Jones in place of Third Grave Dead Ahead (Charley Davidson #3) by Darynda Jones

Finished 7/26. I listened to the audiobook and I kept hearing Mercy Thompson (same narrator). I also didn't get the fascination with Reyes, who wasn't real until the end. I will read book 2 before I decide if I will continue with this series, but I don't see the fuss.

One more issue, if Charley is the Grim reaper, shouldn't she be going to people who are alive and taking their soul...as opposed to ghosts coming to her for help?

Sorry you weren't that awed by Charley - she can be an acquired taste. Hope the next one is better for you.

I also love Lorelei King's narration - she does the voices so well and she makes Charley's humor really comes to life.


message 821: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I also finished Third Grave Dead Ahead (Charley Davidson, #3) by Darynda Jones last July 18th. As always Charley is crazily snarky and Reyes is smoldering sexy. I give it 4 stars.


message 822: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 2657 comments I do love Lorelei King as well, but I just kept hearing Mercy because Mercy makes similar sarcastic comments.
I will give Charley another try. I thought I would try read the ebook instead of listening to book 2, to see if it would make a difference

My friend is reading the series and says it's great in print!

Sandra | 4260 comments Just realized Spartan Frost (Mythos Academy, #4.5) by Jennifer Estep was on the list. Read it 14 July gave it 4 stars and I'm now hanging out for Midnight Frost which is in the mail.

Elizabeth (elizabeth_greece) | 1918 comments I finished Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk A Modest Bestiary by David Sedaris today. I listened to the audiobook and it was really funny, 4*.


message 837: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) Read Blood Rites (The Dresden Files, #6) by Jim Butcher for Ghost Story (The Dresden Files, #13) by Jim Butcher

This series is really coming into its own. I enjoy the world building, the action scenes and the secondary characters. Harry is also growing on me like a fungus.


message 838: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (vampiregoth28) | 265 comments Finished The Darkest Craving (Lords of The Underworld, #10) by Gena Showalter 3.5 stars. I didn't hate it, but it's got to be my least favorite Lords book to date. I liked Kane and Josephina, but this book seemed almost out of place in the Lords series (the fae seemed like a sudden addition to the world).


message 839: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments I finished Playing Games (Games, #2) by Jessica Clare for Wicked Games (Games, #1) by Jill Myles . Another fun, sexy book in this reality show based series. I will be reading the next one :) 4*

Elizabeth (elizabeth_greece) | 1918 comments I finished Dead Ever After (Sookie Stackhouse, #13) by Charlaine Harris for From Dead to Worse (Sookie Stackhouse, #8) by Charlaine Harris today and I gave it 3*, not the best ending to this series.

Suzanne (esmerelda1) | 2244 comments Random Book List #146

I read A Night to Surrender by Tessa Dare and it was awesome! I think this is one of my favorite regency romance novels EVER! It was historical without overwhelming you with details. I loved the dialogue between the main characters, they were witty and clever! 5 stars!

A Night to Surrender (Spindle Cove, #1) by Tessa Dare


message 842: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 2657 comments Finished The Darkest Lie (Lords of the Underworld, #6) by Gena Showalter (★★★) for The Darkest Craving (Lords of The Underworld, #10) by Gena Showalter .

Trying to translate Gideon's lies was actually amusing. For instace, when he tells Scarlet that she is so ugly (when he means beautiful).
Reading for the opposite was interesting


message 843: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) Also read Any Duchess Will Do (Spindle Cove, #4) by Tessa Dare and loved it. May possibly be the best in the series.

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) I finished reading Attachments by Rainbow Rowell at 24th Sept. 4 stars
Male lead was a bit stalkerish/creepy to me but book was a quick read and I loved Rainbow Rowell's writing style. If you are looking for unusual chick-lit novel, check it out. :)
