Just finished . Has anyone else read this? It is the most...bizarre UF I've ever come across.

[Jackie M]

I just started .

[Regina]

Were you weeping with laughter in parts? I was, and I don't know if that's what the author intended. Some of it read like a giant satire on the genre, but then it would go all seriousface again. Most puzzling. I love Shelby: "Packard should go on a date. But then again where would he take her, Mongolian Delites?" Hehehehe.

I didn't realise there were more than just that one. Duh, I should've checked. Thanks for mentioning it, Daffodil.

[Desperado]

Currently Reading: Yay! Kate & Curran! Mutant Syphillis!?!

Will Start Soon: or for Bookshelf Bingo. I haven't decided yet. Which ever one grabs my attention, I guess.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yes, the Mutant Syphillis, beware ...... I'm nearly finished it, been taking my time and savouring it, yummmm Curran!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! When he pranks her (view spoiler)[and she finds her butt glued to her office chair! (hide spoiler)] OMG! I was LMAO!! That's another series I love listening to on audiobook, such fun!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

But what got me was that the acetone burned, nasty! And he knew it would too!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yep, guess he was super pissed (view spoiler)[over the weight room (hide spoiler)]. They always say payback is a bitch. LOL!

[Vivian]

Mutant Syphillis, that's...unique. That one's next up for me in the series. I guess I have something to look forward to.

Reading and . Don't know if Merry is working for me, but I am liking Green-Eyed Demon.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Good Vivian, glad you're liking GED, I've got those 3 to start soonish.

[[deleted user]]

Just finished . It was okay, but Mary Balogh has spoilt me for Regency romances. It wasn't bad, but I'm not tempted to read the rest of the series.

[Daffodil]

Finished last night and really enjoyed it.

Started . It's one of her non-paranormals. I've heard a lot of good things about it and so far I'm captivated.

Not sure what's up next, depends on my mood.

I was planning on going book shopping this weekend. No bookstores in my hometown, have to drive over to Champaign in order to find any. But I broke my glasses earlier this week and guess where that wonderful book budget is being redirected now? :( My appointment is this p.m. and I may still go to the bookstore depending on what's left in my purse. LOL.

[Vivian]

Yay Daffodil! Glad you liked , it's one of my fav series :)

is...interesting? It's a little oversexed, but I am intrigued by the storyline that occurs between all that x-rated stuff.

[Regina]

I am still not 100% better and it is effecting my reading time. :( Isn't Meredith Gentry erotica? I tried to listen to it on audio and couldn't get through the beginning. I love Anita Blake (am up through #7), but Merry seemed way too perfect, it was annoying. But I didn't give the book a fair shake. Maybe if I read it I would feel differently. I want to start the Kara Gillian series, but there are so many darned series I do want to start. Daffodil I am sorry about your glasses. :(


Still reading , it is so good and I want to be finished with #2 by the time the series starts on sunday. I am also reading

I am listening to , I love Tana French so much. Her characters and relationships are so indepth and complex and very dark.

[Literary Ames]

Over the weekend I read and re-started which isn't going well.

I'm 28% into and I'm hoping to finish it before the show starts. I love Dany and the direwolves.

[Regina]

You don't like the Iron Hunt? I loved Dany in the first one also, now she just drives me crazy. The direwolves are so cool, I can't wait to see how they are portrayed in the show. I just read a very very very disturbing part in book #2 -- for those of you who have read it, Jon and the Watch have come upon (and are about to leave) Craster and his settlement. yuck!!!!!!!!! What the heck is going on in Martin's mind regarding familial relationships?!!!!

[CyberAlmu]

Reading and i'm loving it although at the beginning I didn't like it much. It was hard to switch to the 3rd person narration.

If the story keeps up like this, the minute I finish I'll go order the rest of the books in the series.


PS. Lucas is burning hot!

[Daffodil]

Great series. I'm counting down the days til May 31 when Hawke's story comes out: .

[[deleted user]]

I'm almost done with . I have mixed feelings about it, but will probably get the next one just to give it another chance.

[Desperado]

Currently Reading: &

Both of them blow chunks. I expect it from Hoyt, since I've only enjoyed one book by her & I now see that that was a fluke. But a boring Cat & Bones book?!? Blasphemy! There was this one scene where Cat was describing Bones with a boner but instead of being turned on, I thought "Back off, ya redhead biatch!" *tear*

[Rosina]

ROFLMAO....."Both of them blow chunks"....too funny....loved that!!!...

[Regina]

I have had Cat & Bones #5 on my Kindle since the day of release and have not had the desire to read it.

Yeah #5 was just one book too many. She had to try and resuscitate the whole torn-apart-by-love thing, which she's already done, what, twice? in the series.

[Literary Ames]

Regina wrote: "What the heck is going on in Martin's mind regarding familial relationships?!!!!"

I know! What's with all the incest, paedophilia and public sex? This guy's obsessed! I know they were more barbaric back in the day with the executions, sanctioned murder and castrations but duuuuuude! I do not believe the Targaryen's bloodline could've survived the generations of brother-sister marriages with no disabilities. I consider Viserys to be an exception. Chuck him over the wall or have him mauled by direwolves. Dany is more generous than I.

The Iron Hunt sucks! I will congratulate anyone who managed to finish it. Those who gave this book 5 stars is not my friend. I've just offended 181 people but I don't care. I hate every character so far except maybe this homeless teenager who's probably just a flash in the pan. It's frustratingly slow and sparse on the background details. Good bits are few and far between. It's a challenge read so I have to finish. Stupid challenges.

@CyberAlmu -Psy-Changeling is a brilliant series. I'm collecting the UK paperbacks even though I've read them because these are keepers.

EXACTLY! The shit has been done time & again. C & B are like Derek & Meredith from Grey's Anatomy. This book feels like filler.

I think it was written mostly to platform the spin-off series. Whatsisface in the new series gets a lot of page time.

Whew, I checked, I only gave it 3 stars. but then I'm used to Liu's style of writing having read about 9 of the Dirk & Steele series.

So glad you're still my friend Ames :)

And strangely I haven't read No reason, just haven't got to it yet.

[Literary Ames]

LMAO! Don't worry, none of my friends gave it 5 stars and I'd be reluctant to divorce you, Sandra, your taste in books is excellent! It's my first Liu book and perhaps my last even though I own the sequel. So glad I got them cheap in a closing down sale.

I haven't read either. I'm not feeling the gravitational pull.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! Ya'll are a RIOT!! :D

I'm reading and finished listening to , which I loved. So happy #2 comes out in the fall.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Whilst still plodding through I've decided to also read to have a break. That's the thing about a loved series/author you can just dive in and enjoy it from page 1.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I haven't read any of her books. Krentz/Castle/Quick. Sounds like maybe I should. Glad you found somethin' to take the Downside edge off. :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

:D

I loved . I even bought the audio book so I could "reread" it in the car! But then I really enjoy JAK's books.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Just finished it Sandra J, 5 stars, loved it.

[Regina]

@ Ames -- I agree completely. There is even grosser stuff in book #2, but my husband promises me that is the grossest it gets. I seriously think Martin had an issue with his sister. Or perhaps he uses incest to paint characters as truly dark and not appealing at all. Viserys is so distasteful. And then there are the men who like children (I consider 14/15 a child!).

I am now reading and still reading Clash of Kings. I am also now listening to

I just finished Faithful Place by Tana French. I am in love with her writing, her characters and the relationships she crafts. They are so real, dark and disturbing but real. If you like psychological thrillers, I highly recommend her books.

[Literary Ames]

@Regina -It gets worse?! I'm curious now. Torture is the only thing I can think of that's worse. They say brother-sister incest is more common than we realise but I think it was common practice historically speaking, amongst royalty, those with status and money to keep all the power within the family.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I just finished and had I known where it left off I would've waited until the next one was closer to coming out.

Not sure what to read next .... too many great choices!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Thanks for the heads-up on that, Steph. I've been reading that series slowly...will stick with that plan!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Probably best. It's a cliffhanger, but not a deadly drop. Just enough to make me whine a bit at the end b/c the next book wasn't in hand. But, I am going to pop over to the series there b/c I would LOVE to chat about a coupl'a things with someone else who's read it.

[[deleted user]]

Have started . Can't quite figure it out yet. Have suspicion it's absolutely terrible, but am open to being proved wrong. Fingers crossed.

@Steph: the Tessa Adams cover guy has back dimples...mmm...how can you pass up on that as intro fodder? Yum.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Am 3/4 finished and for an anthology it doesn't suck! Still probably only 3 stars, we'll see.

[Regina]

Steph - I say Lover Unleashed.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Regina, she's started Hidden Embers, it came up on my update feed.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:) Yep! Wanted some hottie dragons. Also, listening to "Darkest Secret", but after that, I'll probably listen to "Lover Unleashed". We'll see.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

That reminds me, I need to find some good dragon books...recommendations?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Well, I'm diggin' that series "Dragon's Heat" by Tessa Adams. I haven't read a lot, I'm sure others have a larger dragon library (Sandra, most likely and others). I've read a couple of "Aisling Gray", but she can annoy me, so I have to space them out.

Some others I've recently read & liked:
~ Pendragon Gargoyles by Syndey Somers
~ Immortally Sexy by Stephanie Rowe (dragon gets her own book #2, but series includes demons and other immortals)
~ Cruentas Dragons by Brynn Paulin

Some I have, but haven't read:
~ Dragonfire by Deborah Cooke
~ Dragon Kin by GA Aiken
~ Dragon by Allyson James

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Judithe I've got all those above plus more, have a look at my dragon shelf

[[deleted user]]

Just finished . It was okay but guys, I dunno, it's all starting to blur into one. I need a break from the vamps and the weres but I keep getting caught in their tractor beams and pulled back under.

What's good break book? Anyone have a palate cleanser they can recommend? I tried my favourite Dawkins book a couple of nights ago but it failed me.
