LOL Regina! Actually, from what I remember, most of the story in the last couple of books revolved around the plans everyone had to make to keep the arduer under control - while still finding time to do battle against whatever baddy was in the story. I didn't mind it - I was reading Erotica pretty much exclusively at that point!

Those are both good ones, Steph. I loved Charlie. Can't wait for Second Grave on the Left and Aftermath.
Finished
and
over the weekend. I liked both, but definitely would give the edge to Grimspace. Now reading
Kerstin I absolutely loved Ghost Story!Steph so glad you liked Grimspace!
So I finishd Feed by Mira Grant and was kinda dissapointed. I like long detailed books, but I thought it was too long and too much detail that was not necessary. I think the strongest point of the book is the characters, including the side characters. I do think the ending was innovative, brave but I still did not like nor think it was necessary! But still, brave and creative.
I am listening to
and trying to decide what to read next. I am on vaca and nothing seems good. Here is what I am thinking:
Regina, I've read the last two, really enjoyed them both but would say give Ultraviolet a try. Super awesome book :)
I have started loads of books in the past few days and nothing is catching my interest, I am going to try this tonight:
I'm about 50% through
and realizing that although I have nothing against Mircea, I'm a Pritkin fangirl at heart. :)
I am listening to the audio of
and wow! It took some time to get into, maybe about 20%, but it is just an amazingly beautiful story. I absolutely LOVE It. I don't want it to end.
Working on
for my bingo challenge and enjoying it so far. I was asking the girls on my team if this is considered a zombie book, or if this is just a "zombie light" book and doesn't count, since I have not read one yet?
I never really considered it a zombie book, b/c the zombies aren't really the main world changer or threat in the book. But that is just my perspective.
Thanks Regina, I haven't been brave enough to read one yet. I guess I will still have to try one since this one doesn't count.
I did buy that one and have it on TBR pile. Do I need to read it during the day with all the lights on?
LOL. It does get tense and there are some gross scenes -- but the main focus is on the personal journey (and the physical journey) of the main character. There is a heart wrenching tale being told and I was worried and anguished while it was unfolding. There is some romance and sex as well. :)
Iron Duke is a great book though, I would classify it more as steampunk and romance. I thought it was a great story.
Finished
and finally managed to get into
- 75% through now and actually enjoying it. I'm so glad as I very nearly gave up on it....Next up is
and
Love the Dorina books, Bookgirlie, hope you do too.I'm also reading
about half-way through and enjoying it. I'd have to say it's Zombie light so far, more just the threat, as long as you don't go to France and the Continent. LOL
Finished
&
last night. (All were in various stages of completion and I figured it was time to finish them out)Spell Bound was wonderful, Dead Reckoning less so and Before I Fall was a surprise hit. I didn't like the character in the beginning, but couldn't resist the book itself. And of course, seeing a change in Samantha was part of the point. What's amazing is that the author managed to make me view Samantha's earlier behavior in a kinder light. Still didn't approve, but could at least understand some of it.

Currently reading:
. I looked this up because I've been watching the TV show. Not sure yet what I think. They changed quite a bit to make the show and that's what I watched first. I kind of like the relationship Chloe has with TV mom and that's completely different in the book.
Never heard of that last one Daffodil. We obviously don't get the TV show here. Interested to hear what you think about it.
Started
, but had some trouble getting into it, so I've put that down for the moment and have moved on to
.
I finished
and really liked it. Almost done with
and I like almost as much as the first, its a completely different storyline. Can't wait for Rune's story
, I think it comes out in October.
I can't wait for Rune's story either, Lis. And ah, Hell! Lauren's post reminded me I have to read and write up reviews for 3 NetGalley books before 26 Aug. LOL!
Dawn, Dead or Alive is on my TBR pile..I am a huge Tom Clancy fan..specifically the Jack Ryan series..let me know how you like the book and I will move it up in the pile if you say it is good.
I'm reading
(UF in ebook, Sci-Fi in audio, Romantic Suspense in paperback).I used to read only one book at a time but now that I'm back listening to audiobooks and have an iPad where I can read ebooks, it seems I'm always reading one of each!
Finished
and a little disappointed. Expected a little more since I liked her Stormwalker series. Oh well, I have the next book in the series on my TBR pile too.Going back to try
again.
