Re: The Serpent's Tale ... loved it. Well written mystery, lots of intrigue and as twisty a plot as the serpent it's titled after ...
Now on to Lost in a Good Book - Jasper Fforde (second Thursday Next book).

Also one of my favorites! Laughed hard throughout the book!
I'm reading Last Sacrifice finally!!
I'm reading Blood Bar by Norm Applegate - read Into the Spell last night and early into the morning.
I am reading The Big Bad Wolf (Alex Cross, #9) by James Patterson.Fast paced. Action packed. My type of book.
I read some of his books a couple of months ago but I haven't read any of that series, it was about a cop with 100 children - well about 10! How does the series compare? I have seen a film based on one.
I am reading Virgin River by Robyn Carr. I have been wanting to start this series for a long long time. I dont know why I waited--it's great so far!!!
I'm reading
as my primary and
as my secondary on Kindle for the gym or when out and about. I'm still getting the hang of how I'll use my Kindle, but liking it a lot more.
I have finished Outlander Wicked Lovely The Girl Who Played with Fire Fire Me Up I am currently reading The Virgin's Lover and Lover Revealed
Well I finished The Hemingses of Monticello and The Red Pyramid so now I'm reading Riddle of the Wayward Books and Summer Knight. Once I finish the Wishbone book (first one) I'll probably start on an ebook.
Finished with Revolution a couple of days ago, which was VERY GOOD!!! Going to start reading Incarceron tomorrow
Just finished reading Graceling. Loved it, loved it, loved it!Now, I'm reading River's End by Nora Roberts.
I'm reading Wise Guy by Nicholas Pileggi. It's the book the movie Goodfellas is based off of.
Tried reading Incarceron last night... just couldn't get into it. So have started reading Finnikin of the Rock and enjoying it so far
Finished Iron Witch so now I'm reading One Day by David Nicholls.
I am listening to BoneMan's Daughters by Ted Dekker. I like murder mystery so I am enjoying this novel.
I am reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Bought it years ago and have been meaning to for so long that it comes as a relief to finally get to it!
Now reading Dead in the Family, Charlaine Harris.
I'm still reading off and on A Breath of Snow and Ashes and am also currently reading my 4th Jeffery Deaver book The Vanished Man. I'm totally engrossed in these Jeffery Deaver books (the Lincoln Rhyme series).
I finished Summer Knight early yesterdat morning and decided to start something quick and easy while I decided on my next book. So I chose The Cat Who Saw Red by Lilian Jackson Braun.
Now reading Delirium
. Finished till chapter 12....so far it was truly amazing
I have finished Lover Revealed Undead and Unreturnable Beyond the Highland Mist Tales from the Terrific Register: The Book of Ghosts One Foot in the Grave and I am reading Kushiel's Dart and Red-Headed Stepchild
Just finished Crow Lake by Mary Lawson and have started reading The Fire Stone by Riley Carney. So far, I'm very impressed by this young woman's storytelling ability.
Just finished Watership Down, which was much better than I thought it would be.Starting The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary. I've had this on my to-read list since I talk a history of the English language class in college, I'm so excited to finally have it!
I'm reading
by Diane Setterfield. Engrossing. Slightly creepy. Really good.
Myra Beth, I loved The Thirteenth Tale! Great book! Enjoy! :)
Sill on Vanity Fair. It's so darn long ... I read and I read and I read and my percentage complete hardly moves!! Also reading The Silver Pigs by Lindsey Davis and Doctor Who: The Celestial Toymaker by Gerry Davis, whose last name is a coincidence.

Stormhawk, that's how I felt about Les Miserables and Moby Dick. They took me soooo long to read! But I felt a real feeling of accomplishment when I finally finished! Hang in there! :)
Oh man. I cannot put it down. Just when you think its over or about to mellow out, something else happens.
Nope, it's a roller coaster ride the entire time! :)
My cousin finallt bought the book. I have not heard a peep from her. I know she is into it. LOL
i'm reading Lover Avenged
of the black dagger brotherhood series! its very intriguing, with a fast plot and the stories of many characters and i simply love it!

And it really speaks to the booklover in all of us. The way the book talks about books and the main characters love of reading. I remember really connecting w/ the authors love of books...it seemed very apparent.
Kathy wrote: "And it really speaks to the booklover in all of us. The way the book talks about books and the main characters love of reading.

I'm currently reading
for a book club read. This is the first werewolf book that I've read and I'm wondering how typical it is of the genre. At the moment I'm completely underwhelmed and yet I've read some great things about this author. What is your experience?

I am reading The Laughing Corpse by Laurell K. Hamilton. Slower going than the first in the series :-(

Thanks Elvia, no I havent read the mini story - I guess that's the missing piece that would help. What is the story called and where would I find it.
Thanks.

It's in the anthology On the Prowl. Read the story in there and it might help you out! Also, her other series has tie ins to this series.
