WTF Are You Reading? | 64 comments I am reading Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot (Cecelia and Kate, #1) by Patricia C. Wrede This is a very well-written story and if you are one for Soulless and the like...you will like this as well. I am so glad that I have the other two books in this series on reserve at the library. I don't have to wait to find out what happens.

I second the Spellman files recommendation!

I really freaking need to get that book from the library. Everyone's reading it. I just never think of it when I'm there

It was really good, I wish there were more!


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) I heard there would be a second book, maybe a companion? Of course I have no way to prove this, but someone had mentioned it in another group of mine at one point.

Wendy Darling (wendydarling) | 193 comments I really, really want a sequel to Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride , too. It's certainly set up for one. And I want to hear more about zombie pandas.


message 9612: by Wendy Darling (new)

Wendy Darling (wendydarling) | 193 comments Oh, I finished Saltwater Moons by Julie Gittus last night, part of the Aussie YA challenge. I think I'm going to read Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott or Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate, #1) by Gail Carriger next.


message 9613: by Heidi (new)

Heidi I liked Soulless.


message 9614: by Kristina (new)

Kristina (kristinalawhead) I started The Wilder Life My Adventures in the Lost World of Little House on the Prairie by Wendy McClure earlier today, I really like it so far!

Me too! Took me a little bit to get used to the language but Alexia just cracked me up.

The audio is FABULOUS!

Wendy Darling (wendydarling) | 193 comments Oh, I'm glad to hear you guys liked SOULLESS! Have you read the sequels? And arrgh, I read the first couple of pages and really liked them and was all set to buy the 3-book ebundle, but it won't be available until July 4. :( So I guess I'll putting this off for a couple of weeks. (I know, my problems are silly.)

Kristina, I'm ashamed to say I still haven't read my Wilder Life ARC yet. I hope you enjoy it!


message 9618: by Kristina (new)

Kristina (kristinalawhead) Wendy - I just started it today but I do really like it! I can definitely relate to the author and she's really funny so it's a fun read :)


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments I've read all of them. The 3rd left me craving pesto. And I still haven't had any yet!


message 9620: by Wendy Darling (new)

Wendy Darling (wendydarling) | 193 comments Kristina, have you seen the author's tweets in character as Laura Ingalls Wilder? She is hilarious. www.twitter.com/halfpintingalls She says things like "During the winter, we like to make sno-cones and FLAVOR IT WITH OUR TEARS." (It's so funny, she commented on a Little House stocking craft swap I did on my blog and we got to chatting, and it was because of her humor that I guessed who she was before she unveiled it publicly.)

Oh, good! I could use another good series. Particularly a funny one.

I listened to the first two on audio and have book 3 in my wishlist on Netlibrary (audio). I liked book one the best, but two was still entertaining.

Becca | 1608 comments Soulless was one of the funniest books I have read this year. I loved it! Even the names of the chapters had me cracking up because I could just imagine what Alexia was going to be doing next.


message 9623: by Edwin (new)

Edwin (edwinrodarte) | 41 comments I am currently reading Blood on the Moon Blood on the Moon by Jennifer Knight , and so far it is sounding too much like Twilight with the whole vampire/werewolf feud. I'm already in the middle of it and no real action so far - I guess I'll continue and see what happens.

rosyaffair (_lifeismusic_) | 14 comments I am currently reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and The Vampire's Promise :)

amy (asmith519yahoocom) | 80 comments Just finished Darkfever (Fever, #1) by Karen Marie Moning despite the smutty cover, which has nothing to do with the book. Anyway, it was good and want to read the rest of the series. Now I'm reading Carpe Demon (Kate Connor - Demon Hunter, #1) by Julie Kenner . It's funny!

Lloyd | 415 comments Due to my reading slump, I am going to take a tiny break from YA and catch up with one of my all-time favorite fictional characters...Repairman Jack!

Fatal Error (Repairman Jack, #14) by F. Paul Wilson


message 9629: by Wendy Darling (new)

Wendy Darling (wendydarling) | 193 comments I'm so excited to read Soulless after hearing everyone's comments--thank you! :) Now for the 2.5 week wait...

I read Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott which was excellent and I loved Babe in Boyland by Jody Gehrman , too! Fluffy and fun. Cassi, you might like this one.

I'm doing a buddy read of Brooklyn, Burning  by Steve Brezenoff tonight, which I'm looking forward to.

I stalked Lish McBrides website and there was a mention that the sequel to the series is shooting for Jan/Feb 2012.

There is also the Novella, Necromancer: A Novella.

I really really liked this book.

Now that you mention it, Beat the Reaper (the book we recommended) is NOT YA. It's not romance either. I can't remember if we clarified that. (This is to anyone who may have been thinking about it.)

I know. But it also cost money, and I already had this one. The book sounds interesting and maybe one of these days. :)

No problem, I just can't remember if you were warned. Didn't want you start it thinking it was YA and it wasn't! Some people don't like that, as they prefer to stay in YA.

@Catie - Hop to it!

Sara (rose081900) | 177 comments Wow, I haven't been on this group in a couple of months. I have lots of catching up to do!!! I have only read two books so far this month alone (I know sad isn't it?), and they were A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy, #1) by Deborah Harkness , which I loved so much!! and Night Road by Kristin Hannah , which I enjoyed but it wasn't my favorite.

I'm not sure what I'll read next. I have three more library books waiting, so we'll see.
