Hooray for Odd Thomas! How was Dexter by Design? I have it, and plan to it read soon.... I am hoping it is an improvement over book3... that one let me down a little.

Yay! I really liked Fallen, it was my first Maine novel, and I quickly ran out to by the rest of his books. I would love to hear what you think!
I wanted to start Ulysses with you and the others, but I just have not had the time. I hope I can get to it soon.

I read the first 8 books before watching the series. Then I bought season 1 on DVD and spent the next day and a half watching it almost non-stop, I couldnt pull myself away!

Seriously cool twisted story!

Lori,
Dexter by Design was just ok for me. It was an improvement from book 3 for sure, but this one didn't really do it for me either. The show is awesome, but the books are starting to fall flat in my opinion.



I just joined the group and thought I'd add my what are you reading...
I just finished Club Dead (3rd book in Sookie Stackhouse series) and I'm definately intrigued as to how it's going to play out in the series.
I am currently reading the second volume of the Night World Series by LJ Smith. I'm not loving it so it's taking a while, just because all the stories are the same. I got sucked into the YA series reading this summer, so I figured I'd finish the series and explore more adult books :)

I agree, not a favorite of mine, but still worth a read!

I'm also a quarter of the way through Ulysses and, surprisingly enough, I'm really enjoying it so far. It definitely take effort and concentration on my part, but the payoff when things "click" with me is worth it. My favorite episodes so far are those from Bloom's perspective. Episode 7, in the newspaper office, was the first episode I didn't care for.

I stayed home with a cold yesterday and picked up Sweetness in the Belly - I quickly forgot about my sniffles and aches. Really enjoying this, it's beautifully written and very vividly rendered.

i just finished The Little Stranger. i thought her style of writing and the way the story unfolds - slowly and with grace building the suspense - really suited the time period in which the story takes place. it reminded me a lot of an old black and white Hitchcock movie like Rebecca. i really enjoyed it.

I completely agree. Her sense of pacing is dead on and her subtlety serves to make the story that much more eerie.

I had a feeling I would like her. :o) I'm glad, because I've been looking forward to reading Fingersmith and Affinity as well.

I'm glad your enjoying it, too, Cait. I didn't enjoy Episode 7 either. It's certainly a harder book to read but by taking it in episodes, it's not bad at all.


i *loved* this story. very different style of story, but such a good read.




I found myself laughing out loud at some parts of these books!! I so look forward to each one as it comes out!
