Although not what I normally read I truly love this series, so much so I have just started again. I miss Ana and especially Christian. It has such an addictive quality and I can't seem to get enough.

I've found with this series that if you read one or two and then don't read the next one for a few weeks or months (or in my case it could be a few years) you don't mind the sameness. I've been reading this series for a long time but I'm only up to Sizzling Sixteen.

And I'm up to Seventeen, I read them about once a year so they are always entertaining to me also.

Dennis Lehane rocks and Sacred is really, really good. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Enjoy the Dick Francis, Lorraine, he never disappoints.

I finished Fall of Giants last week, then started The Report. The story is based on a true occurrence and is interesting, but the writing is... pretentious. I think she was going for atmospheric and missed the mark. Or maybe it's some avant garde thing I'm just to unsophisticated to understand. It's pretty bad.

message 27272: by Riley (new)

Riley Dawson Hushak Just (literally, just, as in 10 minutes ago) finished the Maze Runner trilogy by James Dashner. They were alright--a summer beach/pool read. The series reminded me a lot of the Hunger games in that the prose is very tight and much of the plot focuses on fast action as opposed to character or world building.

Did you like Fall of Giants? I want to read it but I'm not sure if I should commit to buying it or just go to the library. I really enjoyed Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, but I know FoG is not set in that world at all...


message 27275: by Karen M (new)

Karen M | 1956 comments Just started The Royal Victorians: King Edward Vii, His Family And Friends. I suspect this is going to take a long time to read. Very dry.


message 27276: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I've finished reading The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks earlier and now I'm starting Seven Up by Janet Evanovich.

Much as I adore the book of Wicked, I found that his others didn't even come close. For me, anyway.


message 27278: by Ashley (new)

Ashley I'm currently reading Someone Like Summer. I'm thinking this is going to be a pretty short read, which isn't really a bad thing.


message 27279: by Evangeline (new)

Evangeline Ravencraft (evangelineravencraft) | 1 comments I have a few different things I am reading right now, Avalon is one of them, as well as Philippa Gregory's The Lady of the Rivers. I am trying to not get too involved in them right this second as I in the midst of exams so when I feel the need to read and don't have time for much I go for something historical and right now am reading The House of Tudor. I really like this book and its actually written well without being drawn out and seeming too scholarly.

Lorraine (saanichlori) I'm reading Sacred by Dennis Lehane - the 3rd of the Kenzie and Gennaro series and the only one I haven't read.

I felt the same way! I've read Son of a Witch, Mirror Mirror and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and I didn't like any of them nearly as much as Wicked. It was such a letdown.


message 27286: by Flora (new)

Flora Smith (bookwormflo) I'm almost finished with Morning Star by Desiree Finkbeiner. Its not bad but a little too pure for my tastes.

Riley, I really enjoyed Fall of Giants. It had it's faults, but they weren't big enough to spoil the read. Be prepared for some politics and war. The human stories were the good part.

I'm reading Wuthering Heights for the first time.

Ann from S.C. | 1395 comments I finished WORLD BELOW by Sue Miller and gave it a 2. Also read EXPLOSIVE EIGHTEEN by Janet Evanovich and loved it. Now am reading SECTOR C by Phoenix Sullivan.

message 27296: by Scott (new)

Scott | 257 comments I decided to read Double Cross: The Explosive, Inside Story of the Mobster Who Controlled America. I'm just wondering how realistic it is since these are stories relayed to his brother.


message 27297: by Karen M (new)

Karen M | 1956 comments I'm reading The Vampire Hunter Chronicles, a bit different vampire story and good. I'm also reading Smokin' Seventeen, one to go but I'm #180 on the list and they have 25 copies available so I'll just have to be patient.


message 27298: by Callista (new)

Callista | 24 comments I started One Day by David Nicholls, since I've heard great things about it. I'm only a couple pages into it, but I'm enjoying it so far.

I also started Doomsday Book by Connie Willis and The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb, but it's slow going as of right now.


message 27299: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) Yesterday, I finished reading Seven Up by Janet Evanovich and today I've started The Client by John Grisham.
