I know you like your fantasy so you must try the book I'm reading at the moment - Leiyatel's Embrace - I'm loving it!
And Clive S. Johnson is not only a Goodreads author but an Independant one and a fine Yorkshire fellow to boot!I am far too polite to comment upon the fantasies of another. A few more swigs of this wine and my gallantry may dissipate however!

Just finished Mark of the Dragon Queen. I've deliberately avoided YA novels since for years I seemed to be the only person I knew who didn't "get" Harry Potter. I assumed it was a genre thing. Glad though this was picked as one of our monthly reads because I loved it and would probably not have read it otherwise.Now reading Saturday Night at Eddie's. So far I am loving this too.
I've just finished reading Puppy Love and I was disappointed with it. I found the puppy irritating to start with although I did get fond of him eventually. I didn't like the ending, it was very rushed.
Now I'm going back to our authors and having a genre change. Haven't read any mystery for ages so I'm going to read Death in Spigg's Wood.

I've got side tracked. Just downloaded Steven's book which is free today and am reading that instead. It's a kid's book but I'm loving the way that it is written and am enjoying it so far. It's fun.

Just finished The Turtle Boy which was fab. Have started and almost 25% through Shelter from Thunder
Just finished the very short but good Shelter from Thunder! Trawling the Kindle to work out what is next :-)
After using the very clever 'compare your books' part of the site I realised that Patti and I are about 75% compatible with our books so went for a recent one that she enjoyed! Just started Dark Seduction plus I had to find out what all the penis talk was about :-)

I was just a quick review DM I was in the middle of making breakfast will try and write a better one when I have more time to think about it
Finished
which was a nice read. The only problem was that it followed the reading of
which is full of colorful characters. 'Never too late' had some great characters, but some just blended into a general niceness. A good book to unwind at night to and it kept me interested :) It's jumped the queue a bit but after the excitment of having a mysterious author in our midst I've started reading
.
I waded through a few freebies in the past couple days.Let's just not talk about them...
I've now started

I read the whole series years ago and LOVED it. I recently got the series dead cheap on kindle and am hoping I enjoy it again as much as I did the first time.
Oh, and it'll be the first book I read on my new baby kindle. I'll let you know how I get on with it...
Gave up on Bio of a Space Tyrant last night as it just wasn't holding my attention as I needed it to.Started Death in Spigg's Wood instead.

What a page turner! Can't wait to see what happens!
I finished Wicked Woman of the 19th Century, very short but fascinating read and started Memoirs of a Girl who couldnt say no (think that's its name) - it is quite an interesting read. Next book will be a Dog named Slugger.
Just started Re Awakenings, an anthology of Speculative Fiction featuring our own Alison Buck and Gingerlily. At 21% now - really enjoying it.
I finished reading The Absolutely Amazing Adventures of Agent Auggie Spinoza which I enjoyed.
Now I'm reading Death in Spigg's Wood, gripping stuff!

Oh, I'm glad you're enjoyin Death In Spigg's Wood, Karen.I'm going to celebrate the return of my a/c by finishing it today.
Just finished Re Awakenings, an anthology of Speculative Fiction which features stories by our own Gingerlily and Alison Buck amongst others. Really unusual, gripping (and in the case of Gingerlily's, funny) stories.
Just finished
and loved it. I usually stay well clear of any historical books but this is more romance and time travel. Will definitely read more of this author. Just about to start
an author I haven't tried before.
Glad to hear that your A/C is working at last, Patti!
I've finished Death in Spigg's Wood now. Just as I thought I could start to relax the tension and story got all exciting again!!
Now I've just started The Runaway Actress

Just decided to start The Imperfect Tense by Mary Fitzgerald. I really enjoyed Richard Wilde and felt (as I often do) that I had arrived late at a book many people were raving about. Might get in a bit earlier with this!
Finished Barbara Silkstone's funny novel London Broil (Fractured Fairy Tales) going to start Sibel Hodge's Voodoo Deadly
For those of you who like Greek mythology, there's a fascinating and quite beautiful book out, The Song of Achilles, that focuses on the love between Achilles and Patroclus. Madeline Miller has interpreted the heroes of the Iliad in provocative and engaging ways. This subject means a lot to me so I read it with great interest and I recommend it highly. Here's my review
Finished Saturday Night at Eddie's. Really like this guy's style of writing. Will definitely read more from him. Just started my first non-indie for a few months The Sisters Brothers.

I really wish I could remember the title as I'd love to re-read it.
I'll have a look at Song of Achilles. Thanks for the reccie!
Just finished Loisaida -- A New York Story which I did not enjoy and The Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. - Zombie Apocalypse Now which I enjoyed and plan to buy others in the series.Have just started an old favourite Diana by R F Delderfield.
I've just fnished reading Victoria Connelly's latest book and loved it, The Runaway Actress, a real feel-good escapist book set in a quaint little village in Scotland - I can just see it as a film. If you want a bit of light relief this book provides it!
I'm not sure what I will be reading next...too many choices so little time...

Finished Death in Spigg's Woods today. It started well but then I felt like the same ground was being gone over again and again so I found myself skimming.Didn't really 'connect' with any of the characters either.
Have started re-reading a book that I loved when I read it a while ago. It's not been released yet so I had to stop myself from sharing a bit that made me laugh out loud to my Facebook page. I've saved the highlight though. ;)
Ha! I'm chortling thinking about it!

I've still not finished Dracula. Just started to re-read
Finished Spider's Web by Robert Franks. This is Book 2 of the Glass Apple series - fantasy, mythology, battles, fantastic characters. Hard core fantasy and rather good!
