I love using Fictiondb for keeping track of my books (as well as goodreads) but Fictiondb is not listing the books that are ebooks only. I like that site because I can see what books are coming out in the next months and mark them to get

Mod
Jenny, January 2012 is when Stalker in the Shadows comes out. :)
Awesome! Thanks so much Melanie!
But Camy how can I wait that long (for me its more like march by the time I can get my hands on it if not later!)
Mod
well its more than toppling but doesn't mean I dont want to read your next book. Some books just have to be read!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started Molly Harper's "Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs," because she lives close to me, and I want so BADLY to support a local author - but I just can't get into the vampire thing. So, I put it down - may come back to it - and now I'm reading Kaye Dacus' "Ransome's Quest." I'm VERY excited! It starts out with a PIRATE! THAT, I can get into! :D
just finished up I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced, will start into Unplanned: The Dramatic True Story of a Former Planned Parenthood Leader's Eye-Opening Journey across the Life Line in it's wake (I like to have a biography/memoir of some sort in my mix, always!still working on False Witness (the loan time expires today... oops! I'm going to try the turn off the wireless trick to see if I can lengthen my chances!)
in light of the movie coming out, a friend is loaning me her ACTUAL BOOK: The Help to read, before we go... not sure how well I'll do with a real book after over 18mos or die hard kindle usage... we'll see!
I finished Miriams Heart by Emma Miller and now will start Ransomes crossing.
Mod
I'm not that into vampires either, but I absolutely love that title!
Mod
Does that wireless turn off trick work??? I'll have to try that with my Nook.
Mod
Ha! Continuing our Kaye Dacus kick...

Camy wrote: "Does that wireless turn off trick work??? I'll have to try that with my Nook."so far, so good... got my "your loan expired" notice in my email... but with the wireless off on my kindle, I'm still reading steady freddie (just over halfway through!)
Just an update loving Ransomes crossing (the late nights are killing me) but love the book I am glad I waited till I had the two to read together as its amazing what you forget in a series.

Stayed up very late--too late--last night to finish it. Wonderful end to the series.
Oh wow I finished Ransomes crossing late last night and want to get onto Ransome's Quest which I will start today.I would love to see this series in a movie series. it too me back to Hornblower in some ways.
Im now onto Ransomes Quest but I just couldn't stay awake to read last night its wonderful.
Mod
I agree, I do the same thing!
I finished it last night great series. Oh its one of those series that the end of the book leaves you wanting to know what next. I am so glad I waited cos of this.
Ausjenny wrote: "I finished it last night great series. Oh its one of those series that the end of the book leaves you wanting to know what next. I am so glad I waited cos of this."That's funny, Ausjenny. I had the exact opposite feeling. For me, Ransome's Crossing was the perfect end to a wonderful series. Kaye tied up the loose ends in a such a way that I was satisfied to close the book and walk away.

I finished it, too - LOVED IT!!!! Since then, I've read Susan Page Davis' The Crimson Cipher. What a great book! WWI suspense, intrigue, and as sweet a love story as you would ever want to read!
Mod
Regina I loved The Crimson Cipher also.

The Restorer: I started this because it has a really interesting story premise, although it's secular so the whole premise about ghosts might make some Christians uncomfortable. I don't personally believe in ghosts, but I enjoy a good speculative fiction story anyday--I read almost all fantasy when I was in my teens.
Lucy's Scoundrel: I love the old Harlequin Regency category books. They were clean (for the most part) and short and sweet. The story premise for this looked interesting. I might actually steal the premise and write a Regency short story just for fun.
The Book of Romance: What Solomon Says About Love, Sex, and Intimacy: I started this book because I'm reading through the entire Bible again, and the Song of Solomon always baffles me since the metaphors are SO out of my cultural zone. So I picked up this book to see if it will better explain some of the language and meanings. So far it's great, although it's more topical than actually going line by line through the scripture. At points it almost feels like he's using the verse to get his point across, but there's nothing un-Biblical about it, so it's fine.
