Robin (robinpickell) | 1298 comments Since I last posted on here, I nixed reading Generation Dead (Generation Dead, #1) by Daniel Waters & substituted The Iron Duke (Iron Seas, #1) by Meljean Brook , which I highly enjoyed.
The Grimm Legacy (The Grimm Legacy, #1) by Polly Shulman (very good) & The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle by Christopher Healy (disappointed a little).
The House of Hades (The Heroes of Olympus, #4) by Rick Riordan came out today, so I think I'll read that.

Raymond Mathiesen (raymondmathiesen) | 15 comments The Only Way Out by Don De Lene – Book Review

Problems, problems, problems… Solutions?
Hannah Lane, the seven year old girl we remember from The Power, The Miracle and The Dream, is now 22 years old and a “Pulitzer Prize winning photographer and renowned peace activist” (Ch. 1). She is with a National Geographic team that has just landed on Mars, and has become officially the first woman to set foot on the planet. Hannah has come a very long way since her loosing childhood days as an asthmatic, but how exactly did she get here? Was it really the secret of “the power within … [her] … mind” (Ch. 12) that brought her to these heights?

The Only Way Out: Forgiveness - The Path To Peace & Happiness takes us deeper into the spiritual philosophy set out in De Lene’s earlier book, concentrating on our desire to hurt others, and the solution of reconciliation through absolution. We can never really be at peace unless we are willing to forgive wrong. In this book De Lene digs deeper into a metaphysical view of the world, particularly the idea of God, however, the philosophy presented is not at all ‘orthodox’ religion. De Lene instead derives his inspiration from the non-fiction book A Course In Miracles (Helen Schucman, Foundation for Inner Peace:__ 3rd ed.:__ 2007). De Lene’s book is an unusual blend of novel and teaching manual, and is a very enjoyable and easy way of looking deeper into philosophy.

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) I've had a 5hr bath and finished Vigilante - Kerry Wilkinson. Had some spelling/grammar mistakes, but all in all a very good thriller. I kinda guessed near the end who was doing it and will be carrying on reading the rest of the series. Now I think I will go back to reading Halfhead - Stuart MacBride.


message 6060: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) I've finally given up on Halfhead - Stuart MacBride

"I am sorry to say that I have given this as much energy and time as I can, but I still can't get into the storyline. I have no idea the characters are like the way they are. Not sure where the story is going with a prolific serial killer not doing much as it is and why the police officer is just sat in a pub moaning.

Oh well, I do love Stuart MacBride's books. But I really couldn't get my head and teeth into this Sci-fi style book".

Raymond Mathiesen (raymondmathiesen) | 15 comments American Crow by Jack Lacey – Book Review
Reviewed by Susan McMichael
5 out of 5 stars

Move over Rebus, here comes Blake…
Detective fiction is a little like drinking wine: there is a lot around and everyone has their favourite. When something new comes on the market, the drinker or the reader, looks longingly to their favourite brand or book and says, "I hope the new one is like the old one..." It's not an exact science of course: there is a chemistry to it. The reader can like a new detective story, and then the reader can love a new detective story.

I am a fan of detective stories. I began with Agatha Christie back when I was eleven. I read Sherlock Holmes and moved onto the feminist detectives in the early eighties. It's a little hard to define what I like: sometimes I think that reading anything is really a love story and so is undefinable, but....

I picked up American Crow by Jack Lacey and was hooked. I love American Crow. The character of Sibelius Blake is strongly written and interesting. Blake’s back story comes out through the novel. The plot ending ties beautifully with the beginning: it is very well structured.

So far it's pretty cool. I don't know who to choose Jared or Ian ??


message 6087: by [deleted user] (new)

Haven't done much reading this fortnight. Gah! I got very busy with work.

Read A Conspiracy of Alchemists (The Chronicle of Light and Shadow, #1) by Liesel Schwarz A Clockwork Heart (The Chronicle of Light and Shadow, #2) by Liesel Schwarz The Republic of Thieves (Gentleman Bastard, #3) by Scott Lynch Cold Blooded (Jessica McClain, #3) by Amanda Carlson Bloodfire (Blood Destiny, #1) by Helen Harper

Bloodfire and Cold Blooded were so awesome. Republic of Thieves was good too, but not as great as I was expecting it to be.

I'm currently reading A Study in Silks (The Baskerville Affair, #1) by Emma Jane Holloway .I've been hearing so much about this one, but I'm finding it difficult to read this, somehow.

Well, it not really bad... Just that, I had high expectations on that one.. But, somehow, It seems to be kind of difficult to keep my attention to it... But maybe, that's just me.

Also, I'm just one-fourth into it...Let's hope it gets better..:)

Belkis (bminaya) | 603 comments Okay so since my last post, I finished and LOVED In the Band (Luminescent Juliet, #1) by Jean Haus so happy she's writing another book about another character in the band! Finished Kiss of Midnight (Midnight Breed, #1) by Lara Adrian it was okay, 3 star read. Read Time Mends (Timber Wolves Trilogy, #2) by Tammy Blackwell really good. Need to read the third and last book to this trilogy! Finished A Touch of Crimson (Renegade Angels, #1) by Sylvia Day and it was really good, 4 star read and looking forward to the rest of this series. Then I read Magic Burns (Kate Daniels, #2) by Ilona Andrews and it was very very good. Things are starting to buildup with this series and I'm super excited about getting to the next 2 books! Then I read Finding Cinderella (Hopeless, #2.5) by Colleen Hoover and it was FANTASTIC! As everything and anything Colleen Hoover writes, hands down! the woman is BRILLIANT! Then I read The Scribe (Irin Chronicles, #1) by Elizabeth Hunter and it BLEW ME AWAY! Gah, I LOVE Elizabeth Hunter's writing and imagination and this one was just WOW! Book 2 cannot come soon enough for me. Also finished Dragon Bound (Elder Races, #1) by Thea Harrison and enjoyed this book so much. Hot, interesting, great H/h MCs, great secondary characters, hilarious, action packed, just an all around great read. Will definitely be reading the rest of this series. Then moved onto Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr and let me say that this was my reading surprise. This had so many low ratings, but I truly enjoyed it and will be reading book 2 for sure. Now I'm reading Jabril (Vampires in America, #2) by D.B. Reynolds and Tone Deaf by Olivia Rivers and enjoying both. Up next for me, but not sure in what order Release Me (Stark Trilogy, #1) by J. Kenner Girl with Guitar (Kylie Ryans, #1) by Caisey Quinn The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater but know that on Tuesday I will most definitely be reading Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth because HELLO! That's a MUST for me :)
