This is his 10th Book in the Women's Murder Club Series. I have read the first nine books in this series. I dearly love this series. I am trying to keep up with it so I don't get behind.
His 14th Book for this series just came out this month.
Happy Reading...
Just finished Bankers Town by Joel Hames. Great read about the human toll of the last financial meltdown. working on a review. Bankers Town
Reading Henry VIII by Abigail Archer. I've always found Henry VIII to be complex and interesting.
Finished Burdened and started Tainted. Both books are by Peiri Ann. Burdened is free as a Kindle version right now. :) This is an exciting new series. I LOVE IT! :)
Since my last post I've finished

. Really like this book a lot."Oh I SO want to read this one soon too Iris. I've heard so many good things about this one and can't wait to get to it. So glad to know that it is as great as readers are raving.
Currently reading: 
It is good so far! Even though I am only six chapters in.
The book A House Called Askival is written by Merryn Glover, about a woman who returns to India after a long period to tend to her missionary father. It's beautifully written, I picked it up after reading the amazing reviews.It's currently on sale for only £1.09 on Kindle UK. http://www.amazon.co.uk/House-Called-...
I'm currently about 3/4 of the way through Half Wild. Took me a few chapters to get into it but have found my flow and am loving it! 
reading
its taken a little while but I'm really starting to get into it now!
I am reading
and really enjoying it. I've been following Sarah Dalton on Facebook for a while - I have no idea why it has taken me so long to actually read her books! I love finding an author who I feel like, "I should have been reading this all along."
I'm a fan of him as an author, but I haven't read any of his fiction. LOL. One of my favorite books is his book on writing. There is some great stuff in there.
The Norton Book of Science Fiction: North American Science Fiction, 1960-90Just started on this collection of SciFi stories. Started delving into scifi and fantasy a couple years ago and am loving it!

I've just finished
(2*) and have just started
for something completely different. I like to balance out romance books for horror/thrillers and vice versa so I've gone from cheesy romance to zombies! lol
Sophie wrote: "I loved The Name of the Wind and can't wait for book 3 t..."I tend to read here and there for about an hour at a time, so i havent made much of a dint in the book so far, I'm only 190 pages in (there's possible intimidation with how big its is - ebook are good for this, you never really know until your like sheesh this never ends! lol thats how i got through outlander without to much of a hassle :P )
The main character is still talking about the time spent in Tarbean, which while horrid is quite interesting. Its the right amount of disturbing without being to sickening.
hopefully the whole book will stay at least this good, then i'll def be checking out the others! hopefully I'll time it perfectly for book 3 :P
ohh zombie books <3 nothing better than a good zombie book!!
It took me a while to get into the first one but it does pick up. The 3rd book is taking forever and it's so frustrating. My brother and I are impatiently waiting. It's already been a couple years! There's something about zombies that are so unnerving to me. I think it's the mindlessness of them. The book I'm reading right now is interesting because the zombies have re-animated but they're showing no interest in the humans...yet. I get the feeling that things will turn though! Lol
A couple of years! ugh don;t you hate it when that happens?!?! and hear i thought waiting a yr was painful! lol.have you read the Wheel of Time series? I've heard thats really good too.
ohhh let me know if its any good! i love reading different types of zombie books, unfortunately some are pretty terrible :/
Okay finished
it was great! Then I finished
and it was another good one for this series. Now going between

No I haven't read the Wheel of Time series but I'll have a look.
Patrick Rothfuss needs to hurry the hell up. I think my brother has my copies of the books so will have to make sure I reread them when there's any sign of Doors of Stone being released!
I just finished Autumn that I'd borrowed from my local library and it wasn't bad actually. It's set in the UK, rather than the US which you may or may not like. It was an interesting perspective - rather than it being instant carnage, the survivors are lulled into a false sense of security as the newly re-animated corpses are completely harmless at first but then start 'evolving'. Check it out if you like zombie books :)
just finished Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane. Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane: https://youtu.be/Bf7B9RVQmrw
just started Shift, the 2nd part of the Hugh Howey Silo series. wool (part 1) was great, but shift is starting kind of slow...
Finished Accidentally in Love with...a God? - Mimi Jean Pamfiloff. Now I am reading The Doll's House - M.J. Arlidge.

I think my brother has my copies ..."I haven't read the Wheel of Tie series either, but quite a few of my friends who like Patrick Rothfuss highly recommend it. Though i believe its also a rather chunky series, and im pretty sure there was an issue with the last book, but i believe thats currently being sorted out.
I'm so behind on some of fave series, i really need to re-read the books i have already read but catching up on the others. some series i'm like 3, 4 books behind :/ though i guess at least it means i get to binge read them for a while ^_^ rather than having to wait a yr between books.
I prefer my books to be set in all kinds of cultural settings (who wants to always read the same thing) the only problem i sometimes have with that is understanding the slang and/or accent, lol. but then i from australia and sometimes i find australian books to understand for the same reason!! lol.
