I've been wanting to start this series. Glad to know that you enjoyed it.

[Regina]

I will be listening once I finish

[Kay]

Regina, you'll have to let me know how you like it when you start. It's interesting reading from the zombie's POV which I never have before.

how are you liking Dreaming of You? I really enjoyed that series.

[Regina]

Kay I am liking it alot. It feels slightly different than LK's more recently written historicals, but I like it. Dereck and Sara are very likeable.

Oh and answering your question above about Lily's daughter in Then Came You (view spoiler)[ Lily had a 4 year old daughter out of wedlock with an Italian rogue. Nobody knew about her daughter. Ultimately, Alex accepts both Lily and her daughter Nicole and she is able to raise her as her daughter -- but how they do this is never discussed. (hide spoiler)]

If there's a copy of it on Amazon or similar site, there's info out there and a librarian can add it for you to the database.

[Leea]

I really liked Warm Bodies, hope you ladies enjoy it.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished and ended up really liking it. The first half of the book was almost an exact mirror of the start of my relationship with my husband, so it was like taking a trip down memory lane. I like that the book reminded me of the 5th Street series. It's sort of weird that I didn't read book 1 (a lot of people didn't like the first book but loved the second), but I didn't feel like I missed out on anything.

The creative non-sex scenes were smokin'.

Oh, and I started and this one is crazy so far...

Looking forward to hearing what you think. I read this one last year sometime.

[Kay]

I finished . I liked it but didn't love it like some of you.

I also just finished Bouquet Toss by Melissa Brown...I just wasted hours of my life! Not sure what to read next.

[Leea]

Are you going to see the movie, Warm Bodies or are you just not interested?

I'm about half way through, and I like it but it's a slower book then the last few books i've read. I can see it's building and I'm enjoying both sides of Perry and Aria's worlds.

[Kay]

I will watch the movie but it might be a rental for me.

It took me a minute to get into Under the Never Sky too but once I did, I was hooked. Enjoy!

[Leea]

I just met Roar and now it's picked up for me, around the Half way mark.

[Gwennie]

Yep, I'm at 49%.

[Leea]

I'm going to use the text- to-speak feature on my drive to sacramento. This will be the first time but it's 45 min drive and I want to read or listen :)

[Susan]

I started Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas.

I think I need therapy after reading this. It was good but it also drove me crazy. The first half I was all "I HATE THIS GIRL AND HOW SHE'S CHECKIN' HIM OUT." The second half was all "Okay...that's kind of hot."

But at least they went from engaging in eye-rolling behavior to becoming actual, functioning human beings.

So yeah. It was definitely an interesting read. Creepy, strange and uncomfortably sexy in parts, but interesting.

[Amith]

I am currently reading Dante's The Divine Comedy. So far it's very interesting and enjoyable.

[Regina]

Shara, I have never read it - -only critiques of it. I look forward to your thoughts.

I just finished an amazing and hearbreaking book. It was for a challenge and for a real life book club. The book was written by a former Russian Jew who fled Russia after the revolution and lived in France her entire life, her husband as well. They had children and converted to catholicism. She was a well known European author. She was writing a book about the Nazi occupation while it was going on. But she never finished b/c she was sent to a concentration camp and died there shortly thereafter - leaving behind her two young daughters. There are two appendices to the book, one is her notes on where she wanted the book to go and another is the letters by her first asking friends to help and protect her (before she was taken away but there was a directive for her to report) and then letters from her husband begging friends to help find her and perhaps get her food and clothing in the camp. Then there are subsequent letters from people donating money to pay for the education of her daughters post-war. Just heartbreaking. And beautifully written.

Due to real life crap (I feel like you are all so sick of it, so I won't post details but ugh, I just never can get a break. I want to be able to just read!) I am slow going on books but I am reading and finishing up the audio of

you summed it up well. Great review as well. I did feel like the book was all over the place too. But it was interesting enough since I haven't read other books with that kind of situation.

Does anyone have any recs for a historical romance novel that has some funny and witty writing similar to Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn, Olivia Parker or Sarah MacLean?

I really like 9 Rules to Break when Romancing a Rake by Sarah McLean and A Week to Be Wicked by Tessa Dare. They're a couple of my go-to books for exactly that.

[Ridh]

I have to second Tellulah. If anyone were to ask me for an author who could match LK or JQ's wit and humor, it would be Tessa Dare. Her name's the first that comes to mind. :)

[Regina]

I still need to read all of those authors! So much to read. ;)

Kay I feel like I follow you around and read the romance books that you do. ;)

Suzanne Enoch's Lessons in Love series is a favorite of mine.

[Regina]

I may be in the minority and I should say I have really liked the book up until now but I feel like the story should be over -- why is it still going? And I still have 1.5 hours to listen to?!

I need to read some Enoch. Angie, are the sex scenes fade to black or more like Kleypas's - more explicit?

They are more like LK's. And SE's books have a lot of humor, too.

[Regina]

Oh fun. I am moving those up. ;) Thank you. Which should I start with -- I have a ton to choose from. :)

Either the Lessons in Love trilogy:

The Rake London's Perfect Scoundrel England's Perfect Hero

or the Griffin Family:

Sin and Sensibility An Invitation to Sin Something Sinful Sins of a Duke

[Regina]

Thank you!!

[Angie Elle]

You're welcome. I can't wait to hear what you think!

[Kay]

Thanks, Riddhi and Tellulah! I ended up picking up A Week to be Wicked by Dare and I'm really enjoying it. The humor is just the right amount.

Regina...well, we do tend to like the same books. I follow you around as well especially with UF.

Angie, I have that series on my list by Enoch. I may get to it real soon.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

forgot to mention i started a couple days ago.

[Regina]

I LOVE

[Domino (aka Meme)]

it's really good Regina. i had been listening to audio books and just found out a couple days ago it was on audio and was overjoyed. i love the narrator. his voice for Charles is great! plus i'm loving how Anna is becoming more possessive of Charles now. too cute!

[Aoibhínn]

I've just finished by William Landay. Defending Jacob is a well-written, disturbing and gripping crime thriller with plenty of twists and turns throughout the novel to keep you interested. I really enjoyed this book. I was hooked from the very beginning to the end. The reader is kept guessing as to whether Jacob is innocent or guilty until the very end of the novel. Throughout the trial I kept changing my mind about whether Jacob was guilty or not. I thought this was a excellent read so I’m giving it a well-deserved five stars!

I'm looking forward to reading this one. I think they have the first in this series available at Netgalley, too, Stacia.

[Leea]

I'm reading and loving Nash and Tess... also Sophia and Deck... I know these are new characters but Brockmanns writing has improved and she just starts right off - LOVE IT!

[Regina]

Oh yeah! Is Wendy too? That is one if my favorites. It was actually the first in the series that I read.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Angie, I had a few friends who didn't like the first book, but loved the second. That's why I skipped ahead. I didn't feel like I'd missed anything.

[Leea]

Yes, we're reading it together. I can only speak for myself but i'm loving our buddy reads, this is like the 5th book in a row. lol! We're texting the whole time and it's awesome!

This looks like a great series. Do you like this series, Kit?

[Gwennie]

Yep, I'm reading it! She's a few chapters ahead of me though, I'm going to catch up.

[Kay]

I finished which I really liked. Now, I'm reading . I'm just a sucker for a tortured hero.

Oh...and Yay 9ers!

[Kit★]

Yea, I am enjoying them so far, been doing one a month. At first I wasn't the biggest fan of the heroes, but as I go on, they've grown on me :)

[Regina]

Oh my goodness, is so amazing. Marchetta has written her best books with Froi and Quintana (in my opinion). I don't want Quintana to end.

[Gwennie]

I loved it so much! (Jellicoe Road is still my favorite MM, but Froi and Quintana are up there.)

[Regina]

I love the interaction between Froi and Finnikin.
