I finished reading by Nicholas Sparks a few hours ago. The book was a bit of a disappointment really. I've read most of Spark's books and I think I'm too used to his writing style. I found the plot of the story to be extremely predictable and slightly unrealistic. But if you've never read a Nicholas Spark novel before, you'd probably like it.


Now I'm about to start reading by John Grisham. It's the october monthly read in a Goodreads group I'm in and I want to get a head start on it.

[Courtney]

I'm going to read . Haven't read a Meg Cabot book in a really long time!

I've been wanting to try some of her books out. Can you recommend one that you really liked?

[Kay]

Has anyone read ? I saw the Hallmark movie for this a few years ago and really liked it. I wonder if the book is any good.

[Regina]

I haven't Kay but it sounds interesting.

I went to the library today and was surprised to find waiting for me.

[Courtney]

Kay - I actually didn't really like any of her books. I've only read the Princess Diaries series and Avalon High, which are YA books. I haven't read many of her contemporary adult novels. So I think this will be my first. But I'll let you know how it goes!

[Jen (at last!)]

Kay, I love the movie Love Comes softly. I've actually seen the entire series.

I read the book after seeing the movie since I loved it so much. If I remember correctly the movie departs a bit from the book(as is the norm). I think I read the first two. They were good, but not amazing. They are Christian historical fiction.

[Kay]

I still haven't read the Fallen Angels series yet. I'm glad you got it from the library. You probably was 1st in line.

Thanks, Courtney. I'll wait to hear what you think about that book then. Hopefully, you like it better than her others.

I haven't read the series in years but I loved it back then. The movies too.

Yes. I thought I said, they got very animalistic. hahaha!

[Kay]

Thanks Jen & Stacia...I'm off to see if I can find it. The books seem tame but sweet.

[Leea]

Finished At Peace.

The next few days are so busy, I hope I have a chance to read at all.

[Jen (at last!)]

I've been on a HUGE romance novel kick, of late. I just read the Dundee,Idaho series by Brenda Novak. They were pretty cute since I really liked the town's characters. There are more to the series, but I think I'm going to take a break and read something else.

I think it's time for the Texas Rogues series by Lorraine Heath ! *cough* Leea :)

[Courtney]

Leea - I'm guessing that was in the second book then? I probably won't buy it! Just read it when I go to the bookstore or something xD

Stacia - I loved the movie, too! And the books were pretty good, just not memorable. I just liked it.

[Jen (at last!)]

Kay wrote: "Thanks Jen & Stacia...I'm off to see if I can find it. The books seem tame but sweet."

You're welcome, Kay. They are very tame and have a simple writing style, but sometimes I like that. These books were written a while back, too, in the late 70's.

[Courtney]

Ok, hang on. I did read more of Meg Cabot's books! My favorites of hers were and . They're YA/historical romance. They were one of the first few romance books I've read.

We can start it now if you want, i'm game but I didn't want to rush you :)

Hahahaha, I was just picking on you. I've got nothing pressing to read, but I can wait til next week. It'll give me a chance to buy them from Kindle.

[Leea]

I can start if you want, I haven't picked anything to read yet. Up to you, I also sent you a message ;)

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I'm actually curious about the Mona Lisa books. Is it shifters having sex in animal form? I always wonder why shifters don't do this more often? It's not bestiality if both people are in animal form. If it's person to animal, that's a different story.

Finished and it did read like a mix of an updated and fluffier version of And Then There Were None plus the show Harpers Island (I really did love that show!). I think the book would be a lot more exciting to anyone who hasn't read ATTWN because it would feel new to them (Ten was a retelling, so I don't knock it for being similar in parts). It was a fast and easy read...fun enough, but not the best murder mystery I've read.

Your welcome and I had the same feeling as well. I wasn't looking forward to it like I was the others. I'm glad I bought it. Enjoy!

I love this series. I forgot I had Lucinda Darkly. I'm going to have to read it now that you reminded me how much I love the way Sunny writes.

[Regina]

No bestiality. Matriarchy - led by a queen and a group of men who serve her

[D.G.]

Regina - Did you get in review or print? I haven't been able to continue listening. I'm so freaking mad.

I'm reading and I'm really liking it. It's the kind of book I like where there's a lot of gray - I feel bad for everybody because they all are in the terrible position.

[Megan]

Finished and loved it. Did rereads of and . Currently reading .

[Regina]

I keep meaning to try the Blacktop Cowboys series. :) Have fun with Shadowfever!

[Regina]

DG I listened to the sample it is so fast, I agree. Were you able to return it? I requested both audio and print from the library and got the print first. I did not get an ARC for this book - I am not sure if Ward does ARCs? It will be weird to hold that big library book on the train. I like being anonymous and not having all my neighbors know what I read.

It had been so long since I had read the first 4 books that I had to do a reread. I love the series.

In there is mating and desire felt while the shifters have shifted - -and mating where the shifters shift to different genders.

[Regina]

I really hate delayed release dates by country, it is frustrating that I can't buy the ebook in the US.

I haven't returned it yet because I don't know if that will delete my review on Audible, which has several helpful votes since yesterday. I think I'll call Customer Service, ask and then see.

I won't be able to review it for the blog as I was planning because I don't know that I care about it in print. I was in love with the way Eric Dove did the narration!

[Regina]

I loved the way he did #1 ( read #2 and #3). I am so all over the place with this series. I liked #2 and didn't really care for most of 1 and 3, but liked parts of 1 and 3. I was hoping that Ward would hit it home with #4. But it sounds like they were rushing production and not checking quality. I am going to go over to audible and give it a helpful vote.

So I had planned on cancelling my audible account, but that meant I had to spend 2 credits and $10 before yesterday - -I had no idea what to buy so now I have 3 credits and I am on the hook again. I need to figure out what to buy and get out!

ETA:
I just went to audible. All the reviews are about speed: http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=hp_f_1?...

One person said they switched to slower and it helped, but you shouldn't have to.

[Regina]

DG I just read your review of Storm Front on audible (I am now following you!) I will say I didn't start listening to the narration until #3 and it is fabulous #3+++ in narration. I have heard other people complain about the narration for 1 and 2. So maybe he does get better.

[Leea]

I hope to read a little bit today. Looks i'm going to put Virgin River on hold for a bit and get back to some Westerns. Going to buddy read with Jen - Yay!!

[Regina]

What Virgin River are you putting on hold?

[Regina]

Just saw your review, are you bored with it?

[Leea]

Didn't even start Virgin River yet, it's #19, Nora's book. I can't wait to read it!

[Regina]

Okay. ;)

Does the book suck D.G.? I have been looking forward to it. But it is fricking expensive at the moment. I refuse to spend that much on a book.

Sometimes I feel the need to start these because I want to be caught up on the series and then I change my mine. What can I say, i'm a women and reserve the right ;)

I honestly don't have a clue. I listened to an hour and stopped when I realized I had probably had had to relisten every 5 minutes 2 and 3 times just to follow what's going on.

[D.G.]

Regina wrote: "One person said they switched to slower and it helped, but you shouldn't have to. "

I tried that but it didn't help for me. I like the pizzass of the previous narrations and it doesn't feel the same if you just slow it down. Also, it sounds really weird.

Ah, that makes sense. So frustrating. This is obviously a production error.

Definitely! And the great thing about books is that they will always be there for you!

Megan, I have On Dublin Street in my to read list because it piqued my interest.

Now you have me interested in that Blacktop Cowboy series. I love cowboys!

Well that is a bit discouraging. The books in this series are a little confusing. Could it be that you listened to it instead of reading that it was too complicated...well more than usual?

Guess what I did this morning ladies. I just booked my vacation for next year. I am going to HAWAII!!!!!!!!
