Thanks. I just finished and will pick up later this afternoon. It's Lunar New Yr today and I'm off to my cousin's house to celebrate with family. I hope everyone has a good Sunday.

How did you like Pretty When She Kills? As good as the first?

[Aoibhínn]

I've just finished by Nicholas Evans and by Janet Evanovich.

The Divide started off so well but the plot did get quite slow halfway through the book. I did wish it would speed up at times but the story did remain strangely engaging. The last 60 or 70 pages of the novel were just as gripping and compelling as the first half of the novel. To tell the truth, I enjoyed the family drama sub-plot a lot more than I liked the murder mystery plot but I think that was probably because I didn't like the character of Abbie all that much so I found it hard to care about what happened to her. I loved all the vivid and wonderful descriptions of the Montana setting and landscape that made me feel like I was actually there. Nicholas Evans has got a great writing style and I love his use of language and imagery. I gave this novel 3½ stars!

I love all the regular Stephanie Plum novels but I'm not sure I like these between the numbers novellas. I was very disappointed by Plum Lovin'. Nothing much happened in it and it was extremely dull and boring. It wasn't anywhere near as funny as the regular novels do be and I really hate the supernatural element in the novella. I gave it 1½ stars!

Now I'm a few chapters into by Jennifer Donnelly.

[Regina]

I am not liking . I am 25% in so I am giving up.

I am actually not reading anything right now. I need to do valentines with the kids and we are having such a crazy busy weekend. I need to look at my arc list to see what book is up next.

Leea, where did you leave off?

[Regina]

Ellie I agree about the in-betweens, also around 13-14 was when I gave up on the series. I'll be interested to see what you think.

I liked the first one a lot more which seemed to be grittier than the 2nd. Also, I felt like there were too many characters to keep track of in the 2nd book also. I can't remember if that was the case in book one. Overall, it was a decent UF but it didn't blow me away.

Just a few chapters into it. I may skip Hunting Ground like we talked about and move onto Fair Game.

In fact Kay, let me know when you want to read it and I may join you.

If you ever end up reading book 2, you'll have to let me know what you thought. I've only read the first but wasn't sure if I'd continue.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Anyway, I finished and it was sweet. I appreciated that the author wrote about a deaf woman from her own personal experience with her husband's hearing loss.

Started and will be starting tomorrow.

Hey Stacia, I will!

[Regina]

So I really need to choose something new to listen to. I think I am reading but I haven't started yet.

[Leea]

Happy Monday!!

I'm in such a slump right now... I have not motivation to read and there is so much to do around my house. I hate this feeling, like it's all pilling on me and I don't have time to read which is my little thing I give myself. We've got basketball starting and just got a call from my older sons baseball coach, who's suposed to be amazing but they practice a lot. My husband is coaching Garrett's Tball team because he does not want anyone to no be able to understand him and give him a hard time. I'm glad but it means 2 kids, 2 different practices and 2 different game schedule. lol! So, more shuffling kids around. In the last week, we've added 5 events to our weekly schedule. Sorry, that turned into a rant...

Stacia, Sins and Needles looks so good. I can't wait to hear what you think and read it myself. You'll have to read Bank's other Highlander books, they're all good. I almost think the first series is better.

Hey Leea...I just started Hunting Ground and I have to read 2 more Mercy books. So, I'm thinking next week or the week after Fair Game. I'll touch base with you before I do to see how your mood is.

So far, I'm loving the dynamic between Charles and Anna in Hunting Ground. I forgot how opposite they are from one another but yet they balance each other out as well.

Regina...can you remind me about Cry Wolf (view spoiler)[ I know that Anna was abused in her old pack. Did Bran find her and save her? how did she come about being Charles mate? Was it b/c of Bran who decided on the mating? Or did Charles feel it when they met? I remember they both had trust issues with the mating but their inner wolves gave in to it first. (hide spoiler)]

[Kay]

Wow, Leea....sounds busy. I have my older son in basketball now and tball is starting next week. I can't imagine how it will be when my little one starts sports too.

Reading slumps are the worst. I totally feel you there as I have several of those in a month. LOL

[Regina]

Kay all of that is in the novella pre-quel, which is a great and quick read -I have read it a few times. I love it! Cry Wolf was more of them continuing to work out their bond, they were already bonded before Cry Wolf. . (view spoiler)[I believe Anna made a call to request help to Bran as an intervention to her pack. And Charles was sent. I think it was to report the murder and forced change of the boy who died at the beginning of the first Mercy book. Charles and Anna felt it immediately. It was Charles who explained that she was an Omega. So Charles shows up as an enforcer, his poitn of contact is Anna. They immediately feel connected. He realizes she is "his" and has been abused by her pack so he brings her to Montana. (hide spoiler)] Does that help?

[Leea]

Oh, thanks for the refresher, Regina.

Yes, i'd love to join you next week Kay. Let me know when you want to read it. Thanks!

Thanks, Regina! That helps. I read the short story about 3 years ago...maybe I should skim through it again. I seem to have bad memory sometimes. I think b/c I read so much and everything just blends or blur together after awhile. LOL

[Regina]

LOL -- I completely get that. It stuck out to me b/c Anna lived in the subub I live in now and her pack lived in the suburb that I used to live in! I guess Patricia Briggs used to live in Chicago.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

finished and i just loved it. the plot was great. it had emotions and humor and tons of sexiness. wish i had the rest in the series =(
i'll start
next.

[Regina]

Domino I see a theme in the books you are reading lately! :D *grin*

[Domino (aka Meme)]

yep Regina =D doing a menage challenge and just loving it. haven't done a menage challenge before and never really keep on the same trend, but i'm pleased right now. hehe

[Caitlyn]

I'm reading , and it is really good!

[Kay]

I finished and I loved it. I really enjoy the way Patricia Briggs displays Anna & Charles' newly mated relationship and all of its struggles, adaptation, awkwardness, love, etc. I will most likely start next.

[Kay]

Caitlyn wrote: "I'm reading , and it is really good!"

I really enjoyed this book. Unfortunately, I haven't read any further into the series.

[Leea]

I also really enjoyed Grimspace but haven't read the next book. I hope to one day ;)

I just finished and it had me wishing the next Warm Bodies book. This was short, 140 pages but so good.

Now I want to dive back into

I'm also searching for my next Urban Fantasy series to read, any suggestions?

[Regina]

Silver Bourne is such a beautiful writing of Adam and Mercy's relationship. :)

You have inspired me, I am doing a reread of Fair Game by listening to it.

Oh yay...I'm glad b/c I would like to dive into more of Mercy and Adam's relationship.

Enjoy listening to A & O...I really like these two and how they balance one another.

You've read most of the UFs I've read. I will suggest
. I just love this author's writing style. I also really liked which reminds me I still need to read the 2nd book. Another two that I enjoyed was and .

[Gwennie]

We were talking about starting Pretty When She Dies...

[Leea]

Thanks Kay! We loved Fraters end of Days series. She's an amazing writer.

What did you think of book 2, Kay?

Kay, since u really enjoyed Hunting Ground u'll love . Anna becomes a bit more aggressive and possesive over Charles cause he puts some distance between them. it's for a reason, but u'll really love the outcome. i totally loved it =D

Leea wrote: "Thanks Kay! We loved Fraters end of Days series. She's an amazing writer.

I liked book 1 better b/c it was grittier to me. Also, there were so many POVs in book 2 where it was hard for me to connect to the characters like I did in 1. It was still fun revisiting that world though. Some things happen in 2 where I can see how the different characters will fit into future books.

Thanks, Domino! I'm looking forward to it. I still have to read and before I can dive into to Anna & Charles again. I can't wait!

[Leea]

I decided to start again and I think the reason I had to stop last time was because I had read all the Mercy books and then jumped into A & O and I got burnt out. I'm already 15% and I missed Anna and Charles so much.

I do have a question because it's been so long since I read Cry Wolf (view spoiler)[ Did Anna and Charles sleep together? I thought no but I just can't remember. I know how hurt and scared she was. Thanks (hide spoiler)]

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Kay, I already had Renfield on my list for this month. I also have Elemental Assassin book 1. Shadow Reader's book 2 is on my list for March. I hope you get a chance to read it so we can discuss!

[Kay]

I read up to Elemental #4. I still need to get to 5. I actually enjoy this series so far but be warned that she is descriptively repetitive, if that makes sense. You will get lots of it about color of eyes and her knives.

Let me know when you read Shadow Reader #2. I will make sure to get to it so we can discuss!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I know that the repetitiveness is a big complaint from fans of that series. I've already experienced it with her Mythos Academy series but I enjoyed the books quite a bit, even with that problem.

I'm not sure exactly when I'm read the second McKenzie Lewis book yet, but I'll let you know. I just know that it will be sometime in March.

[Kay]

Well, good thing you're use to her writing style then. I will need to get to the Mythos Academy since your reviews are so convincing ;)

Just let me know a few days before you start McKenzie and I'll squeeze it in. I really liked book #1 and I hope the 2nd one is just as good.

Leea, (view spoiler)[ i actually forgot too if Anna and Charles had sex in Cry Wolf. hehe. had to look at my review. luckily i did mention it. they actually had sex at least twice. and one time was to complete their mate bond. i wrote it was really endearing too. hehe. (hide spoiler)]

[Leea]

Thanks Courtney. From reading part of Hunting Ground they sort of eluted to it. I just love Charles and his "Brother Wolf" side. hehe!

[Kay]

Thanks, Domino. I needed that reminder about Anna and Charles too.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

glad i could help guys =D

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished and really liked it. The book was crazy but entertaining.

[Leea]

Crazy in a good way? Haha!

[Angie Elle]

I took a break from to inadvertently read .

I say inadvertently because I opened it just to see if I'd like the writing style and ended up reading the whole thing.

[Kay]

what did you think Angie? It's pretty my mind f****** right?

[Regina]

So I am reading which is an arc. I am not sure if I am loving it. It is keeping me reading and it is a psycholgoical thriller, interesting family dynamic stuff.
