[Leea]

I'm really loving Fair Game... It's so much better than Hunting Ground. The story is engaging and I'm enjoying reading about Anna so strong and confident. The whole story with Agent Fraser is going to be interesting. I got to about 24%, Chapter 4, Kay.

[Kay]

I barely made a dent. I got home about an hour ago so I'm only on Ch 2. I love Anne and Charles. I also like the mult POVs as opposed to only Mercy's in her series.

[Regina]

I know!! If is amazing how much better fair game is. Briggs stepped it up and the additional characters added a lot.

[Kay]

Regina, would you say that you liked Fair Game more than some Mercy books?

[Regina]

Yes. Definitely. Although mercy is my favorite. The development charles and anna was so well done. What do you think?

[Kay]

Well...only on Ch 2 so I'm still getting into it. But so far from the other books, I seem to connect w Anna & Charles more then Mercy & Adam. I think it's bc we get to read more about their relationship than Mercy & Adam. Mercy books tend to be more action than romance....while Anna & Charles has a good balance w romance/relationship & action. Just my humble opinion, of course.

[Regina]

You are definitely right. I just love mercy though - and her friends. But Charles is an amazing character.

[Leea]

You're not far behind me. I haven't read much today because my husband is sick, went to the doctor and has a double ear infection. His doctor told him he should have had tubes put in as a kid. He's in such pain, I feel bad for him.

I hope to read more tonight. This is what was missing in Hunting Ground, Anna and Charles working together. I love that anna is taking a front seat and being more dominate.

Oh, I love all her friends too. Mercy & Adam are great too...don't get me wrong. I just seem to feel more for Anna & Charles. Still, Mercy is like CRACK and I can't get enough!

[Kay]

Leea...I'm sorry about hubby. I hope he feels better soon. Ear infections just suck.

[Leea]

Thanks! Are you traveling now Regina?

Any idea which Ellen O'Connell book you want to start Thursday? You know me, always planning. haha!

Leea and I are both reading Fair Game right now. I might start with Stacia on Tuesday depending on he..."

Tuesday still works for me if you're game.

Finished and I have not had so much dislike for a lead female character in a while. I was not a big fan of the book but I might read the next one because I am interested in some of the secondary characters.

[Gwennie]

Did you review it? I've been on the fence about reading it after reading Leea's review.

[Kay]

I just finished watching the season finale for Dowton Abbey. I am just heartbroken & pissed!

[Courtney]

I think I'm going to start today and see how it goes.

[Leea]

Kay wrote: "I just finished watching the season finale for Dowton Abbey. I am just heartbroken & pissed!"

I totally agree, although I saw it coming during the last 5 min and I was almost numb to the whole thing now. I wonder what will happen to (view spoiler)[Maggie and the baby? I know she's strong but they have this amazing love. At least now they have an heir and she can take care of Downton with the money. (hide spoiler)]

[Kay]

Leea....I don't think we'll find anyone who (view spoiler)[ would accept Mary & all her bitchy ways the way Matthew did. Yes, at least they have the money and changed their old fashioned ways of running things. I'm just upset bc the 2 ppl who I loved....Sybil and Matthew are both gone now. If they get rid of Tom, that would piss me off even more. (hide spoiler)]

Is it ok if I join in reading hector?! I can't wait!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Absolutely. Jump on in!

Good luck Courtney. I know you've been having a rough time with new series lately.

Wendy F wrote: "Did you review it? I've been on the fence about reading it after reading Leea's review."

Okay, so I think in many ways that this book was far better than Undeniable. The writing was leaps and bounds ahead of the other book.

The story itself was fine. I just hated the female lead. It sucks when one character's actions can ruin an otherwise good book for you.

Because it was not a writing or story issue and my complaints only had to do with the main character being stupid, I think I'll continue to read the series. Hopefully, the next female lead will have a better head on her shoulders. I want to see the club leader get a HEA and hope he gets his own book.

[Zelda]

I'm reading Desire Me by Robyn De Hart.

[Courtney]

Thank you, Stacia! I'm not holding up too much hope for this one, but I am hoping that it is better than I think it will be.

[Kay]

Yes....join us!

[Regina]

The more the merrier!

I am stuck at the airport. My plane has been delayed 2 hours. Just stinks. Gives me less time of relaxing in my hotel room.

[Regina]

I have started and stopped 10 books while I am here.

Maybe I'll keep is on my to read, but I won't be rushing to it.

That bad, huh?

[Lori]

Reading The Meryl Streep Movie Club and bawling my way through it! It's the best book I've cried my way through since The Joy Luck Club. Wow!

Just saw Diane's reading Wrath And The Letter Opener, so of course, I had to go grab it. Also saw a fellow friend and Lori is reading her way through the Pennyroyal Green series by Julie Anne Long. Since I've read book 1, I decided to add the next couple of books to my TBR.

[Leea]

Regina wrote: "I have started and stopped 10 books while I am here."

You poor thing. Hope you find one that peaks your interest.

[Leea]

Kay, how far are you into Fair Game? i'm about half way in, hope to read more tonight and finish in the am.

[Kay]

Leea wrote: "Kay, how far are you into Fair Game? i'm about half way in, hope to read more tonight and finish in the am."

I'm about 70% in and I hope to finish tonight. How are you liking it? What part are you at?

[Leea]

54%, (view spoiler)[Charles and Anna went and looked at the boys body. (hide spoiler)] I hope to run upstairs and read a lot more tonight. I'm enjoying this so much more than Hunting ground. How do you feel about Fair Game so far?

[Kay]

Leea...I am enjoying it and like I said before I love how Briggs writes Anna & Charles. I just love how C is one scary werewolf but Anna sees more than just that.

[Leea]

I'm now up to 62% (view spoiler)[ they used the witch on the boat to find where Jacob was killed. (hide spoiler)] I agree, I love that about Anna!!

[Regina]

Ear infections are the worst. Have the meds kicked in?

Those are great scenes. Briggs writes some scary witches. They are so freaky. All of her 'monsters' are.

They were all ARCs that I discarded. I need to be more careful in requesting them.

I am listening to and reading

[Leea]

Not really, he's in a lot of pain and can't hear very well. Plus his equilibrium is off, I hope he's feeling better tomorrow. Thanks!

Destiny series, I need to read the next few. Let me know what you think.

[Regina]

Those double infections are horrible -- did his ear drum burst? :( They seem to hit adults hard.

Destiny is a nice escape. :) I liked the first two in the series, not heavy -- easy fun and hot sex scenes.

[Regina]

So I have decided that Susan Mallery is not for me. I tried two of her books and they were just not interesting to me. They even had my favorite themes - redefining one's life, escaping to a magical rural type place. But the books just didn't do it for me.

[Leea]

His ear drum didn't burst but he's in some serious pain. They gave him some drops for pain but it's not working. I wish I had something stronger to give him besides tylenol or Ibuprofen. I didn't get any sleep because he was snoring so laud last night. Normally he doesn't snore, it's nuts! So we're both tired and cranky.

I have yet to read any Susan Mallery books. I have heard others liked them, so I should give them a try. I love those themes as well, our favorite Virgin River is going to be hard to top :)

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Poor little guy. :(

[Leea]

It's my husband. Lol!!!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Oh whoops. I completely missed that.

*facepalm*

My spaciness is showing today. It seems like everyone has kids with either flu or ear issues going on, so I automatically assume kid now.

OH LOOK STACIA...post 7207.

[Leea]

Haha! I think it's funny because he's acting like a baby and all cranky and woe is me. I'm over it!!

[Lori]

Leea, hope your hubby's feeling better soon. My sister fought with ear issues, and I can't imagine the pain! And yes, most guys don't do well being sick or in pain, do they? Hope you get a break soon!

[Aoibhínn]

Yesterday I finished by Jennifer Donnelly. The Tea Rose is an extremely well-researched and well-written novel which is packed full of unexpected twists and turns throughout the story. I absolutely enjoyed this book! I thought this book was very gripping, intriguing and engrossing tale and I found it very hard to put it down for long. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next! I fell in love with all the main characters. They were all so interesting, compelling and very well-developed, especially Fiona. As soon as I finished this novel I brought the sequel, The Winter Rose, on my Kindle and I'm really looking forward to reading it!

I've just started reading by Jojo Moyes.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Aw, Me Before You got me choked up a little.

I started Hector and it's cute so far.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Also started

[Leea]

Finished and loved it! This world is going in a new direction for the next books and i'm excited.

Started (Buddy reading with Wendy *Fist pump*) and i'm about 13% in and it's funny and cute so far. Lindsay is hilarious and going to e fun to read. I have a huge crush on Izzy - please tell me that he gets his HEA?

[Regina]

Isn't the ending of Fair Game freaking amazing!?? I cannot wait to see what happens.

Leea Izzy is my favorite too!! He does get his HEA but not until which is book 16. :D Man I LOVE him. But he has some awesome (and sexy) parts to play in (books 13 and 15).

As far as Into the Storm, I really liked Lindsay. I missed the operations element of the past books, but I liked that the teams were together.

So I am in a hotel, had 2 margaritas and I debating between reading or watching bad tv. Man there is nothing on tv!

[Gwennie]

Izzy is cracking me up! He's so funny!

[Gwennie]

Regina, she's still writing these? I want to see Dave get an HEA.
