Also read which was okay and which it turns out I've read before and had totally forgotten. Does the Kate/Curran relationship just build in steaminess?

[Courtney]

Tellulah - Yes! That is why I loved the series :)

Alrighty then. On to book 2. :)

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I already commented on your review but you can blame me for the gut punches.

[Krissy]

I have just started

Thank you :)

[Courtney]

Finally finished ! A pretty good read, actually. It picks up halfway and makes you want to keep reading. There were some intense scenes in here, too. I kind of want to pick up the next book now.

[Courtney]

Continuing on with the Anna Strong series . Let's see how this goes!!

I'm glad it got better. I will get back to this book again someday.

[Kay]

I haven't read much at all this week. My brother and sister in law just left yesterday. they were staying with us for about 5 days so we've been busy. Now that they are gone, I hope to finally get some reading done again.

I started What Kills Me by Wynne Channing. It's okay so far but it's still too early to tell.

[Marcella]

I am way into and . They are just too good right now. I brought my Nook to work so I can read during my lunch break. LOL!

[Regina]

I love getting lost like that in good books. You are so luck Marcella!

[Marcella]

Well with the way work has been lately, I need an escape.

[Leea]

Marcella, haven't read much on our trip but were going to head home soon. So... I haven't read much. I'm so sorry but once I get home I plan to read more :)

[Kay]

For those who have read ...do you think it's worth the time to pick up this series? I don't read too much mainstream fiction b/c sometimes it just seems to be over rated. I just watched the american version of the movie a couple of the days ago and really liked it. So, I'm just wondering if I should invest my time reading it.

I totally feel you!!

[Regina]

Kay I loved it, but I don't think it is for everyone. I read a lot of contempory fiction and mysteries. I read the first two and loved the 2nd one more. Even saying that though, the first 50-75 pages are really dry and likely would have been edited out had the author lived. The story doesn't get going until after page 75 or so.

It has been just a really bad couple months here.

[Kay]

Hmmm...okay. Thanks, Regina. I think I will move it up my list. I know that you read and ...did you like these books more or less? Or are they too different to compare?

[Regina]

Very different to compare. Sharp Objects and Gone Girl are more pulpish fiction -- extremely fast reads, fast results and shorter books. And the main characters are not heroes in anyway. Dragon definitely has a hero/heroine fighting evil, those books are a very slow build and longer.

Both are extremely dark, which I like. :)

[Kay]

thanks....i like dark!!

[Leea]

Headed home from the OC... It's been a long couple of days and I cannot wait to see my kids and hubby!

[Kay]

Have a safe drive back, Leea.

I found this article interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/26/bus...

I'm thankful to have such great goodreads friends with real reviews that I trust.

[Regina]

Safe travels! Kay that is so disgusting! What the heck?!! That bothers me to such a high degree -- $28k a month?!

[Regina]

I finished Endgame by Aguirre. It was a good. A great ending. :) I am trying to figure out where to go next since I have been in such a slump. I think I may avoid urban fantasy and paranormal romance (including YA) for awhile even my favorite series for a month or so. I need some reading magic back in my life!

[Courtney]

I just finished ...an ok, but fast, read. I decided I won't continue this series. There's really no chemistry with any male characters that the heroine comes into contact with that I can detect.

Have to figure out what to read next!

[Marcella]

Courtney...if you like m/m I highly recommend . I love these characters. They are like crack to me...seriously.

[Courtney]

Marcella - Nah, I'm not a m/m person, but thanks for the suggestion!

[Courtney]

I decided on because I haven't read historical romance in a long, long time.

[Kay]

I find it disturbing that 1/3 of reviews aren't even real! Ugh...this is so disheartening.

I like Julia Quinn. I hope you enjoy it.

That reminds me that I need to read book 2 at some point.

Just finished the Dimitri and Rose story in and I think I had a grin on my face the entire time. I'm so sappy for Dimka.

[Tellulah]

Read Not sure. Rohan was sexy but it was so over the top in some ways - like heroine doth protest "no no no" while KIng of Hell toys and would twirl mustachio if he had it. It was all this way until suddenly it wasn't and now they love each other.

[Regina]

Stacia I didn't know about that anthology! I need to read it for the Richelle Mead and Laini Taylor shorts now!

[Leea]

I know, I need it NOW too. haha!

I'm Home... Now off to the Doctor for an already schduled procedure. I might fall asleep on the table. haha! I also have to work tonight and we have a packed weekend - Yikes! No rest for the weary.

I didn't read a word on my trip/home recon mission so I hope to crack open my Kindle today.

[Gwennie]

I'm not reading at all either, which is so hard when I'm 60% into Chasing Magic.

I'll have Sunday night and Monday to read.

[Leea]

How are you liking Chasing Magic? I couldn't put it down.

[Kay]

I finished and I really liked it. It's a bloody YA vampire read.

[Gwennie]

I am LOVING it. It's hard to not read, because it's weighing on me. I wish I could read more, but I'm eager to finish it Sunday night and Monday!

[Marcella]

Regina...I'm watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and he just went to Chicago to some place called 90 Miles Cuban Cafe and it looks amazing. Have you eaten there? If not you have to go and let me know how it is.

ooh Courtney, i'd love to hear what u think of this one. i bought awhile back and haven't read it yet. never read Quin before.

[Tellulah]

Really enjoyed

[Marcella]

Tellulah wrote: "Really enjoyed "

I remember this one. It was so good and a very fun read.

[Courtney]

Domino - I'll let you know how it goes! So far, it's reading like a typical Julia Quinn novel - light and humorous.

[Regina]

I am (finally) watching One for the Money and am enjoying it. My husband is even laughing. :). It could be better but it is fun.

[Marcella]

Hey Regina did you see my post? Look at message 4569.

[Regina]

I missed that Marcella, thanks for posting again. That restaurant is about 10 minutes from my house (I am in Oak Park and that is Logan's Square) and I have never been there! I am definitely going to give it a try, I love Cuban food and it is hard to find a good place. There are two near me that are decent but not fantastic. Yuummmmmm, I want that now. I love that show but always seem to miss it, it is funny bc I like it and it annoys my husband. :)

But I will try to go in the next few months and report back with pictures. :)

So we enjoyed One for the Money -- even my husband did! Man, Ranger was smokin' hot.

[Leea]

I'm about half way through Rock Chick Regret and this book has taken a darker turn and is dealing with real issues and they are handling it so well.

One for the Money was a fun movie!
