See that's tough for me Cherra cuz I personally loved both Merry Gentry and Anita Blake... but I know what you mean! I know there are poeple who absolutely LOVE Cassie Palmer series, but you know not all books are for everyone!:)

Im reading the paper back one that's about 1152 pages im at page 196. It's ok so far, interesting story line!"

I couldn't get into it until half way then I was like ho hum. LOL! Although I can't wait to see the movie though LOL!

[Samantha]

I have 20 pages left of the coffin club then onto Royal Blood, that should be done by tonight if I get time to read later. These Vampire Kisses books are so small great for any reading challenge. Especially if you are busy.

Well, to be fair, I had just read the BDB series and the Midnight Breed series and I really liked those. You know sometimes the "rebound book" doesn't get a fair shot when you have just finished a series you love.

Oh yeah I have not read the Breed series but I hear it's just as good as BDB, so I can totally understand that!!

It took me 2 times to get into Anita Blake - but I'm enjoying the books at lot more this time. I liked the Merry Gentry books too - although a lot people made complaints after the first 2 or 3 books. I thought it was better than a lot of books that other people were crazy about and I couldn't get past the first chapter.

It takes a while to get into that book but then it gets really good. Are they seriously making a movie of the Host?? I had not heard that!

..."

[Samantha]

yes they are making a movie of the Host.It's suppose to come out sometime next year.

[Mariah]

Currently reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Got tired of waiting for my books to come in the library, currently waiting on many, many books

[Laura Lulu]

Started The Goose Girl last night and am really liking it--didn't want to go to bed, which is always a sign of a good book.

It's just a sweet fairy tale-ish YA book.

[Samantha]

I am reading Iron Kissed, book number 3 of the Mercedes Thompson series, by Patricia Briggs, it's part of my October challenge.

[new_user]

I didn't realize The Host was that long. o.o LOL. Oh, well, if it's good, I'm sure I won't notice.

[Samantha]

It's GIGANTIC!

[Jaime]

I just finished The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks. It was pretty good. I liked that Maya is a Harlequin whose job it is to protect the Traveler, and she's real kick ass. I would have liked to know her better, though, and the author seems to purposely keep us at a distance. In her POV, for instance, she's referred to as the Harlequin sometimes.

Now I'm reading Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs, whom I saw at Necronomicon this past weekend. I sat in on a panel and enjoyed her talk on grabbing the reader not literally, LOL). I'm liking the book, too.

[FlibBityFLooB]

new_user: The Host is long, but I finished in one evening. Once you get past the first 100 pages or so, it speeds up and gets interesting!

[new_user]

Thanks, Flib! I'll keep that in mind when I'm reading and stay the course. ;) LOL, Jaime, but what if she did grab the reader literally? That would be awesome. "*grab* Read my book, suckah."

[The Flooze]

Awesome. Jail-worthy, but awesome.

And I'm now imagining Patricia Briggs as Mister T.

:)

Yeah it does I will have to admit that.

[Carolyn F.]

I'm now on to Cerulean Sins. Phew!

[FlibBityFLooB]

Just finished Queene of Light last night, so I think I'm planning on reading the sequel Child of Darkness. I like the covers on these books (maybe more than the books themselves hehe)

I am also going to be listening to the audiobook for The Scent of Shadows The First Sign of the Zodiac while I'm at work. Downloaded it from audible last month, so I've been meaning to read it.

Incidently, you can read the first 80 pages of SCENT OF SHADOWS online at the following website: http://browseinside.harpercollins.com/index.aspx?isbn13=9780060898915

[Jessa ♥ EvilDarkSide]

I'm still working on the Midnight Breed series. I'm about to start book 5.

[Susan (Suz)]

I finished and yesterday I started the just released

[[deleted user]]

I am not sure yet if this book is paranormal but I am about to start you can let me know. Have any of you heard about I think it is a YA or JF but I am gunna read that next and I think it is set in the rural part of the country and another book is pretty much the same chain of events only it happens in the city. Then there is a sequel to Life as we knew it.

[Susan (Suz)]

Wow Jinnifer that looks like some deep reading material... Will be interested to hear what you think of them....

I haven't read THE LOVELY BONES, but I know several people who have. I wouldn't consider it paranormal really. The other 2 you mention sound really interesting and I've added them to my "to read" shelf.

[new_user]

Haha, Flib, I like the covers too. I'm still in the process of reading Queene.

Jinnifer, I have Life as We Knew It on TBR, but I really hope the sequel is not just a repeat except in the country. D:

[Jennifer]

Just finished Summer Knight. I just can't get enough of that Harry Dresden. Or Mercy Thompson for that matter. Just finished Bone Crossed yesterday.

Now reading Dexter in the Dark by Jeff Lindsay and Last Battle of the Icemark by Stuart Hill. Getting ready to start Foxmask by Juliet Marilier also.

You know I am not sure if that is all there is to it someone said it was just a different view of the same event???

I thought it was pretty good. I think I liked the first couple of books just a little better, but I still had a hard time putting this one down. (I may have been late coming back from lunch once or twice because of it)

[Starzee]

oh ok sounds promising then. thanks :D

[Jennifer]

Has anyone read the Jill Kismet series by Lilith Saintcrow? Wondering how good it is...

I liked BONE CROSSED the least of all the Mercy Thompson books. Lots of extraneous characters I didn't care for.

yes when i read about it online i was afraid of that. seems like they were introducing too many new characters. oh well i guess im going to have to find out. it will be such ashame if its not as good. i really like the series so far.

[Starzee]

also melodie i was just wandering... can characters be gratuitous? does that make sense?

[Literary Ames]

I've just finished Tempted, number 6 in the House of Night series by P.C. Cast which was really sad and I've just started Bite Marks, number 6 in the Jaz Parks series by Jennifer Rardin.

[Tonya]

I am currently reading and am really liking it so far. Now I have to come up with some money to buy the next two unless I can find them in the used book store.

[Lianne]

I'm currently reading Keri Arthur's Dark Mono Rising, and I can't say I'm a huge fan. The characters are very flat and the whole mating premise just seems contrived.

It's a shame. I haven't read a good UF book since Dreamfever came out :(

I literally LOL'd when I read it--"OMG SEAHORSIE YAY!"

Is it bad that now I want to read her books just based on her snarky comment? :)

[Laura Lulu]

And looking at her covers, I actually really do like them, seahorse notwithstanding. MUCH prefer them to sexy women with weapons & shirtless men covers that I'm embarrassed for people to see me reading.

[FlibBityFLooB]

Laura - I do like the covers. That was attracted me to read the books to begin with :)

[new_user]

Me too, Laura. :)

[Shannon]

Started last night. I was going to wait for the paperback but I really wanted to know how the series was going to end.

how is this series compared to the southern vampire series?

Oh I'm sad to hear this Lianne as the Riley Jensen series is one of my fav's! I'm reading book 8 that just came out... I loved this series from book 1 and they just get better, but sounds like if you don't like book 1 you likely won't like the rest :(:(

[The Flooze]

Laura, I cracked up too. I have the first book and the snarky comment will definitely encourage me to push it up the list!

Cherra, Harper Connelly is much more serious in tone, since the lead character doesn't possess Sookie's optimism. Harper can see how people died, so the nature of her power sets the tone.

It's more thriller than Sookie, and I don't think you get to know the characters as well as you do Sookie, Eric, Sam and the rest. It's a good series, just very different. Don't go into it expecting whimsical moments!
