    Currently reading 2 books simultaneously - happens so rarely honestly

    The King by JR Ward (new release, avid BDB LOVER!)

    and

    Mermaids in the Basement by Michael Lee - very intriguing, squeezing it in between books to read for review

    I just started Bitten by Kelly Armstrong... It is an ok book. Not sure yet if I prefer the book or the TV series, but I haven't really been blown away with either of them.

    I am also working my way through one on my Kobo called Diva Las Vegas... it was described as similar to the Stephanie Plum series. It is ok, but not as good as the Plum books by Janet Evanovich.

    There's a tv series on the Armstrong books? Whats it called? What channel? Id like to see that...

    It is a Canadian production filmed in Toronto called Bitten which aired on the Space channel here in Canada... It finished last week. It may have aired on the syfy channel in the US.

    I'm readin Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs and I love it. After a couple of years of "meh" books, the last two I've read have restored my faith in current fiction. The other book is Goldfinch my Donna Tartt.

    Finished Miss Peregrine and I loved it (even though the rest of my book club did not) and I'm going to start reading the sequel. In the meantime, I'm listening to Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. I have a new job and I commute an hour each way by car so I figured I'd listen to audiobooks instead of trying to find something decent on the radio.

    Currently I am reading "The Cold Nowhere" by Brian Freemen. It's ok. Johnathan Stride seems to have lost his mojo.

    Recent books I finished are:
    Saints of the shadow Bible / Rankin, Ian..... love John Rebus
    Doing harm / Parsons, Kelly. ...new author great book
    The gods of guilt / Connelly,Michael....a let down. I like Harry Bosch better anyway
    Where monsters dwell / Brekke, Jørgen,...meh...maybe it was the translation, wasnt thriiled
    The silent wife / Harrison,ASA......interesting...characters were pretty self absorbed
    Fear nothing / Garner, Lisa...great
    Watching you / Robotham, Michael...if you have not read him and you like police procedurals...start at the begining

    I just started on the new Christopher Moore book, The Serpent of Venice which is another spin on a classic Shakespeare play. I love his work so much, it's always well-researched, entertaining, and funny!!

    *GASP*
    I love his books!
    I own all of them (I had the new one before everyone else did - my friend works in a book store and got an ARC reading copy and gave it to me) <3 I need to get back into reading his books again!

    You people are killing me! Every time I look at this thread, I add a ton of books to my "must read" list. Between working, logging food and exercising, how in the world can I get to them all?!?

    I'm currently trying to finish all the books I've bought throughout the last few years (but never got around to finishing) before starting my new purchases. Right now I'm reading "the Ladies Lending Library."

    Well I finished TFIOS and, as expected, I cried my way through the last 1/3rd. Now I think I'll start reading Gone Girl again. Also in the middle of A Dance with Dragons.

    How was 'Gone Girl'? I'm tempted to buy it for a trip later this summer. I heard a few reviews, but its not typically a genre I would go for.

    The Last Full Measure. Better than Gods and Generals, nothing's better than Killer Angels though. Going to read Gen. Longstreet's autobiography next.

    Yes, I'm on a civil war kick. After this I think it's going to be noir again.

    I like it. Its not really a genre I steer towards either. I heard a lot of good things about so I got it for my Kindle. I enjoyed it, the twist about halfway through was pretty awesome. Looking forward to the movie so I want to read it again.

    Sigh. I'm reading A Storm of Swords (ASOIAF #3) right now. Love, love, love those books but it takes me forever to finish them and I expect I'll be reading this one for the next seven years. :laugh:
