Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

This month I finished Mark of the Demon by Diana Rowland, Heaven by V.C. Andrews and Sire by Thomas Galvin.

Right now I've started Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout and have plans to read Alone by Robert J. Crane (recommended by a friend).

I love the Mercy..."

I just finished River Marked and really enjoyed it. It was odd not seeing the pack as much, but I liked learning more about Mercy and seeing her interaction with Adam.

I most recently finished Dead Heat by Patricia Briggs, also in the Mercy Thompson world. I loved it; I wasn't sure about the spin-off series at first, but it's awesome.

I'm going to move on to the Alpha and Omega series soon. My next up is the Chicagoland Vampires books by Chloe Neill since I Have the first four books.

I just fininished Blood Games in the Chicago Vampire Series by Chloe Neill its a favorite series of mine...1 more day till The Shadows comes out!!! It's the next installment in the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward. The Brothers are my obsession so I can barely wait.

I'm up to date on the Mercy Thompson books and have read the first two Chicagoland Vampires books. I'm just getting ready to start book 3. I did go to Ilona Andrews site to read the Curran's POV collection this evening though.

I read my way through Cry Wolf, Hunting Ground, and Fair Game by Patricia Briggs. Then moved on to Some Girls Bite, Friday Night Bites, and Twice Bitten by Chloe Neill. I'm working on No Rest For The Wicked by Kresley Cole and taking Hard Bitten by Chloe Neill to work for break time reading.

Looking forward to hearing what people think about all the Urban Fantasy books on this list! Since I ran out of Patricia Briggs's books to read, I've moved on to Kim Harrison and Jim Butcher. I can't get enough of James Marsters's performances of Butcher's Dresden Files.

I'm currently reading Kristin Kathryn Ruysch's Anniversary Day series. She's releasing the series every month until it concludes and the new Talia book can begin

I recently finished Vision in Silver, which is a third in the Others trilogy by Anne Bishop. I highly recommend those books. I haven't read anything that interprets the Urban Fantasy universe in such a unique way. It's not present day but with magic, instead the supernatural existed and has been a force in North America since it's discovery without being in hiding.

I'm reading Red Fox by Karina Halle.
Finished Startshine and Vertigo, both part of Aurora Rising series.I really liked them.

I've read Half-Blood, Alone, Blood of the Demon, Secrets of the Demon, Sins of the Demon, Touch of the Demon, Fury of the Demon, Driven, and Circle of Dreams: A Quytel Novel since I last posted.

...Methinks my twenty book reading challenge for the year is a tad too small. ;)

The Golem and the Jinn was So Good!

Just finished reading Tortured Souls : The Legend of Primordium by clive barker which was a pretty weird but good horror novella and am now starting The Zodiac Legacy: Convergence which is pretty good thus far.

I just finished Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon - and the Journey of a Generation, and enjoyed it a lot. Biographies aren't the usual thing here, I know, but it's neat to take a look at these famous influential women and the social changes that took place across their younger lives and careers. The author rambles a bit much when setting up background to each section, but it was very interesting.

I just finished Gone Girl last week and I really enjoyed it. I liked the ending but it felt a tad weak but overall I had a great time and plan on reading her other books.

I'm currently reading Heart-Shaped Box, which is...dragging. I'm about half way through and determined to finish it but I'm finding it hard to even have any interest in it. Usually I would drop the book if I wasn't enjoying it but for some reason I keep thinking this will get better. Has anyone read it before...does it pay off to keep reading?

I just finished Illona Andrews first book in their new series "Burn for Me" - I really enjoyed it! Can't wait for the second one to come out! The world building was excellent as usual and I really like the main character.

I just finished this one too! It was recommended to me by a friend and was pretty disappointed when I found out that I had to wait for the second one to be published.

It was surprisingly funny. I loved it!

I also read that one recently and I loved it. Can't wait for the next one.

I just finished The Darkest Minds Series by Alexandra Bracken. I enjoyed this series more than I thought I would. A lot of strong females in this series.

Finished the book of the month, Uprooted by Naomi Novik, now I'm taking a short break from fantasy with Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express, then I'm on to Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind.

Finished Feoicias book and gone on an autobiography binge, read Tina Feys, reading Amy Poehlers and have Sarah Silvermans lined up

Just finished Felicia's book (a must read for this book club!) and Uprooted (now I can read the comments and spoilers :) ). Now reading Kafka On The Shore bu Murakami.

I am already waiting for Never Weird #2!!

Hello guys I need feedback for my first chapter on my journey to completing my first kindle fiction eBook called "the nerd effect". I would really appreciate if you do so.Already have 6 chapters.

I read A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas in a ridiculously short span of time (one day) and I was so so drawn in. Not particularly inventive, but I really feel the writer formed very intriguing characters and pace and a world I really wanted to know more about so highly recommend it. I want more of it, which counts for something!

Following on from the Uprooted hangout I have just finished re-reading The Darkangel by Meredith Ann Pierce. It was almost like an out of body experience, like I was reading it over my 14 year old self's shoulder which made my shoulders tingle. Weird!
The main thing I remembered was the "romance", which is a small fraction of the story and through adult eyes is well creepy. What the hell did I see in him!
Thankfully the rest of the book(which I didn't remember) was really good, an imaginative setting and a satisfying coming of age story.

I just finished reading Felicia day's book You're Never Weird on the Internet Almost. I love it! Such a great book! I loved reading about her life!

I just got done listening to "You're never weird on the Internet"! I came in here looking for a discussion thread on it. Loved it and need to purge my thoughts!

You Are Mine Just finished this and despite the awful cover it was really good!

Next up is this month's pick for VF!

Can't say what I just finished because I honestly don't remember which book was the last. Recently finished Felicia's. Also several "cozy" mysteries, with more queued up. Also recently read the Paper Magician (trilogy). In the last month I signed up for kindle unlimited, so I read a bunch of rando stuff.

Do you like the kindle unlimited? I've been debating whether or not a subscription is worth it.

I decided it wasn't worth it since I'm using bookbub and my library's digital collection via overdrive. Plus it didn't have any of the 45 books on my Amazon wish list, so that made it not worth it for me. However I wouldn't discourage anyone from giving it a try

I have actually found that I like the Alpha and Omega series better than the Mercy series.
Be sure to read the prequel- on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ it's labeled as .5. Starting at Book 1 gets you a huge chunk of info left out. :)

Just finished The 5th Wave in anticipation of the movie coming out next year. I liked the character of Cassie, but the romance was awful and the little sexual content that existed was...painful, to say the least.

Next up is Scarlet by Marissa Meyer.

Just finished A Natural History of Dragons. Just started The Girl with All the Gifts and I'm already 100 pages in :o

I recently finished The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I'm currently reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson and just bought We Were Liars on Kindle :)

I really loved Girl with all the gifts, but know its not for everyone. What did you make of it?

Currently reading The Magicians by Lev Grossman, and before that was Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. I'm using this VagFan hiatus to chip away a bit at my TBR list :)

I just finish The Girl With Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson. I thought is was good, though I do wish there'd been more fleshing out of the world.

Next up is Bone Gap by Laura Ruby. A patron at my library said it was good so I checked it out.

Blood Hound

Finished in 2 days. Can't wait for book 2. Awesome urban fantasy, gay male protag, realistic violence, raw emotions. I seriously cannot recommend it enough.

This month to date I have listen/read to 4 Books and I'm 75% through Kingdom of Lies (Imp #7) by Debra Dunbar.

1.) I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You (Gallagher Girls #1) by Ally Carter
2.) Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy (Gallagher Girls #2) by Ally Carter
3.) Black Wings (Black Wings #1) by Christina Henry
4.) Blue Bloods (Blue Bloods #1) by Melissa de la Cruz

I've actually been fitting in a lot of reading so far this year. Other than this month's VagFan pick, I just recently finished NOS4A2 by Joe Hill , Lightless by C. A. Higgins , All the Light We Cannot See by Anthiny Doerr , Illuminae , The Magician King by Lev Grossman , and have now started on the last of that trilogy, The Magician's Land .

I'm about halfway through Barely Bewitched (Southern Witch #2)
by Kimberly Frost. Next book on my list is Born of Night (The League #1)
by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

I have just finished book 3 of The Sword of Truth series, The blood of the Fold, and wow what an awesome book. I know his work is very subjective but i really like Terry Goodkind as an author.

I just finished Born of Night (The League #1) by Sherrilyn Kenyon yesterday.

Just finished Dreaming Death and still in swoon mode from finishing a story I really loved. I really liked J. Kathleen Cheney's previous series too, but this one was even better. Loved the characters, the magic, the world, the plot, just all the things. Seriously considering immediately re-reading it, it was so good.

I just finished Cinder

Im going to start reading Scarlet

I just finished the Captive Prince trilogy Captive Prince: Volume One which was actually really good. First book definitely the weakest, the final one is excellent, really worth reading.
