Quynh (quynh_o) | 1269 comments Since I joined goodreads, it seems like my to-read list increased exponentially. I like reading series, so I have added some to my list. Though the ones I've finished recently are:

FBI/Attorneys series by Julie James. It's a light, fun contemporary romance read. There are 3 books so far.

Another one I finished is Rising Star Chef series by Louisa Edwards. As the series title suggest, it evolves around cooking in a competition. The last book in the series (Hot Under Pressure) was my favorite.

I'm thinking of starting Roxanne St. Claire's books next.

Julie  (gpangel) I finished Immortal in Death (In Death, #3) by J.D. Robb . It was really good. I thought the writing on this one was the best so far. I just started Bride of Blackness Castle A Gentleman of Substance by Elaine Coffman

I don't usually read two books at once but I recently downloaded an app that I will not name and have download some free books that are not currently available here. I got a high recommendation for that series too so I bought the second book from B&N.

Looks like it is going to be a great series. Moving on to the next book, Dead in Red, Dead in Red (Jeff Resnick Mystery, #2) by L.L. Bartlett . I understand she has two other series that I will look into later.

James , Fifty Shades Freed (Fifty Shades, #3) by E.L. James and I don't recommend reading them one right after another. I did it in 3 days and was really burned out. I also read Death Angel, Death Angel by Linda Howard and Killing Time Killing Time by Linda Howard


message 21: by Jeanie (last edited Aug 25, 2012 05:33PM) (new)

Jeanie Jackson Read Kathleen Brooks, Rising Storm Rising Storm (Bluegrass Brothers #2) by Kathleen Brooks and love it as much as the other Bluegrass books. Romantic suspense with a lot of humor.

Now reading Fever Moon by Carolyn Haines Fever Moon by Carolyn Haines. I have read her humorous suspense "Bones" books but this on is a darker suspense. I don't think the rumored werewolf is real so I will just classify it as suspense.


message 22: by Quynh (new)

Quynh (quynh_o) | 1269 comments I went from being jet lagged to being an insomniac, so I'm zombie reading while everyone is asleep. Working my way through Kristen Ashleys Dream Man series.


message 23: by Valerie (new)

Valerie While I'm waiting for more In Death books to arrive at the library I picked up Afraid Of The Dark I've never read Grippando before - loving it.


message 24: by Dee (new)

Dee Sauter (indeathaddict) | 1070 comments Golden Chance The Golden Chance by Jayne Ann Krentz , Sweet Talk Sweet Talk by Julie Garwood , and starting on Honor's Splendor and maybe the Gift


message 25: by Heidi (new)

Heidi (heidid73) | 25 comments I do like Jane Ann Krentz (in all her "incarnations" - the only author other than Nora I know of who separates her styles w/ pseudonyms). I just finished reading Sugar Rush & Sweet Stuff by Donna Kauffman. I'm now in the middle of The Help, which is a good book but a bit too intense and depressing for me. I prefer lighthearted reading material with at least a touch of humor.


message 26: by Dee (new)

Dee Sauter (indeathaddict) | 1070 comments Right now White Lies White Lies (Kell Sabin, #4) by Linda Howard and listening to Reunion in Death Reunion in Death (In Death, #14) by J.D. Robb

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 14969 comments Mod
Finally starting Delusion in Death!


message 28: by Dee (new)

Dee Sauter (indeathaddict) | 1070 comments I am rereading Reunion in Death. Reunion in Death (In Death, #14) by J.D. Robb I so appreciate Robb's attention to police detail. I am so tired of reading books in which there is so many inconsistancies. Robb's books are flawless.


message 29: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 14969 comments Mod
Finished Delusion in Death (In Death, #35) by J.D. Robb and am now starting A Sliver of Shadow (Abby Sinclair, #2) by Allison Pang .

Finally read that series and had to go directly to Rock Chicks. Never thought I would read a series with a name like that. Really enjoyed them although I have the F word. The books in both series were so fun and funny and over the top romantic.


message 32: by Pinky1969 (new)

Pinky1969 | 12 comments just finish reading delusion in death and can't wait for the next In Death book.

Right now I'm listening to one of my favorite boon Treachery in Death and then New York to Dallas. I read and reread to both of these treatment so many time that I know most of the words by heart, nut I keep reading and listening to them.


message 33: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 14969 comments Mod
Well, it's no wonder, Pinky. Those are two of the best in the series. There are many here (me included) who have read the entire series three or more times. Just enjoy yourself.


message 34: by Amie (new)

Amie (alm0824) | 125 comments I finished The Missing (The FBI Psychics #1) by Shiloh Walker this morning. Next on my reading list is Sacred Sins (SS/BV, #1) by Nora Roberts .


message 35: by Dee (new)

Dee Sauter (indeathaddict) | 1070 comments I did it again. I got intimidated by the length of the book and waited until a couple of days before I have to return it to the library. Shadow of Night (All Souls Trilogy, #2) by Deborah Harkness So far it is really good


message 36: by Jeanie (new)

Jeanie Jackson Finished Blood Feud by JD Nixon (ebook only) and heading into Kristen Ashley's Colorado series.


message 37: by Rosemary (last edited Nov 26, 2012 05:22PM) (new)

Rosemary (rsolvang) November 26
I'm just finishing up "Chaos in Death"; then I will being "Delusions in Death" Delusion in Death (In Death, #35) by J.D. Robb ; the "In Death" stories are listened to at the end of the day, as my cat and I wind down, therefore these can take longer than average to complete as one or both of us often fall asleep.

In addition, my book club is about to begin "The Light Between Oceans". The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman

I'm also reviewing some books for pre-teens (4th, 5th, 6th graders), creating a list of titles for young parents for Christmas shopping; I've read "Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Not Reading" Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Not Reading (Charlie Joe Jackson, #1) by Tommy Greenwald and recommend it for anyone whose child enjoys tongue-in-cheek humor.

Now I'm reading "From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg (thus far, this is charming). Also on the pile is "The Captain's Dog" The Captain's Dog My Journey with the Lewis and Clark Tribe by Roland Smith and "By the Great Horn Spoon!" By the Great Horn Spoon! by Sid Fleischman

A lot to read in just a week, so wish me luck!
Thanks.r.

Dee Sauter (indeathaddict) | 1070 comments I'm preparing for my Q&A with Linda Howard and Linda Jones. Since I am not really familiar with Linda Jones I am reading several of her books I just read Bride By Command (Emperor's Brides, #3) by Linda Winstead Jones Bride by command and am reading Sun Witch The Sun Witch (Fyne Witches, #1) by Linda Winstead Jones Moon Witch The Moon Witch (Fyne Witches, #2) by Linda Winstead Jones


message 39: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 14969 comments Mod
I've not read anything by her.


message 40: by Dee (new)

Dee Sauter (indeathaddict) | 1070 comments I really liked Bride by Command, although I didn't realize until I finished the book that this is the last in a trilogy. Untouchable (first) and 22 Nights (2nd book) they are PRN romances


message 41: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 14969 comments Mod
I hate when that happens. I just finished a book that had an earlier connected book that wasn't indicated as such on the author's website or here on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.


message 42: by Vera (new)

Vera M. | 446 comments I've been rereading the in death series... Currently on memory in death. Also about to check out the Richard castle writing. Have a book or two in the Kay hooper bishop series I have to catch up on. Also Lisa gardner, very intense writing I'm in the raine/quincy series on the killing hour. I haven't started any Nora Roberts books as I read one in the past and didnt like it but was thinking of trying again soon since I do thoroughly enjoy her writing as JD Robb.


message 43: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 14969 comments Mod
Lisa Gardner does write a good thriller. What Nora Book did you happen to read? There's quite a difference between her really early titles and the books she's written since the mid '90s.


message 44: by Vera (new)

Vera M. | 446 comments Yes lisa gardner makes me wanna lock all my windows and doors before I read and jump at shadows lol. I believe the Nora Roberts I read was an earlier book, I can't remember the title. It was quite a long time ago that I read it.


message 45: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 14969 comments Mod
I started with Robb and then checked out a few titles that my reading friends recommended and fell in love with them. I wouldn't write her off without trying a few as she really knows how to write stories about men.


message 46: by Drz (new)

Drz | 17 comments If you like the in death books and wanted to read stone Nora Roberts, you should try some of the ones with a crime or murder storyline like Witness, Northern Lights, Montana Sky, Black Hills or the combination robe with Robb Remember When. Leve know what you think.


message 47: by Vera (new)

Vera M. | 446 comments Some Nora will definitely be on my reading list for 2013... I will look into a few. I do like the crime/mystery aspects along with the romance as jd Robb... I also tend to like book series rather than stand alones usually. It's interesting to see the tie ins within a series of books and how the characters develop over time.


message 48: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 14969 comments Mod
You might like her Three Sisters Island trilogy, one of my favorites, that has a bit of suspense in the first book. It's a lovely series. My most favorite though are The Gallaghers of Ardmore, set in Ireland, and the Chesapeake Bay Saga, which centers around three brothers in Maryland. These represent some of her finest work.


message 49: by Ame (new)

Ame | 18 comments 2012 has been a year of fantastic discoveries.... I got a Kindle in March and since then I've discovered Kristen Ashley's books and am now a total fangirl. I also discovered Black Dagger Brotherhood and love that also. Then finally I gave the In Death series a chance.... I'd known about them for years but somehow never picked them up to read.... so glad I did that now!!


message 50: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 14969 comments Mod
You're right, Ame, this has been a great reading year for you. I discovered Ashley this year, too, and BDB last year.
