Action/Adventure Aficionados discussion

I'll have to get back to you on that, since I haven't met Seichan. I'm sure they'd fight over you, Hugh! :)

Well Hugh, it would be quite the smack down. In the end, though, I'd say that Seichan would win. Fox is pretty bad ass in her own right, but she's no assassin.

Just saying.

Wow, and visions of day dream fantasies formed in their heads...

LOL...exactly! Hugh

I can see why so many people want to kill Harvath....well at least hurt him so badly...he can be such a smart-a%$. I am about 1/2 through Path of the Assassin. I myself would like to at times slap him or hug him.

Just started Ice Station. I'm only a couple of chapters in, but so far it is reminding me a lot of Ice Hunt

That's not a bad thing... I'll bring my thermal reading glasses!

No it's not, considering Ice Hunt is one of my favorites by James Rollins. Of course I have only begun, so the story still has plenty of time to develop it's own "uniqueness"

Lisa, I hope enjoy Ice Station. It's like a non-stop action movie. Some of the ways characters die are just wrong!

That makes me want to read the book. I like smart-aleky heroes.

Yeah, and I garuntee you'll want a snow hover craft and a launchable grapling hook by the time your done! (I do, but my wife won't let me have the grappling hook, even if I find one.)

I so want one of those Maghooks!

But she'll let you have the snow hover craft?...Cool!

LOL, who doesn't want a Maghook? Think of the traffic jams we could get out of with those things. Ronco should start selling them right now.

Yeah, maghook trumps hovercraft! Area 7 shows many more excellent applications of this device.

My wife would let me have the hover craft because we don't have that much snow around here. I might actually hurt myself with a maghook.

and heck yeah! Traffic Jams! I was raised reading Spiderman, I know how to use that thing!

Definately the maghook.

I want a maghook too!

Finishing up Declare. WHOOOohooo, what an amazingly good read.

Next book The Pawn (a re-Read for me)

Ok, just found out what the Maghook is...pretty awesome.

Hugh, I understand now why your wife wouldn't let you have one. I think my hubby would love one too. However, he just put a drill through his thumb not too long ago...a Maghook, hmmmm...I don't think so.

I promise I've never drilled a hole in my hand I can neither confirm nor deny I've driven a hole in any other part of my body.

If anyone is interested, I've posted a review for Declare...

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I loved it.

I just started A Discovery of Witches. I'm definitely intrigued.

I've been wanting to read that for a while now...you'll have to let me know how you like it.

I'm moving into the Patrick Bowers Files (second read) and I'm not sure where I'm going next read wise. Probably something that's more "straight up" urban fantasy for a change of pace...

A discovery of witches?... PNR? or UF? or who cares good book?

I'm only about 100 pages in. So far we have witches, vampires and daemons all running around. The main character, Diana, is an American witch who denies her gift. She also happens to be a tenured Professor.

There are beginning to be hints of romance and there is definitely some mystery. I've got this tickle at the back of my brain saying that this book reminds me (favorably so far) of another book I'm fond of, but the name remains elusive.

All in all, so far so good.

Okay, that works. I want to build up my UF portfolio.

Hugh The Curmudgeon wrote: "Okay, that works. I want to build up my UF portfolio."

You just gave me a chuckle. The way you phrased that...so cute.

MAN! I HATE it when I do something cute and I havent got a clue what it is I did!

I guess being naturally cute is a burden I'll just have to bare.

*major eye-rolling here* ;-)

Everyone always hates the beautiful people. (P-{D>

LOL!! Exactly!

Such a burden to bear.

(Heavy Sigh) I know Mike, but, (Sigh again, with full dramatics) I have to soldier on, for all of the beautiful people out there.

Thank goodness I have my high waters on today...gettin kinda deep in here. ;-^ You know I love you beautiful guys..I really do, especially you Hugh. :-)

Keep it coming Hugh. It's been a very long couple of weeks and today just won't end. You always make me laugh- with you not at you. ;)

Ooohh.. the burden... now I have to be funny too!... I should look for that apartment on Mount Olympus... I hear Adonis moved out... something about using Brad Pitt's name then jumping to Orlando Bloom in Troy.. you never can understand the's Greek guys.

choke...cough...ahem....right, right. Try to bare up. Your humility is an example to all of us.

Don't worry, there's no pedestal. I promise.

But if you're serious there were some lovely villas in Como. They'd fit you and your...humility.

I just finished ghost Story, the last book in the Dresden Files. i liked. i was going to write a review, but Mike wrote his first and stole much of what I would have said lol.

Harry is Harry even in his new circumstances. She book is good and the characters are great, but it is a bit circular. Personally, I don't care about the lack of progression in the over all story arc, the characters are worth the read. And Butcher could make the phone book sound interesting.

I wish they would do the series again...and get it right this time.

Splitter

Butcher said (somewhere, I forget where I read it) that the rights revert to him again soon.

I hope you are right. We need Bob the Skull this time and not a genie.

Splitter

Bob the skull is a riot! Going to reading Grave Peril real soon.

Right now I've been more in a romance mood. A girls gotta have a little romance mixed in with A/A once in awhile. : ) Just finished Lothaire and listening to Voyager, which I would also say has plenty of action and adventure in it.

Started The Pawn.

Nothing wrong with a little mixin in...adds some spice. I am currently reading historical romance, but will soon be starting on Stephen Booth's Blind to the Bones.

Yeah, aside from Mouse and the Mister, Bob is my favorite secondary character. Bob is very...basic lol. Also, you will like Bob more as the series progresses.

I was surfing around and my son who's sitting next to me, noticed the cover picture for the group and he now wants the book that's shaped like a gun for his upcoming birthday.

I like that boy.

:)

Yesterday I started by Scott Mariani. This is the second book in the Ben Hope series and I'm really enjoying them.

That sounds good. I added it to my list. Thanks, Janey.
