Donna Galanti (donnagalanti) | 29 comments Ooh, just finished (in one day!) The Fault in The Stars by John Green. I could not put it down. The main character's voice is amazing. Here is my review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

And now nearly done with Lottery, an easy but heart felt read about a young man who is 'slow' and wins the lottery and how that affects mostly those around him.

message 662: by The Pirate Ghost (last edited Feb 26, 2013 04:21AM) (new)

The Pirate Ghost (Formerly known as the Curmudgeon) (pirateghost) I just finished Robert Crais's The Monkey's Raincoat on audio book. It was a good read, if a bit dated. (You may enjoy it more if you were reasonably adult in the early 1980s).

Classic Noir(ish) Gum-shoe private Detective story.

I just started Covert Dreams by A/A A Member Author Mike Meyer. So far it's a good psyhco-thriller. I'm not sure what, but....sumptin's goin' on there. Well written and fun-scary read (scary in a "what if something like this happened to me" way. So far, no paranormal activity...unless you include Covert Dreams?)

Covert Dreams by Mike Meyer

message 665: by Em (new)

Em Some great books I have read recently are:


Arcadia by Lauren Groff Arcadia
Last month's book club book -- about a boy growing up in a commune. The writing is beautiful.

A Pledge of Silence by Flora J. Solomon A Pledge of Silence
Next month's book club book -- about the women nurses who were stationed in the Philippines during WWII. It is excellent. The history is very interesting. The author did a lot of research.

The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh The Language of Flowers
Currently reading, just for fun. It is totally different than what I thought it would be about (the main character is a girl in foster care) but I am really enjoying it.


message 666: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Has just finished Bad Blood: A Vampire Thriller - J.R. Rain Was a great book by 3 different authors who I have never read before. Will definitely keep an eye out for the next in the series if they do any more. Now I am going to read Devil's Waltz - Jonathan Kellerman which I need to read to get the series read to catch up with the publishers lol.


message 667: by Brendan (new)

Brendan Carroll (brendancarroll) | 5 comments Just finished up one of those self-help books about social media. I thought I needed all the help I could get, but it turns out I already knew everything in it. LOL So now, I'm looking for something else to read. Thinking of buying one about 2013 market trends. Yippee, boring stuff.

Right now I'm reading Messengers of the Wind: Native American Women Tell Their Life Stories by Jane Katz which is really great so far! I love learning about my heritage.My grandfather is always telling me I remind him a lot of his mother when she was young and she was part Native American.
I'm also reading Fairy Metal Thunder by J. L. Bryan and starting Goddess on the Run by Marne Ann Kirk!


message 674: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) I've finished Falling - Cecilia Gray. I loved the characters that are like gods. How 1 person fell in love with an immortal (that she never knew), finding out her sister is a witch. Loved the Paranormal Romance style of it as well. I am listening to Great Expectations - Charles Dickens (my audio for the month) and reading Men at Work: Quick Read - Mike Gayle (A Quick Read) that hubby didn't fancy reading.


message 675: by Soo (new)

message 678: by Soo (new)

Soo (silverlyn) | 28 comments Finished Sealed with a Curse! =) It's a cool take on vampires & werewolves. The judge is still out on magic but I really enjoyed it. Good mix of everyday & not so everyday heroes, etc.

I'm resisting peer pressure on Frost Burned and looking to read the following:

Emma Meade (emmameade) | 7 comments Read So Over You by Gwen Hayes

Light reading (mostly) and lots of fun.


message 690: by Victoria (new)

Victoria I am currently reading Laura Meets Jeffrey Both Sides of an Erotic Memoir by Jeffrey Michelson . Pretty interesting book - fun to see how different and laid back things were in the days before AIDS and the really nasty sex bugs that aren't so easily cured. As open minded as I like to think I am, some of the stuff in the book, like the anonymous sex stuff makes me shiver just a bit. Still, though, I am enjoying it.


message 691: by [deleted user] (new)

Just finished Until You Until You by Jennifer McNare Free book for review. Nicholas falls for Ashleigh like a ton of bricks to the point he is jealous beyond belief. Where love is concerned in this book it has all the ups and downs of real life. A must read.

Just started Two Weeks in Costa Rica Two Weeks in Costa Rica by Matthew Houde .


message 692: by Samantha (new)

Samantha Mullins (hixxup79) | 1 comments Just finished Twice Tempted (Night Prince, #2) by Jeaniene Frost LOVED IT! And now i'm reading Iron's Prophecy (The Iron Fey, #4.5) by Julie Kagawa


message 693: by [deleted user] (new)

Just finished The Obituary Rule The Obituary Rule by Sandra Murphy Free book for review. A book about not looking for love but finding it. I smiled and laughed through the conversation between two friends talking about the rule. I wish it had been longer. A good read.

Just started The Third Man The Third Man by Malachi King .


message 694: by [deleted user] (new)

Just finished The Third Man The Third Man by Malachi King . Free book for review. An adventure that ended with a third man that was a spirit that led them to safety. I felt for the two boys that went through so much on their adventure. A must read.

Just started The Marauding Walls of Doom The Marauding Walls of Doom by Bert Paul .


message 695: by [deleted user] (new)

Just finished The Marauding Walls of Doom The Marauding Walls of Doom by Bert Paul Free Book for Review. The book is not funny. The story goes on and on about people having their cars hit by the wall. Then there is all of them getting a rental. All in all it is tedious.

Just started The Reaper Within The Reaper Within by Stephanie Jackson .


message 696: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) I've finished The Morganville Vampires Book Four: Feast of Fools - Rachel Caine. Now I am going to read The Morganville Vampires Book Five: Lord of Misrule - Rachel Caine.


message 697: by [deleted user] (new)

Just finished The Reaper Within The Reaper Within by Stephanie Jackson Free book for review. The characters and story line is believable and is a page turner from beginning to end. This book is certainly a must read.

Just started Darkness on a Pale Blue Stone Darkness on a Pale Blue Stone by D.T. Peterson .


message 698: by Angel (new)

Angel Lepire | 13 comments I'm partly through Raised by Hand, Lifted by the Tides a Southern Child's Memoir by Willett Thomas ,which is a very good book. I did also start Exit Strategy by L.F. Falconer for an April read-in I'm doing in another group, and it is awesome! Both very well written, well edited and engaging. I recommend either, or both!


message 699: by [deleted user] (new)

Just finished Darkness on a Pale Blue Stone Darkness on a Pale Blue Stone by D.T. Peterson Free book for review. An interesting concept on what the future holds for the human race. As well as future races so to speak. A must read.
