Making Connections discussion

Just completed Intricate Deceptions. Good story, a bit too much romance though.

Currency reading Barren Waters, a really good post-apocalyptic story.

Listening to The Good Samaritan, a nice psychological thriller.

There are two books I'm currently reading:

and

Just finished Barren Waters, a good father/daughter, cross country post-apocalyptic story.

Currently reading Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo".

Currently listening to The Good Samaritan, a really twisted thriller.

Finished listening to The Good Samaritan... dark, twisted thriller with a great "bad gal" character.

Reading Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo"... disappointed so far.

Started listening to The China Pandemic.

Just starting The Silent Sister. So far so good!

Finished listening to The China Pandemic. Excellent first installment to a post apocalyptic series.

My next listen is Followed by Frost, a fantasy novel that I think may have too much romance for my taste. Hope I'm wrong about that.

Currently reading Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo" by Zora Neale Hurston. Sad story of theife of a man who was brought to America on the last slave ship.

I'm currently reading Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine. So far, it was the opposite of what I was expecting. Still enjoyable, but eh...

Lost in the Beehive

Half way through. Though not remarkable, so far, the way the author uses daily events in her young daughter's life as a backdrop and to also highlight some concepts, is interesting.

Finished reading Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo", and was disappointed.

Finished listening to Followed by Frost, and was pleasantly surprised.

Next read will be H7n9 Penitence.

Currently reading The Sisters of Mederos after finishing The Plastic Magician.

Currently reading this

Currently reading Uprooted by Naomi Novak for my workplace bookclub!

Reading both Rebel Seoul by Axie Oh and Heirs of Power by Kay Macleod. I really need to finish them soon!

Working slowly through

It's been a fast read so far.

Just finished Going Gone by Abraham Lopez. A brilliant read - recommend to all !

Started Rich Dad Poor Dad. Good start of a good book

About a third through "Lust & Wonder" by Augusten Burroughs. My second book by him. Good book. The pages fly by.

I'm reading Becoming. I'm impressed with Michelle Obama's writing.

Been stuck on Dracula since October..lol I don't know whether I'm not as good a reader as I thought or Dracula is just very time consuming.

Hello everyone its nice to be with you , am new here
am reading How to get from where you are to where you want to be by jack canfield
It's really great so far

I read a lot. The books I liked the best so far in February are the Height by Janet Evanovich/Lee Goldberg, The Bone Garden by Tess Garritsen and Mean Streak by Sandra Brown,

I am glad to meet you all. I'm a full-time mystery/thriller writer.

Just finished The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. 4 stars from me.

Devil's Bargain
Robin James

Just finished Ben Elton's new novel, Identity Crisis. I'd give it four stars for tackling the current situation in which we find ourselves, though there are at least four of his novels I prefer to this one,

I'm reading

I just finished reading Harold Robbins’s Heat of Passion for the third time. I highly recommend it. You can find it on EBay for next to nothing. I consider Robbins the father of modern Erotic Romances if not the Godfather. I try to write like him, but I fear I don’t quiet make it.

So far, currently reading Dragon Speaker by Elana A. Mugdan and Sylvie Asleton and the Coven of Glass by James T. Callum.

Hi. Here's something funny you might like that I recently finished. :-)

Just starting

I am listening to and both are a bit confusing at times but for different reasons. I'm looking forward to finishing these two books through so that I can start to really put everything together. :)

The long wait begins. :D

I'm still on book 3. Although I'd like to read it I don't want to have to wait too long for the next book once I'm all caught up.

Please let me know how you'd rate it as compared to the other books in the series, though.

I'm reading "The Gambler" about Kirk Kerkorian, a true rags to riches story.

Just by the name, it seems like an interesting read.

So another book by Skye Warren came up in me recs on my kindle called Beauty and the Professor I decided to give it a try.

I just finished it. Well worth reading.

Reading Vox at the moment. Can't believe who quickly and easily she made a seemingly far fetched concept, feel urgent and real. Excellent book so far. Thoroughly recommended.

The Tales of Talker Knock by Steve Carr A magical collection of short stories.

Orbs A Sci-Fi dystopia (actually, I am only the first 30 pages in and am enjoying the action and pacing).

I reading over own book: Not Your Abuelita's Folktales: a collection of magical realism short stories for young adults.

Just finished "Knight Protector" by Lindsay Buroker.

Fun romance tale, nice action, happy ending.

I just got done readingand posting a review for the ARC

I recently read Sophie Kinsella's latest publication: I Owe You One and was pleasantly surprised. 

I say this because I was a big fan of Sophie Kinsella at one time. The first five or six books of her Shopaholic series and her standalones:
—Twenties Girl
—The Undomestic Goddess
—Can You Keep a Secret? 
. . . are among my favourite romantic comedies. (Saving I've Got Your Number for later to read as a special treat. My friend assures me it's as good as the books I mentioned above :-)

But then her writing just seemed to have lost its spark. The later books of her Shopaholic series didn't appeal much, and her standalone: Wedding Night actually felt like it was written by someone else! I simply stopped reading her books altogether. 

I'm glad I picked up I Owe You One, though. It wasn't a five-star read, but I could see some of her original spark in the book. Looks like I'm going to get my favourite romcom author back after all :-)

Why read fiction? Because one life is not enough. Elizabeth Gilbert’s new novel, CITY OF GIRLS, offers that wonderful amalgam of experiences and wisdom that we hope for. Set in New York City from 1940 to 2004, it takes us inside the world of the theater and the heart ❤️ of a sexy, questing woman. Brava! 🙌

Currently reading Serving Him by Rachel Kramer Bussell

FINE FORGOTTEN WRITERS (No. 6 in a series). A toast 🍷to Pamela Frankau (1908-1967) 🙌 British 🇬🇧 novelist attuned to the interior lives of women and the music 🎶 of good strong prose. A Wreath for the Enemy is my favorite—but don’t miss The Winged Horse and the autobiographical (and fascinating) Pen to Paper.

I'm reading Unexpected, a syfy romance right now. Different for me considering it's usually an MC romance.

The Shining

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

I'm reading Dragon's Burn by Brooke Warren. It's a MC contemporary RH romance. I'm really enjoying the two main characters so far.

I'm currently on the 3rd book in The Endarian Prophecy series. I think it's going to end up on my list of favorite high fantasy series of all time. (Here's a link to the first book: Mark of Fire)

Finished reading Seveneves. Excellent, excellent, excellent.

Now reading Yesterday's Gone: Season Five and WIPE - Part 5. Listening to Astrophysics for People in a Hurry.
