Gothic Tastes discussion

What are you reading? Something Gothic, suitably dark? Come on, share...

Oooh I love these threads!!! :D

I'm reading two books currently on my Kindle: The Taint: Sorrow's Child by Georgina Anne Taylor, and Dance of the Goblins by Jaq D. Hawkins :D

Yay!

Now, I'm not reading this yet, but I'm going to make room for it on my to-read shelf as it looks great. I think it's more YA, paranormal/mythic, than Gothic, but hey, I just have to share it:
Everneath

The cover is exquisite too!

Lovely!!! :D

Added to my amazon wish-list! :)

And after these two books, I think its time I read my friends book and sequel to it again :D

Which books are they, Sherri?

Well the sequel hasn't been published yet, lol, I've got a copy cuz I'm a main editor. But the first is Wolves Among Sheep by Melanie Fair, not a gothic book but a vampird and werewolf one :)

Wolves Among Sheep Melanie Fair

Looks good! Thought I'd add it here :)

I am doing a little dance for joy at the moment, Sherri, as I noticed that you have finished reading Sorrow's Child, and that you enjoyed it! I am thrilled! :D:D Gina.

Lol, thanks! It really is a wonderful book :)

I did! I didn't realize I was on the last page of it cuz it was on my kindle but I was sad when it ended.... And I can honestly say that Ge-lad had it easy xD should've had more happen xD

So HAPPY. I totally agree, it was a joy to write that ending!! He resurfaces in the series of course. :D

Hmmm, I so knew that wasn't the last of him -_- lol oh well :D

:D;D

I've just started , not Gothic at all lol

Perfectly fine if it's not Gothic. :) Should rename the topic. I'm not reading anything Gothic at the moment either.

I'm finishing the last few pages of: The Men Who Stare at Goats, then back to Wonder Tales: Six French Stories of Enchantment. Then I have about ten books on my asap list (some waiting on my kindle, a few at the library).

I'm writing :D hehehe

Go Lynxie! :D

I'm reading The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible. It should be interesting at the least, despite my not being Christian.

Well ai just finished reading Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake, and the next book on my list is My Blood Approves by Amanda Hocking. I know the Anna book was dark but I have no idea if Hocking's M.B.A. is, we shall find out :)

Currently reading Quest - It's ok. So far it's sitting at a 3 star review... but the ending might change that :)

Very jealous about ADIB! :)

Ooh... My Blood Approves was very good :D Happy reading Sherri :)

Hey guys I'm offering a free download today. Can I post it to this thread? Thank you! Hey Georgina! #waving madly :)

Well then I shall start it toniggt! :D

tonight**

Sure Natalie, definitely share! But probably best in the 'Tell Us Something' thread. I know this short story people. Read and loved. Seek it out. :) Gina

I shall! If I can....

Georgina, I found it fascinating. I think it's definitely worth the read :)

I just got my copy of Something Red in the mail today, can't wait.

Just found it at my local library, Jillyn! Thanks. :)


I'm reading: Angelfall. Very enjoyable.

I hope you liked it, Georgina. I found it strangely captivating.

I'm starting Tell The Wolves I'm Home: A Novel

I loved Angelfall. Very nicely done, definitely want to read the next book as soon as it's out! Since then I've read: The Hunger Games, which was great, 5.5 stars. Now I'm reading (almost finished): Catching Fire which is not as good. I'm thinking 3 stars (I liked it).

After Catching Fire, I'm going to read: Like Water for Chocolate and The Invention of Hugo Cabret, which Ronyell recommended to me, and has finally come in at the library.

Not Mockingjay Gina?

It will have to come after Like Water for Chocolate and Hugo, as they are library books. It's taken a couple of months to get Hugo in. I have to read them both in the next few weeks, then I'll go on to Mockingjay. Trying to write too.

My attempt at ignoring the dishes, housework and farm duties isn't working either. I've also found heaps of great books in the last few days that I want to read. Good thing we don't get TV. Movies are rare too. Wouldn't have time to fit anything else in anyway. :) Although craving to get stuck into a new art project too. I need some free, quiet time. Hah!

Hahaha!

I just got a message from author Charlotte Abel asking if I'd like to do a read 2 review for her book Enchantment, Channie #1!!! I'm so stoked!

Enchantment Fantastic, Sherri!

Haha thanks for linking it! And it is! First time an author has actually contacted me for a r2r! Besides you lol

And Jaq too! lol

I've just begun reading

I am currently reading I'm liking this one better than the first in the series. It deals with teenage witches and fairies. It's by Shauna Granger, no relation to Hermione, I think.

I just finished , & now I'm reading

& now I'm on

I'm reading this:


And this:


And this:


And also this:


Whew!

Read these two yesterday:Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Reading this one today:Them: Adventures with Extremists (The upside of being sick in bed).

I AM SO JEALOUS. I've been wanting to read Miss Peregrine forEVER. How was it?

Good, but slightly unsatisfying. I gave it 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. The second half passes in a bit of a rush. I wanted to know more about the characters and the hollowgast (think I've spelt that right). Definitely worth reading though!

And: We Have Always Lived in the Castle is such a WONDERFUL gothic novel. Just loved it!

I just finished . I recommend it for writers, it's a nice little guide to have

Thanks, Jillyn! Just bought a copy for my kindle. Looks great! :D
