A Game of Thrones, and loving it.

Awesome, Courtney!

Yea!! another one hooked, Dustin!

Courtney, the first book is just a taste of these dastardly characters. I really hope you enjoy it. I am on #4 right now :)

Awesome Courtney!
I can't wait to start this series!

Awesome, dastardly characters are my favourite! :D I've had this book on my shelf for the better part of a year, but I was putting it off until I'd finished school so that I would have the time and energy for all those characters etc. My husband also has been nagging me incessantly to read it - he's a big fan of the show, and since I've always intended to read the books, I won't let him watch it when I'm around LOL

Also, I love the parts about Jon Snow and the Wall...

good for you! my hubby actually watched the 2nd season on his Ipad next to me while I was reading the 2nd book!! what a louse... he paid dearly for that one. >:(

I, too, am currently reading The Talisman.

Alondra- I want to read those!

Cassie wrote: "Alondra- I want to read those!"

well, by-george, you must hit a UBS and get them!! i highly recommend these books to everyone. i don't think it's fair to pigeon-hole the books under sci-fi, fantasy or what have you... they have a little of everything. I didn't think they would be interesting; especially after attempting and failing a reading of Outlander by Diana Giabaldon; i felt it was a lost cause. I was wrong. The writing had me hooked immediately and i instantly bought 2 more books...

do not be overwhelmed with the amount of characters; believe me, you can't forget them...

(UBS-used book store, known to tap your wallet)

I am just finishing up The Talisman. I love this book!

Thank you Alondra!

you are soooo welcome :D

anytime i can brag on a book, i shall...

Working on The Oath by Frank Peretti. Its a pretty good book actually! Pleasantly surprised.

Good, I'm glad you're enjoying it, Janie.

I have been watching your progress and wondered how you were liking it, Janie. I may need to add it to my ever-increasing TBR... :)

hehehe

It is actually much better than I thought it would be. I tried reading Peretti before 'The Visitation' and could not get into that one. Dekker is far better. But this one is really very good! I am pleased!

i need to try Ted Dekker this year...

I'm reading Little Star by John Ajvide Lindqvist. I'm a huge fan of his! :)

That sounds like a great book Kathy, I've added it to my ever expanding list.:)

Mine keeps expanding, too, Tracy. Just when you think you are making headway on your TBR list, it just gets longer and longer and longer. lol

What, you haven't read Dekker's brilliant work yet, Alondra!?:)

I know... I am such a loser. One of these days soon.. :/

You're not a loser.:)

Just wait until you do give Dekker a go.. you're sure to love his style! May I highly recommend Adam?

Yes, kind sir; you may!! :D

i think i already put it on my list... if not, then i will :D

Alondra wrote: "i need to try Ted Dekker this year..."

I dont think you would be sorry Alondra. Dekker is quite good. I would start with Adam or Thr3e. Both very good!

Janie wrote: "Alondra wrote: "i need to try Ted Dekker this year..."

Thanx, Dustin and Janie; Both are on my list!! :)

Awesome! I have so many more Dekker books to read. And I am looking forward to it. One of his newest, The Sanctuary, I am really excited about but have to read The Priest's Graveyard first.

Janie- I have many more Dekker books to read, as well! We should do a buddy read or something, what do you say?

Would love it Dustin! How about this next month? I only have 3 buddy reads for December. I am really wanting to read "The Priests Graveyard, and The Bonemans Daughter. Also I have House that Frank Peretti joined him on. Also I wanna do a reread on Thr3e! So any of those suit me just fine. Hehe this will be a great read Dustin, ty for asking. :)

The Priest's Graveyard and BoneMan's Daughters are two of my faves. I kept having to sit the latter down to regain my composure because some of the scenes were THAT disturbing, but oddly I found myself cackling at certain parts that may not have been intended to be funny. But then, fictional serial killers do tend to crack me up sometimes.

Thr3e made my head spin so much that it dang near unscrewed from my neck.

You are very welcome, Janie!

I have no idea when I could do it, because I'm really hoping to be a part of the Atlas Shrugged buddy read, and that's going to take awhile to get through. I'd be up for any of the titles you suggested, though, thank YOU! Also, we have a copy of Kiss and I've been dying to read it!

Picking up Bad Moon Rising and Thr3e..all for a little thrills and chills, ladies and gentlemen. :D

I'm reading "Some of My Best Friends Are Black". I just started but I think it will be a most interesting book.

I can see that about Thr3e. It was super crazy! And I loved the twist! I look forward to a lot more books from Dekker!

You just let me know when you are ready to start any of them and then we can get started. No rush! And yea I have not bought Kiss yet, but it will be one I read in the near future.

All right, sounds great! I am really looking forward to doing a buddy read with you, Janie! And you know I can't wait to experience more of Dekker's brilliance!:)

Finished with A Game of Thrones, now I'm reading The Twelve.

Started reading False Memory. One of the characters is named Dustin.

Tartarus and it's already like the one before it (A Hideous Beauty), then it's going to be filled with quirky humor and thought-provoking mentions of the spiritual realms and sciences.

Well which Dustin is it? The crazy or sane one?
I really liked False Memory a lot. I hope you do, too!
