I've just finished a re-read on the O'Hurleys!

Last night I finished reading and I really enjoyed the novel. I went straight into book 2.

I finished reading by S.E. Hinton last night. This was my first time reading The Outsiders. I never managed to get around to reading it as a teenager but I've heard so many people say it is one of their favourite books so I thought it was about time that I read it finally. And now that I've finished the book I can't believe I waited so long! The Outsiders is a gripping and compelling read which is full of suspense. It was also extremely heart-breaking and touching at times. The novel is very well-written, considering S.E. Hinton was just seventeen years old when she wrote it. I was amazed with the amount of depth and layers in this book. It really is wonderful. Five stars!

Just finished reading "The Forgotten Garden" by Kate Morton. The Forgotten Garden

I just finished reading Where Angels Rest and Tangled Reins.

I just finished the first three books of the Wallflower series by Lisa Kleypas. I enjoyed the group of female misfits banding together. First book was good but I throughly enjoyed the next two. On my way to read the last one of the series.

How did you like Tangled Reins? Is it worth reading?

I've read Eternity in Death by J.D. Robb.

Not one of my favorites. In fact, this is one of my least fav of the novellas.

Really? I can't say I was thrilled with it,but it was quite good! My feelings,though, are mostly neutral for this one...

I was just so creeped out by that guy from the start.

Yeah, I understand what you are saying, but I think we have read creepier stories and characters from NR, like Divine Evil. Do you remember that one? I mean it was a great book, but that one really creeped me out! Anyways I don't scare easily with vampire or pseudovampire stuff and they don't disgust me either as others...
I guess we are entitled not to like some of NR's writings!

I read a lot of vampire stuff but in the context of this series, it was a little weird. It set my teeth on edge from the start.

Yeah, I see what you mean. She changed the style of the series and of Eve's cases. I guess we can say that luckily it was a short novella and not a book with 300+ pages!

Just finished Missing Daughter, Shattered Family and really enjoyed it. It is a m/m romantic suspense/mystery, the first in a planned series by a new author.

Sorry about late response, Jean...it was a fun read but nothing outstanding. I recommend the audio as the narrator had a great voice.

Finished Reading:


Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor by Lisa Kleypas
This the second book I've read by Lisa Kleypas. I enjoyed the way the author tells a story. I looking forward to the TV- movie based on the book doing this Christmas Season.

The Christmas List by Richard Paul Evans
I really enjoyed this book. It's going on my Holiday Re-Read List.

Just finished Big Sky River by Linda Lael Miller and loved it.

I have finished reading and .

I just finished the Spindle Cove books that are out at the moment. Very entertaining.

Would you put any of these as favorites?

Jonetta wrote: "Would you put any of these as favorites?"

I would put A Week to be Wicked as a favorite. It was entertaining and well developed for the most part. I really enjoyed the characters and their developing relationship.

Thanks, Jean!

I finished All He Ever Desired by Shannon Stacey and really liked it. It's the fifth book in the Kowalski Family series. I also knocked off a novella in the Lucky Harbor series called Under the Mistletoe by Jill Shalvis, which was a sweet but steamy little story.

I finished Crazy Thing Called Love by Molly O'Keefe and LOVED it!

Yesterday I finished The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards

I just finished this novel, The Mad Lord's Daughter. It reminds me of a good old fashion Victorian Gothic novel which may be the author's intent since they also make allusions to Jane Eyre.

Good to hear...I have this book so will need to move it up the list.

I finished and really like this series.

I'm reading

I just finished The Reluctant Countess . This book will be released soon. I think this author shows promise.

I've finished Creation in Death .

I finished

Last night I finished reading Undeniably Yours .

I finished Nowhere to Hide by Nancy Bush. This book is not set up as a series and it should be. There's a connected book, Nowhere to Run that should be read first. It's a bit frustrating when a book is positioned as a standalone and a significant portion of the book keeps referencing events from the first one. I would have had a better opinion of the book otherwise.

I finally had time to finish and loved it, again.

I finished Pleasure Unbound by Larissa Ione. It took awhile for me to get into the story...lots of world building and complicated species...but around the 1/3 mark, it got really interesting and I plan to read the next book.

I've finished reading The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide and Yours to Keep .

I finished reading A Touch of Scandal and also started and finished Sloppy Firsts

I finished the audio version of Cross. The narrators really made the book on this one.

I finished the audiobook Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane, a truly unusual and gripping urban fantasy.

I recently finished The Duchess War by Courtney Milan. It’s set in Victorian England in the midst of the Industrial Revolution. I found all the characters, including the secondary characters, very well-rounded with believable strengths and weaknesses. Highly recommend. The Duchess War

I just finished reading this week:

the first two books in The Company of Angels series by Stephanie Chong


and the Royal Brotherhood series by Sabrina Jeffries



I liked the Company of Angels so far. There is a lot of intrigue and ambiguity between the good guys and bad guys. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I finished Shadow Woman by Linda Howard. It's an intriguing story but not one of her best.

I finished reading Eternal Kiss of Darkness by Jeaniene Frost and LOVED it! I really liked the kickass heroine, Kira.

I've finished Bad Boys Do and Good Girls Don't!

Just finished Lost Girls by Caitlin Rother.
