Over the weekend I purchased Tim Robbins audio version of fahrenheit 451 and it has been probably decades since I last read it. That book is amazingly awesome. I still love it.The thing I love about this book is while there is not a ton of character development nor second guessing what the author is saying. It is all there, people have settled for this idea of mediocrity and we don't need new ideas or to have knowledge to find happiness just watch tv and talk about tv and not so much about anything else and you will be happy.
After re-reading this classic I am just grateful I live in a world where I can read what I want and I have interesting people to talk to about what I read regardless of if it is a steamy romance or hard hitting political science or sociology.
The last book of 2014 that I completed was
. I also read and finished
, though that overlapped 2014 and 2015. Now I'm reading a science fiction book,
.
I finished my 2014 goal with
and I've also finished
which I really really enjoyed. It surprised me how much. Finished
and
. I'm now reading
and

Hi! I´m reading Mourn Not Your Dead, by Deborah Crombie. Last year I read all the novels by Elizabeth George, the series about Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers.
was dull and it was definitely not the book to kick the year off. Especially while trying to escape a reading funk. Just started up
and it's really fun!

I love it too! :)
Finished
which was really cute glad to see Sharon Ashwood back.I also finished
whcih was good and
it is PNR in the magic parts but mostly it is a retelling of the King Thrushbeard fairy tale, she did an awesome job really different from her normal PNR stuff.
Just finished
and thought it was really good. I know its been out for a while but the pb has just been published *Yay* so I finally got to read it.

Kudos to you for your restraint! And I am glad you liked it.
LOL. Yeah, not like I was hurting for books. I looked the other day and my tbr was over 3800, with only 590 being wishlist, so I own the rest.So distraction was easy to come by.
Finished
and
Currently listening to
which is not all that good and
which has gotten a little depressing I feel so bad for him and last but not least reading
which is really good so far!
Dawn, I really enjoyed Urban Shaman, well the whole series really. Likeable heroine and secondary characters made for a solid series that deserves more attention.I've been on a bit of a historical fiction kick lately having read
and currently reading
- though I'm starting to get annoyed by the main character. My mind is starting to wander, thinking about what I can read next.
I am currently reading
, in
. I bought the collection when it was on sale. It has been so long since I read the early Dark-Hunter books I thought I should refresh my memory before (re-)reading the BOM,
I know I'm sinking fast with literature overload, and run the risk of completely twisting up the different storylines, but for the last few days I've been reading -
, a Manga that I had started reading online years ago. Our local library has finally invested in the complete series, so yay, nostalgia much!
, or in my case, a re-read.
, a delightful tale between a Mermaid and an Alaskan crab boatman. At first I thought it was YA-ish. But the more I get into it, the faster I'm learning that it may be better suited for a mature group or readers. I dunno.
I haven't posted here in ages. Just finished up
Trying to do two of these a month to get caught up. It's not really working though. (I keep getting caught up with murder mysteries.) Enjoyed this installement. Garreth was yummy and the girl was one of my favorite heroines in the series so far.Currently listening to
and it's super good. About a guy who dies and comes back and it's haunted by his evil, dead sister's ghost. Super creepy. Good audio.
Lately i've found ive been liking this dystopian ganra of books I've been reading
and about half way through. I've seen the movie and i have to say it is sooo different from the movie it's like a totally different story! :)
I'm reading
, and though I'm not far into it, I thought I'd get a little hint of romance by now. IS this a PNR series, or UF with romance? I could have sworn I'd seen mention of Meg being involved with someone, but I can't find it now. I like the book either way, though it took me a few chapters to get into it.

Angie wrote: "I'm reading

I could have sworn I'd ..."I tried starting this and I'm having trouble getting into it. Not for any lack of romance but just not feeling any of the characters yet. It's still very early going but I'm feeling my attention starting to wane.
Lauren, I think I've gotten a little glimpse of someone having some feelings they aren't quite realizing are romantic, because romance isn't something they've experienced. Veronica, I was the same way, having a hard time feeling the characters out. I'm still not sure where a couple people fit in to the world, and a new wolf introduced every couple chapters is just confusing, but it's gotten better with most of the main characters. At least for me.
I absolutely loved the book and it was one of my favorites of 2014. Rather than going on and on, here's the link to my review where anyone who wants to read about me going on and on can, lol!

My head is trying to argue with the weather so my day of reading may be shot. I'm about to try to sweet talk it into calming down, with the help of some yummy Excedrin! ;-)
I won't say anything spoiler-ish, since Veronica is hopefully still reading Written in Red, or maybe she passed me up and finished it already. But I ended up LOVING it!! I was white knuckling my kindle throughout the last quarter of the book I think! And I must say, I'm going to be much nicer to our horses lol!! I got an ARC of
, and then a book in a favorite wolf shifter/ motorcycle club series came out today, so I'll be reading
after Blood Games. THEN ill be reading
. Not long after that, the new one from a the Others will be out, but I may wait a while on it, for the price to come down. I'm cheap!!

Hopefully I'll have a similar experience.
I totally got mixed up on which Chicagoland book in reading!! It's actually
, I got the ARC from netgalley, but it comes out Tuesday.
Sandra wrote: "Reading the latest Kitty Norville book
It's all about Cormac."I liked that about this one, you really learned a lot about him.
Fyi, for any Chicagoland Vampire series fans, Dark Debt was AWESOME!! Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... (hopefully I'm smart enough to copy and paste a link anyway). Of course, I'm completely biased since it's my favorite series and I'm completely in love with Ethan! Lol!Now I'm reading
, the forth in a pretty great series.
