The Complete Idiots Guide to the Ultimate Reading List discussion

I just finished Bite Marks by Jennifer Rardin. This is the 6th book in the Jaz Parks series. Whats not to love about Jaz Parks? She kicks demon ass, hangs out with a hot vampire and has cooler weapons then James Bond.

The Christmas Secret by Donna VanLiere

The Viking Funeral by Stephen J. Cannell

I just finished "On Mystic Lake" by Kristin Hannah. It is the first time I have read her and while she is a little predictable - I loved her description of Washington State and of Malibu - felt like I was there

I just finished The Likeness: A Novel by Tana French. She is amazing and can tell a tale that just sucks me in. I always know a book is good if I dream about it!! ;) She makes it that real to me.
It was her 2nd book, her first was The Woods. I loved that one too!

I just finished Dead Until Dark and The Welsh Girl.

I just finished The Historian and it took me forever!

It took me forever to read also

I just finished Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. It is not the kind of books I usually read but I really liked it.

I just finished gallant match by J Blake it is a series. I thought it was ok the end was really good. The one before this guarded heart was better.

I just finished The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. I raced through it having to find out the end as quickly as possible. It was good.

Just finished up Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reichl.

I finished up the end of a couple of books that only had a few chapters left(Lavender Morning and Holes. I now am free to read The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran. Already I am feeling the heat from the desert, hearing the court gossip and choosing sides. Hopefully reclining on a couch with my cats around me. LOL

I bought The Heretic Queen recently. Let me know how you like it! I thought the cover was so pretty.

i also just finished the devilish pleasures of a duke by J Hunter which was great. i enjoyed it so much.

I just finished Everything Changes by Jonathan Tropper. It was great. I enjoy his writing very much.

I'm now on a Neil Gaiman kick because I got a bunch of his books for Christmas. Just finished Neverwhere!

About 1/2 way through... liking it --- the heat of the desert, the cruelty of the wives viaing for power, the structure of the world of ancient Egypt..

Jackie, Enjoyed The Heretic Queen To me the author makes you feel the heat of the desert and all the other sensations while you are reading. I think also they are fast reads..... I did finish it and am now onto reading The Paris Vendetta

I finished Eragon and really loved this book!. I have started Eldest but I am also reading The Almost Moon by Alice Seibold. At this point I am just trying to finish The Almost Moon becuase I started it and refuse to not finish a book. I will warn everyone else to NEVER pick this book up to read! It is many shades of AWFUL!

Thanks for the update Marti! I'm so excited to start reading it. I bought The Heretic Queen and Nefertiti for a historical fiction challenge I'm doing here.

Read Nefertiti also and enjoyed it. If you like them check out Cleopatra's Daughter also. Really enjoyed that one also.
