hey peeps,
Recently I've been reading JR Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood.
Very cool take on vamps, and also the guys are drop dead gorgeous. Its fast pace and easy to read.

Yay, RuneFirestar, welcome to the reading journal fun! I love the title of your book but alas I am not adding more to my TBR pile just now.

Hey Rune! I've only just started by reading journal, too.
I look forward to sharing your reading experiences over the coming weeks and months :-)

Weird. I was just wondering today how you've been and when we would see you again, and here you are! I too look forward to hearing about your reads. :)

Just finished reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood all seven books.
They are amazing. It will make you laugh and cry. You really get to care for the characters even when they are acting like jerks. Loved every second of it.

Welcome! I'm a drive-by reader of every GDers reading thread but mostly don't comment. Just know I'll be a lurker, at least!

Next up is The Blood Ties series by Jennifer Armintrout . Will let you know how I get on :)
8RuneFirestar
Lol turns out I've already read them I just didn't realize it until I opened the first book.
So now to find something else to read :P

Right I have a choice to make. I can either read Northlight that I got from the Early review for last month or I can can start The Blue Blood series by Mellisa De La Cruz. Tough call.

>6 majkia: Same here. I starred most of the GD threads, but haven't commented on most of them, including yours and this one. I only comment when there is something extremely interesting or unusual, or when my username suddenly appears.
11RuneFirestar
I've decided to go with the Blue Blood books :)
The main character's name is Schuyler. I am not sure how to pronounce it so I am reading it in my head as Shyler as the character is a girl.
Is that even close? Any thoughts?

#11 Is she Dutch or American? If the former then (bowing to superior knowledge of Dragoneers in the Netherlands), you're intelligible but accented -- the -ch- sounds the same as in Scots loch, but most people I know would tend to swallow that sound or turn it into a -k-. If American, AFAIK you're spot on.
13bluesalamanders
I'd pronounce it Shyler, too.
14RuneFirestar
11- she's american :)

Not sure where I got the info, but I was told it was an old-fashioned take on the name Skylar. :O)

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
SO much aggro! First I lose my phone. Then when I go to try and get a new one this time on contract I get rejected.
Finally, Katie is on spring break for the next two weeks. She was out Monday, Tuesday and yesterday. Today is the first day I have not taken her out or gone somewhere with her and she is acting like we haven't done anything at all.
To top it off Vincent is fussy and loud. Every time I turn around one or the other or both are screaming about something.
I'm at the end of the rope.

Now have to the windup girl by Palo Bacigalupi. Its for my reading group and I have to tell you I have only read one chapter and its wearing thin already. - think its going to be yet another slog fest. *sigh*
On the other hand have started The Redwall books with katie and she is really enjoying them ;)

I was listening to the audiobook and I...stopped at some point? I lost my place and just never bothered to find it again. Also, there is a lot of stuff in it that is exactly why I often prefer YA books over Adult - graphic violence, rape, etc.
36RuneFirestar
maybe i might be able to listen to it
37RuneFirestar
tired, run down and just ready to jack it all in and call it a day. Vincent screams and keeps me awake at nights, if i give him a night light he turns it off and keeps screaming. Katie has stopped listening and pouts and cries at the least little provocation and to top things off andy just doesn't want to know.
the holidays are coming, he's worrying about money and how much we don't have.
I feel like slitting my wrists.

Oh honey, I'm sorry. I wish I lived where I could come and watch your kids for a day while you get out of the house. Is there anyone near you who could do that for you? It sounds like you need help now! Please don't go it alone, even if you need to call a hotline, OK? You are precious and wonderful and creative.
39bluesalamanders
Rune, you know we love you! Call, what is it, the Samaritans? if you need to, or like MrsLee says, find a friend to come help. I'm sure you have local friends who care about you as much as we do.
And kick Andy's butt and make him help you! The holidays are about family, after all.

I liked the first Septimus Heape book, but the way the characters behaved at the start of the second book annoyed me too much to keep going. There were a lot of good things in the worldbuilding though, and I recommended them to my friends with children.
47RuneFirestar
I have read them all now except for the latest one Which I am going to be picking up tomorrow. I have to know what happens!
48RuneFirestar
didn't enjoy poison study, started reading it because it was picked for Felicia day's book group and I have to say its not one of the groups better picks. I had a hard time getting into the book and then an even harder time caring about the characters.

Right have just finished Veronica Roth's Divergent. Its a fast read and I liked the idea of it very much.
I liked the strong female lead and how there was a romance later but it was one based on care and respect of one another rather than her just falling over the guy for no reason.
I can't wait to see what the next book is like

Good luck on getting to 150, Rune.
I keep telling myself to finish one series before starting another, so I've managed to keep the series down to under 20(ish). But there are so many I want to read and don't have time for, I get a little anxious about it sometimes. Silly, I know. Divergent is one of those series I've been meaning to fit in somehow.

I also like the Kate Daniels books, but one of my pet peeves about them is the titles. I can never remember which book is which!
84majkia
I've been reluctant to read the Kate Daniels because I'm allergic to the romance genre. A swear it gives me hives just thinking about it.
How romancy are these? I mean, I have nothing against a bit of sex etc, but I cannot stand how the women in the romance genre all become simpering idiots the moment the guy walks on stage.

85pwaites
83> I don't really read books in the romance genera, so I don't know where the series falls exactly. But I wouldn't call Kate or any of the other female characters simpering idiots.
What I really like about them is the mystery plots and mythological elements. The world building's very interesting and another of my favorite elements. Also, the roughly equal gender ratios is very nice.
This being said, the first book in the series is the worst. Not because of romance elements but because it has less world-building and mythology than the later books. You could try starting with Gunmetal Magic, a companion book which follows Andrea, a woman whose's half hyena.

89. Murder Unprompted by Simon Brett
160RuneFirestar
MrsLee,
I'm not sure how I felt about it. I finished and was left feeling drained. I didn't like the fact that there were children that had caught/been infected by this thing. I felt that the fact that he both lost his daughter and then had to deal with killing infected children was a bit much and it disturbed me greatly. I doubt I will ever watch the movie.
I think if I had been reading during the day I might have been able to over come the emotional train wreck. But I stupidly read late at night and ended up checking on my kids several times while reading. I even woke up my other half to make sure he was okay.. you can guess how that went down. lol
over all not my favorite read ever.

>160 RuneFirestar: Yeah, that doesn't sound like I would like it either. I may pass it along unread. I don't think the movie showed him having to kill infected children, although, it seems reasonable to the story.

163hfglen
>162 RuneFirestar: That almost sounds like a Sunset / Good Housekeeping offering (from Discworld, maybe). What's it really about?
164RuneFirestar
@hfglen,
When Nina Linden is hired to landscape a private island off the New England coast, she sees it as her chance to rebuild her failing business after being cheated by her unscrupulous ex. She never expects that her new client, software mogul Deacon Whitney, would see more in her than just a talented gardener. Deacon has paid top dollar to the crews he’s hired to renovate the desolate Whitney estate—he had to, because the bumps, thumps, and unexplained sightings of ghostly figures in nineteenth-century dress are driving workers away faster than he can say “Boo.”
But Nina shows no signs of being scared away, even as she experiences some unnerving apparitions herself. And as the two of them work closely together to restore the mansion’s faded glory, Deacon realizes that he’s found someone who doesn’t seem to like his fortune more than himself—while Nina may have finally found the one man she can trust with her bruised and battered heart.
But something on the island doesn’t believe in true love…and if Nina and Deacon can’t figure out how to put these angry spirits to rest, their own love doesn’t stand a ghost of a chance.

>169 RuneFirestar:, 174, 175 How were Moth in the Mirror and Unhinged - I haven't been able to track down copies of either (other than at impractical expense) but was lucky enough to find an audio copy of Splintered which I really enjoyed. Seeing you mention them has reminded me that I wanted to try and find them, so it may be time for another visit to the library to ask again if they plan on getting them.

I really loved them both . I read Moth in the mirror in a day and half and the other in a day they flowed so beautifully. I can't say enough good things about them.
