What is Everybody Reading?

I am hav­ing a dif­fi­cult time find­ing some­thing to read. I’ve started and stopped sev­eral books over the week­end. It seems as if NOTHING is of inter­est to me. Read­ers help me out here — what are you all read­ing? Is it any good? Any­thing you’ve read recently that was a keeper?

Again — thanks for the rec’s guys! I appre­ci­ate it.

Ok I did buy Stiches in Time ebook by Bar­bara Michaels (never read her before and was inter­ested in the story and had about that much in micro­pay funds to get it.

Vanessa — whatcha think of Die For Me? Don’t leave us hang­ing like this! I expect a full review.

Les­ley — I’m sorta down on vam­pires right now unless it’s by some­one I know but I’ll take a look at the books you’ve mentioned.

From my recent reads I’d rec­om­mend Jen­nifer Rardin’s Jaz and Vayl series if you’re look­ing for some­thing new with vam­pires. Series starts with Once Bit­ten, Twice Shy.

And at the moment I’m read­ing The Devil Inside by Jenna Black. (Hope I’ve remem­bered her name right, I’m ter­ri­ble with names and the book is next door). I’m absolutely lov­ing this and am peeved that I have to wait for the next book. there are BDSM ele­ments so if that’s not your thing bear this is mind.

Julie Hyzy’s “State of the Onion” — Really good cosy mys­tery, with a White House chef as the main char­ac­ter, so White House trivia and cook­ing tips to add interest!

Also coin­ci­den­tally, I also read Bar­bara Michaels’ “Stitches in Time” — spooky para­nor­mal mys­tery! Agree with Saman­tha, it is good.

I read Work­ing for the Devil by Saint­crow when it first came out. It didn’t work for me as I didn’t like the heri­one much and the voice/style didn’t work for me. I posted on your blog but see I didn’t leave my name!

I read Lilith Saintcrow’s Work­ing for the Devil over the week­end. Inter­est­ing. I’m not entirely sure what I think yet, although it was intrigu­ing enough that I’m going to look for the next book in the series.

Thanks guys, I really appre­ci­ate the titles. I think my “slump” might be over as I did find some­thing to read!

Meg Cabot — I have quit a few of her books in my pile.

I also got from my library another graphic novel and Dana Stabenow’s Pre­pared for Rage — sus­pense on the water! It sounds really good and I hope it’s good. I am a huge Dana Stabenow fan because I loved her Liam Camp­bell books which are still on hia­tus. Sigh.

I just fin­ished Savour Me Slowly by Gena Showal­ter. I’d read a cou­ple of books by her before and they were ok — but this one I really enjoyed.

Just read Sun­shine by Robin McKin­ley this week­end. It was great! It really left me want­ing to know more about the characters.

I’ve been on a Bar­bara Michaels kick lately. I just fin­ished Stitches in Time by her which was freakin fan­tas­tic. I also just fin­ished She Went All the Way by Meg Cabot. Which was a fun read roman­tic read, I love her non-YA books.

Noth­ing par­tic­u­larly show stop­ping but a cou­ple of sur­pris­ingly enjoy­able reads. A Har­le­quin Presents Bed­ded for Dia­monds by Kelly Hunter and The Mer­cernary by Cherry Adair which is a re-release of an ear­lier Hqn Temp­ta­tion. Cur­rently my nose is in an older his­tor­i­cal by Laura Lee Guhrke that was rec­om­mended to me by sev­eral peo­ple called To Dream Again. It has an inter­est­ing twist because it’s 1899 Eng­land and a man and a woman are busi­ness part­ners in a fac­tory. I’m only 100 pages in but it’s pretty good.

I just fin­ished Born to Rock by Gor­don Kor­man, a really hilar­i­ous YA novel. Now I’m read­ing the first vol­ume of Fables by Bill Will­ing­ham and a host of artists. Guess it depends on how you feel about comics (but it has fairy­tales! Liv­ing in New York! It’s awe­some.)

I just fin­ished Joanna Barrett’s Men’s Guide to Women’s Bath­rooms and I LOVED IT!!! I think next I’m gonna read the sec­ond of KMM’s new books–I started it and set it down for some reason.

Since before Christ­mas I’ve been read­ing Linda Fairstein. Inter­est­ing mys­ter­ies based in NYC with an indepth look into a unique tan­gent. “Bone Vault” focuses on the work­ings of both the Nat­ural His­tory Museum and the Met while “Entombed” had Edgar Allan Poe. I’m just start­ing “Cold Hit” so am not sure what it will be but I’m look­ing for­ward to each night slip­ping into bed and read­ing a chap­ter to find out. There’s noth­ing hard think­ing about these book, they’re pure enter­tain­ment — just what I’ve needed.
