Reading Books For Pleasure

[ShyVixen]

Cool!

Should we put it on the BDSM BOTM list??

OOhh definitely. But it's a bit confusing in parts (and I hadn't read them all) if you haven't read the previous books in the series

I'm not reading Plum Lucky Oh yeah, I got ahold of that and Plum Spooky from my local library. Go me. lol

I'm reading slower than I anticipated this week. My sinus problems are kicking my ass. I'm just exhausted all the time.

(((((furryfury))))) Some weeks I feel like that, but I do hope you feel better soon

I finished The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Was only 20 pages long though. And I finished Plum Lucky. So now reading Born in Fire by Nora Roberts.

 

[FurryFury]

Sounds like some good reading.

Last night I finally finished The Night Villa by Carol Goodman. I really enjoyed this book so much.

It's got a mystery to it, several in fact. There are things going on in the modern world and things they are finding out about the ancient world just before the Pompeii tragedy. This is one of those books that I had to go google some things to see how "real" they were or if they were fiction.

Here's a funny thing. Sake seemed to help tonight.

Yes the alcohol should help, also try unpasteurized local honey it will help adjust you to the pollens of the area. I can look up some more recipes for sinus pain. I usually put pressure on my under eye area and right between my eyes at the bridge of my nose and squeeze hard it helps with the pressure/pain. Look up pressure point therapy it helped me and no groggy side effects. sorry for the hijack

Sinus tips are always welcome and hijacks are the way of life!

Thanks again!

I personally hardly ever experience that feeling - I'm a voracious reader, but I can't read a (fiction) book unless I read it all in one go. Call me strange, but when reading a good book I seem to become submerged in the atmosphere/situation and once I break off, it's not quite the same when I go back to it.

The only downside is that I don't have many times when I have a few clear hours occurring together; consequently I haven't read many books in the past few months and am still suffering withdrawal symptoms lol

Ooh I hate withdrawal,
Strange this is how I react with non-fiction /studying or just off on a need to learn about that whatever it is I am studying at the moment tangent. If I stop I can never get back to the same intensity that I had.

Now with a good fiction book, I have been told you could set off a bomb and I won't even blink. I think they exaggerate.

It's nice to meet you

I'm now delving into Just After Sunset by Stephen King. That man writes killer intros, then the stories feel such a let for me. Willa is not great, but I'm enjoying the gingerbread girl. Hope they continue in this vein.

 

[KayKat]

I am reading Bone Cold by Erica Spindler right now..it is a good book so far..

Synopsis

It's been 23 years since Anna North survived an attack by a madman who cut off her pinkie, then vanished. Now, she writes thrillers under a pen name and finally feels safe. But when letters arrive from a disturbed fan, and a close friend disappears, she realizes her past is linked to the murders of three women in New Orleans.

 

[ShyVixen]

Finished the Stephen King book. Now starting Biting the Bullet by Jennifer Rardin.

 

[FurryFury]

Adulthood Rites by Octavia E. Butler 4.5/5 was even better than the first one in the trilogy. I may try to read all of her books this year.

 

[FurryFury]

Plain Truth by Jodi Picault (sp?) was my first book by her. It was a good book. It gave me nightmares though.

Glad to meet you too; as regards the bomb, I think I would maybe look up, but probably I would just go back to reading! (Obviously depending on how far away the blast was lol, but anything less than a direct hit............)
Or maybe that's just me being the crazy insane person-who-needs-to-be-locked-up-without-delay I am

Have you ever read My Sisters Keeper (I think that is the title) by Jodi Picault, too? Good book!! Makes you think....

omg that was a good book...one that I never could have guessed the ending to until the very last second...her books do make you think and I have to be in a certain mood to be able to read them...they're definitely not light reading.

I've never read any of her books, but I enjoyed her run on Wonder Woman (although Gail Simone rocks even harder).

I'm currently reading Jane Lindskold's Dragon of Despair, third in her Firekeeper series. I really enjoy the way she brings wolf psychology into human politics, although she has an unfortunate reliance on deus ex machina.

No. I wouldn't have read this one if it weren't the BOM of an online book club I belong to. I think all that heavy emotion gives me nightmares. I kept dreaming about my baby boy being in danger.

Hello

Just stumbled across this thread, and thought I would add my current reading book to the list.

Latest one off the pile is The Redemption of Althalus by David and Leigh Eddings.

I am almost at the end of it, all in all a good book but I am looking forward to moving onto a new one, but there again, I always do.

Just started reading Chuck Pahlaniuk, "Choke" was very funny in some parts, same with "Haunted" apart from the 1st story "Guts", (don't read it while you're eating)

I've been thinking of reading that one. I'm not sure about it though.

Tethered by Amy MacKinnon 2.5/5

Yeah that one kept me guessing until the end. and I agree totally it is something you have to be in the mood for!

No. I wouldn't have read this one if it weren't the BOM of an online book club I belong to. I think all that heavy emotion gives me nightmares. I kept dreaming about my baby boy being in danger.

Yeah she is heavy reading but this one was really good and made you really think!
