Looked him up. Does sound like a great read.......

Gibbo · 02-08-2009, 01:47 PM

It does sound interesting but Fictionwise has it for $10.71 club price to expensive

Just finished 'Refuge' by Richard Herley.

Now started 'The Perpetual Curate' by Margaret Oliphant - Victorian novel from PG, will upload it here after the read through.

I just finished two of the free Harlequin books, and now I'm reading a Jennifer Crusie book (bought the bundle).

Just finished:

Damage Control by J.A. Jance: Pretty good, I have read the whole series by this author. Over-priced but I got it during a 60% micropay rebate sale so I am okay with that.

Cycler by Lauren McLaughlin: Excellent. A very creative novel about a teenage girl who becomes a boy for four days a month during her 'cycle.' Again, over-priced, but again, I got it with 60% Micropay rebate...

Tornado Bait by Amy Eastlake: Excellent! And this is an internet indie author. Loved it and will def by more in this series. Books for a Buck prices their books well.

Witchy Woman by Karen Leabo: Another Books for a Buck author. Liked this one a lot. I wish this author would do some sequels rather than each book being a stand-alone...

I loved both of Dan Browns books, I guess I'll have to try this one.

Meanwhile I finished Midnight Veil by Lara Adrian, and two of Elinor Glyn's books; Man and the Moment & Three Weeks both good relationship and growth studies. And then I downloaded a freebie by Carole Nelson Douglas (Fictionwise?) entifled Dancing with Werewolves. I thought it was so cool, I went back and bought the next in the series; A Brimstone Kiss they were both really light, fun, fast reads. After that I got a great deal on a pre-order and downloaded Coyote's Mate by Lora Leigh also pretty good.

Currently reading Ecstasy by Jacquelyn Frank. LJ I just can't get into audo books.

I am loving Refuge. The first few pages were hard. Now I can't wait to get into a discussion.........

I did find chapter 2 to be a bit much. But now that I am past it, I'm liking the book. Stick with it.

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

The Description -

And I have to say that The Book is great. It literary had me choked up at times, and the basic things he talks about are often just Common Sense, but are things you often forget.

I'm also reading

Don't Get Too Comfortable by David Rakoff Very Snarky, but Intresting

What Is Your Dangerous Idea?: Today's Leading Thinkers on the Unthinkable by John Brockman Quiet Interesting

Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism by Robert Pape Slow Going, as is quiet Dense.

The Physics of Superheroes by James Kakalios

Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos by Michio Kaku

Is Randy Pausch's book not the best read?

nekokami · 02-09-2009, 01:34 PM

Read Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs yesterday. Good strong characterization. A few clever twists and turns. I was borrowing it in hardcover from a friend who'd bought it, but assuming the ebook price comes down when it hits paperback, I'll probably get my own copy. (I've already re-read the other books in the series, and will probably do so again.)

I hadn't realized Carole Nelson Douglas was writing about werewolves now. I'd been hoping she'd write some more Irene Adler books. People who like her might like Barbara Hambly.

Fledchen · 02-09-2009, 02:54 PM

Refuge is making me feel terribly ignorant. I have to look up the French and Latin words that keep popping up which is making it hard to focus on the story.

DixieGal · 02-09-2009, 03:02 PM

Refuge is going to give us a lot to talk about. I'm almost finished with it, making some sticky notes along the way because I don't want to forget anything. I'm reading the Adobe DE version, and the sticky note feature sure would have made it easier on me when I was in college. No, scratch that. Books weren't available online at the time. PG was being discussed as something revolutionary that was coming down the pike.
