I really enjoyed that trilogy, so much so that I plan to listen to the audio version of it with my husband down the road. Hope you like it too!

I've read my first book, The Knife of Never Letting Go. Loved it.

Finished my first book, Last to Die, which was a good addition to the Rizzoli and Isles series.

That's good to know, Amy. I've been putting off reading it because the last couple of installments have been meh.

Finished my second book, The Secret Life of Bletchley Park: The WWII Codebreaking Centre and the Men and Women Who Worked There. This was a really good, interesting read.

Finished my first book:

by Elisabeth Naughton. 3 stars - Not a bad beginning to the series although it does suffer from first book syndrome with the focus on the world building which is based on the myth of Jason and the Argonauts in Greek Mythology.

Finished my second book, Every Dead Thing and gave it 3 stars. Gory murder mystery that dragged a bit but wasn't too bad.

I have both my books in progress right now - I bounced between several of the recommendations

yay, I finally finished a book - The Bone Garden - I really liked this, she did a good job of meshing the past/present into the mystery...I would actually love to see more books with the characters from the past

Glad you enjoyed The Bone Garden, Dee. It was original even for Gerritsen.

and finished up book 2 - Something About You - it had been loitering on Mt TBR for wayyy too long...it was cute...I had read the second one in the series and was a tad lost because it referenced stuff that occurred in this one, so I feel better now

I enjoyed the first two books in Julie James's series but not the last two. She changed the tone from romantic suspense (which I prefer) to straight contemporary and I ended up getting bored.

ahhh, so i found it more contemp that RS anyway...I like, but don't love her

Starting for my second book.

I'm halfway through my second book. I ended up reading - Garwood's writing style is very engaging.

I love Garwood - I cut my romance teeth on her and laVyrle spencer

Finished - a solid sequel. I love a sexy, grumpy highlander who falls hard and fast.
