Basically Books! discussion

What book did you just finish reading? What did you think of it? Was it good or bad? Would you recommend it to others?

I finished Bronze Gods by Ann & Andres Aguirre today: .

It's a steampunk murder mystery (with a hint of fantasy) set in a fantasy city with some aspects of a promised future romance.

I thoroughly enjoyed it! If you like intelligent steampunk aimed at adult readers, I'd recommend this book!

I'll add it to my tbr because I so trust your judgement :D

So I finished off a few this weekend.

Most notably, Elysian Fields by Suzanne Johnson:

This is the third book in a series, but it has quickly become one of my favourite urban fantasy series! ^^

I just wish book 4 were available now now now!

I've finished Release Me - J. Kenner. Is kinda like Fifty Shades and Bare To You style book, so intense are the characters that I throughly enjoyed it. Now I can't decide whether to read next installment or carry on reading something I started lol.

I have finished Claim Me - J. Kenner which I thought the characters are so intense now with the way Damien and Nikki are learning about each other. It's still in the style of 50 Shades.

I've finished ... great book with a few plot twists :D

I just finished Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick and I really enjoyed it, though It wasn't as good as the two books before. I didn't like the fact (view spoiler)[She couldn't remember anything from the last two books...so i didn't start to like it until she was told everything. (hide spoiler)].

If you want a simple book series and also short series as it's only 4 books and completed then I would deffo recommend the first book which is .

I am now going to start the last book in the series :)

I just finished for review.

I'm having a finishing off day today.

I finished Ghost Planet by Sharon Lynn Fisher which is a pretty cool sci-fi romance, and Reckless by Amanda Quick for the monthly read.

Hopefully I'll finish off a third one this evening!

I've finished reading Complete Me - J. Kenner and finished listening to The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year - Sue Townsend on my phone.

I've finished Destined to Fly - Indigo Bloome.

Just finished Shelter - Tara Shuler. Wasn't a bad book, was interesting in parts for the style of book. Found quite a few spelling and grammar errors and sent an email to the author telling her.

The Illustrated Olive Farm: https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8...

It was great to see the places I read about in the Olive Farm Trilogy come to life with pictures. The book is a quick, fun read.

I've had a 5hr bath and finished Vigilante - Kerry Wilkinson. Had some spelling/grammar mistakes, but all in all a very good thriller. I kinda guessed near the end who was doing it and will be carrying on reading the rest of the series.

I've finally given up on Halfhead - Stuart MacBride

"I am sorry to say that I have given this as much energy and time as I can, but I still can't get into the storyline. I have no idea the characters are like the way they are. Not sure where the story is going with a prolific serial killer not doing much as it is and why the police officer is just sat in a pub moaning.

Oh well, I do love Stuart MacBride's books. But I really couldn't get my head and teeth into this Sci-fi style book".

I've finished book 1 Desire in The Dining Club series by Marina Anderson.

I've finished Bound (book 2) in The Dining Room series by Marina Anderson.

I have finished Crave - Marina Anderson

I've now finished Seduce - Marina Anderson and Touch - Marina Anderson. Not sure what I will read next, but will decide in morning.

I just finished Easy by Tammara Webber and I am now LOST! It was a perfect 'get your mind out of reality' read. It was not a typical book for me (I don't really like Beautiful Disaster or books from the New Adult genre.) Right now I just need books that are well written but quick reads and are somewhat suspenseful and romantic. I know, that's silly, but that is what I am in the mood for right now and I keep finding NA books that are awful to read because of the writing or characters or romance/erotica which doesn't have a good enough story. HELP! What do I read next?!?!?

How did you know I had just finished a book? Are you following me...?

Just finished

I loved it! Didn't think I would at first, but 50 pages into it I was already in love with the story and characters. Ended up devouring it. Would definitely recommend it :)

Yesterday I finished S.E.C.R.E.T. - L. Marie Adeline. I gave it 4/5.

Who Michael?

I have just finished Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore which was great.
Also The Lord Is My Shepherd which was not so great.
And Prior Bad Acts a well-written detective action-thriller.

I have read Secret Shared - L. Marie Adeline.

I'm finishing By the Light of the Silvery Moon.

I have read Submit - Marina Anderson.

I have read Caress - Marina Anderson.

Last night I finished Surrender - Marina Anderson.

Last night I read and finished A country Halloween - Robert Larrison.

I have just finished the intense and most genius book A Child is Torn “Innocence Lost” - Dawn Kopman Whidden.

Last night I finished Roomies - Sara Zarr

That looks really good. I have added it to my TBR list.

It was really good and her 2nd book FACELESS: A MYSTERY is meant to be good as well x

Hey Kat, a bit late but you could try The Restorer by Amanda Stevens. It's thriller, not mystery, but it has an underlying romance! (Mind, this doesn't come to a head until book 3).

I read Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters earlier this year. It's got mystery, humour, and a touch of romance (no "intimate" scenes, though. It's clean).

Julie James is good romantic fun as well. Try Something About You.

It's not mystery, but I also highly recommend The UnTied Kingdom by Kate Johnson. (She writes mystery/romance as well, but I've not read that series). The UnTied Kingdom is a fabulous read! Jeshu, Tara, and Emma all read and loved it, too! ^^

I finally finished Mila 2.0 by Debra Driza. I really wanted to love the book - the premise is so cool! It started out so good, but the second half was a let down. :(

Finished the following books;
1. The Elephant Whisperer
2. The Land of Seven Rivers

I just finished Shahana by Rosanne Hawk

I've given up on Three Gentlemen of Verona: The Lovelife of London Society - Gianni Ventura (just couldn't understand it.)

This morning I finished my Halloween read which was Dying to Live - C.M. Wright.

I have just finished Escaping Reality - Lisa Renee Jones.

Just finished The Lost Library... It's a bit like Indiana Jones meets Dan Brown.. A good read.

I've finished The Succubus Gift - B.R. Kingsolver today.

Yesterday I read and finished Opal Fire - Barbra Annino.

Just finished what a dragon should know by G.A. Aiken and the Heidelberg ghost by Nickie Cochran

I've finally finished Rouge - Isabella Modra.

Finished Reading

Heat Wave - Nikki Heat series Book #1.

I a big fan of the castle series on television. I was curious about the book and grabbed the book immediately.
Book is an average thriller read. If you are a fan of the series than you will not enjoy the book. You keep drawing parallels between caskett and nikki heat and jamie rook. Moreover you try to serach for the reel- screen chemistry between book chracters. Plus you also try to draw parallels between the cases caskett have solved and the incidents in the book plot.

Go for it minus the series expectations.

At 1.30am this morning I finished My Savior Forever - Vicki Green
