WotanAnubis Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 Kitty and The Midnight Hour by Carrie Vaughn. Well... more or less. Actually, I just tore through it in a single day, so it may be more accurate to say that I just finished reading it. What can I say? I'm a sucker for books with a werewolf as the heroine. Quote
dazzledfirestar Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 I just finished Running with Scissors by Augusten (sp?) Burroughs. Great book, I can't wait to read Dry by the same author. I loved Running With Scissors! And Dry is even better (I just finished it the other day)! The man has a gift... and a really screwed up life... Quote
Leonhart29 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 I'm actually trying to better myself a bit - I'm in the middle of "The Best Life Diet" by Bob Greene... It's actually quite good and makes a lot of sense. Quote
ladydeathfaerie Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 um... wow. some of the things being read make me feel decidedly..... stupid. because i'm not reading anything of the calibre some of you are. look! ldf stepped into the room. the IQ level just dropped again. i'm reading lots of series at present. i used to be a very avid Anne Rice fan, but after about... oh.... The Vampire Lestat, she got to be kind of.... crappy. still have my books and i might read them again at some point, but i'm not reading them now. just to name a few, and they cover lots of territory (i think), i'm reading: The Harry Potter books Laurell K. Hamilton-both sets of books Charlaine Harris-Southern Vampire series Jim Butcher-The Dresden Files C.E. Murphy-The Walker Papers Kim Harrison-The Hallows books Janet Evanovich-The Stephanie Plum books Lilith Saintcrow-The Dante Valentine books Simon R. Greene-The Nightside books M. R. Sellers- The Rowan Gant books another series i like but haven't read in a while (i own them. my room is being taken over by books) is the Diana Tregarde series by Mercedes Lackey i started the Bitterbynde trilogy but lost some of my enthusiasm when i got to the last book. in a move very unlike me, i have yet to finish it. i've read numerous anthologies lately, one of which gave birth to a whole slew of rabid plot bunnies for a story and also prompted me to go out and get a full book written off one of the shorts in the anthology. it was on dragons. Elves, Faeries, dragons and things of that sort are some of the subjects i love to read about. there are also a plethora of books i've picked up and haven't read yet. some that are turning into a series..... i love to read, but find i spend more time trying to write. as i said..... i feel kind of unintelligent next to some of you and the books you're reading or have read.... ps: those of you who have read any of Hamilton's books.... if you ever liked the AB series, check out the comics if you haven't already. the art is amazing and, hell's bells, some one drew a damned good version of Jean Claude.....

I'm waiting for the anthology, damn it! Only a few more weeks.... Oh, and I feel the same way sometimes when I see what everyone else is reading. I am currently reading The Skystone (The Camulod Chronicles, Book 1) by Jack Whyte and waiting for Deathly Hallows to come out. I'm not very far into it. It's quite a shock after reading nothing but smut for several months, but it's interesting (if slow going). Madapple, I think you'd like it (either that or you'd hate it ). Quote
ladydeathfaerie Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 I'm waiting for the anthology, damn it! Only a few more weeks.... Oh, and I feel the same way sometimes when I see what everyone else is reading. i have the first six individual comics, which will be in the first anthology. there's some great art. i think Nicolas is dead on. and hell.... Jean Claude. ooooh, baby. i actually plan on getting the hardcover when it comes out. its supposed to be this next week, according to Marvel. i know Amazon lists it in a couple weeks. actually, there's also supposed to be a two part coming out the next couple months entitled The First Death. its supposed to be set a year before Guilty Pleasures and will show us how Anita met some of the characters in the book. i'm getting that, too. i'm looking forward to it.

WotanAnubis Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 I've just finished reading Kitty Goes to Washington and am now somewhere at the beginning of Kitty Takes a Holiday, both by Carrie Vaughn. Yeah, you could say I like the series. Woe is me that there're only three books (so far). I'd like to say to that it's kind of like a light-hearted Anita Blake from before LKH went insane, but that'd be a lie. I never liked Anita nearly as much as I like Kitty. Quote
Guest Madapple Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 Tomorrow night at this time i should be knee deep into Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Quote
Squallfan Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Just got done reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows yesterday. Quote
ladydeathfaerie Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 gee, this should be surprising, given the last list i rattled off, but i've found another series that i like. the author's name is Rob Thurman and there are two books so far. the first is called Nightlife and the second, which i'm reading now, is called Moonshine. they're filled with monsters, mystery, death and mayhem. what more could a bloodthirsty girl like me ask for? i'm not reading it seriously, though. if i were, i'd be done with the book already. its only about 300 pages long, i think. give or take. right now, its sitting in the bathroom and i'll read a few pages while i'm in there. i really have to stop leaving books in the bathroom.....

Nanaea Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Posted July 27, 2007 I just picked up Harry Potter and Philosophy: If Aristotle Ran Hogwarts from the library yesterday. It sounded interesting, so I'm giving it a go. Quote
redsliver Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 I'm reading a bunch of HP Lovecraft's short stories. Quote
NefertariAran Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 Before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out, I'd just found R.A Salvatore's Legend of Drizzt series. I'd read books 1-3 (Homeland, Exile, Sojourn), then jumped into Deathly Hallows, and now I've started The Crystal Shard. Quote
Guest darma Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) I'm currently reading "Crime and Punishment" for the 2nd time Edited August 23, 2007 by darma Quote
foeofthelance Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 Currently Waiting On: Vorpal Blade by John Ringo and Doc Travis, and A Desert Called Peace by Tom Kratman. While I wait for them I'm burning through the Honor Harrington books by David Weber. Quote
redsliver Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 I just read Jon Stewart's Naked Pictures of Famous People. Next on my list is Dexter In The Dark but it seems that America and Britain get it before Canada, mumble grumble. Quote
Leonhart29 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 When I'm not reading some questionable fan fiction I've got my tried and true copy of Fellowship of the Rings... so I'm on a Tolkien kick. Quote
DarkCabaret Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 Right now I am only reading fan fictions, I finished the HP series and now have no other books to read ... except maybe "Hot House: Life at Leavenworth Penitentiary" Since I am an LV resident its been interesting to read about the pen that is only blocks away from my house.

teeta Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 Hmm, I haven't really read anything apart from 'Deathly Hallows' and somehow I got stuck =_= Quote
Leonhart29 Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Currently reading The Cat Who Could Read Backwards Quote
Entrisic Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Starting up Dean Koontz's Ticktock. This month got away from me and so I have to return it to the library tomorrow. Must finish it before then. (if I can pull myself away from the forums, that is.) Quote
NightScribe Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 She Stoops to Conquer and Other Plays, 19th century farce-like comedies Quote
foeofthelance Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 Honorverse novels, by David Weber. Rather fun guy, too. Vorpal Blade by John Ringo and Travis Taylor. One's fun, the other is a redneck physcist. A Desert Called Peace by Tom Kratman. Haven't quite started this one yet, but should be fun. The Philosophical Strangler by Eric Flin. Monty Python meets Tolkien in the best possible way. From talking salamanders, to God being invented by a man named Joe, its all fun. Quote
Guest Alien Pirate Pixagi Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 I'm rereading Stardust by Neil Gaiman. I love this guy's writing, and it upsets me that so much of the story got changed for the movie. Quote
ChaserBlue Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 Hunters of Dune for about the fifth time since I got it XD Quote
