I’ve just finished Venetia by Georgette Heyer. I can’t believe I’d never read this woman before! Some of the narrative drags a bit, but the plot and characters are so compelling that I was never once tempted to put it down.

Amy, Summer by the Sea is awesome!
I just now finished Whole Lotta Love by Stephanie Bond. Let me say, it was FREAKIN FANTASTIC!!! OMG I can’t get over how could this book was. I’m going to blog about it later.

FLORIDA ROADKILL< --Can I just say how much I love that title? :P
Posted on March 23rd, 2005 at 12:54 pmI’m pittiable…I have tons to choose from but I"m not reading anything. I just keep buying and buying and buying and I guess my brain is supposed to absorb them through osmosis or something
:blush:
Jill says:
Cece, LOL. I have the SAME problem. I need more shelves …
Posted on March 23rd, 2005 at 1:04 pmDonna M says:

Just finished Ride the Fire by Pamela Clare. It’s a great, wonderful, terrific book,
Posted on March 23rd, 2005 at 3:43 pmTiger’s Eye by Marjorie M. Liu which I also thought was very good and your very own Free Fall; again very good.
Currently I’m reading Killer Curves by Roxanne St. Clare.
Jill says:
Hmm, I’ve heard a lot about Tiger’s Eye, I might have to check that one out!
Posted on March 23rd, 2005 at 3:47 pmNicole says:
Oh Jill, Tiger Eye is fantastic! I just loved the possibilities she showed in the book. Seriously good paranormal.

Just finished one I picked up at the UBS.
Posted on March 23rd, 2005 at 8:07 pmPillow Talk – Hailey North, before that was Wicked Women On Top, and before that was Rachel Gibson’s The Trouble with Valentines Day.
not sure what I’ll start next.
Mel says:
Ditto Cece. Love the osmosis comment. And sometimes I wish I could speed read. LOL! If you enjoy books by Elmore Leonard and Carl Haaisen you’ll like FLORIDA ROADKILL by Dorsey. I must warn you though it’s extremely violent.
Posted on March 24th, 2005 at 4:35 amJill says:
Has anyone read Harlan Coban? Love him.
Posted on March 24th, 2005 at 7:17 amJodi says:

Posted on March 26th, 2005 at 8:46 pmCece says:
Mel…I’ll definitely have to check it out then–like I need more books LOL. Jill I bought one of his books once and started it but I never finished.
Posted on March 27th, 2005 at 6:23 amAnd I saw Mystic River it was just…sad. DOn’t get me wrong, I love good character driven thinking movies even if there’s no redemption like The 25th Hour but that was just…sad.

I’m in the middle of an EC book, Lyric’s Cop by Jory Strong. I’m loving it so far. Before that I read another EC book, Perfectly Incompatible by Kathryn Anne Dubois. Loved it! very good story and alpha hero.
I’ve been flipping thru my April Allure magazine off and on all day, too. Does that count as reading? LOL
Posted on March 28th, 2005 at 3:46 pmJill says:
Yep, magazines count! I read magazines when I’m burned out on books. i go back and forth …
