I've finished Unforgotten and rated it 4 stars.

Actually found it difficult to rate it. It's one of those books filled with pictures; poignant, warm, dark, creepy, hopeful, etc... As they say a picture paints a thousand words. I don't feel that I could rate it based on these pictures though I do admire the different elements of photos, drawings, etc. The "story" itself started with something warm then plunged into bleakness and ended with a kind of hope.

I know. She is fast, huh?

Tien (tiensblurb) | 9028 comments Mod
Err, well, I'm only fast because it's like a picture book for adults! I don't even quite know where it fits in 'genre' and I'm not sure if children would actually get it and not be creeped out by the pictures. 'twas kinda strange...

I am actually doing a year long celebration of short stories this year, Fairlee. I have to say, it is a bit difficult to find good short story books that aren't mysteries.

My third book finished: The White Tiger. I gave it 3 stars, but that it was never a 3-star book for me: in some ways 2-stars, in others 4-stars -- so I took an average.


message 20: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) | 1217 comments Finished by first book - Marked (Eternal Guardians, #1) by Elisabeth Naughton - 3 stars. Suffers from first book syndrome.

Susan, when I read this book, it turned out to be only 2* for me.

However, I can recommend White Tiger by Michael Allen Dymmoch. This one was a 5* read for me.

Amy | 2231 comments Finished Every Dead Thing, my second book, and gave it 3 stars.

That does look good, Bea. But it looks like I have 4 others in the series to read before I get to that one.

Susan, I read it as a stand-alone book, and it was fine.

message 28: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) | 1217 comments Finished my 2nd book - Ransom (Highlands' Lairds, #2) by Julie Garwood . A solid sequel. Garwood's writing is very addictive.

Lyn's probably busy with summer holidays :)

In any ways, the call will not be until (at least) the 1st of the month so let's give her a few days, huh? ;)


message 34: by Julia (new)

Julia (juliace) I finished the first book of my "series" theme read Fifth Grave Past the Light (Charley Davidson, #5) by Darynda Jones by Darynda Jones. This is the latest in the "Charley Davidson" series. IMO this is the best book of the series. It introduces a couple of new character who I hope we'll see in future books, and also raises a few more questions regarding Charley's relationship w/ Reyes and her "battle" with his father. I love the humor in this book and can't wait for the 6th in the series.
