I just finished The Serpent's Tale, the second book in the Mistress of the Art of Death series. I'm listening to Twilight and reading The Mermaid Chair and Dead Matter.
My copy of The Wake of Forgiveness came in today!

My book is still waiting for me to start. I usually wait until the weekend before the discussion begins to start reading because I try to read with the schedule. Happy reading to all! =)

I have started, but only a few chapters. It's a good sign when the first few pages really draw you in and you start to "see" the characters and the landscape.

I am just now about 1/3 thur The Serpent's Tale; I am finding this series really interesting.
I read The Mermaid Chair a few years ago and I also really liked that book. It's one of those stories that sticks with you.

Susan,
Thanks for posting that Deeply, Desperately is out in print. I read the first Lucy Valentine mystery, Truly Madly, as a Sneak Peek and really enjoyed the characters.
Carolyn
Hi Carolyn..I read Truly Madly as a Sneak Peek as well,and was hooked..DD was just released August 3rd,and a Great follow up to TM..Especially if you are curious about what's going on in Lucy's and Everyone else's life."Surprises" as well..Thats all I will say : ) Enjoy Susan..Another Lucy V.book is coming out"Absolutely,Positively" Must ck when...
Susan,
When I read Truly, Madly, the first thing I thought was that it would make a good TV series. I even wrote that in my comments for Sneak Peek. Hopefully, the author will follow up on my suggestion!

twj I hope you enjoy your IPad I have a friend who loves hers.
VTC - are you just now starting Karen Marie Moning's Fever series, that is my all time favorite series.
And thanks AtreyU for the congrats on my new nook, I love it.
One of my other all time favorite authors took some time off to create an off broadway play which just closed last month, she still kept writing though because her newest romantic suspense novel just hit the shelves and it's great.
you can check out my review here at B&N or of course on my blog, but whatever you do check out the book.
Deb Will be reading the DarkFever series,,I like her writing style..and Set in Dublin..makes it even better...Susan
Susan, you will love it, but it's very dark.
ps. I got my book yesterday Yay!!!!!!!!

Hi Pepper.
That is a good point, but one nice thing IPAD added is a slide adjustment you can use to
tone-down the screen as needed for your comfort. So far I haven't had a problem and I've been using it since it came on the market. But you are also right about Kindle and Nook, the screens are easy on the eye.
For me, I do a lot of late night reading (bad sleeper) so the backlight keeps the room dark for anyone else either watching TV or sleeping. ![]()
Well at least we have choices now, so that's a good thing.
