Books by may new favorite historical fiction writier, Jill Marie Landis. I went to the used book store and purchased everything she's written of a historical nature....not anything modern times.

Now on book five of Naomi Novik's Temeraire series. I'm about to run out of books! Also started Robert Parker's last Spenser book, "Painted Ladies".

For those of you who enjoyed the "Mitford Series", Jan Karon is coming out with the second book in her "Father Tim Series". Its called "In The Company of Others" and will be released 10-19-10 (next week). I've pre-purchased it on my nook.
I've just completed both books in the Marta series that Francine Rivers wrote. I do love her fiction.

I enjoy Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series, but can take or leave most of her other work. I will read ANYTHING Frost, MacAlister, or Saintcrow write.  Why oh why did you have to post this?  I added Harris to my list of authors to read. And this weekend (the sprained ankle and sprained wrist led me to) read the first 5 books in the series!!! How many more are there? I am addicted!!! I don't remember exactly how many off the top of my head...but there's a bunch. I will say that the early-middle ones are the best.

I'm over half-way through the Vampire Huntress series by LA Banks. Hopefully the remaining books will take me to the release of Jim Butcher's anthology Side Jobs on October 26th. Not that I'm counting the days or anything...

<-- also counting down to the release of Side Jobs.  Just finished 'Masques' by Patricia Briggs. Fun, fairly simple as far as high fantasy goes. Now have two Rita Mae Brown hunt books to catch up on, and then will probably use rereads of Dresdens to fill in until the 26th.

I'm evening thinking that I should look into renting the series on DVD, but I wonder if I should finish the books first.

the series is nothing like the books, so it doesn't really matter. They took the setting, character names, and general set-up from the books and ran off in a completely different direction.

I checked my "book list" and there are 10 books in the Sookie Stackhouse series. The last couple are just so-so. I got the first couple of episodes through Netflix this winter and tried to watch them but couldn't do it. Like Becca said, nothing like the books and Anna Paquin drove me nuts!

Just finished the The Big Short and now reading After the Fall. SO - Give us a report on The Big Short; what did you think? I just finished "Hug Your People" by Jack Mitchell. A great book for setting a corporate culture of truly caring for your co-workers.

The Big Short was really good, it looks at the financial debacle by highlighting the stories of the people who saw it coming and made the money off of it such as Steve Eisman, Mike Burry, etc.. The book moves well and isn't overly long and can be read easily in one day of sitting. It isn't overly technical and puts terms that laymen may not understand into graspable concepts so none financial people can understand them.

I'm currently addicted to the "in Death" series.
Reading one a day, on average. It's all very strange, because they are written by J.D. Robb, which is Nora Roberts....and I don't particularly care for Nora Roberts. But I can't get enough of J.D. Robb. Go figure.

To Kill a Mockingbird. It's the 50th anniversary. As I read, I keep seeing Gregory Peck talking to Scout. This was a great book. Well worth reading or re-reading. Even though we're in a different place and time than when the book was first published, it is still very relevant.

Just started "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter." Everything I hear it's that it's a great read - but I'm having trouble getting into it.

I just started Ape House by Sara Gruen. I like it so far, but maybe not as much as I liked Water For Elephants. It's the first book I purchased on my new Kindle.

Has anyone read any Cathy Lamb books? A co worker brought me a couple to read and warned me that they were a little "off the wall".
