Jim Bitcher and Simon Green

I finished Jim Butcher's Proven Gulity and White Night. So I have 3 books left in the Dresden files...then I am all caught up with what the author has released. I really enjoyed these two books. The series is a very exciting and fast paced. I like how the books are structured apart form each other and how they build upon each other. The characters are really growing and developing in interesting ways. I highly recommend this series, especially if you like supernatural and magical books.

I also finished Something from the Nightside by Simon R. Green. I really enjoyed this first novel in the series. I thought it had some interesting characters which I thinnk have a lot of potental. The plot was also unpredicable and fast paced. I really enjoyed the world Green created. It is a book i would recommend for readers of supernatural fiction as well.

I am currently reading Agents of Light and Darkness by Simon R. Green. Which is the second book in the nightside series.

Lisa Kleypas, Jim Butcher, and the Nook!!!!

Well I have not updated in far too long. So there is a lot to go over.

First off I finished Lisa Klepas' Hathaway series. The last 2 books Married by Morning and Love in the Afternoon were just released this summer. Lisa Kleypas is one of my favorite authors so I am a bit biased. This series is very fun. It is a spin off from her wallflower series. Now i waited and actually read the last 3 books in the series not that far apart.

First up is Poppy's book, Tempt me at Twilight, which i enjoyed more then I thought I would. This story was delightful and I especially like how the hero is shown. They definately are a different type of couple. It has a really fun plot and moves very quickly. It was a delightful read.

The next book is Married by Morning which is Leo's book. This is the book I was looking forward to because it is a story about him and the governess they hired a few years earlier. So you get moments with these two characters in the previous books, which is nice. We already have a feeling for these characters and it is fun to fianlly get there story. I love also how Kleypas connects her characters and uses them throughout all the books in the series. This one was worth the wait and a fun time.

Beatrix's story Love in the Afternoon was the best in the series. I expected the previous book to be my favorite, but this one was a pleasent suprise. This book has strong interesting characters. I think the two main characters are the strongest in the series and was a wonderful end to this series.

All three books were fantastic. I highly recommend this series which consists of five books. This was a wonderful series and is very well done. Strong characters and interesting plots.

I also am having a wonderful time with my Nook. It was a wonderful investment!! There are lots of free books and with the wish list feature makes it easier to buy the books i intend to buy. It is excellent to read on and very convientent. So i recommend getting an e-reader. You can also use library e-books but I have not figured out how to do that yet. But it is a lot of fun and worth the money.

I have also been listening to the Harry Dresden books by Jim Butcher. I have gone through the first 7: Storm Front, Fool Moon, Grave Peril, Summer Knight, Death Mask, Blood Rites, and Dead Beat. This is a very good series. I am really enjoying the books and recommend them. They are very dark and some have some pretty intense scenes. But they take an interesting look at supernatural creatures and situations. The characters are strong and enjoyable. I also like how much Butcher has going on in the books and that he has storylines that continue through the books. I would recommend reading them in order to get the most out of the series. If you like vampires, ghosts, demons, talking skulls, and werewolves you will really enjoy the books. And the main character Harry Dresden is fantastic.

Right now I am reading Proven Gulity by Jim Butcher and Something from the Darkside by Simon Green
