    Hello

    Oh, it is so COLD outside today. Freezing!

    DRACULA: Hearts of Stone This MIGHT be a little like Dracula if written by J. K. Rowling. It’s a place where magic and vampires interweave for an exciting adventure. Dracula: HEARTS OF STONE
    A tale of magic, romance and fangs.
    We start with a shiny new pot of boiling water and add too many evil vampires, and not enough of the good biters. Toss in one suicidal Dracula; add a cup of mayhem and a dash of romance. Oh yes, and a pinch of mirth. Stir lovingly and you have a new novel by A. J. Gallant. If it sounds like the recipe for you then you must read Dracula: Hearts of Stone.

    OR

    "Madman in the Mirror" is a story about a man - Henry Johnson - who is raised by a psychopath and forced to watch - even as a baby - his father murder people on a regular basis. He is also abused and brainwashed, turning him into a sociopath. Henry stalks and murders people efficiently - he tells himself that he may be a killer, but he doesn't want people to suffer. He is haunted by hallucinations, including a specter in his mirror that talks to him.
    “A.J. is a master at creating word images that remain with the reader long after the book is finished.” Richard S. Friedman

    Hi,

    I see you like historical romances too. If you're interested, check out my historical romance group. Among other things, I have a "quizzes" post and an "Upcoming Releases" post.

    Hello :) I saw your comment on "Master of the Highlands" by Veronica Wolff about Scottish romances with time travel and wishing there was more with everyone in the same century.... and thought hmm I wonder if she has read Julie Garwood's Highland Historicals? The Bride, The Secret, Ransom and Saving Grace,The Wedding - all good books.

    Linda,

    I'm the same way...glad you like the Martinelli series! You will have to back up and start at the beginning of that series. The stand alone books like Keeping Watch are amazing too. Couldn't live without reading!

    That way it is less pressure, I always thought that they (the rest of the members) would be upset if you didn't read the selections. It is good that you all have more or less the same interests.

    You are in for a good weekend of reading ;-} I have not read any of the ones you mentioned below, so will have to check them out. Let me know how you like Kris Radish, the are a fun light read but with good friendships portrayed..I am not in a book club, which I always thought I would like, but then decided that there are too many books I want to read and didn't necessary want to read the ones that don't interest me.

    I haven't read any Joy Fielding books although I think I did take one from your shelf. I read Little Princes and I loved it. I read a lot of non fiction. Hope you enjoy kris Radish.

    Hi Linda, I enjoyed looking through your shelf and took a few for my wishlist. I didn't see any books on your shelf by Kris Radish, I think you might enjoy her, all of her stories are about a group of women friends, but my favorite was "Annie Freeman's Fabulous Travelling Funeral".

    Linda- thanks for the recommendations. I have already added them to my library request lists. Heading to the beach in 2 weeks, so I am stocking up! Last year I read almost a book a day while on vacation! Love it. My current favorites are The Help and Under the Overpass, if you are looking for some ideas.

    I think my best day is the same as yours, except it would be dogs (allergic to cats, unfortunately). Thank you for your kind note. I too am still sad about his death.

    LINDA, I just started reading Wild Zone (about 100 pages into it). I don't like any of the characters so far. My question is: Should I finish reading this book?
