My favorite read lately was Gulp by Mary Roach. She's an amazing writer ... humor and wit on scientific topics. Not a dull moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-been-reading-recently/page/2#post-1929929 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:49:21 +0000 hellobeeboston 1929929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished The Art Forger ---- so good!</p> <p>Reading The Heretics Daughter now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-been-reading-recently#post-1929914 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:39:28 +0000 Ginabean3 1929914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just finished Secret Place by Tana French!

If you like those, you would probably also like James Rollins. He has some that are a series (the Sigma series) and some that are standalones. Good stuff.</p> <p>@JerricaBenton: I know what you mean about savoring the last few chapters; I love/hate it when a great book or series ends and leaves me wanting more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-been-reading-recently#post-1831174 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:32:09 +0000 Beehive 1831174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Wow, you got a lot of reading done on your vacation!!</p> <p>I'm halfway through the third book of Karl Ove Knaussgard's memoirs, My Struggle.

I'm almost finished now but I'm savoring the last few chapters! It's a little bit all over the place, but still a satisfying end.

It's pretty good! Not as great as <i>Stardust</i> or <i>Sandman</i>, but much better than <i>American Gods</i>. If you really liked <i>Stardust</i>, it might be best to read <i>Coraline</i> next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-been-reading-recently#post-1829010 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:22:28 +0000 JerricaBenton 1829010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ballerinabee: love the all souls trilogy! I'm almost done with the third book! I'm really enjoying it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-been-reading-recently#post-1828891 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:52:03 +0000 ballerinabee 1828891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For historical fiction that has a supernatural bent, I LOVE the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. I haven't read the final one yet (just came out this summer and I want to re-read the first two first). So excited!</p> <p>A friend from college wrote a historical fiction book - Jinn by Mathew B. J. Delaney. In that vein, I also enjoyed The Physician by Noah Gordon (1st in a trilogy).</p> <p>I do love YA series, and am currently in the midst of (and loving) the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare (City of Bones is the first one - the movie was terrible, but the books are great).</p> <p>I loved Ready Player One by Ernest Cline</p> <p>I love James Patterson, Jeffrey Deaver, and Jonathan Kellerman for murder mystery / thrillers</p> <p>I LOVE the Mitch Rapp books (1st one is American Assassin, there are 13 of them) by Vince Flynn (and was so sad to hear that he passed away in his mid-40s this past year, so young!)</p> <p>Keith Ablow's forensic psych thrillers are really dark, but pretty good</p> <p>Kathy Reichs' books and the books by Jefferson Bass (forensic osteology / bones murder mystery fiction) are great </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-been-reading-recently#post-1828593 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:38:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1828593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PermaStudent: hahha exactly!!!
