      @Netti:

      I already read the first book, and suggest you do as it sets everything up.

      Or you could listen to the first book ;), the audio book is uploaded.

      I also read the first book, now I can read the second part.

              I just finished Uprising by Randy Boyd.  Very different gay novel although the ending is a bit cliched.  If your public library uses overdrive.com you should be able to check out the e-book.

                        Radcliffe by David Storey (1963)
                        Like "Brokeback mountain" except it is longer and quite well written.
                        According to one review:
                        It is a Gothic novel in which a metaphyical dimension to the spiritual horror develops out of the
                        novel's uncanny correspondence with "The Idiot". Radcliffe easily brings to mind
                        Dostoyevsky; it has the the elements – the drama of a split psyche; larger-than-life
                        characters; sadism, masochism, rape; incest, murder, and madness; a focus on isolated
                        suffering through dreams and hallucinations......
                        Very dark and with a very tragic ending.

                            I'm reading Lirael by Garth Nix.  it's the second book in the Old Kingdom Trilogy.  It centers around a rather unusual fantasy setting, where necromancy and sorcery are powerful.

                            It is somewhat similar to the regular coming-of-age books and is the reason why these books are normally found in the young adult section.  I like the way it weaves a complex story while at the same time maintaining readability.  Some books that get a bit complex normally stress me out, but this series doesn't.  It also has a way of exposition that will slowly orient the reader to the culture in the world of the Old Kingdom.

                            I believe in the promise of each sunrise.

                              I just finished Infected: Life After Death (Infected, #3) by Andrea Speed

                              ! In a world where a werecat virus has changed society, Roan McKichan, a born infected and ex-cop, works as a private detective trying to solve crimes involving other infecteds.
                              ! But when your heart is gone, it’s easy to fall into a black hole and never crawl out. Roan has been lost and alone for more than a year, and his best friends think a new case might be just the motivation he needs. Roan forces himself back into the game and discovers a dead man who might not be all that dead, a street hustler that wants to hustle him, and a dominatrix who is well prepared to take Roan’s orders. As Roan claws his way out of the darkness by diving back into his work, he finds himself in a race against time in the adrenaline-pumping realization that nothing helps a person want to live like helping someone else survive.

                              Read both books before. I did like them better. But still they are all very well written and a must read. Characters and world building is amazing. Warning, no sex in any books, but it is about a gay private investigator and his lover-assistant

                              ! who dies and third book is the recovery and finding a rebound guy, that's one of the reasons I didn't like it as much as the first ones

                              Author creates deep characters with flaws which is not as common as it should be in books. And shifter world is completely different, more sci-fi, medical (it's a virus which kills and there is no fun being infected with it as in other shifter books).

                              Share your last read books (we ain't too strict, so if it's not the last, no biggie  😉 )

                                  The Power of Six - Pittacus Lore.

                                  This is the sequel to the novel "I Am Number Four".  The book, as always, has a much richer storyline than shown in the movies.  I liked the movie, but the book was way better. 🙂

                                  It also has a way of grabbing your attention, so I'm a bit careful not to read during the week because i might end up sleeping in the wee hours of the morning.

                                      Last book I've read is The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Leguin from her Earthsea cycle. Really nice fantasy books I must say. (And the style is refreshing after reading all current books of a Song of Ice and Fire) 😛
