I'm currently reading the third in the 'Alpha & Omega' series by Patricia Briggs. It's an Urban Fantasy book called 'Fair Game'.

I spend a lot of my time reading but there seems to a recurring theme with the genre I choose... I'm a tad embarrassed about it but no one knows me here so who cares. I love reading the Urban Fantasy genre (the more supernatural beings the better!) My favourite writers are Anne Rice, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Karen Chance, Patricia Briggs, Irvine Welsh, J.R.R Tolkien, Laurell K. Hamilton, Kanoko Sakurakouji, Matsuri Hino, Yukio Mishima and obviously Tite Kubo.

I would have to say I like just about anything. I've read from John Grisham, Christopher Paolini, JK Rowling, Stephanie Meyer (Just to see the hype about Twilight and what not. DON'T JUDGE ME!! Lol) Michael Crichton, JRR Tolkien. I've also read works from small authors but I can't remember the names lol.

Has anyone read “The Lady, or the Tiger? “ by Frank Stockton, it’s going to be my in-between read from the series I’m currently reading. Lately I haven’t been able to read as much as I would like.

The Gargoyle ---

This is a mild psychotic based book with a heavy touch of reincarnation.

* Beginning - the beginning was hard to capture my interest I don't like reality ( children having a hard life) base books .The fifth Chapter finally caught my attention a reality check and the start of a relationship.

* Middle-The in -between stories were wonderful and you couldn't help but wonder how was this weirdly beautiful relationship(s) of the two main characters are going to work out.

* End-I kind of figured it was going to end the way it did ( because of the side stories were kind of giving hints) but at the same time it became about finding oneself through great pain and sorrow.

THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

Set in Victorian London with characters real and imagined, The Map of Time boasts a triple-play of intertwined plots in which a skeptical H.G. Wells is called upon to investigate purported incidents of time travel and thereby save the lives of an aristocrat in love with a murdered prostitute from the past; of a woman bent on fleeing the strictures of Victorian society; and of his very own wife, who may have become a pawn in a 4th-dimensional plot to murder the authors of Dracula, The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds, in order to alter their identities and steal their fictional creations.

But, what happens if we change history? Félix J. Palma raises such questions in The Map of Time. Mingling fictional characters with real ones, Palma weaves a historical fantasy as imaginative as it is exciting, a story full of love and adventure that also pays homage to the roots of science fiction while transporting its readers to a fascinating Victorian London for their own taste of time travel.

Just curious if anyway has read this book it's on my to read list and kind of hoping for a B.E. review of sorts……..
