For the list of recommendations in May, look here:

May Recommendations

If you are an author or publisher, please do not 'recommend' your own books. Instead you may start a discussion/promotion thread in the Book Bazaar.

Generally, this thread is for quick recommendations. You know, you're sitting with a friend at dinner and you say, "Hey, I just finished this book and I think you would love it!" That kind of thing.

If you've got a book review or other site and would like to regularly share reviews with us, we invite you to start a thread in the Book Bazaar for your site and periodically post links to reviews, subject to our posting rules for authors and bloggers.

Also, please use generic links, or, even better, the Link-Maker to make KindleBoards affiliate links. But please do not link through another site.

Please see Forum Decorum for guidelines.

I'm currently reading Alan Dean Foster's The Mocking Program. So far the dark intrigue keeps you glued to the page.

Just started a book by Angela Rhodes, The King of Tahirah. About mermaids.

Just finished DARKNESS AT NOON by Arthur Koestler. Published in 1940, it's the story of a committed communist who begins to doubt the revolution. Not a spoiler: in the first scene he's dragged off to prison. A great book, and a surprisingly quick read for a piece of Literature.

I've been on a kick lately, totally enjoyed the romance novella "Matchmaker 2.0" by Debora Geary (which is available for free). Also read the first three (of four) of Apprilynne Pike's "Wings" series and I'm anxious for the fourth one to come out, unfortunately, not until next year--it's YA paranormal with fairies. Also, loved Sarah M Eden's clean and hilarious Regency romance, "The Kiss of a Stranger." I always love her stories.

I just finished A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness and it was awesome! The Kindle version is a little pricey but it was so worth it. My only regret in reading it now is that I now have to wait a year for the next in the trilogy.

I just got two by James Rollins this morning. I'm not recommending them in the sense of having read them yet -- but if you're a Rollins fan, you'll want his new SIGMA short story exclusive The Skeleton Key: A Short Story Exclusive (99 cents) and also one of his earlier books, Black Order With Bonus Material is on special at $1.99. The bonus is an excerpt from his newest, (forthcoming) book The Devil Colony. I couldn't resist!

While I'm Falling by Laura Moriarty is fantastic.  Loved it.

Ooooh I just finished Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh. It's sooooo so so so so good.

Just finished The Long WayHome by Robin Pilcher. A quick, feel-good read. Enjoyed it. Working on Jonathan Tropper's The Book of Joe now.

Thoroughly enjoying Borrowed Time by Keith Hughes. It's an interesting take on time travel and its repercussions.

I loved DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth. One of the top three books I've read in the last year.

I recommend Averys Flight by Erika Lee and Divergant by Veronica Ross. Both are in the future and very disturbing - loved them!

Have you also read The Windup Girl? Is this one any better or worse? I'd be interested to hear more what you think about it.

Read this one not too long ago, thought it was good.

Tooth & Nail, by Craig Delouie

I recently finished Towards Yesterday by Paul A. Jones. Strong post-apocalyptic, sci-fi thriller. Kept me sneaking away from my duties at home and at work to read my Kindle.
