I was doing really well, I finished about 1/2 of them, and then I couldn't work them in to other challenges and I paused... I'm committed to this clean up so I'm going to keep trying.

Ok, at the last moment I moved to Hard.

I have been trying to read this series for a while, but it seems that they are out of print, and my library system doesn't have the first one... which is useless.

But there are still 2 days left! You could do it!

Finished Medium!

yay! I just finished the last book in this series seriously, about 5 minutes ago!

KMM says Kiss of the Highlander and the one after The Dark Highlander could stand alone, but they do work as series.
For me book 1 was good enough to want to continue the series, but not enough that I felt I needed to do it right away.

Book 1 & 2 go together. Then book 3 really starts the stories that continue to reference each other. But if you decide to read the series, there's a fae character that plays a major role in the first book and continues to appear.

The Highlander Series really hits it's stride with this book. I'm really enjoying them!

Well, I know I'm in, but I have no idea what I'll be reading, yet. I need to see what happens over on the pnr challenge, plus what I end up reading this month.

Thanks. I may take you up on that, but there is almost 3 weeks left to this month, surely, I must be able to read one book where they don't talk about the heat. It seems like it shouldn't be that difficult. LOL!

I would just like to say, for the record, I'm currently reading To Tame a Highland Warrior by Karen Marie Moning. It takes place in Scotland...in the summer.

aaand that's why I haven't read the Fever series yet. I keep hearing about this cliff hanger and frankly my brain can't take it. So until the last book has been released and is in my possession, I REFUSE to read the Fever Series. From what I hear the next book is the last, right. I look forward to taking them all in.

I've got all the Higlander Series which I believe takes place in Scotland or else they really shouldn't be called the Highlander books, but the way my luck is going it will probably all take place during summer in the middle of a heat wave...
