35559 And here my library only lets me check out a paltry 8. (it was 6 earlier but they upgraded to 8).

35559 I can't do that. When I read a book, I'm totally immersed in that. If I stop a book halfway because I was not in the mood, I usually don't pick it up again. It has happened to a number of books. So I try not to put it aside for a while.

And the Malazan books actually need your brain to be completely engaged unlike, say, the Inara Scott book. That's a totally comfort read contemporary and fluff. If I pick up House of Chains, I completely get lost in the world, trying to pick up loose threads happening. The group buddy-reading is so much fun. Everyone's posting their theories and guesses that I lose lot of time in reading and responding. Then I feel guilty because during that time, I could have finished another 200 pg book. But, the final point is read the Malazan series. It's a totally awesome series!!

35559 I am also neglecting my House of Chains (Malazan Book of the Fallen, #4) by Steven Erikson book. Only 100 pages in and another 900 pages to go. And like others, I can't seem to read more than 1 book at any time. So envious of people who can do that!

35559 Leslie! Those look yummy. It's 10 PM here and I want donuts now!! And to tell you the truth, I pre-ordered the book as a treat to myself.. and I don't know when. Thankfully, I didn't order it again.

Today was a very very very good day for me. I finished up Hidden Talents by Jayne Ann Krentz . I also discovered that I had The Boss’s Fake Fiancee by Inara Scott in my e-reader (I have no idea when I bought that) and finished that too. I am now 40 pages into Venom (Elemental Assassin, #3) by Jennifer Estep

35559 Seriously?!! LMBO! I wonder why they felt they had to tweet to the author :O

Thanks, LK!

LMBO!

I won..."

35559 I'll be starting either Hidden Talents by Jayne Ann Krentz or Venom (Elemental Assassin, #3) by Jennifer Estep next. All whilst counting down... Two and a half days to go for Heart of Obsidian (Psy-Changeling, #12) by Nalini Singh

35559 Good Evening Team!

I had finished up

Golden Trail (The 'Burg, #3) by Kristen Ashley - fits 7%. The book was good but it REALLY needed editing. There were so many open threads that it was getting to be difficult keeping track of all of them.

The Duchess War (Brothers Sinister, #1) by Courtney Milan - fits 7%. Loved the cover and the book was quite good. I loved Minnie and Robert. They were the best points in the book. I'm definitely picking up more books by Courtney Milan.

35559 Totally agree with you, LK! The suspense part was good but she was having way too many threads that could have been cut so much shorter. The middle part was soooooo long.

35559 The website has been weird for me today. The empty slider box doesn't remain empty. Like this:

The top left box should remain empty. It's confusing me and I'm skipping the second.

35559 I'm trying to be nice here,LK. :D
35559 LOL! That is not bad. Doing that with breakfast is bad! :P Good Night, LK!

35559 It was and it really needed editing. Could have saved at least 50 pages! Thanks, LK!

35559 Lisa Kay, just checking- do we need to verify page number for ebook only versions? I'm pretty sure Golden Trail is more than 160 pages..
35559 And I just finished the first book! Is it okay that I tagged now?
