Lynxie’s comments from the Aussie Readers group.

Started my first All I Want For Christmas.

They're stuck in an elevator on Christmas Eve!

Well, I did manage to finished Diary of the Gone after all. It was a very quick read, it just sucked me into it. ★★★★

Certainly was. Sadly (or perhaps happily) I probably put more than that back onto my TBR list :D

So I've managed to read this month:

Outback romance: Saving Grace ★★★
Paranormal romance: Black Beast ★★★
Blood Descent ★★
Subversive ★★★★
Blood Prophecy ★★★
Mixed genre microfiction: Behind the Wattles ★★★★
Contemporary romance:Puppy Love ★★★
Fantasy/Paranormal/NA: Binds ★★
Romance: Blind Date ★★★
Erotica: Transforming Love ★★



Also started (but probably won't finish before the end of the challenge):

YA/Fantasy: Charis: Journey to Pandora's Jar
Horror: Diary of the Gone

Is this one any better? Less cranky, more eager to be done with school and work for the year :D

Haha! Yes Julie. I was a bit cranky yesterday with people at work. I wanted a profile pic to represent that!!

If you need some help, check out everyone else's lists - there's always some great books lurking in other people's lists :D

Hi Suzie, no you don't have to read them in order, any order you want to read them in is fine, that's especially good for those books on borrowing timelines.

I got another one read:

YA/Paranormal: Subversive by Rebecca Royce ★★★★

Carolyn wrote: "Nice list Lynxie! Looks like Behind the Wattles was your favourite!"

Yep it is so far :) It just had a great mix of styles and genres. I'm a bit surprised how much I enjoyed it.

And given the latest spate of lack-lustre books I'm reading an author I know I'll enjoy right now - I've only read 20 of her books to date :D

Subversive by Rebecca Royce

It is possible, I am reading a YA Paranormal right now... we'll see :D

Well that's confusing!

I just got another for $0.99c on kindle.

All I Want For Christmas by Annie Seaton - YAY!

For the moment I'll just put up my xmas themed read from the Summer challenge.

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham

If I come across any more while I'm reading in December I will add them as I go :)

I'll stick with the whole challenge too :)

I agree with Phrynne, I sometimes don't quite get through the challenges I set. Sometimes I do, but it's always about the joy of reading and trying new genres and authors :)

Oh yes! There's just something a bit special when you're the first of your group of friends who's read the book and loved it, then suggested people read it and they love it too. Or being ahead of the masses (I've been the first to review a lot of the books I read!) it's really neat!

I pretty much read anything - I focus on indie authors though, so that's probably why most of you won't have heard of many of the books/authors I'm reading. Some are pretty rubbish, but there's always a hidden gem in there to find too :)
