Best Funny Paranormal Romances

Lisa, is this book cover considered blue?

Yup. Looks blue to me, Melissa. ☺

Updated: Post #71 ~ 5/10

Thanks Lisa :D

I am avoiding The Art of Racing in the Rain. I heard it's sad! I love dogs but I don't want to cry! I read all of the Elder Races books so far in procrastination. (Which by the way Lisa Kay, I actually liked the other 3. Maybe not gripping in the same way, but I really like the characters! Esp Darling Carling!)

they didn't have ice cream or coffee onthe covers. I already had my funny book. I need covers with coffee or ice cream in the genre Romance or PNR

Glad you liked them, Lucy. I liked Carling better than some of my "buddy read" friends, but still not as much as some of the author's other heroines.

Okay...I'll keep looking.

Do you read YA, Ezinwanyi? I haven't read this, but there is . Looks good.

A really good book that is the color of coffee ice cream (at least the audio book cover is...) is .
