You can tell a great story in three books, though. Bet this is one heck of a series.

She said she may even do a follow up on the new person introduced in the last Bones and Cat book. (Trying not to be all spoilery, in case anyone hasn't read it yet! ;-)) I've bought the first in her new series, Beautiful Ashes, but I haven't read it yet. I'm getting tired of waiting a year between books, so I'll wait until the last of the three is about to be released before I jump into those.
Right now I've been reading a bunch of advanced reader copies I got from netgalley. The one I'm on now,
, is a regency romance, and while it's fun to read something not paranormal every once in a while, this one is so far from paranormal that I'm a little in shock. Not even a pretend ghost in sight so far!!
Wow...51 posts since last time I checked in. I guess it's been awhile...I'm currently reading
which is typical unrealistic New Species but I love every smutty minute of it. Darkness is broody and purrs and has handcuffs....yum. :DAfter three attempts I finally got through
I hated the heroine. She's going on my worst heroine ever list. I'm now listening to
and really enjoying it. The narrator is good and does a nice job on Bowan.Also listening to
which is good. Better than the last book imo. Stark makes me lol at some of the things he says.
I love to read a Regency now and then, but then I'm still in love with Mr. Darcy. The new Regencies are a little racier, though. Took me by surprise, but I like them:)
It ended up being pretty good. Since it's an advanced copy, I'm not supposed to post the review until the second to last Tuesday in October. Now I'm reading
, which I'm going to guess is way closer to erotica than the regency was!
The Coalition is a police force for shifters in this series. The FUC, formerly known as the FUCD, but someone thought the D made it vulgar. That's how it's explained in the beginning. It's pretty corny, some of the things they think about their own animals and other people's animals. Like the giraffe has the most graceful neck she's ever seen, except maybe for the swan in the IT department. Of course her thoughts about the bear shifter she's got the hots for are way more explicit. It's amusing me though. I'd say that it's not a book for everyone, but it's definitely going toward the erotica side of things already.
I was up til 5am this morning so I was able to actually finish both
and
which were both really good reads however I have to warn you...
Is SUCH an emotional read... I've posted my review of it if you want to take a look but I do highly recommend it https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Now I'm trying to decide what to read next lol

One won that battle, but we're still watching the other fight the good fight. I'd be too horribly emotional to try to read it. It does look like a good story though, just not one I personally would be able to handle.

I've had a few friends diagnosed with it along with an aunt and I found while reading it it was more about Hope and survival and not focusing on the negative but yes I can understand how it would be hard for some... Depends on the people I guess

Thanks for that laugh! Though I could have done with out the mental image, since I have a thing about eyes and stuff touching or worse to them. But I laughed because you wanted to do something so drastic!!

I like the IAD series but some books I don't enjoy as much as others which I guess is to be expected.

The story went on a little too long. BUT...for me New Species is a guilty pleasure series. I think they're kind of silly but that's what I like about them. They're like cupcakes. They have no nutritional value and I usually feel guilty later but at the moment I love them. If I think about the plot I could tear it apart but Darkness was broody and had handcuffs and purred so I was totally entertained for a bit. :D (I did like seeing Fury and Salvation and Slade and Forrest.)
Hi, I'm new to the group! I love seeing what everyone is reading--I just added a lot to my to-read shelf. Right now, I'm reading Murder of Crows
Welcome Womenofbadassery! Great name. I've preordered the pb edition of Murder of Crows, hope its good :)
Thanks, Sandra! According to my Kindle I am 38% of the way through and I can't wait to get back in and finish the whole thing in one gulp. I love that the title of this book has a lot of different, apropos, meanings.

But I will read them in order, lol.
I'm almost half way through
now.
I only make it through one book a week, so going to finish
tonight. Fizzled before the last chapter last night. Can't believe I couldn't stay awake, because it's good. Ready to start
. I love short stories.

Jane is such a good series, very underrated IMO."Sounds like a great series, just added it to my wishlist shelf :)
Just finished Kiss of Steel (London Steampunk #1) and found it differed from what I initially anticipated.Now I'm about to start C.M Owens, Daughter of Aphrodite
Just finished
and currently reading
which is pretty good but not what I'm in the mood for. Kind of in a book funk. Nothing's really wowing me lately. Really wanting something I'm going to love. I think I'm finally going to get around to reading

I hope you enjoy it! It is one of my favorite series of all time, so when I hear of someone considering this series, I get all excited!
Finished
and now reading the second book in the series,
. Not sure if I'll continue on with the series after I'm done though.

Just finished THE SUMMONING by Kelley Armstrong and currently working thru her Darkest Powers Bonus Pack.But if I finish it before the library can find their copy of THE RECKONING I'm gonna have to 1-click it on Amazon
I'm doing a reread of
♥♥ so that I can finally read
... You know when you're so excited to read somethin that you can't read it? That's happening to me right now, 'cus I friggin' loved HoO!
I just finished
by Kelley Armstrong and am now stuck. I checked on Amazon for a digital copy of
but it's currently unavailable - the library has 'temporarily misplaced' their copy, the secondhand stores rarily carry any Armstrong work and I'm a bit of a penny pincher and don't wanna pay full retail at the book store (how sad is that!).So I've started on
huge change of pace, but maybe what I need.
Was half way done with
& accidentially left it at the car wash. Was too embarassed to go back and ask for it back. Oh well. I got it at a thrift shop anyways...... Guess I'm off to the library now.Listening to
on audio.
