I binge read the shorter series, for sure! But really long series - like In Death or Dark Hunter - I find I have to break them up and mix in other books. I'm anxious to start BDB though!




I also LOVE the BDB and the strong female characters in this series, can't wait for the next book.

I binged the BDB series when there were about 12 books. I also binged In Death when there were 35 books. I'd probably do the same thing again:)

Oh Quynh - you're killing me. I guess I must move this series to the top of my list or at least as soon as I finish IAD.

I finished The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (pseudonym of J. K. Rowling) and very much enjoyed the story.
My Review
I'm now reading The Grand Opening by Ava Miles, third book in her Dare Valley series. I'm already halfway through:)
My Review

I'm now reading The Grand Opening by Ava Miles, third book in her Dare Valley series. I'm already halfway through:)

I was trying Not to add any new series to my list until I get several read. And just today, I've added more! I have gotten into some dark series this year and discovered some fantastic writing. I love a book/series that elicits a strong emotional response in me. The book can shock me and make me wonder WT* - but if it sucks me in to flipping pages and sitting up late and binge reading the complete series, I love it. If it pushes my boundaries, blows my mind, touches my heart and soul...all the better. The Original Sinners series was one such series. I fully expect Consequences to do the same thing and now I've added The Dark Duet series to my list. I think it will be the darkest read of all but anytime a series gets that many 4 & 5 star ratings - it's well written.
LOL Dawn...that's what usually happens to me! I own it in paperback but wanted the Kindle version...and I think I may add the Audible to it to see if it helps me get into this one.

Thanks for that info, Dawn. That's hilarious...that she "reads" the toothless part!! LOL I'm hoping that audio is the answer for me with this series. Outlander may be my "doing the chores" book to see if I can listen and clean and still get into this book.






I'm on the waiting list for that at the library.

I feel compelled to warn you that Phury's book is a little tough. Just think being in the mind of a drug addict.

After a long book binge with no sleep. It was great but now I have to wait for the next book so I am here sharing my anguished as I am sure you all will understand the feeling of having to wait for the next book in a series. I recommend all 3 books may some of you will read them and share my pain ;)

I love almost every genre of fiction out there. I just have to mix it up. Love good romance, suspense, pnr, historicals, and even some of the new darker NA novels. I tend to binge read series and then have to switch genres for a book or two.

Yeah I thought as much. I'm going to write a review once I have my thoughts together. I did like it better than I thought I would, but mostly for the other plot lines than Phury's.
Me, too, Quynh. Ward really captured the mindset of an addict exceptionally well, which made it tough to stick with. The subplots were excellent.
It's smooth sailing the rest of the way!

Oh, this story was the balm needed after Phury's story. Loved it, too.

The image of Zsadist holding his baby girl... I've been in swooning mode since this morning. lol.

both really good!
Also just got finished with this book called Ultimate Journey...didn't actually make it all the way through it. I was reading it because my cousin wanted me to, to get a look into his brain. It's by Robert Monroe, about OBE's and stuff. Anyone read?


It is definitely a fun book

I have a hummingbird feeder and the birds are interesting to watch!

I do too! It's on my porch and in the summer, I sit in my porch swing or rocking chair and after awhile, they buzz in right by me. I love to watch them...especially when they land on the feeder and actually sit still. Last summer, I had 3 different species of hummingbirds coming in. I'm only know that because they looked so different that I looked them up on the computer! lol

I've been wanting to read something by her. Would love feedback on this title.
