What a gorgeous read! I can't recommend this book enough.

[Courtney]

Finished , which I loved! British authors tend to be so witty and hilarious. There were some parts that grated on my nerves, like how long it took for the resolution, and the ebook had a lot of errors where it was missing part of the dialogue. It was pretty strange.

[Regina]

Tellulah I LOVED that book. Loved it.

What did you read afterwards? Because I swear I've started three books this afternoon and none of them have held my interest after it. :P Seriously though, I think certain books are meant to cross our paths at certain points in our lives and I very much needed to have that one cross mine.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

Finally read and loved ! Now it's on to !

[Regina]

Telllulah, I just checked what I read and it looks like I immediately switched back to genre fiction, UF, RS and some favorite authors of mine.

The Interestings has stayed with me, even more than a year later. It is such an amazing story. The marriage of Jules and her husband's sacrifices and her waffling still stick with me. The beauty of the setting of how they all met, just really good stuff. Have you read other stuff by her?

[Regina]

So I dnfed the story and audio are well done, just not for me.

I am listening to -- I am excited because it has taken awhile for this to come out in audio.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Wow... I didn't realize you hadn't read that one yet! How did you avoid spoilers?

I haven't but I definitely want to now. Have you read her other work? I found myself really identifying with Jules and this question of what makes us happy, what is creative success, and, like her, remembering to appreciate what's important in my life.

[Regina]

I know Wendy. And it has been hard since I live with someone who finished the series. :) I just put it back as to read because I am playing Bingo on SOS and I want to read it for the shelf that is called today. :)

Tellulah, I agree. The concept of being happy was fascinating to me. Also the idea of young crushes and evolving or not evolving pas them. And how we can love someone but never be attracted to them.

Several years ago I read it was written in the same way The Interestings was - and it was compelling. The book was a slice of this community's life and we got a peek in. But I didn't love it. I plan on reading one of her other books some time soon, but I am not sure which one.

[Ian]

Want to read an amazing ghost story? Ghouls Rush In is amazing. It isn't even a ghost story for the first 20%...and it doesn't get amazing until around the 50% mark...but of boy, I'm getting shivers up and down my spine.

Hahaha, I finished the series and I remember talking about it. I guess that was surprised that you hadn't gotten any spoilers.

Heads up for any Kindle users--

I just called customer support because my Personal Documents were not being delivered to my Kindle. While I was on the phone, the woman got an email saying this is a system error on their end and they are fixing it. Thank GOD my Kindle is in full working order!

[Regina]

Oh weird! Thank you. :)

[Kay]

I finished and liked it. It was better than some new adult books I've read but I still don't think NA is for me.

Not too sure what to read next but thinking about The Law of Attraction.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

[Tellulah]

Read um, yes. Delivered as promised.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

adding to my list of reads this week. this'll be my first manga read. although i love anime =D

[Ian]

Not a big fan of the bishounen (beautiful boy) thing that seems to be quite prevalent in Japanese pop-culture at the moment. I'm having a bit of a break at the moment but for a while I was involved in self defence classes and there was a young Japanese guy there. It used to drive me insane how much time he spent checking himself out in the big studio mirrors.
It's really strange (to me) but there are Japanese men who spend much more on beauty products than women.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

haha Ian! too funny. yeah, they are some pretty guys. i'm pretty used to it. and as long as they aren't so pretty they look like girls, i'm cool with it.
i watched this anime in high school called Fushigi Yuugi and i loved it. it had some pretty guys in there too, but all but one was straight and they all loved the main girl lead. i still own that set today. hehe.
this is my first m/m anime, but i read m/m novels and love them. i thought i'd give the anime scene a try in print. i'm liking it too. it has that humor i like in anime.

[Regina]

I just started

NA has been incredibly hit or miss for me--mostly miss. I have found a few authors that have worked for me, and I stick mostly with them. The market is so saturated that it's hard to find the diamond in the rough.

[Dee]

What Angie said! I hate the whole NA - person had to have major tragedy (rape, assault, preggo, death of a BF) for there to be a story

Agreed.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Yep, I agree with that too. That's exactly how I feel about NA.

[Courtney]

Finished .

Going to start since I love Susan Elizabeth Phillips.

[Kay]

My reading life has been so blah lately so I haven't been posting much. I hope everyone is having better luck with your reading.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

finished and it was good. now on to and i'm hooked already. also gonna start

[Courtney]

Finished , which was pretty good.

Going to start .

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I started last night.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

Same. I just haven't been able to read with the same ferocity that I was a few months ago. If I manage to finish one book over a 2 week period, I'm doing good.

About 30% into . I realized that I had saved Trey's book for last because it had been published out of order and I wanted to read the books in the order intended...then I never ended up reading his book. So I decided to finally finish out the series.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

The next book from Kit Rocha's Beyond series is 'Read Now' on Netgalley. I think a lot of people in this group have read that. I can't remember. Anyway, it's up for review!

[Tellulah]

Got off of NG. I felt like it had a lot of elements that should have played out really well for me - Italy, Italian guys, musician on tour, sweet romance, but ultimately, there was no chemistry between me and the book.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I started .

[Domino (aka Meme)]

i've finished Beauty from Surrender and it was good. not as good as the first and it seemed the male lead changed a bit.
now i'm listening to and i love it. this is by far my favorite series of the year so far. it's freaking HOT and hilarious at times. this one also has some deep emotional pain as well. right up my alley =D

Would I need to read the first two in this series?

i'd have to say yes, because there are references and scenes in this book (recaps) that are explained better in the previous two bks. if u did just pick this one up u could follow, but u would miss the good stuff from the other two.
plus u don't wanna miss bk one. it's HOT too, and that's where u meet all the guys for the first time =D

[Courtney]

Finished and continuing on with the Sirantha Jax series with .

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I finished , and now I am going to pick back up and try to make it through this time.

Thanks!

[Tellulah]

- fabulous
- really good
Worlds End - not bad

Next up a little Christopher Moore. Think I need the funny again.

[Dee]

Which Moore Tellulah? I've found, aside from Lamb, his others are enjoyable, but not as hilariously funny as Lamb which I loved

[Domino (aka Meme)]

finished Hot Ticket and i loved it. now on to bk4

[Leea, Escape Artist]

I'm finally back to reading! I started with Wendy F. She saved me again!! So far i'm about 18% into it and I really like the world that's developing.

Hope everyone is doing great and those in the states had a relaxing Memorial Day.

It's the kids last week of school and I cannot wait for summer!

That's been my experience too, Dee. Although I did enjoy Bite Me almost as much as Lamb. This is the new one Serpent of Venice and the hardcover is so gorgeous, I'd read it for that alone.

[Dee]

i didn't mind bite me, and A dirty job was ok...but yeah...I listened to Sacre Bleu and was kind of disappointed

I'm liking it too! We should both be thanking Regina!

I missed Sacre Bleu. Maybe I didn't miss much ...

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Thanks Regina!!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished and I completely hated it, which is too bad since I loved books 3 and 4.

Started which is cute so far.
