Finished . The writing was shaky and the editing was weak. Plus, a few moments didn't really make all that much sense. BUT...it was a sweet romance and I liked the time travel/pirate ship adventure side of it. So even with some complaints, I'm glad I read it.

Still working on and started (finally) .

I've been wanting to read that book for a while. I can't wait to see what you think of it.

Finished..."

I finished Seraphina, Stacia. Good story but the pacing was slow. The were too many details. OMG! Drove me wild.

[Ian]

I think I'll get Seraphina. Looks interesting.

Well let me know what you think, Ian.

[Kay]

I finished over the weekend and it was okay.

I also met Stephanie Perkins yesterday! She was so nice and very honest with the depression she went through before completing Isla and the Happily Ever After. While Perkins was talking, a young girl collapsed and went into a seizure! An ambulance was called and the girl turned out to be ok. It was so very crazy!

Anyway....here's the pic that I took with her: https://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/...

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

Heads up for those of you who read Nalini Singh...a book just came up for reqeust on NG.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

About halfway through and I'm loving it.

Started for a buddy read.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

finally started my listen . i've been waiting impatiently for this audiobook. hehe

[Leea, Escape Artist]

I started Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail... I'm really looking forward to reading this journey.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I think I opened the floodgates with my very first DNF. I have another one, and I'll be honest. I love the idea that I don't have to push through it, and instead get to read something I'm hopefully going to love!

[Kay]

Reading time is precious so DNF'ing a book is ok, Angie. I use to feel like I had to finish every book I read but not anymore. LOL

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

That is so true, Kay, and with the market so saturated right now, I feel like it's harder to sift through.

I'm curious--do any of you have a rule of thumb about where you stop reading a book? I don't really have one, but I made it about a third of the way through each book, and I feel like that is enough time for the author to capture my attention if he/she is going to.

[Kay]

I read a book up to 20% and if it doesn't get any better by then, I stop reading.

I do agree that there's so many books to filter through before you find a good book. I also decided not to read many indie authors just bc I haven't had any luck with most.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I just started .

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I finished and loved . Jennifer Ashley is one of those authors that has been on my list to try for ages, but for some reason I just haven't. This story really intrigued me and made me want to know more about Ian Mackenzie. I can't wait to go back and read the rest of this series!

Now on to .

[Courtney]

I finished which was a decent YA novel.

Going to start .

[Tellulah]

Got and bummed that it turned out to be an DNF for me since I love her books about the MacKenzie brothers.

[Samantha]

Oh wow. What made it an DNF, Tellulah? I like that series.

[Dee]

i was going to ask same thing Tellulah...now i'm scared

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished . Loved. Loved. Loved. Loved. Loved. I smiled practically the entire time I was reading it. And there was a wonderful sensual scene on a set of stairs which I filed away with my Georgina Kincaid book 4 office scene for favorites of all time.

Leea - I think you'd really like this. Maybe Wendy too.

[Ian]

I'm completely addicted to Wildfire. It's a kind of rough maybe even brash story about a woman who joins the Hotshots, firefighters who battle fires with shovels and chainsaws.

And I just started Until the end of the world which is about zombies. Not sure yet, it's a promising start but you can't judge a zombie book until the survivors find themselves trapped in a supermarket.

[Samantha]

Supermarket or convenient store. The gas station. Then you know you are in a good zombie story :)

[Ian]

lol....George Romero has a lot to answer for. Speaking of whom, am I the only one who has noticed how much like a zombie George Romero is starting to look?

The two lovers just bored me. I found them both just very surface without anything interesting going on. I think I managed about a third of the book before I just couldn't push through anymore. I don't know. Maybe I'm going through a weird HR slump because I seem to be DNFing a lot of them lately. Which is too bad because HR is a happy place for me.

[Samantha]

Oh ok. Sometimes you got to DNF

[Kay]

This week I finished which I really enjoyed. Then I finished a historical western, which was good. Now, I'm reading a time-travel historical, ....really liking it so far.

Ian speaks truth. That is a funny connection.

Awesome!

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Oh thanks for the rec. Stacia - I put in on the TBR pile.

I finished and it was a very moving and emotional story. Not going to lie, I plan on hiking a bit of the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) when in Bend next month. I just have this feeling that I need to set foot near where Cheryl's journey took her.

Next up, . My hubby is reading it and said I needed to catch up so we could talk about this book. Sounds fun!

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend :)

[Dee]

Leea - I hope you like GG - it seems to be love or hate - I loved but total kind-fuck

[Ian]

Lol ... is that Up or down from a pity-f__k?

[Lizzie]

Just started on

[Ian]

It's not really Romance...nor is it YA, though it has been listed as both for some reason...what it is though is one of my best 5 books of the year.



There is this saying about Swing music. 'Hitting the notes isn't as important as getting into the groove'. And I'd say that for this book, it's a little rough around the edges...and I hope the publisher leaves that roughness, it totally suits the brash and crass world of remote area fire fighters (Hotshots).

[Dee]

Ugh that should have been mind-fuck!!

[Samantha]

Dee wrote: "Ugh that should have been mind-fuck!!"

Lol. I think We figured it out.

I tried the audio of that but the narrator got on my nerve. I couldn't take it. I do want to read the actual book because of the mind fuck. Lol.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I finished , and have started .

[Dee]

Sam - its an alternating narrator - a guy and a girl -Kirby Heywood and Julia Wheldon - Julia won best romance audiobook narrator the last year I think

[Samantha]

I want to read Me Before You.

Dee, I couldn't get past dude's voice. He messed me up. I tried. I don't know what it was about him. I need to pick up the book from the library. I think the movie is coming out.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Ian wrote: "Lol ... is that Up or down from a pity-f__k?"

LMAO!

[Dee]

the movie comes out in a couple of months

[Regina]

That book made me so mad. But I couldn't put it down.

[Samantha]

Dee wrote: "the movie comes out in a couple of months"

I'll be ready.
