What are you reading?


Yes. I'd like that too but not sure if he fits her parameters for sexy smirking Frenchmen. :P




That looks really good. I'll have to keep an eye out for it once its pubbed.

decaf?
lol...I was in a cafe a few years ago in a suburb of Sydney called Balmain...very large Italian community.
Anyway, I ordered my large flat white and was waiting for the barista to make it and the next person in line ordered something that made my jaw drop.
Not sure if I'm getting this right but it was something like a skinny, soy, half shot decaf latte.
The barista just looked at her and said, "Get out!"

Are you planning on reading it? You'll have to let me know how it goes, if you do.

I wasn't sure if I would like it since NA is usually a miss for me. I think since the angst is about a guy who's so inside the closet, I really feel his fears.

i'm going to see - i remember seeing it on the R4R list, but it only listed adobe versions and I have a kindle





Excellent! Thanks, Kay. :)

Still working through





I'm going to now read


I think the basic story idea isn't bad but some better research and it could have been great.


As the opening bars of Billy Joel's Uptown Girl are heard echoing around Yellowstone National Park.


Yay!! I really enjoyed that book too! So much better than other New Adult books I've read and I felt like it was very realistic.

It says it's a standalone, but just out of curiosity did either of you read the others?

I haven't. I'm with Kay on not wanting to read f/m NA angst. I've had such bad luck with NA and I think this book being m/m and avoiding the whole "broken female" angle had a lot to do with my enjoyment of it.
Does anyone know other m/m NA books worth reading?


Not sure if it's NA, but Ethan Who Loved Carter was OK.


m/m NA? I have read some m/m YA and of course adult (that you know about too) but not NA.


Yay!! I really enjoyed that boo..."

I generally can't stand NA, lol. That's the only reason I'm interested in this one, because it's M/M. I was just curious about the others. I'll probably just jump in to this one.


Yay!! I really..."
It's because I generally can't stand NA either that I wanted the m/m recs. (And thanks everyone). See, I figure at some point, I'll forget how much it annoys me and want to read it. But if I can avoid the tropes that drive me nuts, maybe my head won't explode. :D


Started




I love Tana French so much! Her second book is my fav. Hope you enjoy In the Woods, Stacia.


Starting



I'm just about to start More to Give by Terri Osburn. I just want to say, Terri Osburn is the shining hope for Contemporary Romance. For a while now the genre has felt a little tired...but Terri Osburn manages to write proper CR that's both original and refreshing.





I don't think much of the cover for Love Me to Death...tattoos like that annoy me even when they're well done but that design is a disaster.
Lucky it was done by somebody art department at Entangled and not by a tattoo artist.
Is the book any good? Has an in the stratosphere rating which doesn't mean much but the idea seems interesting.

I agree. Love Terri Osburn's CRs. Looking forward to your reivew! I was lucky to get a "kindle first" for her last book and was hoping More to Give would be the same but it's not. I'll just have to wait for release day.

I'm not that far in yet, but it's OK so far. It suffers from the whole 'I know my life is in danger, but look at him! Doesn't he look like he's been perfectly sculpted?" syndrome. But if it picks up and moves on from that, there's enough time for recovery.
