Im bouncing all over the board with what I am reading lmao... Today its a couple of short reads I brought to work.... A Wallflower Christmas (Book 5 in the Wallflower series by Lisa Kleypas), Rapture in Death (Book 4 I believe in the In Death Series by JD Robb)

[Layali]

The scottish prisoner by Diana Gabaldon I was a little reluctant to start this series between it and the Outlander series I felt that I would be overwhelmed but, I'm glad I started it I'm enjoying it very much

[Samantha]

I'm working my way through

[Courtney]

Finished which just didn't pull me in and some of the scenes were kind of confusing.

Going to start .

[Courtney]

Finished which was a nice story for a really short book.

Starting .

i've heard that a lot about Joey w. Hill's vampire books - I love her BDSM sereis, but the vampire ones seem to leave a lot of ppl disappointed

[Regina]

I was not impressed with Laura Kaye's Hard Ink series. I keep trying her books b/c I loved Hearts in Darkness so much. But nothing else she writes compares.

Agreed. I really good read. I recommend it.

i didn't mind the 2 that she wrote for entangled press - I think she is an author who actually does really good at the novella length and not necessarily a full-novel (does that make sense?)

[Regina]

Which ones are those Dee? I would love to give them a try.

I think that may be true for her. Many romance, romantic suspense and PNR books are good in the beginning (for me) but 2/3 of the way through they fizzle. So I can see why she would be better in a novella format.

[Dee]

One Night with a Hero and Her Forbidden Hero

[Regina]

Cool, thank you.

[Dee]

np - they are decent for what they are - typically I like entangled's stuff

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished and really liked it. I'm in the mood to rewatch Island of Dr. Moreau now.

Finished . Not good. Too many idiot characters.

Still working on and started

I liked Headmaster. It reminds you of (view spoiler)[The Sixth Sense (hide spoiler)].

That was my first thought upon finishing the book, too.

[Regina]

The title "Magic Embrace" is pretty funny.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Yeah, it is. It's an older bodice ripper, so I figured it went with the time period.

[Tellulah]

I think has ruined me for all other books. THIS is how you finish a trilogy. The only downside is that I have no idea what I can possibly read and enjoy half as much next.

[Regina]

Agreed!!

[Domino (aka Meme)]

started . liking it so far.

[Regina]

So I am stuck! I don't know what to read. Nothing sounds appealing!!

I may read these but I am not sure.

[Courtney]

Finished , which was just alright to me.

Started .

[Ian]

Quite a stressful sad week.
Roscoe, my little dog was hit by a car and died. Then late last week I was talking to a breeder thinking I would put my name on a waiting list but they said they had a little dog which someone else had backed out of so on Saturday I drove to Katoomba (to meet the breeder half way) and came home with a little bundle of fluff eating and pooping machine. Her name is Bella (name chosen by Stacia)...well the Bell was chosen by Ace, I changed it from Belle to Bella.




Oh books...right...
I'll finish The Void today. I started Jennifer Estep's latest, Black Widow last night. I finished Dreamer's Pool by Juliet Marillier a couple of days ago.

[Dee]

i'm sorry about your puppy being killed Ian :( but what a cute baby

[Regina]

Oh Ian. I am so sorry!

[ᴥ Irena ᴥ]

Sorry about Roscoe, Ian. Bella is adorable!

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

I'm so sorry about your puppy, Ian! But congratulations on the new little girl. :)

Have you read Burn for Me yet?

Sorry to hear about your dog, Ian.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Ian, so sorry about Roscoe. Looks like you got a cute dog to love. Good luck, puppies are like babies...

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

Leea! Have you been doing undercover work somewhere?

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Ha! No undercover work, although, that would be cool. Just haven't been interested in read. Last book I read and loved was Wild.

[Ian]

Thank you all. Roscoe was much loved and will be missed.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

So...I'm pretty sure I'm going to meet my reading goal for the year, but I feel like a fraud since I adjusted it a few months ago to three quarters of what it originally was.

[Samantha]

Don't feel like that, Angie. I don't get caught up in the reading challenges. The goal is to read and have fun.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

LMAO, please... you are not a fraud! I started this year with my loftiest goal yet, 150. That was a joke. About 3 months into the year I adjusted it down to my usual 100. After that, when I was nearly 30 books behind schedule I adjusted it down to 75! I'm still 2 books behind, lmao. And that's because I read some novellas.

It's been a rough reading year for a lot of people. :)

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

My job is deadline driven, Sam. I really need to work to keep that out of my reading life! LOL

This did start out as a rough reading year for me, but it got much better once I made the decision to read only books I knew had been edited.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

I think summertime is just hard. I only have one child and still those summer months are killer for me when it comes to doing anything 'mom oriented' recreational.

Once she went back to school and life evened out I was able to really get back into picking up books.

I don't even think I'm going to sign up for the reading challenge for 2015. I always keep a shelf for the year, just so I know how many I read, but the added stress of being 'behind' based on an arbitrary number I selected January 1st for the year just seems silly.

Wait - you mean you all don't ignore your kid(s) to read? Uh, yeah. No, neither do I.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Ha!! I didn't mean that I was necessarily taking care of her. More like forced into parental activities that I normally try to avoid.

[Regina]

My reading count is the lowest since before 2009. But I am okay with it. My life is just different now.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

I am too. Reading is my relaxer, so I don't want to do things that make it stressful and challenging myself makes me feel intimidated and I look at it too often. I don't need Goodreads pressuring me to read faster.

[Regina]

So true! This is for fun. :)

Also, I don't know if reading is my main hobby anymore or even my relaxer. Reading from 2009-early 2013 was my only release and my only hobby. It just isn't anymore. :)

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

LOL, that's how I was prior to the discovery of Goodreads.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

I just adjusted my reading goal to 24 books for this year. That's crazy for me, I just haven't been reading but i'd like to read one last book this year.

[Samantha]

I totally understand, Angie. I was like that too but with work and real life, I don't want to add that pressure of worrying about the reading goals. I need reading to take me away from all the life stuff...not add drama to it :)

[Tellulah]

Totally agree about not wanting to do anything stressful around reading. I think that's why I'm no longer reviewing anything under a 3 star read. Or even keeping track of those books. Which means giving up book counts. But I'm okay with that. I didn't want to be in a reading race anyway.

[Courtney]

Skimmed through which was not my cup of tea. The writing style didn't rub well with me as well as the dialogue. Also finished which was alright.

Started .

[Tellulah]

THought on NG was a lot of fun. A bit wordy but good.
