What are you reading?
I'm needing some help. There was a book on the GR ad area a few days ago with an Arabian Nights theme/retelling. I thought I'd added it to my TBR because I was interested but I didn't and can't find it now.
I have adblock on my computer, so I'd seen it on my Nook most likely. I think it's a red/brown cover.
If anyone can help me figure this out, I'd appreciate it.
Stacia, is it a newer released book or old?
I think it's new. The ad was recent and it was with all of the other new release ads on the right side of the screen.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Vasic!
I'm in reading limbo. Something naughty Havoc, UF/PNRA Blood Seduction or steamy contemporary Star Crossed or a historical romance...?
Any suggestions?
Star Crossed was actually kind of cute. Not a lot annoyed me, which is rare for me and contemps. Although a fluffy historical could be fun too.

Fluffy historicals? I did like Julia Quinn's Bridgertons. That's as fluffy as I get. I wish Joanna Bourne had something new. Hmph. I have reviews to write. (Procrastinating).
I'm reading Meljean Brook's novella
No Kleypas? That makes me sad. I'm such a fan of her wit.

That is my one problem with this book. As much as I love Kaleb and Sahara I missed the light heartedness of the changelings.
Stacia ~ Vixen of Variety wrote: "No Kleypas? That makes me sad. I'm such a fan of her wit."I like Kleypas. Lord Marcus Westcliff is my man! lol I guess I can dig around her old stuff and see if there's anything I missed.
There's over 100 books on my shelf, Kindle, and NOOK. Just not feeling overly interested in stuff I have, not that I've browsed through my piles recently. :(
I'll enjoy Riveted. MJ gives me the happy happy joy joys with her Iron Sea series. Good stuff. :o)
I'm reading
and enjoying it a lot. Although I wonder how heavy she is...she eats so much sugar!

I'm reading
. I loved the first book. It was so much fun and cute. I think I'm going to read
next since I got the snippet from Amazon and it hooked me.
Jenn, I love the Her Royal Spyness books!
Me, too, Lori! I'm glad my local library has them all.
Oooh, Deb - I liked "Tangled". It was fun to have an honest guy's POV. (A little more uptown from Dex of Dex & Perry.)
Tangled is on my list for the month. It looks fun.Btw, I found the book I was looking for. It was
Hi everyone, I have been busy with work and then I was camping and away from internet. I am finishing up
and it is just okay. Not as well done or well written as her previous books IMO.I am listening to
and I love it all over again. The audio is great and I actually forgot a lot of the story. I was worried it would be less fantastic the 2nd time around, but it is even better.I should be officially starting
tonight as soon as I finish Come Alive.

I started
last night.
I finished reading
...this was a fun British YA. Now reading a book I got from Netgalley...
.
@Domino...It's hellish hot! Our swimming pool feels like bath water. @Regina...I didn't realize Angelfall was in audio version. Book 2 is supposed to release this November...Finally!!!
@Deb...Tangled has loads of rave reviews. Must get to it soon. Enjoy!
@Stacia...Yay! You found your book!
I'm reading Tethered and enjoying Archimedes Fox. Love the letters between Him and his sister. I hope she gets a book. Meljean Brooks Guardian series did not work for me, but I adore her Iron Seas series!
I finished
last night - really liked it even though some of the 70s language wasn't right and there were a few other goofs but the story was great and made up for the boo-boos. It got me in the mood to read a book that's been sitting on my shelf for a year or so
which I've started (Led-head here, married to a Deadhead).

and s..."Once it reaches over 100 it is time to move. Eff the heat! I do not like the heat, and it does not like me. I was miserable and it just reached upper 90s.
Phoenix... Vegas... yep, I think we're in for major heat this July/August. We've had fairly low summer heat temps the past few years; I expect this summer to have a lot of record heat breaking temps. It's been 115+ in Vegas, and looks to stay that way for awhile.
You ladies are crazy. I can't tolerate heat like that at all. I get nauseous and horrible migraines from the heat.
Thank goodness for the marvelous invention called the air conditioner! lol
I prefer fresh air but when it gets this hot, bring on the AC!
I don't like when it's over 90s either. Can't stand it. But I'm not very good with really cold weather either.I've been living in NY for almost 15 years and I'm still not used to the weather - too hot in summer, too cold in winter. My husband says it's because I grew up in weather that it was pretty much the same all year round so I can't take the variation.
I prefer the cold over the heat. I have lived in Southern California for most of my life and can't imagine living anywhere else.
Finished reading
which I found to be just ok for me. I really liked Hawke though, so maybe I'll just read the book about him, though I won't continue the series.I'm going to start reading
.
I am actually reading
instead of he Piper's Son.
Courtney wrote: "I really liked Hawke though, so maybe I'll just read the book about him, though I won't continue the series."If you didn't like it, I'll recommend you don't read any more books. Hawke's book is #10 so you will be really lost if you jump that many books, specially because there a like a million characters in the book with lots of background (including a big secondary romance.) This is one of those series that really needs to be read in order because the world is very intricate and builds over each book.
I guess you could read the romance parts but then him being the Alpha means he's involved in a lot of the politics and as you can see from our discussions about the world, even us faithful readers are not 100% on the details. :)
D.G. - That's why I really don't like series and try not to get into them, especially if they're about different people. And I'll follow your recommendation then since I didn't particularly like how the PsyNet was explained. Thanks for the heads up.
I hear you, Courtney. That's one of the reasons I didn't continue reading the In Death series. I didn't like it enough to read 30+ books.
I finished
The ending made up for a lot of the faults with having an only Dex POV. I'm going to read
next. I hear it's good - Thanks for the Rec. Stacia.
I hope you like it Leea!Finished
the other night and liked it but didn't love it. The start and finish were great but the middle dragged. Although, I loved the male lead Duval and devoured the assassination scenes. I hear book 2 blows book 1 out of the water though, so I'm looking forward to it. Finished
and it was so much fun! It's a fast little read (maybe a half hour) and far less taboo than you're expecting. I think it's almost like a grown-up Beauty and the Beast with the way the story progresses. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a short and super-steamy read.
I just started
. I'm already addicted to this series. It was a rec from a friend, otherwise I don't think I would have looked twice at this series :)
Ohh, I love me some Dex & Perry. Enjoy the journey Lexi!Stacia, I already read 1/4 of the book. So far so good.
Yay!Regina, I ended up watching episode 1 of Tipping the Velvet online last night and it's pretty close to the book so far. I'll probably watch episode 2 tonight. I really like who they chose for Nan.
I had no idea this was on tv! What network? So cool. I wonder if I can get the first episode.
It was a BBC production a few years back but I watched it online, since neither Netflix or Amazon Prime had it for streaming. If you want to know more go ahead and inbox me, so I don't step over a line with group discussion.
Had to have a palate cleanser after all the steamy contemp romances I was reading... If I haven't raved about
yet - WOW! And if I did, please forgive the repeat. I haven't given a proper review to this book yet, but it's got some of everything in it. Except steam - it's implied, a bit, but not obvious.Just finished
by Paula Quinn - it's been on my TBR shelf forever! It was good, but not outstanding. I think the plot points went beyond my suspension of disbelief, because this novel's not historically accurate in many ways other than James VII/James II and his enemies. 1. The MacGregor clan never had land on the Isle of Skye (that I can find). 2. The MacGregor clan was, I believe, still not in favor with the king at this time. (But I could be wrong.) 3. The idea that James had another daughter that he'd sent away to an Abbey... well, that's not as far-fetched as it might sound, but still strains belief.Probably diving into another Highland romance and trying to get through a few Netgalley books that I've been approved for. Taking advantage of some time to myself to read.
Lori, it's been on my TBR list for a long time also.I'm still reading
and it's really good but I have a feeling that all this foreplay is just going to drive me crazy - with wanting them to be together.
I'm still reading
which had a slow boring beginning that I skimmed. It started getting good once the band was formed and did their first U.S. tour in '68. Some parts of each band member's early daze is interesting but there was more info, like what each album they collected EVER and who inspired them. Some of that is interesting but my eyes glazed over after awhile and well, dozed. But it's getting good now.On my ipod, I'm listening to book #2
of the Zombie Fallout series. Love the humor! And the family fighting zombies angle.

Some things just stick more for some people than others. My husband makes fun of me b/c I tend to remember all the little useless things in our life while he remembers all the major things that seem to forget! Hahah. I guess, my mind just remembers what it chooses to remember.
