I got it off Netgalley... Are you starting it now? I'd buddy read it with you :)

[Kay]

Leea, sure...I can start tonight :)

[Marcella]

Welcome back D.G.!!!

[Regina]

Welcome back DG. I hope your first day at work went smoothly.

I finished - I read it in one sitting and enjoyed it!

[Leea, Escape Artist]

When did we all decide to read Covet? I can't remember lol.

Kay, let me double check try arc's before we start. Should be home in a couple of hours.

[Kay]

Ok, Leea...let me know.

Not sure when we decided about Covet. It was pushed out a couple of times...probably should get to it soon since it will be out next month.

[Ian]

Definition of the ultimate rejection...

...being declined for a book that I didn't even request. lol

Was approved for Take Me Home for Christmas by Brenda Novak and will start that as soon as I've finished Raw Deal by mark Henwick.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I'm starting Covet on the 24th, I think.

Who declined you for a book?

[Ian]

The Writer's Coffee House. I'm not even sure what the book was but I've only requested one book in the past week and was approved for it.

Ok. I'm glad you said that Ian, because there have been a few times when I've been approved for a book when I swear I didn't request it. I thought maybe I was just getting old, but I'm hoping it's a netgalley thing.

[Marcella]

I've never even heard about that place. Is it like a library and you request a book?

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Writer's Coffee *edit because Ian screwed me up* Shop is a publisher on Netgalley.

Welcome back! Hope you enjoy Exiled Queen. :)

Kay wrote: "Okay, let's do Thursday. Her books are fast reads anyway. Looking forward to reading about Abel...another book about a older woman and younger man ;)"

Thursday it is!


For some reason, I thought we were doing Covet toward the end of the month, but holy crap, it's already the 19th! Are we still doing the Linda Howard book on the 26th?

[Ian]

Marcella wrote: "I've never even heard about that place."

Oops should be The Writer's Coffee Shop. They're a small publisher but have some quality authors. I read A Thin Dark Line about a year ago which is one of their titles and pretty good.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

starting . wanted to add another title to the menage challenge =D

Either way Ian I have never heard of it. Ha ha!

[Leea, Escape Artist]

I totally have lost my mind with all our buddy reads... I can't keep it straight, so I'm relying on you guys to tell me when to read, what book. LOL!

Kay, sorry it was a crazy night, non stop since 6am... Yes, lets read it. Hope you get this in time :)

[Regina]

We need a shared google calendar for buddy reads! Lol.

[Kay]

Yay Leea, I started it about 30 minutes ago.

So, I will shoot to start Covet this Sunday.

[Kay]

Regina wrote: "We need a shared google calendar for buddy reads! Lol."

Haha...that would be helpful.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Seriously... haha! Not a bad idea. I just can't keep real life and my reading life straight. It's been one of those days.

I finished and I really enjoyed it! I liked how the relationship between the father and his daughter came about naturally. He didn't push her but let her get to know him.

Now i'm going to read , love this cover! Can't wait to start this tomorrow, i'm just too tired tonight.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished and liked it but really only took away the dairy creamer explosion scene.

[Regina]

LOL -- meaning that is the one you remember? It was good, but not as blow my mind amazing as the first one. I gave it 3.5ish/4 stars.

I just started -- and it is so good!

I am trying to write my review for and I am just stumped. I enjoyed the book, the characters and cried like crazy but I really really hate (view spoiler)[ the ending (hide spoiler)]

[Kay]

Regina, about Me Before You...I agree with you about(view spoiler)[the ending. I really thought that Will would change his mind at the end. After reading, I thought he was so selfish for making the decision that he did. I was so mad that he wouldn't even give it a try!! But then I really thought about it. He really couldn't get over who he use to be before the accident and he felt that he could never be that man for Lou. Even though Lou was willing to be in this relationship despite his disabilities, Will just wouldn't/couldn't accept it. If he lived, their relationship would come with challenges and I know Lou would have fully accepted it but I also think that Will wanted her to live her life to the fullest without him giving her obstacles. In some ways he was being selfless because after he died, Lou was left all that money and now, she can pursue her dreams and live the life that Will wanted her to live. Don't get me wrong...I still hate how it ended but I think it is a realistic decision and I can see why Will chose it. (hide spoiler)]

[Lori]

Got last night, but I started a Psycop marathon yesterday... just couldn't resist after the chatter about the series here. I trust your opinions, and seeing how much those of you who've read the series like it, I started in. (See that thread for more.)

Liking that series, but it threw me a bit. And it continues to do that as I read. It's a good, but somewhat uncomfortable feeling. I'm used to knowing or guessing what comes next, and this series sweeps me along so quickly, I don't have much time to think ahead. Sure, I can peg people or things, but it's just... so quick.

BTW, my sister continues to get better each day. She's had several follow-up appointments yesterday and today; all seems to be going well!

[Sandra]

Read and liked . I'll read the next one but not now. Some gore scene left me willing for something lighter:

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

congratulations on your sister's speedy recovery!

[D.G.]

Thanks ladies. :) I'm semi-freaking out because I have a business trip to Costa Rica (I'm leaving on Saturday) and I feel I have like a million things to do!

I've listened to tons of bad PNR recently in the hopes of finding something sexy . So far no luck!

[Marcella]

Wicked Cravings was not as good as book 1, IMO.

I did too... loathed it and boy was I pissed.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Kay, what do you think so far of ? I'm 14% in Chap 6 (view spoiler)[ Nichole just got taken and Riker has her. It does seem like they'll have a lot of issues to work thru and i'm interested to know what she's working on and how her nanny really died (hide spoiler)] Off to read more :)

[Regina]

Lori I am thrilled for you and your family!

[Kay]

Leea, it's ok so far. I'm still a little confused about the world. (view spoiler)[ Do you know what/who the poachers and hunters are? I know that they are ruthless but how did they become that way and what's their purpose? I do also want to find out the truth about the nanny who meant so much to both of them. I guess we'll just have to see... (hide spoiler)]

[Regina]

Kay and Leea, I was pissed too!

Kay, (view spoiler)[ I thought it was selfish too. He couldn't give her 6 months? A year? Because he lived a "big" life? The idea that his life was more important or better b/c he traveled and had a big job rubbed me the wrong way. I get working toward potential and living life to the fullest, but his then disdain for everything that wasn't what he used to be bothered me. (hide spoiler)]

[Ian]

Has anyone ever read anything by Lauraine Snelling? I saw a book which sounds like I might enjoy it Wake the Dawn: A Novel but it only has one rating (3 Stars) and I noticed listopia has it in lists of Christian fiction.
I don't mind christian themed books but I hate books that moralize.

[Kay]

Regina...Me Before You (view spoiler)[ that's the thing...before his accident, he had that arrogant attitude about his life and afterwards, I think he still did about his former self. His personality wouldn't let him forget it and I don't think he would have been truly happy if he lived...even if Lou was by his side. I can see why it would rub you the wrong way. I really wanted him to give her more time but I think his mind was made up regardless of Lou and that he would have chosen the same path eventually. (hide spoiler)]

[Kay]

Ian, I haven't read any Christian fiction. Are there any you would recommend? I've been wanting to try . Have you read that one?

[Ian]

Kay wrote: "Ian, I haven't read any Christian fiction."

Honestly I've only ever stumbled into it accidentally. I think Searock has read some Amish fiction so she's probably a better person to ask.
What I've read has been a little too saccharin sweet...kind of like "I was a skanky ho (although the definition of skanky ho in christian fiction seems to be someone who had a sip of beer at a party)...then Jesus saved me and now I'm Mother Theresa"

The only Christian book I've really enjoyed is called Joshua by J.F. Girzone.

Hahahha Ian!! You have me cracking up!!

[Regina]

Haha, not my kind of story at all.

[Lori]

Kay wrote: "Ian, I haven't read any Christian fiction. Are there any you would recommend? I've been wanting to try . Have you read that one?"

Kay, I've not read Redeeming Love, but I have read her Mark of the Lion series, starting with . I liked that trilogy - it's historical, set in Roman times when being a Christian still meant possibly facing lions in the arena.

[Kay]

Thanks, Lori. I'm adding it to my list. I like the Rome setting.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Kay wrote: "Leea, it's ok so far. I'm still a little confused about the world. [spoilers removed]"

I thought the poachers were (view spoiler)[ humans out hunting vamps for parts? I'm at 23% and they're in the cave and Nicole just helped cure Riker. (hide spoiler)]

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Regina wrote: "Kay and Leea, I was pissed too!

Kay, [spoilers removed]"

About Me Before You, I felt like the book was meant to challenge the reader's views on (view spoiler)[assisted suicide. By building up sympathy for the character's plight, it makes the reader wonder if this should be allowed. (hide spoiler)]

The ending worked, I think. Anything else would have left the book unremarkable and common.

I've read that. I liked it but I can't say that it was a favorite.

I think I have a lot of Rivers' books on my desktop, including that Mark of the Lion series. I might try it sometime.

Ian wrote: "Peggy Z wrote: "so am getting back to A Discovery of Witches thanks to Ladyhawk! "

I've been putting it off for so long. I hear so many good things about it and then I think 'nearly 600 pages'......"

Ian, "nearly 600 pages"...lol! Have you read any of the Outlander series? They're all at least 800-900 pages. But then I'm one of those who loves long books.

[Peggyzbooksnmusic]

@Lisa, Let ladyhawk and I know when you're ready for although no hurry as I'm still reading on Kindle (4th time and it's becoming my fav in the series this time!) plus I still need to read and write a review since I feel a little guilty that I won it as a give-away here on Goodreads and it's still sitting on my TBR book table! And I'm only about 1/2 through

Wish I could read as fast as I did when I was younger!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished and it was so darn adorable. I smiled a lot while reading it. And it was short, so you got right to the good stuff!

[Leea, Escape Artist]

That looks good :) Glad you liked it, smiling and reading is a wonderful feeling.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

finished reading Twice Tempted and it was great. can't wait for the next one. now listening to .
