Latoya | 2 comments I am reading Acheron Acheron (Dark-Hunter, #15) by Sherrilyn Kenyon by SK and lord, I am so loving this book. I was a bit put off by the length, (its really two books in one). But I finished the first part in one evening, just could not put it down.
Now I am hesitant to begin reading it again, I want to wait for the right time this evening when kids are asleep so I won't be bothered when I finally begin to read. Somehow I don't think I will sleep tonight.
I thought people were being liberal with their praise when I read the reviews, I now stand corrected.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments ★★★★★ Audios
Saving Grace by Julie Garwood - Rosalyn Landor’s narration elevates to a 5.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern - Only listened to some of this on audio, but both the story and narration (Jim Dale) was excellent (YA genre)

Death Masks (The Dresden Files, #5) by Jim Butcher , by Jim Butcher - Also only listened to some of this on audio, still love this narrator of this series (James Marsters).

Lucky in Love (Lucky Harbor, #4) by Jill Shalvis A “re-read for comfort” - or re-listen - but Narrator Suehyla El Attar does such a great job and I LOVE this story.

★★★★½
Forever and a Day (Lucky Harbor, #6) by Jill Shalvis

Gea (gea89) | 412 comments Compared to last few months I didn't read many books in July. Total is 22 but three of those were rather short just over 100 pages.

Hot: Razer's Ride (The Last Riders, #1) by Jamie Begley The Burn List by Julia Devlin

Contemporary: In Rides Trouble (Black Knights, Inc., #2) by Julie Ann Walker Wild Heat (Hot Shots Men of Fire #1) by Bella Andre
