Debbie - this sounds like a book I'd enjoy. I have been checking it out on and off. Will have to see about getting it. One more 'thunk' to my TBR pile ☺
what series were you all planning for 2014?@ezi - so why did you feel the need to share miss cyrus with us? hat did we do to annoy you so much?
@deb - I tried to go back to that moning book - I still hated it. I am not gonna read the last two in that series.
@Melissa - let me know when you're ready
Ezinwanyi~For you, Agron wrote: "Megan, I would invite you but I believe you don't read PNR/UF stuff...do you read straight romances though? "My reading is pretty eclectic, I'll read pretty much any genre. I do read romances, just don't like when they have sex/steamy scenes, not my thing, off screen is one thing, but I don't want to read the details. I also prefer there to be no swearing, but I have read books with some and as long as it fits the story and isn't every word it doesn't bother me too much.
I think I've read some books that would be classified as PNR (that's paranormal romance, right?) and a couple that are UF. I like paranormal stuff once in a while, but my favorite to read is historical.
~Melissa~ wrote: "Thanks Megan.>> Glad you liked yours as well. I have to agree that it seems sometimes when authors get into the middle/end of a series they tend to rush right when I'd like them to slow down,lol. Then there are other authors that add way too much fluff and could cut out a good 50-75 pages off their books - those I feel like maybe they are getting paid by a word count. "
Exactly. I've read some like that and they are so annoying!

Pat - what books are you up to in GoE and Pride Shelley Laurenston. I could BR either of them with you and Ezi. Are you starting at #1. I could re-read them. I ♥ Laurenston - she cracks me up and I'm not that far into GoE - in fact I think you may have been who recommended it to me.
@Ezi - Leslie and I are gong to do a BR of Virgin river series next year as well as Midnight Breed series. I also want to continue Sherrilyn Kenyon - (I'm so far behind) and Immortal after Dark. Any of that sound good?
Megan - I see you are a Dr Who fan. Are you planning to go and see the 50 year anniversary Special 3D movie event later this month?
~Melissa~ wrote: "Megan - I see you are a Dr Who fan. Are you planning to go and see the 50 year anniversary Special 3D movie event later this month?"It would be so great and such an experience, haven't decided yet (don't know if I can convince anyone else to go and I don't want to go by myself), but I'm definitely going to be watching it at home. David Tennant's back, and so is Billie Piper, and that makes me so happy! The only thing that could make it better is if River Song and Captain Jack were going to be in it too. :)
Ezinwanyi~For you, Agron wrote: "I could have done without seeing that performance myself, but it was on EVERYTHING. I wonder if Miley got the boost for her record sales"yep - wondering if that is all a marketing ploy. Thanking the Lord that my kids think she is a crazy person :)

Why, because it's not in them, they are pretenders so they end up overdoing stuff.
It reminded me of "this is your brain on drugs" except it would be "this is your daughter after Disney & Salvo and/or Weed

Pat, I did the same with the series. I hate to abandon a series and seldom do, but I just can't do it. I have now tried 3 times and wanted to throw the book across the room - which I can't because it's my Kindle. I had to force myself to read the last one, and it's just not worth the effort.
Pat wrote: "I dated half and half. I always knew i'd end up with a good boy but the bad boys always knew how to have a good time. I really am gonna do that series soon. I am finishing the last available book..."
@Ezi, I'll definitely like to join depending when. I am so behind on series that all of you have been talking about - thanks to going back to school.
Ezinwanyi~For you, Agron wrote: "Dang, y'all have been chatty. I need a min"@Megan and Ezi, I also love historical fiction. I had read too many back to back and am now taking a short break. I need to get back to a few on my TBR before the end of the year.
Awesome roll, Megan!I am going to continue with the Inside Out trilogy by Lisa Jones and read
. The last book left me with too many unanswered questions that I'm dying to find out!
Ezinwanyi~For you, Agron wrote: "hmmm, I have several options here:Book 5:
Book 2:
or my BR with Melissa Well, Melissa?"
Bloodlines!! Of course, you had to ask?!?
@Pat and Ezi - Leslie and I are starting Virgin River in March - we are going to do the three Alpha/Omega books by Patricia Briggs after we finish Mercy Thompson series read if that works for you guys. We are starting Midnight Breed in January - our plan is one book from each series a month until done.I could start GoE in January.
@Ezi - I have Dark Desires after Dark in paperback if you want to buddy read it when we get to the 6's for this. I think I'm 1-2 behind you in DH - the lat two I read were just 'meh' - couldn't get into them. Will have to get back to it.
@Pat - did you finish all The Kristen Ashley series? There is a 2014 series for her in the Romance Readers Reading challenge group if you're not up to date yet.
That book you ladies wanted to throw across the room was it the Fever series by KMM by any chance or a different series you are talking about??
I so wanna do the McCarty Series!I'm gonna go with either

~Melissa~ wrote: "@Pat and Ezi - Leslie and I are starting Virgin River in March - we are going to do the three Alpha/Omega books by Patricia Briggs after we finish Mercy Thompson series read if that works for you g..."not particularly driven on Virgin River so March is fine with me. I've done Alpha & Omega by Briggs I like them better than Mercy.
I'm fine with GoE in January - but I may do more than one per month, we'll have to see.
Not done with all Kristen Ashley, I have 2 left for Ghosts & Reincarnation; one book left for the 3. I haven't started the Burg or Chaos and I still have the new Colorado Mountain to read. So way more than half but still a chunk to go. I"ll go see. Thanks

See it's the opposite for me - I like the Highlander series - I'm up to #6 in Highlanders but the Fever series - those I wanted to throw my iPad across the room on several occasions!!
Mod
Me too. That is why I started the audiobook this morning of book 2
.But then I also want to get back to New species, I am on book 4:
so I like that you are considering that one.I am enjoying KMM's Highlander on audio. I'm on book 6:
but i did not enjoy Fever. I read all of them and I don't think any of the books were more than a 3-star reading for me. I am still waiting for someone to tell me what the heck JZB is. WHAT kind of creature is he? (ummm, obviously I don't like him)I also prefered A&O to Mercy, but I still loved Mercy T. Book 4 of A&O isn't due out until late 2014 and possibly 2015 according to the author.
it was book 6 that made us both crazy. it's a divisive book and either you love it or you hate it. Like Debbie I hate to DNF a series but sometimes you have to. like I said, I read Fever series and it was ok to me. not one of my favorites. I still don't get what all the hoopla was about. but one that did make me just scream and want to throw my readers away was that doggone guild hunter #4. I swore I would never read another word by her. I had received and read psy-changling 1-10 (none of the shorts) as a gift which I did finish but it made me doubt my sisters love for me.
Mod
was not only my favorite book in the guild hunters series. It was the only book that I LOVED by Nalini singh.i don't enjoy Nalini that much. I like her, but I don't love her stuff.
Oh man! I loved Dmitri's book!!!
see, that's why we get along so well, we respect and appreciate our similarities and differences. I know I couldn't delete that book fast enough and never would be too soon for me to read the letter "a" by her.
Her style didn't really appeal to me either so I get what you mean. I was so sorry I promised my sister I'd read every one of thoae. But at least I got her to promise she'd never buy me another book without hurting her feelings.

Sad thing is that Pat and I did a BR on the series and read it pretty fast. I wasn't crazy about the Fever series either. Not sure if I will pick up any new books of hers or not.

Thanks for offering, appreciate it, but they don't look like my type of books. I hope you all enjoy them though :)
