[Ezrah]

I have been doing well with my goals for 2013 but I find that certain months are more busy/exhausting than others which leads to being unable to finish reading anything at all!

[Lady]

i have finished my goal for 2013. i think i read well over my goal but some of the books i read are not on the website or are being added daily or weekly. but i will keep you all posted on my progress for next year.

[Laura]

I finished my goal of 150 for 2013 last week, I'm trying to be patient and hold off till January 1st so I can add what I'm reading at the moment to my 2014 goal.

[Lady]

[Jess]

LOL Laura I'm doing the same thing. I started a new book yesterday and I'm reading sllllllooooowwwwly so it will be my first book to finish for the new year. It's good too so I'm just torturing myself.

[Michelle]

Finished my last book for 2013, ending at 162 for the year. Book 1 in my goal is Sarah Maclean No Good a Duke Goes Unpunished.

Working on #3 now, "Devil in My Arms" again by Samantha Kane. I tend to read a few books in a row by same author, if I have them downloaded on my kindle and haven't gotten to them yet. Not sure where next book will lead me since I'll have all of Samantha Kane's books under my belt!

Will Read Next 5/50, 6/50 and 7/50: The three books of the Mistress Matchmaker trilogy by Jess Michaels because I raced through them last year and I want to do a leisurely read this time.

Ingrid,
Jory Strong's Ghostland series is definitely one of the best in Urban Fantasy - in my opinion. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks Jess!

[Riley]

3/102 Out of Time by Pauline Baird Jones. Fun time-travel tale set during WWII.

[Fabiola]

4/50: River road by Jayne Ann Krentz (official review) very good as always :)

[Jess]

It's fun to see what everyone's reading. I just got the notification that I'm going to be getting books to judge for the RITAs (the big award for published books that RWA puts on and you have to judge to enter) so my book count may increase significantly in the next few weeks.

[Charlene]

Congrats Jess!!!

[Jess]

Eh, it's not really an honor. I entered so I have to judge. LOL But I'm excited to see which category they give me.

[Fabiola]

Lol Jess, I suppose you are going to read more than you planned to.

[Lady]

way to go Jess!!!!

[Jess]

Yeah probably since I hadn't taken RITA into account. But I'll reevaluate midyear and adjust if I need to. :)

[Shevaun]

My count always goes way up around RITA time, and then again in preparation for DABWAHA

[Jess]

Yes, that's my thought. I'll record them as read but not post a review until maybe after RITA finalists are announced.

Blood Brothers A Short Story Exclusive Innocent Blood (The Order of the Sanguines, #2)

Goodreads is counting Blood Brothers (A short story) by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell as my first book of the year so I'm calling it 1 of 41 here.
Innocent Blood, also by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell, is 2 of 41 and I greatly enjoyed it. It mixed the Bible, vampires, a little romance, and a lot of action into a wildly entertaining novel.

Breathless (Jason and Azazel, #1)
My next book (3 of 41) will be Breathless by V.J. Chambers (A member of this group)
Now this doesn't look like a book I'd normally read, but I met V.J. Chambers here on Goodreads a while back and I've had quite a few conversations with her about being an author and I found her to be a very cool, very interesting person, who has some very similar influences and tastes and I'm greatly looking forward to reading one of her books.

[Jess]

4/50 -- Why Smart People Hurt by Eric Maisel 2* read :(

[Melody]
