[Jess]

You are working through them, Fabiola! Awesome.

[Fabiola]

The two last books were short so they were two easy reads. Now I'm in a Cynthia Eden book. Another short novel.

[Fabiola]

22/50: Mine to crave by Cynthia Eden. Great. Official review.
And now I need a break because I read too much. :) So movies and video games tonight and this week end.

[Jess]

LOL Fabiola. I need to read MORE. I keep thinking that will happen soon...

[Fabiola]

Difficult to read more when you must write Jess lol

[Melody]

All right, I'm at 53/300. I'm making pretty good progress. Still tackling some of my review books that I have been behind. I just finished Secrets for Seducing a Royal Bodyguard by Vanessa Kelly.

[Jess]

15/50 The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - Wow, I loved this book so much!! Must read the other two.

[Rick]

I just finished:


8/41 -The Abomination Assignment by Lee Holz which was an exploration of government sanctioned assassination which I found very interesting

I also Finished:


9/41 -The King in Yellow by Robert W Chambers I read this because I heard that HBO's True Detective used it as a source, which is true, but there was more than this book in the show. The first 5 short stories in The King in Yellow are pretty good and I can see how HP Lovecraft used them as a basis for his works. But the last five short stories are not that great.

I'm currently reading:


10/41 - The best of Joe R Lansdale which was recommended to my in my For The Love of Horror group and started with a Godzilla story that just great and is continuing with Bubba Ho-Tep, which for the un-initiated was made into a movie with the great Bruce Campbell, which I enjoyed. So i'm looking forward to the rest of the book.

Next up:


11/41 - The Complete Works of HP Lovecraft it's been awhile since I've read HP Lovecraft and look forward to getting back into his stories as I start write my own set of horror shorts for my next book. Time to get inspired.

[Fabiola]

24/50: Nash by Jay Crownover. Great and stirring. Official review

[Jess]

16/50 The Devil to Pay by Catherine Gayle - liked it. It was a novella, so it all develops really quickly, but it was sweet.

[Riley]

21/104 The Other Guy's Bride by Connie Brockwell. Humor, romance and adventure. While I was reading it I recalled The Mummy (movie with Brendan Fraser).

22/104 Revenge of the Mad Scientist by Lara Nance. Just ok.

23/104 Mariana by Susanna Kearsley. Amazing! Recommended to anyone!

24/104 Through the Smoke by Brenda Novak. Very good gothic romance/mystery.

25/104 Aftermath by Ann Aguirre. Sci-fi adventure as only Ms. Aguirre can relate. #5 in series - very good!

44/100 started this year on a good pace.

[Ang]

Well I'm 21 books into my 50 and it's only March! I somehow way underestimated my goal. I will get an accounting posted at some point here...

[Jess]

That's awesome Ang! Definitely do an accounting if you want, I think it's fun to see what people are reading. And in June, I might do a reset post if people want to adjust their goal (I think you can do that in the overall Goodreads challenge too).

[Kathleen]

I should
have raised my goal higher, I am 7 books ahead.
I just finished Sugar Jamison' s Dangerous Curves Ahead. A 3.5 star book

[Fabiola]

[Julie]

I just finished my 25th read
Mercenary Abduction by Eve Langlais

[Jess]

23/50 Entwined by Collette Gale - I liked this a lot. I just didn't realize it was a multi-part thing. Still, will now immediately add the other parts. SEXY.

[Riley]

Entwined is on my TBR list too. Good to know about the multi-parts. I've also enjoyed Ms. Gale's Bound by Honor - a story of Maid Marion.
26 & 27 /102 Reluctant & Redeemed by Kerrigan Bryne. Technically novellas, but they read like full novels, so I'm counting them!

29/102 Silver Mirrors by A. A. Aguirre - Awesome!

30/102 The Clockwork Work by Lynn Viehl - Also wonderful!

[Fabiola]

27/50: Fall into forever by Beth Hyland: Great :) Official review

[Fabiola]

28/50: My Lady, My Lord by Katharine Ashe. Official review.
Very funny. Just a pity that the end draged on too much in the end. It's a must read just for the hilarious scenes and replies.

[Riley]

31/102 - Embrace the Highland Warrior by Anita Clenney - #2 in the series. Lots of adventure - fun read!

32/102 - The Witch's Daughter by Paula Brackston - started out very dark and I almost did not finish, but I'm glad I did. It was well worth persevering!

33/102 - Steam & Sorcery by Cindy Spencer Pape - A paranormal/steampunk adventure that will put a smile on your face!

[Julie]

I finished reading the Legal Affairs novella series by Sawyer Bennett

[Becky]

Currently read 137 of a goal of 500. I'm a bit behind on my reading due to moving and going back to school.

[Erica]

27/150 I'm behind 17 books right now which is very frustrating, but I started a new job and I've been feeling super drained in the evenings. Miss reading so much...working on catching up, really like the "you're ahead" messages instead of the " you're behind" ones.
