Melody  May (What I'm Reading) (belle_93436) | 8 comments So, I'm at 101 out of 300. I'm trucking along. I just finished Sinful Seduction by Katie Reus. I just started Don't Blackmail the Vampire by Tiffany Allee. I'm actually really excited for this book, because it's a book 2 in a series. I also have a couple more I need to read this weekend.

Becky (beccabye) | 51 comments Right now I am re-reading Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series from the beginning. I got a great deal on the boxset of all the Dark Hunter books with the exception of Styxx for ereader just 19.99. So decided it was time to reintroduce my mind and memory to the hunters. I would love to get boxsets like this for the weres and dream hunters too. Not sure I can get that lucky but I can dream :)
This makes 189 for the goal of 500. Still a bit behind due to school and moving but I feel sure I can make my goal.

I feel so bad because I haven't read anything in a month. June has... sucked on so many levels. I'm going to Vegas tomorrow though so I'm hoping for some reading time on the short flights and maybe when I get back to the room in the evening (I don't drink and I'm not a huge gambler, though I love Vegas). Wish me reading luck.
