This is disappointing :( another new book release I was looking forward to that bites the dust. So many hopeful contenders have fizzled away.

On the one hand I like the story, writing, and the characters. But on the other hand, 5 books??!! The wait? UGH! I still remember the torturous wait between books 1 & 2! That was awful. Crap. Definitely would've preferred 3, thought it was supposed to be 3. Sigh.

LMAO! Oh Nicole, how right you are :D and there lies my conundrum hahahaha! I do make some headway in my TBR despite all the moving around. I just have way too many books that I unrealistically aspire to reading I guess. And all the enticing new releases and ongoing series keep adding to my predicament. At lease I'm about 130+ books read for the year so far so I figure that my aspirations for completing the books in my ASAP shelf in what remains of the year might be doable :)

and ..."Agreed Bridget. Loved the Dream Man series and loving the Rock Chick series so far too. You really should read them Tracy. They're super funny with feisty women and hot guys and interesting plots. All around great reads. Love KA.
Going between
and
and really enjoying both.
Mod
Are you talking about the Rock Chick books Belkis? Yeah, I haven't read those but I need to. Heard a lot about them.
Mod
which is funny but I need a new funny. Does that make sense?
Tracy wrote: "I am in need of a good LOL book. I am reading which is funny but I need a new funny. Does that make sense?"Oddly, it does Tracy LOL! I hope you find a good one soon.
Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Sara wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Sara wrote: "Tracy wrote: "I am reading [bookcove..."They're great Tracy. They make me laugh :) I love the audios. Maybe see if they have them where you get your audio books. I get mine from Audible.com, and got them all really cheap since I had the eBooks already so I just added the narration for like 2.99 or something. Love the Whispersync feature with Amazon. But the best part is to finally be able to get KA's books on audio since most of them are pretty lengthy at around 500 pages. But they're so good! And now she has the Dream Men, Rock Chick, Chaos, and Colorado series on audio. So it's very likely that all of her books will end up on audio and I will be a very happy gal :D

Tracy wrote: "I get mine from audible to Belkis. I will look at the Rock Chicks on there and see how much they are. They have the Aisling Grey series in audio but I don't like the narrator so I'm reading instead."Oh Tracy, Amazon just launched something new! Just saw it today actually. They're doing Unlimited Reading/Listening which will be a monthly membership for 9.99 to access ebooks and audios that are available. I don't know all of the details yet but I'm going to be checking it out. They're offering a 30 day free trial which can be cancelled at anytime. As well as a 3 month free membership to Audible.com. This is a great way for anyone here in our group that's interested in trying out audio books to see if you like them. These are some pretty sweet promotions :D
@ Tracy, maybe check out the free 30 day trial of Unlimited Reading/listening on Amazon to see if Rock Chick it part of it :D that way maybe you can get to listen/read them for free!! Whether or not you end up cancelling the membership, so it's kind of win/win :)
I've been off the books for a couple of days because I've been revising for a maths test, and some very rude people are wanting me to socialise, but I may have to ignore the outside world for a bit to get really reading
. I'm mostly liking it so far, but the MC is very judgmental.
Mod
which I would highly recommend. It was fun and a bit fluffy with just a tiny bit of heart ache to keep you going!..."I'm 50% it's very Divergent meets Hunger Games meet Dwellers. I fell like the author took those three book concepts and combined them.
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Finished which I would highly recommend. It was fun and a bit fluffy with just a tiny bit of heart ache to ..."That's truly disappointing. And the authors of those concepts/ideas probably aren't thrilled either. Another one bites the dust I guess. On the bright side, that's one less on my tbr.
Belkis wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Finished which I would highly recommend. It was fun and a bit fluffy with just a..."Now, that's the spirit! LOL
Mod
I am going to check that out Belkis.

Ok - so I finished
&
. Both were very good. Belkis- August 5th for
!!! I can't believe I'm all caught up! Still listening to
(& I bought the book too - its so good!) but I may start … something else. The last KA Rock Chick book? IDK!!
ok friends - I need AUDIO book recommendations for a road trip. Requirement is 1. not too much romance (hubby will be listening & although he likes "some", it can't be much) and 2. no sex (i'll have kids in the car). I was thinking of
or
, or something along this line, or even
or
, but am not sure if it's too violent. Suggestions?
Mod
Love the Maze Runner Donna. My son wouldn't let me listen to it unless he was in the car and he hates my audios. The False Prince is also very good for mixed company. No sx or romance in the first one and the next two has very little romance.

Just finished lotharie in the immortals after dark series and....I'm shockingly dismayed The first half of the book was great I enjoyed it up until after lotharie nearly died and then lotharie just really made me angry and in the end I just didn't really think they fit together in the end like they did in the beginning :( so should I read mc? Has someone read it that didn't like lotharies story and then loved mcrievs story? And I just read the preview and reviews for the daci book #1 and I don't think I'll like that book either :(
Going to start with one of these, but not sure which
Mod
Alienated was cute!
Mod
and I really enjoyed it. I love this series, there is so much humor in them it makes for a happy read. I hear that the dragon series is just as good.
Mod
and my heart is breaking! WHY WHY WHY am I reading this?????? UGH!
Just finished
. Was not a fan. Gonna read
next.

Maybe try The Maze Runner, seems like it'd be a good option since I know many younger readers that have enjoyed it as well as parents that have given it to their children to read.
Donna wrote: "Ok - so I finished & . Both were very good. Belkis- August 5th for !!! I can't believe I'm all caught u..."WooHoo!! Yes Donna, I+O was amazing and MacRieve was fantastic :) Love Love DoSaB so much and happy you're loving it too. Such a beautiful story. And YES YES! August 5th can't get here fast enough. I have both Dark Skye & Ugly Love on preorder too!!
Just finished
and
and both were high 4 star reads. Loved them! Now finishing
, which I'm almost halfway through and loving!

Oh sorry Stacie that you didn't like Lothaire, I loved it :) thought they were great togther and laughed a whole hellva :D both MC were a little demented so I thought them well suited LOL! But them again, I love the IAD series to death.
The Cover Contessa wrote: "So I started and my heart is breaking! WHY WHY WHY am I reading this?????? UGH!"It's SO GOOD Brooke. You started it because it's Colleen Hoover of course and it's brilliant. Hang in there.
Annie wrote: "Just finished and and both were high 4 star reads. Loved them! Now finishing , wh..."Oh Annie so did A Shade of Vampire series have a good ending?? I need to get back to it now that all the books are finally out.
Belkis wrote: "Annie wrote: "Just finished and and both were high 4 star reads. Loved them! Now finishing [bookcover:Addicted to You..."I don't know, that was book 4 I just finished. So I'm onto book 5 soon. God I hope so. Those two have been through effing hell and back. They can't catch a f**king break. There's always something standing in their way, I wanted to rip my hair out. But I'm still enjoying it thus far...
Decided to brave
. Though 100 pages in and I've already cried.
Nicole wrote: "Decided to brave . Though 100 pages in and I've already cried."Yeah, Nicole it's a hard one to get through but it's a great story and at least it made me way happier than
The Cover Contessa wrote: "So I started and my heart is breaking! WHY WHY WHY am I reading this?????? UGH!"Exactly why I haven't read it yet. I mean, I know I will love it and Colleen H is a genius, but she always flays me open first!
Read
which I really liked, so I've started the second one

Book 2 made so angry Annie and I saw that they were just going to be put through the grinder having to overcome obstacle after obstacle so threw in the towel and decide to wait it out.

and my heart is breaking! WHY WHY WHY am I reading this?????? UGH!"I haven't read this because of that!
URGHHHH I am so behind with my readings. I am remodeling my house and my reading time is now a big fat ZERO. I can't wait to finish up already with the noise and the dust and just curl up on the couch with my kindlesorry for the rant girls but I had to say it somewhere

Me to Bridget so I have to read her when I can keep my stuff together and that hasn't happened yet.

Oh Bridget both TBS & UDS are fantastic reads. You should move them up on your TBR. So worth the reading :)
