Laura  (llbasaldua) | 790 comments what Ive been reading/listening to

Losing It (Losing It, #1) by Cora Carmack Faking It (Losing It, #2) by Cora Carmack Finding It (Losing It, #3) by Cora Carmack --- Meh series for me

Tangled (Tangled, #1) by Emma Chase Twisted (Tangled, #2) by Emma Chase Tied (Tangled, #4) by Emma Chase Its had its ups and downs

Wallbanger (Cocktail, #1) by Alice Clayton Rusty Nailed (Cocktail, #2) by Alice Clayton SO far enjoying

Blood and Bone by Tara Brown Complete lost me then found me at the last 10% or so but by then the rest of the book made no sense so yeah ...

Catching Jordan (Hundred Oaks) by Miranda Kenneally was ok 3 stars for me
Stealing Parker by Miranda Kenneally another 3 stars
Things I Can't Forget by Miranda Kenneally another 3 stars
I probably would have gave these higher ratings had I read them when they came out but they feel a lil Tweenish.

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn Loved it!

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins 4 starish

Ive been doin my best to avoid NA because Im so over that Genre Im burnt out of the same ol story over and over no matter the Author.
But I did listen to
Take a Chance (Chance, #1) by Abbi Glines One More Chance (Chance, #2) by Abbi Glines For the weekly Challenge "Bottom of my TBR" because although Im avoiding NA I swore I wouldnt read anymore in this particular series ...

I did listen to
Beautiful Broken Rules (Broken, #1) by Kimberly Lauren and Addicted to You (Addicted, #1) by Krista Ritchie also though but again just didnt much for me I just wasnt feeling the stories so they both got 3 stars from me.

Now I am hoping that End of Days (Penryn and the End of Days, #3) by Susan Ee will get me back out of the book slump then Im looking for something maybe adult PNRish

Tangled (Tangled, #1) by Emma ChaseBreathe, Annie, Breathe by Miranda Kenneally as an ARC last year. I was not impressed at all. I wanted to maybe go back and read the other books, but at just 3 stars, I don't want to rush into that. I need something that will WOW me right now. Having trouble finding that!

Ashlee | 309 comments Finished The Artisans by Julie Reece - ended up loving it!

Now on to The Wrath and the Dawn (The Wrath and the Dawn, #1) by Renee Ahdieh ...I have a feeling I won't want to touch another fairytale re telling for a while after this month!

It's unanimous then, audios are a must :D you gals are quite convincing hehe


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 695 comments I wish I could get audio books. Sigh


message 19411: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Marks | 147 comments Audios are definitely a MUST! I don't think I'd get hardly any reading done without them! I'm listing to one right now…lol. :)

I'm always sad when a book doesn't have that option, and now they have the whole kindle/audible sync-up thing and I'm am SO loving that! I can go back and forth. I've gotten super awesome audios for like $1.99.

And I am SO excited because I found out Amazon is putting debut my audiobook into that same program where it syncs to the ebook. EEK! *I'm so scared to listen to it*

And being an an artist with deadlines, I would get NO reading done during my work spurts without them!

Reading Fair Game (The Rules, #1) by Monica Murphy and it's meh. I am about 25% in. If it doesn't get better I'll DNF and move on, again. This would be the third book I've DNF'd this week! Grrrr..... HELP ME!

@Laura

How sad is it that I've read The Faerie Guardian (Creepy Hollow, #1) by Rachel Morgan but didn't realize it until I saw my review, and it still doesn't ring a bell! I gave it 4 stars, you'd think something would stand out. =/

I finished Deep Down (Lockhart Brothers, #1) by Brenda Rothert and it was a bit of a letdown. I'm on the blog tour so I have to come up with a positive review, but it's going to be a challenge.

Can't decide what to read next, but Blurred Lines by Jennifer K. Brand , Bad Romeo (Starcrossed, #1) by Leisa Rayven , The Mistake (Off-Campus, #2) by Elle Kennedy , Chaos Umpire Sits (They Who Fell Series Book #2) by Kevin Kneupper , and a bunch that you're all going on an on about are on my list of possibles! Oh, and of course End of Days (Penryn and the End of Days, #3) by Susan Ee !!

BAD ROMEO!!!! So good Erin. READ IT! Although I loved The Mistake, but not as much as The Deal, to be honest.

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Okay I finished and loved End of Days (Penryn and the End of Days, #3) by Susan Ee it was fantastic! Great ending to a great trilogy. I laughed so much with Penryn's mom, her character's a hoot! And my heart kept breaking for Paige, poor sweet baby. And the hot hot Raffe, yum and sigh. Very good read. Now I'm back to Paradise Valley (Virgin River, #7) by Robyn Carr :D

Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 695 comments Does anyone know how to get your books from kindle to read to you? I saw someone mention that.

Oh, I did not realise this. Are you saying that there's an app that you download on your kindle that will allow your kindle to read to you, somewhat like an audio book?

Here you go, Melissa….
http://www.amazon.com.au/gp/help/cust...

You need the kindle app so I'm not too sure it actually works on the actual kindle per say…edit, just done a search and there is a way that the actual kindle can read to you. I'll need to see if my Kindle Fire can. Ooh, this is exciting especially when I have to put the kindle down to cook or something.

This will make me seriously unhappy if it's true. That's a very long time.

I saw someone say yesterday they use whisper sync with their kindle. I noticed some books on kindle unlimited say read or listen for free. Gack, who know. I just need some audio to give myself a break but am not paying for audible. I don't even know how that works

I don't actually use this but I believe it only works if you have both an audible and kindle account - when you buy one or the other they will ask if you want to sinc (for a certain extra price) and then each app will save your spot so e.g if you listen to the first five chapters thee book will automatically open at chapter 5 and vice versa

Amazon owns both kindle and audible so I'm pretty sure this is the only way to do it
