What Are You Reading? 2015
I started
. I couldn't help myself. I just need to know who/what Ryder is.
Mod
because I was craving a little historical romance and I do love Amanda Quick.

I seem to be gripped by The Virgin River series right now and it has derailed me big time from my previous reading plans :D

I'm still on my Virgin River kick and finishing up
loving this series :)

Have you read Amanda Quick Belkis? She is my favorite.
Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Tracy wrote: "I started because I was craving a little historical romance and I do love Amanda Quick."That happens to me too Tracy, I do enjoy historic..."
No I haven't read any of hers but I have read many others that I love Tracy. Julie Garwood, Johanna Lindsey, Elizabeth Lowell, Loretta Chase, Lisa Kleypas. I have a few of Amanda Quick's books in my library too so I might read them eventually :) way too many books!
Mod

. But i'm like pages into Fracture me and [spoilers removed]"I was so angry with Tahereh for what she did to Adam. Everyone's probably tired of reading my rants about it on here, but she created this amazing character in Adam and got us to adore him, then trashed him...grrrr. Okay, rant #29 done. LOL

LOL yeah, I didn't think it was very fair either

This is one of the reasons I'm hesitant to keep going with this series - I'm about a quarter of the way through Shatter Me but put it down, I think because another book came out that I wanted to read more…I already fell in love with Adam after only a couple of chapters, but then I heard something happens with him? Not sure what but it's put me off a bit.
I have to read it by the end of this month anyway as the group i'm moderating is discussing it next month but yeah, I'm a little hesitant...
Mod
and I was glued to that book ALL DAY!! SO good, absolutely the perfect ending to this addicting, entirely unique series. Now I'm going to take a breather and catch up on reviews because I'm in a post-apocolyptic read coma!
Mod
and . But i'm like pages into Fracture me and [spoilers removed]"I was so angry with Taher..."
Well, I can definitely understand why you'd be hesitant, because if I had heard this when I read SM I would have felt the same. On the flip side, knowing what you do, you can avoid the need for angry venting because you felt completely duped by the author...so I guess there's a positive in that. I won't spoil the rest of the series for you, but at least you aren't going in with blinders. And I will say, despite how much I adored Adam, Tahereh DOES give you good things with a HEA in this series. So I'm never going to forgive her completely, but my heart is happy with how things ended so you may be too. Give it a go, because it really is an amazing series.
Mod
and . But i'm like pages into Fracture me and [spoilers removed]"I was so angry with Taher..."
Oh, I do hope you continue with the series. I actually loved it and was one of my favourites. It's really hard not to love it or Warner for that matter.

Lol yeah well I have to read SM some time in the next 10 days anyway and knowing me I'll get completely hooked and fly through the rest of the series as well!! Also, given my love of antiheroes I'll probably end up loving Warner
"Kelly wrote: "YAY! Finally and . But i'm like pages into Fracture me and [spoilers removed]"I was so angr..."
I always thought there was something a little off about Adam and I never loved him. And I thought the way everything unraveled to reveal who all the characters were was masterful.
The thing that I have trouble forgiving Tahereh for is her decision to write a middle grade next. :P
Read
- I think this one will be a matter of taste but I personally wasn't a fan…had so much potential but I felt it just missed the mark entirely.
Mod
and . But i'm like pages into Fracture me and [spoilers removed]..."Oh you'll love Warner, that's a given! He's so very yummy. ;-)
Sylvia wrote: "Liv wrote: "finished and . LOVE both of them!! So sad but really good.. I've heard such great things about those two books by Tabatha. "
I just read them because I loved
. And I had no expectations at all, but they've blown me away. (Is that even a saying in english?! I have no idea)Just Laura Wiess managed that before I discovered Tabitha Suzuma .
I'm half-way through
and it's a mix adventure. Kelly Oram never fails me with her books. And Russ...cant have a boring minute with you...I like how the story goes, the revelations and adventures are truly a fun-filled experience.
Mod

Oh I did not know that she was writing a middle grade book. Hmmm will hold judgement until I see it.

Rant away. I am SO with you on that. I just feel like it could have been handled better. I thought for sure she did it because people started to really like Warner and she had to push them into his corner. But, when asked, she said that was the plan all along. I just don't think it's true!

That definitely is a saying :D and I haven't had a chance to delve into these books of Tabatha's. Thanks for the heads up on Laura Wiess, I did not know she even existed and her books sound amazing. Will check them out.

See I was only partially happy with the HEA b/c of the way she handled it. I felt slighted!

Confession: Fracture me didn't ACTUALLY come available. they were both number 1 on waitlist, and ignite me came first. I... couldn't wait. So I just read the sample which got me 1 chapter + 1 page of fracture me and then read ignite me anyway. woops.
*sigh* I need to fan myself off a bit at one part. That Warner... mmm. I was disappointed about the Adam thing, but I loved Warner enough that I didn't care enough for it to ruin anything for me. I still have insane amounts of love for this series.
I've started listening to
& it is FANTASTIC.
So I marathon read
and finished in one day - it was amazingly good. Now I picked up
, but sigh I have to work all day so won't get to spend a lot of time reading.
Mod

The audio is great!! Loved the reader!

It's really good Tracy.
I agree Erin ! I really liked/loved the first two in the series. Book #3 I did a relisten because I saw a lot of people saying they didnt like it at all. I didnt recall hating it and thought it was meh so I had to listen again to see if I missed something - Again nothing I didnt love it but didnt hate it.Dark Instincts wasnt bad but again didnt love it.
I think I would give each a 3 or so ...

LOL ash I had the same feeling for her. I agree it wont affect or miss anything for the next book but I did like that we got some backround on Lavina I have been curious to why she hated mirrors and such from the beginning. I felt sorry for her at times irritated and just plain hate! So I really enjoyed the book.

I listened to the first two books I started out really liking the first book but it went down hill for me about half way. Still I had to see what happened next LOLDonna wrote: "I've started listening to

Ok I listened to 
Hrmm well it was very seriously?!? to me and tweenish - at least the Narrator gives it that feel. But the story alone was annoying - not sure Ill be moving on here.
3 stars lots of telling not much info on the story and left with a ton of questions at the end.
4 stars here too but again a lot of telling and details. again leaves you with more questions than answers. Next book is out in August but not sure Ill finish it.
did a relisten because I saw so many low rating on it an many hated it reviews. didnt hate it but didnt love it 3.5 starrs I guess
3.5 again didnt love it but didnt hate it. The first two books I really enjoyed these last two were
just meh ...
Now im starting

I have to Brooke. It doesn't seem to be as good as Drew but I didn't expect it to.
Listening to
and the audio is s***ing me…so wish Kagawa had opted for third person rather than multiple first…we're up to four narrators now…two are okay and the other two are annoying. Will give it another few chapters then maybe switch to the ebook…although then there's the problem of losing thrack of whose chapter it is when it's all in first person! argh!

I like historical romances as well, Tracy.
