What Are You Reading? 2015
They're worth it. If you want to stick with the YA theme, there's some Discworld books specifically in that category, primarily the Tiffany Aching books, which are wonderful. Those start with

Cool, I love funny! Think I will read it next.

Mod
. Just over 3/4 done, but it's slow for me. The first one was better. I also started
. Hope it's good!

It's hard to come up with something original, and this series is entirely unique and LOL funny...and seriously addicting, because for a YA series the romance hooks you!!
Mod
"I've just read that recently; wasn't sure what to expect and dubious as to whether I'd enjoy it but I was actually surprised and gave it 4 stars..."
Yeah, I'm about halfway through and it's okay. The heroine is a bit too childish for my tastes given the situation and the fact that he's 29! It's a little odd for a pairing. Not looking forward to the end if it's a cliffie!! =/

Belkis I finished
and I loved it. I gave it 5*. Is it kinda sorta predictable and cheesy, but it's so simplistic that it was enjoyable. I just ate it up. Loved it.

Okay so I finished
and it was okay. Was not expecting it to have a paranormal element in it so that was quite the surprise. Was hoping for better but it was just okay. Halfway through
and loving it. Starting
next and very excited. Been wanting to get to it for a while. Then up next I'm planning on

Hate cliffies :( I think I'll wait to hear from you on how you like it and if in fact there is a cliffhanger ending Erin before I take the dive into this one.
Bridget wrote: "Two excellent books I have been waiting on released and I of course snatched them up. and . Now the hard part is deciding whic..."OMG YES! Bridget I have to add P&P to my April reading lineup too :)

No, there is no cliffhanger.

Awesome, thanks Rebecca. Will continue as planned then :)

and
. Also reading
Bridget wrote: "Two excellent books I have been waiting on released and I of course snatched them up. and . Now the hard part is deciding whic..."I swear Bridget, we share the same mind! I got both of these & immediately started Six Months. Good so far! I also want to get
but am having a hard time spending $7.99 for an ebook. :(
Things I read over my break:
, which was really good. Even though it wasn't involving the beach, I associate Abbi Glines with the beach, so it was right up my alley. I also read
and
, which were both good. I actually liked Luciens Mate mainly because it was so short & it didn't hash things out.
I started
since it's been sitting there staring at me for a while. I'm having a hard time though. I like the characters enough, I guess I'm just not feeling it. May need to put it aside for some Chocoholics :)
Donna wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Two excellent books I have been waiting on released and I of course snatched them up. and . Now the hard part ..."I want to get Twisted too but can't bring myself to pay that much. That's why I haven't read any of the new Abbi Glines stuff either
Amanda (mandy) wrote: "Donna wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Two excellent books I have been waiting on released and I of course snatched them up. and . Now ..."I don't mind spending some money on the books (I have my budget afterall), but really? Over $5 for an eBook? I mean, okay, I know I'll eventually spend it, but it's going to be during a week when I don't have much else I plan on buying (and we all know that hardly ever happens). :D

good choice!
Belkis wrote: "Hate cliffies :( I think I'll wait to hear from you on how you like it and if in fact there is a cliffhanger ending Erin before I take the dive into this one. "
It's a 'oh I wonder what will be next cliffhanger' rather than a 'WHAT?!? HOW!?! I don't understand cliffhanger'
The story was wrapped up but left open for the next installment ... if that makes sense (without trying to give anything away!)
Mod

It's a 'oh I wonder..."
Thanks Lynn, yes, this is doable for me :) perfectly explained.
Tracy wrote: "Donna wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Two excellent books I have been waiting on released and I of course snatched them up. and . Now ..."I keep stopping myself from 1-clicking it Tracy :D $8 for the ebook is rather steep. I do want to read it so I'll probably breakdown and get it but I'd rather pay $11.90 for the audio I guess. My book budget keeps getting bigger and bigger LOL!
Donna wrote: "Amanda (mandy) wrote: "Donna wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Two excellent books I have been waiting on released and I of course snatched them up. and [bookcover:Six..."Completely agree with you Donna. One of my pet-peeves. I mean okay for an actual printed book, fine. But an ebook?!? Come on! No paper, no printing :(
Mod
and [bookcover:Six months|1..."I totally understand Belkis. I don't usually buy books at all anymore with all the freebies and the library and now I can get them from Overdrive. I just don't see the sense in it especially an ebook but I do love Drew and my life is lacking without him.
Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Donna wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Two excellent books I have been waiting on released and I of course snatched them up. and [bookcov..."Hahahaha! Agreed Tracy :) and so I'll cave-in too and end up buying the audio LOL!
Mod
Do you have the audio of Tangled Belkis? I wish this book was loanable. Drew would absolutely be a riot of they have a good narrator.
Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Donna wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Two excellent books I have been waiting on released and I of course snatched them up. [bookcover:Passion and ..."Nope darling, I read the ebook of it. The audio wasn't out when I read it. But now with book 2 being $8! And the audio being available at the same time for $12, I'll just get the audio.
So I am still reading
but I set it aside to pick up
pretty good so far. I like this author, so hopefully this is good. That second book in that mountain series from her kinda sucked, not terribly, but sorta.
More than halfway through
and really enjoying it a lot :)
Mod
and really enjoying it a lot :)"I'm not that far in yet Belkis but it's good so far. Read a lot of mixed reviews about it.

Yeah Tracy now that I'm almost done with it I can see how there would be mixed reviews since my own feelings are pretty mixed with it too.
Okay finished
and it was really good but also a landmine of frustration and anger. Looking forward to book 2 LOL!
Belkis wrote: "Okay finished and it was really good but also a landmine of frustration and anger. Looking forward to book 2 LOL!"Haha, i know what you mean. :p You can read my review on it if you are interested in what I thought.
Im reading
and
both really good!

set aside, I may not get back into it right away. So debating what to read next.

Okay, so my opinion on this one- it was good, but not great. This is one of those "I've read better" books, it was too rushed and the captor came across as more creepy than sexy because of it. Maybe because there was an 11 year age difference and she'd literally just turned 18, I don't know. But yeah, like Rebecca said, no cliffie but it does make you want to get to the next one out of curiosity! LOL
