Donna wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Amanda (mandy) wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay so after finishing I jumped into one of the older series I'm still reading [bookcover:Wild About You|1345541..."Hahahahaha! Yup, I do darling, although sometimes it's not possible. Like when I have to go to meetings or when people stop by for help or to ask questions or hand over work and such. But most days I'm able to listen to my audio books for quite a few hours :D
Donna wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Donna wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Donna wrote: "Omg. I just finished . PERFECT. I mean, how does anyone write like that? Her story telling is simply a gif..."Oh Donna that's great! You're going to really enjoy it, you'll see. Can't wait to find out how you like it :)
Mod
which I am really enjoying thanks to West ;)"Mmmmm...I really loved West. He's so broken and shattered. So much more than what you see in CIY. I didn't like him in that book but this book explained him so much.
Mod
I jumped into one of the older series I'm still reading [bookcover:Wild Abo..."I know the feeling, that is kind of a bummer that everyone can't read at work. Don't misunderstand Belkis cause I am extremely happy that you can but you would think someone would let me. I got into accounting because I don't like people. They get on my nerves, whine, gossip and complain about everything hence the number thing. They say nothing and they are what they are and don't give you any crap about it. I would totally fire one of my girls if they listened to books all day but darn man you would think I could let myself do it. I mean, really, there has to be some kind of perk to be the boss because it's surely not the money.

Just finished
. I am in love with Elizabeth Hunter. So perfect. I can not wait for the next book! Again, how does she write so well? You know what it loosely reminded me of? A more adult/sophisticated/insanely better Mortal Instruments book. Angels and their descendants, writing, .... Okay maybe that's it. Anyway, my point: it was awesome! Not sure what to read next. Kinda on the PRN trend....

Tracy I'm loving your sarcasm ... I mean humor hahahaha :) listening to audio books and/or music is okay in my line of work since it's usually me and a computer while designing fabric or testing design software, etc. But I can't when I have meetings, or get interruptions from designers with questions, needing training, and such bothersome stuff LOL!

I'm reading an ARC copy of the third book in Kat Kruger's Magdeburg trilogy: The Night is Found and it is AWESOME> I'm going to post my review and a Q&A with the author as part of the book tour in June!
Mod
I jumped into one of the older series I'm stil..."Oh hate meetings and I would just have to tell them no can do and I would tell everyone else to figure it out. Or I would go in the bathroom and hang a do not disturb sign on the door.

But at least we've been lucky enough to discover this gem.
Have you read
yet Donna? These are really well written too. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for another great read. Oh or
LOVE this story too. Another well written one with a fantastic storyline, great worldbuilding, and glorious characters. Kickass heroine in both of these series :D

Just finished
and am currently reading
. Pretty interesting so far!
Mod
and am currently reading . Pretty interesting so far!"I really liked Switched Kay but haven't gotten around to reading Torn and Ascend. Really need to do that.
@Tracy That's great. I have Torn and am getting Ascend from the library. My only complaint is that Wendy can make some REALLY dense comments about Finn.

Tiana411 wrote: "Currently reading , interesting so far."Yay Tiana, let me know how you like Bruiser please. I want to read it eventually and would love to get your take on it. David loved it so I hoping you will too.
Okay so I finished
late last night and really liked it a lot! The heroine is such a wonderful character. She's full of sass and snark and wry humor! And I loved the fact that the time travel theme got yet another fresh take here with a very intriguing story. Feels almost sort of "cloak and dagger" which I totally loved! Will definitely be continuing this trilogy. Now I'm getting ready to start
for our Birthstone YC and I'm very excited to pickup this story after the ending of
Finished
today. It was a good ending. But I'm still thinking about the Scribe/Singer, so I'm not sure if I want to continue with a PRN or some completely different genre. It's either
or maybe
. Decisions decisions
So I finished
I'm in it for Curran and Kate and omg he totally wants her and she totally thinks she doesn't. Omg love it. Only down side was in his POV we didn't get the scene of him busting up the joint where the Reapers took her. Ugh. I wanted to know what was going though his head. Now there is a novella I have to read, then move on to the next book. I think that's what I mainly read this for lol. I have yet to write my review for it, so it'll have to wait a bit longer I have to go to the dentist eww.
Donna wrote: "Finished today. It was a good ending.

And yes, The Scribe/Singer, is very hard to compete with. But, but, EH's Elemntal Mysteries is pretty freaking awesome as well. The first book A Hidden Fire will be a bit slower because of course she's introducing everything to us in it, you know?? The world-building, the plot, the characters. But once it gets going honey, you're going to be flying through it and LOVING it. OMG Gio & B are amazing characters and all of the secondary characters are just as layered and well developed. And then of course, you know how I feel about Immortals After Dark by Kresley Cole, it's my favorite PNR series ever. So hard choices darling hahahaha! But I voting for A Hidden Fire. It was my first introduction to EH and it sold me on her amazing writing talent. The series is oh so SO GOOD.
I finished reading
a few days ago, and it had took me longer to read then I planned. It had took me a little while to get into the book, but once the book finally got better and more into the story, I couldn't stop. I am currently reading
. I definitely plan to read this book more quickly.

If you find it please let me know because I'll be allover that LOL! Love it when they're together :) need to read book 6 for them so will have to schedule them into my reading lineup in the next few weeks. So happy you're enjoying this series.
I just finished
. It was an okay book. To be honest it felt a bit rushed. I didn't really see the attraction between the main character and her love interest. He was hardly there to make an emotional relationship. I really disliked that the Emma led another love interest on. It was like Bella and Jacob all over again except whereas Bella told Jacob she was still in love with Edward, Emma always claim she felt nothing for Bennett and that he nothing but a guardian. Another thing I didn't like, how little sympathy she had for his death. One minute she's like oh no he's dead wahh! and the next she's like I want to kiss Bennett, OMG he's so hot! Let's forget your friend/other love interest is dead because of you. SMH. Besides that though, the rest was enjoyable.
Now reading
. Not really a young adult book, but so far its proving to be a pretty good read.

Donna wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Donna wrote: "Finished today. It was a good ending. But I'm still thinking about the Scribe/Singer, so I'm not sure if I want to continue with a PRN o..."OH YAY!!! Remember Donna, it's going to be slow for the first part of the book. But I think you're going to enjoy it as much as I did because you get EH's writing style. How she takes time to build up all those wonderful details and intricacies we love so much. Cannot wait for you to fall in LOVE with these characters Donna!! Because you will you know :) it's unavoidable with EH ... sigh.... love love love this writer.

So far it's interesting Mandy. I'm listening to it as I'm at work and the narration on the audio is very good.
