Just curious since the Gambler folks pop up in the Wallflowers, then the Hathaways (especially Ivoe Jenner's Craven gaming hall)

Yay! I'm glad you like it! That series is fun and I'm really enjoying it in audio!

I didn't know that when I first started reading Lisa Kleypas but I didn't mind it later. Is Capital Theatre also connected to those series?

[Becca]

I just started the hathaways and haven't read anything else by her, is that ok?

Hadley - What a roller coaster ride - right!! People either love it or hate it - there doesn't seem to be a lot of middle ground with this series. If you liked -there is a Consequences group on here you should join - here is the link

Books 10-12

Valerie - - Thanks! I really enjoyed this - I listened on audio whew 16 hrs I think maybe I would have read it quicker but I really liked the narrator. Looking forward to the next books in this series.

Melissa - - what can I say I ♥ Roan and the rest of the crazy characters in this series!! Thanks for letting me continue it :)


Leslie - Loved it - this was an awesome book about the side characters. Loved Cynna and Cullen together.

That's all that I will get to by the end of May. Thanks for all the great picks!!

[Pam]

Finished exactly five books as of today. Don't expect to finish anymore between now and tomorrow night but you never know...

Finally read this book which has been recommended to me on MANY different groups. Very slow start but enough of a finish that I have the next one in my TBR. I am assuming it is a case of okay first book, good continuing series. Thanks Melissa!

I loved this entire series. Hot men and animals, what's not to love. Thanks MountainKat!!

Not the best Hooper but an okay read. Thought of all those souls caught in a vortex definitely creepy. Thanks Melissa!

Another book that has been recommended to me a zillion times. What the heck was I waiting for! I loved this book. Can't wait to read the next one. Thanks Diane~Firefly!!!

And last but not least, finishing today Highly improbable and more like a series of novellas but I enjoyed the picture into all of the Kincaids. Thanks Gea.

Two weeks of instruction, one week of finals and 3 days of picking up the pieces and I will be free to really READ. Can't wait!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I squeezed in one more:

- just the right length as a squeeze book ;) Light-hearted fun, with humour and great characters. Thanks Jojo :)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I'm glad you liked it Pam!!

[~Melissa~]

Pam - glad you liked the Bishop novel. I'll have to get caught up on that series soon.

[Ezi]

I will keep reading the remaining books until I finish. Just like the last MnG. I will read every book:D

Hi everyone. Even though we are on MnG 6, I keep all my lists and try to read all of the books picked for me.

@Jane: I finally read and enjoyed it. I love this series and the author

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hahaha! I was wondering who had posted in this old thread :) Glad you enjoyed it, Ezi!

I only have 1 book left: chosen by Zara.
I keep looking at it, but I can't get myself to play the audio. I need a push so I can say this challenge is done!

But yes, I keep all the lists and continue to pull along because I want to read all the books people took the time to recommend to me
