I'll be picking for this round =D
So it looks like your list is full of books I've never heard of which means I picked the ones that sounded really interesting. I hope you enjoy.

so you think it would work in audio, because audible has it. It's not on sale but...

PepperP0t (*psst, the best what?)

should I select something else instead? it's not a bother.

I did it. i decided to get the audio. thanks Pat, for getting to start another new series to add to my FWYS shelf.

I am current on 17 series since this year started, and I have also started 16 new ones. I am not making progress. I am swimming in place

Jennifer C. | 1722 comments At least your working on them too, or your series number would have skyrocketed this year.

but the start series also only has one book with a new one not scheduled until after you've had a chance to catch up on others. (see glass half full)

Thanks. But on my current list, I have new releases coming, BDB, Blood of Eden, Dark Protectors, immortal Guardians...supposedly Downside Ghosts in July but I'm not holding my breath as there isn't even a bookcover sighting.

But thanks JennC and Pat, I feel more optimistic about my reading habits. Something new, something old


message 117: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5307 comments I hate it when I read a book, not realising it is a series and then the next one isn't released for about a year!
You wait all excited and then when you get it, you forget what it was about in the 1st place!

but a review by you can help refresh your memory, because in it you probably mentioned the things that stood out for you in the book.

that being said, the other side of the coin is to not start it until the series is done or almost done, then you read back to back and more clearly notice errors, get bored with reading the same characters for a while, or find the series isn't what you expected because you heard so much about it while you waited. (at least that happens to me sometime)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5307 comments My own fault for either being a 4* junkie (anything 4 and over I HAVE to read) or recently just looking at the covers and not reading the blurb on the back.

No no-shows anymore, but if you post your shelf someone will chose for you.

For you Rach,
I chose Outpost (Razorland, #2) by Ann Aguirre because there is a some love and this was a PKC BR read and this is one of the FEW zombie series that I enjoyed.
Succubus Dreams (Georgina Kincaid, #3) by Richelle Mead was one of the best books in the GK series and it was a pivotal moment for Georgina...and there is love in this book as well.

So I win!

☀Rachael☀ (jimbunni) Were you sitting there refreshing the page every minute to make sure you get to choose for me? Lol!

Hey I'm happy with your choices! I added GK just for you!

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 16657 comments Mod
LOL at Rachael, I kinda was refreshing my page. I didn't realize I'd be so obvious:D
WE read GK as a BR at PKC and it was a great BR as well

⚜️XAR the Bookwyrm (xar-the-bookwyrm) Finished The Witness tonight. Was an excellent read, one I want to discuss at length with my mom, but well worth picking up on the Kindle!

I'm going to try to read Cinderella Unmasked as well, but not sure if I'll get to it or not.


ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) Started Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella this afternoon. I am not far in but I hope to finish it within the next few days.


message 135: by ⚜️XAR (new)

⚜️XAR the Bookwyrm (xar-the-bookwyrm) Went ahead and read Cinderella Unmasked last night and this morning. Was a pretty good erotic story!

I just got this one from my library and am a little scared to read it. I hate waiting for the next one to come out and remember what I was like waiting for this one to come out.
