So...I committed to four books this RaT. So far so good. Up to now, my progress is:

1) The Skeleton in the Closet Completed
Angie Fox

2) Wrong Number, Right Guy Completed
Elle Casey

3) Miss Goody Two-Shoes Just starting
Charlotte Hughes

I'm not sure what my fourth book will be, yet. I'll add it when I know. <3

Hey everyone. Goody Two-Shoes was okay. Not a can't put down for me, but a sweet romance to pass the time. My review is posted if you'd like to read it.

As for Wrong Number, Right Guy...It started out awesome! It was hilarious. I even had tears because I was laughing so hard. It continued to be a good book, but kind of watered down towards middle-to-end. Still a good read, though, and I plan to read more in the series. <3

Thanks Whit! It was fun. I'm excited for October's RaT. <3

Hey Everyone!!

For the October RaT, I committed to 6 books. It's been a crazy couple of weeks, so I'm late posting, but I have been reading.

Note: I'm typing this out on my phone, so no links, but I will update a little later with book and author links.

1) Renegade Reject by Dawn Martens & Emily Minton -- COMPLETED

2) Accidentally in Love by Laura Drewry -- IN PROGRESS

3) Ghost of a Potion by Heather Blake -- ON DECK

That's what I've got so far. I'm still debating my other reads so won't post yet. I also don't feel that I'm getting as much reading done as I'd like, so I'm unsure if I'll reach my goal. We shall see, though.

I hope everyone else is trucking along. ;-)

You always do this to me! All of those books sound interesting. How was Renegade Reject? I'm going to check all of those out, and may end up adding more to my TBR.


message 15: by Jamie (new)

Jamie (nica21) | 88 comments Mod
Lol. I feel the same. I will never lower the number of books on my RaT. I'm always finding new and interesting books to add.

Renegade Reject is the 2nd book in the series. I like it a lot more than book 1. The heroine in Reject was better. I didnt really like the heroine in book 1. ;-)

Wow good job, I´m currently reading the score and then I´m going to read Sebring so similar books for us this time.. enjoy


message 32: by JadeShea (new)

JadeShea Good job, Jamie!!

Did you like Sebring?

I can not wait to read The Score!


message 33: by Jamie (new)

Jamie (nica21) | 88 comments Mod
Thanks ladies!

Whit, I liked Sebring. The sex kind of took over a bit too much at one point, but wasn't so bad I had to stop reading. I was also a bit disappointed in the ending, but otherwise really enjoyed getting to know Nick. ♡


message 34: by Sara (new)

Sara Great job so far!

Really? I sort of felt like there was less sex in this one then a lot of her other books. It was intense when it happened, but I felt like there wasn't much of it.

I also enjoyed getting to know Nick even though both of them frustrated me. I will need to do a reread.

Do you know about when any other KA books are coming out?

I feel so behind on what's to come!


message 36: by Jamie (new)

Jamie (nica21) | 88 comments Mod
Maybe it was just the intensity that made it seem like a lot of sex. I'll do a reread, too, in a month or two.

I haven't heard any dates for release. I know she was working on Noc's book, though, so I'd guess that's the next one. Now that she's finished Unfinished Heroes, I can see her starting a new series, too. Maybe the Rock Chick spin-off. I'd be down with that. Lol. ♡

I'm anxious to finish Chaos (not my favorite of her series, so I want it over lol)
And then I would love for her to start a new series.

Chaos isn't my favorite series, either, but I enjoy it. A couple of the books more than others. LOL. I want it to end, just so I can not be so anxious. I'm terrified something bad is going to happen and screw up all of my HEA's. <3

I know how you feel! I couldn't really get into the first Chaos book, but I loved the second one. And a few others I liked, but aren't really my favorites. And I'm worried something will happen as well. I just want it to end.


You got a lot done this week! Way to go!!

That's awesome, Jamie!! Way to go!! How big is your tbr anyways? I've actually removed a lot books that were on mine because I realized I probably won't ever read them like ever... And the most of the rest of them are just books that aren't published yet.

Thanks Whit!

My TBR on GR is huge! LOL. When I first joined, I remember clicking pretty much anything that caught my fancy. A lot of those are still on there.

Lately, though, I've been removing the ones I have a chance to go back and look at, and really think about. The problem is, I seem to find new ones I want to read every day. Haha. <3
