Oh, yes. Loved that one, Sue...and that series. I bought them all on audio, but I've yet to re-read them via my ears. Although...I think I listened to that last one. Hmmm. I'd have to check.

I own 4 out 5, just finished it. Great fun, very much enjoyed the series. Some books better than others but I think the final 3 are my favorites. It's funny this series was quite good, but I haven't always been enchanted by this writer. So maybe the material match my mood.

[Sue]

Started Lord of Darkness book 5 of the Maiden Lane series. Ashford McNab isn't narrating this one and I can only hope Emma Taylor does a decent job.

Update: Just a quick update, Emma Taylor isn't Ashford McNab, the male voices are so... not good, female are fine. Glad it's a library copy and I didn't buy it.

I just finished which was another stellar Rainbow Rowell book.

Now, I'm reading , which is a historical fiction novel, book two of the Poldark series.

And, I found this freebie on Wattpad, , by Colleen Hoover, which, I LOVE HER, so of course I had to read it, which I'm very happy with right now, about 50 or 60% done with it.

Robin, the three books you just read are three of my favorites. Great reviews.

A new listen to an old read, The Lion's Lady I absolutely adored this series in print and Susan Duerden did a fine job with the narration.

Also finished Not Quite a Lady which was excellent as well.

I loved Written in Red so much that I'm having a hard time getting into my currently reading books. Which I thought were safe choices, since I usually enjoy these series. I finished Written in red on Friday, and have spent almost 5 days reading these 2 books now. Usually I finish a book every other day or so.

Yes, easy to get caught up in that series. I just love it, Anita.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Both good books, Rosemarie. JG is one of my favorite authors.

[ShoSho , Moderator]

I started on audio and this morning , it was really hard choice, I am excited for both.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Oh, I grabbed all the audios in that last series, ShoSho. A couple were on sale. I've only read the first one, though. Would love to get back to the series... though, I don't know how the author could do better than that first book. **sigh**

I know! The first one was just fantastic , I've been thinking about rereading it.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

It's on sale for $2.99 on audio. :o)

[Vicki]

I just finished "Open Season" by CJ Box. Loved it!! It's a series about a Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett solves crimes above and beyond duty.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Sounds good, Vicki.

ShoSho wrote: "I felt the same when I finished written in red! Do you have the next book in the series?"

No I don't have the next books in the series on hand. I'm considering getting physical copies of them all since I loved it so much. If so I'll have to wait a month or two before I can buy them because of economical situations, and books in Denmark are just not as cheap as anywhere else.

I have this book in my TBR pile. Glad to hear it's a good one.

[Vicki]

Book #2 is going great it started out with a big bang, literally!
A cow exploded in the forest killing 2 people and 10 more cows!
Great mystery. I'm trying to get all in series but because of tight money (I'm retired) only can get 3 or 4 used a month. Amazon has used books for $.01 then $3.99 S&H Back to reading :-)

That is why I rely on my Goodreads friends and their reviews, especially for authors I haven't read before. With the ARC's I read for new authors, I try to write a true review and If I like the author, support them.

[Hayley]

So, I had to finally lay this book to rest. I just could NOT get into it after about 30%. It was awful to me. ( I REALLY wanted to like this book too because I love Lauren Graham as an actress).

Now that I am done wasting my time with that, I'm off to read

[Robin]

This week I read Wild Things by Chloe Neill.

I've only read the first two of that series but really love it so far :)

[Hayley]

Just finished up , which I think has been my favorite of this series so far. And, I have a few pages of left. I really enjoy this series too. This is the second book of this series. It's a historical fiction. It takes some time to read them, as they are kind of long, but worth it in the end.

Also, I just started yesterday. This book is different, but I like it so far.

[Rosemarie]

I am reading Elizabeth Hoyt I am liking it better than book #2 of Maiden Lane series.

I finished and started on a novella It is a mystery- not my usual genre but I thought I would give it a try. It has my interest. Next up will be a pirate novel. I am waiting on from the library.

[Sue]

Listening to a writer that I've seen popup many times on this thread, just wanted to see if it's worth the fuss and to use my kindle unlimited a bit.. been lax, paying for a service I don't use enough.

Georgette Heyer, narrated by Phylida Nash both are new to me.
