message 301: by Robin (new)

Robin (robinmy) I can't believe the month is half over and I've only finished two books.

I read Taking the Heat (O'Neil Brothers #3) by Kathryn Shay Taking the Heat by Kathryn Shay. This book tackles what happens to a relationship when one person works a dangerous job.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I also read Into the Night (Troubleshooters, #5) by Suzanne Brockmann Into the Night by Suzanne Brockmann. This is a good continuation of the Troubleshooter series, but not my favorite.

Book 2 was my least favorite I remember I kept wanting to know about the Pirate... In my opinion the rest of the series is worth your time. I'm waiting for the new release now that I'm up to date.

The audio is good , I listened to half of it a few month ago . My library had the eAudio WMA format. While I was listening they discountinued WMA format on Overdrive and my loan expired before I finished listening. When I went to get it again I couldn't find it , when I complained they said it was not available on eAudio anymore but they would get the physical mp3 CD for me which they did last month :D
This whole story was to say that I know the audio is good!!lol


message 306: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) Lol! Kudos to your library for stepping up. My library won't even carry those awful WMA formats anymore.

Vicki (vickiguardianofthewraiths) Starting Live Wire, last in the series so far I've loved the series!
What I'll read next I don't know. Oh, I almost forgot I need to read books #1 thru #7 which will catch me up to Virgin River series.


message 308: by Robin (new)

Robin (robinmy) This week I read Love With a Scandalous Lord (Daughters of Fortune, #3) by Lorraine Heath Love With a Scandalous Lord by Lorraine Heath. I was bored with the first half of the book. It was probably just me since there are several glowing reviews for this book. The second half was a lot better.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3) by J.K. Rowling Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling. Another outstanding story in the Harry Potter series.

My rating: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I've been meaning to reread Harry Potter series by audio. I've read each book several times but the last time was probably 7-8 years ago. I need a refresher!

Apparently there are 2 narrators, which one did you listen to?

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments For the first one, I actually listened to both, as I wanted to do a comparison. I liked them both equally.

message 329: by ShoSho , Moderator (new)

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments I'm listening to The Raven King (The Raven Cycle, #4) by Maggie Stiefvater it's a hard book to listen, it's full of riddles and things that I don't understand!

I'm also reading A Taste of Heaven by Penny Watson I haven't read much but so far so goo :)


message 330: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments I've got a couple books going in Italian. Not making much progress in them, but plugging away.

But, listening to Bitter Spirits (Roaring Twenties, #1) by Jenn Bennett and reading Death of a Nurse (Hamish Macbeth, #31) by M.C. Beaton .

Also listening to Guided Meditation Six Essential Practices to Cultivate Love, Awareness, and Wisdom by Jack Kornfield when I walk.

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments I've never read anything by M.C. Beaton but my library has 100s of ebook and audiobooks by her. Do you recommend her books?

I love that series. Love Hamish. He's a "lazy," laid-back Scottish detective, who avoids promotion like the plague... but he always solves the crime. I haven't gotten back to it in years. Mainly because I'm not exactly sure where I left off. So...**shrug** (just to drive you people with OCD crazy...) I thought I'd pick up the latest.


message 333: by Anita (new)

Anita (anitanodiva) | 607 comments That is one reason why I love Goodreads. I can always tell where I left a series, even if I don't remember.

Just finished Paradise Valley by Robyn Carr, now I'm caught up inthe series. Now my big decision is do I continue on in the series or do I read something different??? As part of the Challenge I don't need to start Moomlight Road till 6-27 but you become so into Virgin River and the people that live there you want to just keep going

message 343: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (vickiguardianofthewraiths) I finished Protect and Serve by Terri Reed. It was a good and exciting read. There are 5 more in series so I will try and read those as well. Recommend to mystery readers with some romance thrown in


message 344: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (vickiguardianofthewraiths) Just started Hard As It Gets by Laura Kaye and it is really good. I was a little skeptical with the setting of a Tattoo Parlor but it has started out really exciting. It's one of the June Challenges.


message 345: by Rosemarie (new)

Rosemarie Onward in the Maiden Lane series. Started Thief of Shadows (Maiden Lane, #4) by Elizabeth Hoyt and in the Virgin River series I am up to Angel's Peak (Virgin River, #9) by Robyn Carr (but I am taking a mini-break from that one. HaHa

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 744 comments I'm recommending Undecided by Julianna Keyes and it is NOT a triangle contrary to the cover. You guys should read it.

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments I'm going to start Hard as It Gets (Hard Ink, #1) by Laura Kaye a bit later today.
I started re-listening to Shards of Hope (Psy-Changeling, #14) by Nalini Singh in preparation for Allegiance of Honor (Psy-Changeling, #15) by Nalini Singh coming out next week.


message 350: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 744 comments Sho: It is good, give it a try.

I finished My American Duchess by Eloisa James and I don't know why y'all didn't tell me it was entertaining.
