What Are You Reading, Nora and Beyond?
I just finished Curious Minds
by Janet Evanovich. Fun and entertaining.My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Short novella by Nora Roberts, Jill Gregory, Ruth Ryan Langan and Mariann Willman in paperback.Just finished. 5 starsThis book contains four lovely stories of mythical lands and happily ever afters. From witches, sorcerers, curses, magic and romance. From forced marriages, roses forever put into ice, to a beautiful Phoenix. The stories take you away to far off lands and lets your imagination run wild. Although some stories were more powerful, better written and entertaining, I found it to be a wonderful collection and I can't wait to read the others in "Once Upon..." Great stories.
Stories the Story behind the Stories by Bette Lee Crosby on kindle. Finished 5 starsA wonderful book from Bette Lee Crosby where she tells how the ideas came to her for her different books and how these wonderful characters are generated. Some were by thoughts, visiting a certain place, stories that her readers had shared with her, and some from her own life and experiences. It was very interesting to read not only the excerpts from the books, but also to read favorite quotes from the stories by readers. She also includes a guideline of her books and series, so that you get every bit of enjoyment out of them. I loved reading the synopsis of each book. It reminded me how much I enjoyed and loved everyone of her books.
I am reading
. It is the third in her Celtic Brooch trilogy. So far I liked the second book best, but for the price these were pretty good. No Outlander, but I have enjoyed them.
Gritty and dark, In the Barren Ground
by Loreth Anne White has characters that don't follow the expected H/h pattern.My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

No Outlander, but..."Was reading the description of the first book and it's kind of similar to the Order of the Dragon Knight series. Which I love. And also, it's set in my state! Only a few hours from me :) I may give them a try.
The biggest issue I had with them is the continued use of electronics (iPhone, iPad, trackers, etc) while they are in the 19th century. But I guess if I am pushing the limits to allow for time travel in the first place, I can give a little further.
I'm reading
and
to finish my last challenge for August and then I'm going on a binge read of Nora Roberts. I have to organize her books that I have so that I make sure if I don't have all in series or that are connected I can get them See how many I can get to add to the 1000 book challenge

Prisoner of My Desire by Johanna Lindsey in paperback. Finished 2 starsA story of what greed will make you do. As having your step-sister rape a man only to become impregnated by him so he can pawn the child off as another's to gain a castle and army. Also by beating her mother while she watches so she does it save her mothers life. Then in turn, when the man finds her out, treats her the same for revenge. This is a story you either love or hate, or love to hate. I found the contents disturbing the story itself good. Even though it is fantasy, I found myself disgusted with some of it along with the characters. It is extremely graphic and the story of rape upsets me, that is just me. I did not like how the story ended. I found the book to be very emotionally raw and dark. There is one thing for a person to forgive, but another to be stupid. I love her books, and by all means I will continue to read her work. This one was just not my cup of tea.
Finished
and loved it. One of Sandra Brown's best.Now reading
by Susan Elizabeth Phillips and it is wonderful.

I got my copy from the library - overdrive - the audio and the e-book.
Its a good book, but the beginning seems a bit slow, I was glad when it picked up
I am really enjoying Drop Shot. Myron Bolitar is hilarious. Very witty book. Love Harlan's easy flowing writing style. Will definitely try and get the rest in the series.

Finished
(Blood Destiny Series by Helen Harper)
Loved the series overall. Some tedious parts and sometimes the main character bugged me a little because she was a bit too over the top, but still a good read.
Finished
by Mary Morgan. The 5th in her series Order of the Dragon Knights series. I recently found out she was a new author, and I'm amazed, because I do not read a lot of historical romance, and I really LOVED these books :)) highly recommended. Also finished

Yes, probably. I am liking the book so far and I didn't with the last couple I tried of hers so that is a good sign.

I have been catching up on all the Newest Nora books. The obsession, the liar and now stars of fortune
I'm jumping all around lately. I'm around 20 percent in to
by Julie Garwood. Excited about this one since it has tons of high reviews from a lot of GR friends. And I've read all the Claybornes from Garawood and loved them, so I'm familiar with this author a little bit and have high hopes this will be a great read!
