What are you reading in 2016?
I am reading the actual book and really struggling to get through it. Glad I am not the only one. It would be easier I think with the audio. Wish I had it.
I think I've heard a couple of others comment that they were having trouble getting through it also. That's a shame. I am still waiting for a copy from the library...I'm not worried about getting it now.
I am a little disappointed, it had been on my to read list for a while. I got in to it a little in the beginning but now I am just not that interested. I will find a way to get through it.
You know, it happens once in awhile - a book that you anticipated to be pretty good disappoints you. If it was bothering me that much, I'd just dnf it and move on.
Yeah, I agree with you, Sheri. I was going to read it in book format but the elibrary just bought an audio copy so thought I would try it and so glad I did that. (I think it was just recently reissued). Lol, Sandra!

Quite the reading machine, you! Good slate of books, Sheri. I've got Fatal Frenzy on my plan this month.

I finished listening to The Bay At Midnight by Diane Chamberlain and while I liked the story, one of the narrators, Julie McKay, had a highly annoying affectation. Whenever she had to say, "he/she said," she would separate it from the sentence and draw out "sa-aid" as if it were a question. It was extremely distracting, which is such a shame because otherwise, the performance of all three narrators was fine. 3.5 stars and here's my review.
I'm now listening to Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt, narrated by Ashford Mcnab.

I understand that too. There's just so many great books out there that I struggle with making myself finish something that isn't holding my attention.

This week I read
The Unsung Hero by Suzanne Brockmann. I wish I hadn't wait so long to start this series. I loved it.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Then I read
Only a Duke Will Do by Sabrina Jeffries. This book started off well but seemed to lose steam somewhere in the middle.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished my first "Nora Roberts" the other night.

I agree, the audio is wonderful!!
I finished Fatal Truth by Misty Evans, Shadow Force #1, and thought it pretty exciting. Here's my review.
I'm now reading What Was Mine by Helen Klein Ross.

I have really enjoyed the Sweetwater series. when Jesse made his appearance I got a little excited. LOL sorry Jonetta
I'm reading the Forever and Always trilogy by E.L. Todd. I'm certainly glad that I got this collection for free, or I'd be annoyed. The premise of the stories is good but the writing is sophomoric, the 2 main characters are irritating, the books have instalove( a huge pet peeve of mine) and some of the scenarios just don't make sense. Thank goodness I'm almost done.
Finshed:
- was just bored. maybe expected more or different then it was.
- pretty good regular old adult fantasy. Politics, war, mention of magic and dragons. I dont know what it is with some of the adult fantasy though and having some parts that are unnecessarily graphic or crude. Maybe to remind the reader its adult I dont know.

Currently I'm reading The Collector by Nora Roberts. Ir's about a house-sitter who witnesses a murder. So far it has been pretty good.
Finished listening to Fatal Frenzy and absolutely loved it but it really made me cry. and laugh.....hate that I have to wait till July for the next book fatal Identity. this has been an awesome series thus far.

Hmmm...maybe I need to wait to read this one.

It was a great read and I couldn't wait any longer to read it but it is going to be hard waiting. it is an emotional book and somewhat heartbreaking.

It was very poignant in the way it began. I think you can read it now unless you were wanting to save it for closer to the release date of the next one.
I finished What Was Mine by Helen Klein Ross (not in a series) and it was really good, perfect for a book discussion. Here's my review.
I'm now reading Fatal Frenzy by Marie Force, Fatal #9.

Couldn't agree more, Sheri. Great book. The Fatal series has definitely moved in right behind In Death as my favorite series. Frenzy had just about everything, didn't it?

Sheri...I am about 65% into Whispers (listening to on audio) and if it wasn't audio I don't know if I could make it all the way through. I am hoping to finish tonight
