Bahahah. Don't we all!!

I'm debating between starting Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1) by Ilona Andrews or re-reading Vision in Silver (The Others, #3) by Anne Bishop while waiting for book 4 to be released soon.

Robin (robinmy) | 1389 comments It took all week but I finally finished Close to You (O'Neil Brothers #2) by Kathryn Shay Close to You by Kathryn Shay. I usually like Shay's books, but this one really dragged for me.

Today I read Snatched (Will Trent #5.5) by Karin Slaughter Snatched by Karin Slaughter. It's a novella but it is well worth reading. I loved it.

Sheri Morell (smorell22) | 2165 comments So I started listening to Over the Edge (Troubleshooters, #3) by Suzanne Brockmann a day early. Really enjoying so far. I finished The Good Girl by Mary Kubica and was a little disappointed. It was good but not quite what i was expecting. I will say that I did not expect the ending. I am still working on Sleeping with Fear (Bishop/Special Crimes Unit #9) by Kay Hooper

Namita  (-namita) | 209 comments I know what you mean Jonetta. I started with Ghost Hunter but a friend said to read Arcane Society first and than move back to GH.
I'm really enjoying the books though. Great, unique reads.

That's a really good series although it can be confusing with all the backwards and forwards in time periods.

FYI, the instructions are in the Q&A section:

And, if you can't remember, just type ****SPOILER ALERT*** above your comments. That works, too.

I finished Barefoot with a Stranger by Roxanne St. Claire, Barefoot Bay Undercover #2, and loved it! If I didn't have an upcoming commitment I'd jump right into the next book. Here's my review.

I'm now reading Stripped Raw by Prescott Lane. She's one of the few authors in the NA genre that I read.

message 233: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (sekay88) Can't believe how I've gotten hooked on some of the better CR series. Binge read Robin Carr's "Virgin River" and "Thunder Point" series', Jill Shalvis' "Lucky Harbor" series and am now binge-ing on Susan Mallery's "Fool's Gold" series.

The books are very formulaic, but the stories by these top shelf writers in the genre are so good, and the ongoing characters so likeable, that it really doesn't matter. In a lot of ways, similar to In Death in that you come to love the characters as they change and contribute through the series.

I've actually made a presentation to a group of guys pointing out that with all the negativity that is dumped on us every day, what exactly could be wrong with reading something that is an entertaining story, makes you feel good and always has a HEA. Told them to ignore the covers and titles, though! ;-)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 15048 comments Mod
Oh, Courtney, I remember binge reading Virgin River and reading the Thunder Point books immediately as they became available.

Also did a mini binge of Lucky Harbor!

Kudos to you for advocating for the genre!

Thanks, Jonetta. Note that Robyn Carr's new series, "Sullivan's Crossing" releases in April. What We Find (Sullivan's Crossing, #1) by Robyn Carr . First previewed chapter is up to Virgin River standards.

message 242: by Robin (new)

Robin (robinmy) | 1389 comments I finished two books today. First I finished The Soul Catcher (Maggie O'Dell, #3) by Alex Kava The Soul Catcher by Alex Kava. I enjoyed this one even though I figured out the killer early in the book.

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

And, I finally finished listening to Fragile (Jones Cooper, #1) by Lisa Unger Fragile by Lisa Unger. The pacing of this book was soooooo slooooow, it was painful.
