message 301: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 980 comments This is late but.. I loved Play It Safe by Kristen Ashley ! Which is saying something because KA and I have a sketchy relationship, lol. I either love her books or I hate them. No in between! It depends on how much fashion crap I have to listen to, lol. And how strong her female characters are. Strong Alpha males need a strong Alpha Female not a Princess. But that's just my opinion and my KA rant...feel free to ignore me :) You know, since I'm not even on this team, lol.

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments Haha rant away Nichole

message 308: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments Still haven't read the Kate Daniels ones yet? Not sure if it will be too fantasy, is it a little like Cat & Bones I liked them?


message 309: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 980 comments Yeah, but even better! Of course, I'm biased because they're one of my favorite authors, so...


message 310: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments I may try them then


message 311: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments I can't believe you haven't read The Girl in 6E yet Nichole!!!!
I think you'll like it, sexy and suspense what more do you need??


message 312: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 980 comments Magic? LOL!


message 313: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments Hmmm I can cope with some magic, like I loved the IAD series and I was really reluctant to read it as it's totally not my thing at all

Aaah Barrons..... I have a bit of a crush on him as well. He's yum!

Also, on a different note: I SURVIVED the hen party :-D Some more major drama this morning, continuation of yesterday because some people cannot shut up (or grow up) but the rest of the day was actually quite good.


message 316: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments ooh I'm off to bed now but I'll read up in the morning, glad you had a good time X

Night all

Anymore for anymore???

Where is Teresa???"


Working, gaming with the fam, napping, what Nichole said...

. I can't seem to commit to the same five. It changes with every book I read and most of my BB are gay. What does that mean?!

I might do my own little pre-challenge challenge...reading the books you've posted that I haven't read...what do you think?"


I have been thinking of doing this, too.

And I love you for it.


message 320: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 980 comments That's great, E! Except for the drama part :)

I haven't read Kate Daniels either.

I'm really picky about my uf/pnr stories.

I read Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter, #1) by Nalini Singh and it was okay.

I absolutely love the Immortals After Dark, and BDB of course.


message 322: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments V, I think you'd like Kate Daniels AFTER the first book...I think you need to get past that one and then you'd be hooked


message 323: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Like the killer/assasins!

Special Forces (Special Forces, #1-3) by Aleksandr Voinov Vadim
Heartsick (Gretchen Lowell, #1) by Chelsea Cain Gretchen
The Way of Shadows (Night Angel, #1) by Brent Weeks Oh, Kylar!

message 325: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments HaHa! No kidding ~ you survived E! And bonus that you had some fun too!

Love the killer/assassin list! Mine would pretty much follow V's... OK, ya, she has my same top 5.

There's a lot with Gretchen! She's sooo awesome!

I did like Creep by Jennifer Hillier too! Forgot about that one!

Vadim goes in my book boyfriend list. He can't compare to anyone. I think I've read that series about a dozen times from front to back.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I love that you have Celaena, Nichole!!!!

Added!


message 329: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Me too Tamika, my all time favorite m/m...one of the few that I have electronic (both editions) and paperback :)

Everyone time I read it I feel like I can't function in the real world for weeks!


message 330: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 980 comments Hmm, that sounds interesting but I don't know if I have that kind of commitment in me right now, lol. I'll add it for later though. I've been pretty Meh about my books lately. It's starting to make me pissy :) I need something GREAT! Either something funny or something that makes me cry or just something! I'm just so very blah. Which is why I'm going to bed at 9pm on a Saturday. Well, that and I have to work tomorrow :P


message 331: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Here's my last good cry book... V recommended it and it was really good
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

One Tara Jo recommended this one and I loved it! It's not your regular zombie book...
Thicker Than Blood (Thicker Than Blood, #1) by Claire C. Riley

I don't read many funny books apparently but was going to recommend Tara Sivec's Seduction & Snacks but see you've already read it!
This one was pretty funny too -
Lingus by Mariana Zapata

I feel the exact same way. It leaves me emotionally drained. I have highlighted the series from front to back. He's done some disturbing things and yet I love him so much.

Have you read Fallocaust (Fallocaust, #1) by Quil Carter ? It's dystopian but brutal as shit!!! Very dark things happen and push your comfort levels.

Have you read Strong Signal (Cyberlove, #1) by Megan Erickson ? It's really good.

And not to forget Durzo, because he is really awesome, too :-)


message 335: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 980 comments I've read Thicker Than Blood (Thicker Than Blood, #1) by Claire C. Riley , I've added Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys and I've bumped up Lingus by Mariana Zapata .

I also bought Strong Signal (Cyberlove, #1) by Megan Erickson - sounds right up my alley!

Thanks Ladies!

ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 226 comments I read Strong Signal because Tamika recommended it. Good dirty talk in that one. I loved the story.

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments For anyone interested, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah is on sale today at Amazon for $2.99.


message 342: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Is anyone else a soccer (football) fan?

I watched 5 matches yesterday and am anxiously awaiting the 3rd match for today :). US win yesterday was a nail bitter, it was such a fast paced game!

Having the Euros and Copa America at the same time is hard!

Thanks Karen!

This is one of those love/hate books in terms of reviews that I've been on the fence about reading it.


message 344: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments Ugh the Euros is taking over here, more for the stupid bloody English fans more than anything, the Welsh have gone out there and been brilliant, singing with everyone and having fun, but the English grrrrr makes me mad, and ashamed to say I'm English sometimes!!!!


message 345: by Tara (new)

Tara | 1259 comments I listened to the audio of Nightingale...not typically a huge HF fan, but i really enjoyed this one. Not sure if i had read it insr9wad of audio if I'd have felt the same.


message 346: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments I tried that one but I didn't like it, I know K did, I'll maybe try it again sometime


message 347: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments The whole English and Russian fans thing has been scary! I just don't get it :(

Loved the Wales game, those fans were great and the team was strong!


message 348: by Rosina (new)

Rosina | 1800 comments thanks Abbie the trilogy is on sale on ki dle for 2$ each. might pick them up


message 349: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5095 comments I know ST the violence is disgraceful, what they are looking to achieve I don't know!!!

Eldarwen | 13717 comments Mod
Same shit every few years, more or less... So annoying. But people seem to be getting stupider every year. And they definitely don't learn.
There is a reason why a lot of the captains (or all of them? haven't looked that closely) have a "no to racism" band as their captain's band.

I am watching those games I can catch but I kind of lost my enthusiasm for euro and world cups in the last couple of years though I still try to catch as many games as possible. I watched the first half of Germany/Ukraine just now and it was quite interesting but I'm so knackered, I'm not sure I'm going to watch a lot of the second half now.
