Is that bad, Ashley? You could easily just read 6 books that have been on your TBR forever :)

Finished #2

been sitting pretty on TBR since Dec 2011. Adult

[Diane]

How are you liking that series? I read the first one and liked it a lot but never got to the next. I keep thinking I have to pick it back up but other books get in the way.

[Hillary]

I like the series. I didn't like Tricked as much I've liked the others but I did enjoy it. Oberon is awesome and only gets better as things progress. The series is worth continuing. I'm sad it took me so long to get back into it, but am happy to be in it again.

[Cintia]

Hey, guys, is still possible to participate? I know I'm late, but I've only come across this challenge this week, and I really liked the categories.

[Kdbrand]

Finished #1 . This book is written by a former colleague of mine. We taught together many years ago. It has been on my TBR list since March 2014.

I think it is never too late to start. Besides we are still in the first month so you have plenty of time to finish. Gremlin will just have to add your name.

Glad to hear that! This is fun, and it's really comforting to know I'm not the only one with books in all these categories! Lol!

I'm slogging through Uncommon criminals at the moment and it's not it's bad or anything but I'm just not that into it. I realise why I put this series to the side ages ago and wondering whether I should continue or not. Is number 3 any better?

I actually thought uncommon criminals was okay. Perfect scoundrels is (for me) on the bad side. I got very frustrated with the characters. If you're dying to see how the series wraps up, then I would read it. At least they aren't too long!

[Christie]

Finished my 2nd . This is a series that I began but have not read in 6 months. Updated post #10.

Lol this is true. I dunno, I think I like it when I can do challenges evenly. This one feels very one-sided haha!

For TBR (book #2 for challenge) *Finished 10/25/16*

[Barb]

Finished my 4th -

I started reading this as an ebook last June, but just couldn't get into it. I discovered my library offered hoopla, so I listened to it instead, and it was much more engrossing that way.

Updated post 17.

[Ashley Marie]

updated post 21 with an owned/non-YA book :)

He really did. Though the music restarts right at the very end, and I nearly jumped out of my skin! Totally startled me.

ooooh I didn't find the audio for these until book 3, but I agree, I really enjoyed Will Patton!

Yeah I have come to expect that from anything by Maggie. If you haven't read the Scorpio Races, try that in audio. It is good as well.

[Casey]

Finished my 1st!

Scorpio Races is one of my all-time favorite audio books!

It's pretty high up there on my list too! I loved Steve West's narration. The woman wasn't bad either but his parts stuck in my head. I don't think I would have liked the book nearly as much had I not listened to the audio. I may even have to re-listen...hm...

[Amber]

Finished # 3 : - another series. This is probably middle-grade.

It was really good!
