Review:
I would have given this 5 stars but I almost had to be in the mood to read it. Some days I wouldn't pick it up and some days I couldn't put it down. Tiger, Cat and Bear and adorable and it's interesting branching out into their world and their abilities. I'm waiting to see more of Jonas - I'm that relationship will develop more and what will happen with the rifts?

Congrats on the stamp RC!

Belinda, I'm still on the fence with Tiger & Jonas. Cat & Bear are cute but those rifts are frightening.

[Lis]

Yay! Another stamp!! and I like the Outcast series too. Keri Arthur is one of the first authors I discovered when I started reading series... so she could write a series about cow shifters and I'd read it too.

Not doing so hot with this week's pick. If it doesn't grab me soon I might make a switch...

I don't know Belinda, what's your excuse????? LOL

[Lis]

That series is very good Belinda... Glad you like it...

I'm switching to . One person tagged it Kickass hero and I'm going with it... Vlad just isn't doing it...

I love Charley. I really should get back on track. I'm missing my Reyes time but Roarke also needs my time too ;-)

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Yay Lis! I just heard from my library that I can come and pick it up so I should be starting it soon :-)

Review: You can never go wrong with Harry Potter. I love this series. Ive only read these books over 20 times & they still bring a smile and lots of enjoyment. Harry is a boy that you cant help but cheer. He is constantly finding his way & when he heads to Hogwarts he seems to finally find his place in life. I never get tired of reading these books.

Review: Stephanie is at it again. I just love her because honestly there has never been anyone less suited for their job than she is but hey she makes it work. Between Morelli & Ranger its enough to drive you crazy & then when you throw in her crazy family the antics just get crazier. I cant wait to see what new antics she is prone to discover in her next book. Since I'm current on the series I like to go back & revisit her once in a while. She is still entertaining.

We need series finished, available at library, next in series, series to start, and shifters.

Or fae, magic, UF, 5 stars, and series to start.

And we're 4 shelves behind.

Finished Kickass Hero shelf



Title/Author: Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs
Series: Mercy Thompson #10
Date Read: 3/27/2017
Shelf: Kickass Hero Shelf
Pages: 371
Rating: ★★★★☆

Review: Mercy Mercy Mercy... always in the middle of chaos. This time she is targeted by European vampires and kidnapped. Of course you can't trap a coyote for long and she is on the run before Adam even steps foot in Italy for the rescue. Lots of history and folklore woven thru this edition of Mercy's world. The good, more allies and possible enemies as Mercy dodges vamps and treks into another alphas territory. The bad, not a lot of Adam and Mercy quality time in this one which was kind of a bummer. Always a good read.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Woohoo! Another stamp!

Ok now that my sons confirmation is over I am hoping to finish my books so we can get some more stamps :-)

Review: I really liked the first 3 books in this series much better than I liked this one. Princess Eadlyn is going thru the selection process much like her parents but honestly sometimes I wanted to smack her simply because she came across as being a spoiled chit. The book was nothing like the others with all of the drama. It mostly centered around the Princess getting to know her would be suitor so it was rather boring.

Review: I really liked this series. I absolutely loved the world R Riggs created. This one so did not disappoint. I thought that some of it was a little boring but all in all I think the author tied up all of the loose ends the first 2 books created rather nicely. I would love to see how the ending plays out in a future book or books but I'm satisfied with the way it ended.

I'm continuing with Charley Davidson for 5 star with .

I should finish tonight and am halfway through . I've only just started as I had to reset my iPod to factory settings and put everything back on it :(

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Belinda how did your w/e in Sydney go? At least the rain let up mostly.

[Belinda]

It was fun. The rain stayed away and we packed in so many things. We were exhausted when we got home

Oops I didn't post my Selection for 5 star book but I went with A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks

Review: I was in tears. So young! I love Nicholas Sparks books but as I was nearing the end, I had to take a break because I just couldn't continue and finally finished it very early this morning. I loved the book and I have to say I think I needed the tears since with all that been going on and the stress that I've been going through lately it was a relief to let go of some steam. This was a great tear jerker. The fact that someone could fall in love in 18 days is just so sweet. Loved it :)

Review: I really wasn't sure what to expect from this book or this series. I was thinking it would be like the other book I have read by this author but it was more like the Hunger Games or Divergent series. I seriously enjoyed the book more than I thought I would. I cant wait to see what is next for Calena.

Review:
I heard about Charley, I've seen the books around but never, ever picked one up, never read a blurb, never even considered them....until now! And I've been missing out!! Charley is the grim reaper, helping souls cross over, she runs a PI business and with the uncle, who's a cop, solves murders. Throw a spanner in the works with Reyes invading her dreams and you've got a highly entertaining storyline. Hooked!!!!

Finished 5 Star book



Title/Author: Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart by Sarah MacLean
Series: Love by Numbers #3
Date Read: 3/31/2017
Shelf: 5 Star
Pages: 367
Rating: ★★★★☆

Review: This wasn't quite a 5 star read for me, but very enjoyable and I devoured the pages quickly. I happened on this series as a break to the PNR/UF worlds and historical romances are one of my guilty pleasures. This is the last in the Love by Numbers trilogy and attempts to love match up the sibling of the handsome St John twins, their half sister from Italy Juliana Fiori. She is a gorgeous Italian beauty and a scandal just waiting to happen with her lack of knowledge of English society rules. She has a great support team behind her as her new sister-in-law tries to introduce her via the right balls and outings. Unfortunately, she keeps running into the proper Duke of Leighton, aka the Duke of Disdain... He tries very hard not to be swept up in Juliana's wake, but quickly finds himself fighting duty vs his growing attraction. Good view of how society and the members of the ton worked and all the crazy societal restraints they placed on these poor girls who made a match in the narrow window they had while one the marriage market, or spinsterhood it was... Seldom would a love match occur, which is very sad. These girls were not much better than prized breeding stock. So these books of women who went against the flow, makes for fun reading even if they are just fiction. You kind of hope there were a few gals with spunk back in the day that rocked this proper world. Continuing on with the spinoff series, which lucky for me I'm late to the game and it is already a finished series.

[Lis]

My 5 star book flew but my "Next in Series" pick is dragging... Pushing to finish to make room for The Chosen which better fit this week's shelf.... fingers crossed... Happy Reading!

Review: I enjoyed The 5th Wave. Cassie was a strong character but Ringer wasn't a fave for me since she was a bit too angry and nasty to everyone around her. I think a bit of a revamp on her attitude. Everyone is in the same boat bit that doesn't mean that you should be nasty all the time.
