I finally finished The Rock Chick series
and I am having a major series hangover right now. My review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Jonetta wrote: "You binge read the series, right? Is it a good hangover?"It's a great hangover. I loved it. I need to choose my next book wisely. I have a hard time getting into a book sometimes when I loved what I have just read. I need to re read book one sometime though. I read that a few years ago and Indy underwhelmed me but I loved her in the rest.
Same thing happens to me. You and I experience books so similarly I had to ask:) Good luck with your next pick.

I'm in the opposite mood right now. The last three books I read were not so great and all the books had a hero whose true love died and he can't love another. Gag me. I'm rereading
I'm not a rereader usually, but sometimes you just need the comfort of what you know is a really great book.
I am currently listening to series
by Christi CaldwellNarration is by Tim Campbell so it is taking me some time to get use to a male's voice but I found the first book very good. Am now listening to the second in the series.
I read slightly ahead with
which I liked but not as much as the first one. This series is becoming a comfort weeknight reading.
I finished reading Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani, Big Stone Gap #1. I can count this as one of my Books to Movies reads. Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show....

I finished listening to The Bourbon Kings by J.R. Ward, The Bourbon Kings #1, and it’s a delicious, soapy saga. Here’s my review.
I finished Grace of a Hawk by Abbie Williams, Dove Trilogy #3, and it was as gut wrenching as I thought it would be. Here’s my review.
I finished Baby on the Bad Boy's Doorstep by Victoria James, Shadow Creek, Montana #4, and loved how it dealt with some really tough topics (domestic abuse, child abuse). Here’s my review.
I’m now listening to Right Where We Belong by Brenda Novak, Silver Springs #4, and reading Dark in Death by J.D. Robb, In Death #47.

I am starting a short ebook and getting back to a series I love and miss: Father Mine: Zsadist and Bella's Story by J.R. Ward, The Black Dagger Brotherhood book 6.5.
Today I finished
See No Evil by Allison Brennan. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Earlier in the week I read a couple short stories from
A Season in the Highlands.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My Goodreads page recommended these two books to me, and I could easily be persuaded to join a group read on either of them, as they're both the first book in a series. I will be looking for the second books soon.

I finished reading Father Mine: Zsadist and Bella's Story by J.R. Ward yesterday. Here's my review.
I'm now reading Fractured by Karin Slaughter.
Just a Kiss by Denise Hunter DNFI rarely DNF a book.
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Since I rarely DNF a book, I strongly suspect that the real reason I couldn't get into it is because I had Edge of Darkness waiting for me.
