iTunes handles WMA downloads miserably (it's what I use). From dropping parts to the inability to sort them to downloading as separate books, it's just one big frustration.

I completely agree and I know I've complained relentlessly about it. Lol! On another note, I just discovered the BDB series in audio on Scribd as well so I'm definitely going to check out the audio now!

That's fantastic. Scribd is saving me a fortune!"


Me too! I love it!

Ooh! Can't wait for your feedback. I just started listening to the series and now prefer that format.

I was very excited to find it! At the moment they only have up to Lover at Last which is where I'm at so I'll definitely listen to that one and hopefully Scribd will pick up the newest couple soon.

Monica | 860 comments I just read More Than This by Jay McLean and unfortunately did not like it very much. Imagine everything that could possibly go wrong in a girl's life (minus assault), and it happened to the main character. It was just too much. And she was more concerned with a boy she just met than waaaay more important things. It just all fell flat.

More Than This (More Than, #1) by Jay McLean


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 2447 comments I am now listening to Hunting Ground (Alpha & Omega, #2) by Patricia Briggs (Book 2) Patricia Briggs.

Melissa (melissasd) | 1610 comments I finished reading Crystal Keepers by Brandon Mull which is book #3 in the Five Kingdoms series. I'm now up to date until next year.

I'm still reading Dead Beat by Jim Butcher (Dresden Files #7) and The Colorado Kid by Stephen King. I have started reading Kraken and Lies by Tui T. & Kari Sutherland (The Menagerie #3).

Monica | 860 comments I finished The Hooker and the Hermit by L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid. From reviews that I read, I was hoping to be blown away, but unfortunately I wasn't. I enjoyed it though, just not as much as I expected.

Melissa (melissasd) | 1610 comments I finished reading The Colorado Kid by Stephen King this morning, 3 ★. I was a bit disappointed by it, but I'll still continue to read his books.

I'm now starting Snow Blind by P.J. Tracy (Monkeewrench #4).

I finished Bringing Home the Bad Boy by Jessica Lemmon, Second Chances #1, and enjoyed it, despite a too-angsty heroine. Here's my review.

I also finished Worth the Risk by Claudia Connor, McKinney Brothers #2, and enjoyed it, too, especially the inclusion of the characters from the first book. Here's my review.

I'm now starting Midnight Shadows by Ella Grace, Wildefire #3.

Monica | 860 comments I finished Midnight Shadows by Ella Grace and really enjoyed it. I liked the suspense aspect of this one, but the romance kind of disappointed me. Also, there was one other issue that bugged me through the whole book, but I dealt with it. And now I want more Logan, Brody, and another someone whom shall remain unnamed to avoid spoilers.

And now I am reading the much anticipated The Friend Zone by Kristen Callihan. I will gobble up anything this author writes.

I love this series. It is one of my favorites, and its audiobooks are in my top 5 for sure. The narrator (Bahni Turpin) is amazing, she gives life to these characters.

Ditto what Monica said. The audiobook format takes this story/series to a whole new level.

Sunny (wkonsunshine) | 426 comments I loved the The Friend Zone (Game On, #2) by Kristen Callihan . Kristen Callihan can take a well-used trope and make is special.

I didn't get any reading done last night but read up to chapter 9 or 10 this morning and will probably read rest when I get home tonight from work.

I've got the third book in this series on my plan this month. Did you enjoy it?


message 1525: by Charlene (new)

Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 656 comments Jonetta, I looked it up and see I didn't rate it. I think I must have read it, but I might have to check it out again to make sure. Book 4 seems to continue from Book 2, so I'm now going to have to get back to you!

I finished listening to Hooked by Tiffinie Helmer, Romance on the Edge #2, narrated by Mia Chiaromonte, and really enjoyed it. The narrator improved in her performance of the suspense aspects from the first book. Here's my review.

I finished reading Midnight Shadows by Ella Grace, Wildefire #3, and loved it! This final book in the trilogy was much more suspenseful than the first two. We're trying to convince the author to do a spinoff or a novella for a couple of the characters from the story. Here's my review.

I am now reading The Bridge to a Better Life by Ava Miles, Dare Valley #8, and am listening to Sweet Release by Pamela Clare, Blakewell/Kenleigh #1.

I am so glad to hear this. I see a couple of audiobook are available through our library so I will check them out. I'm a compulsive collector though so if I love them I will probably go to Audible and add them to my library :-)

These are audiobooks I definitely don't regret spending my Audible credits on, lol. I've listened to them again here and there. So good.


message 1531: by Monica (new)

Monica | 860 comments I finished The Friend Zone (book #2 Game On) by Kristen Callihan and loved it times a million. So good. Callihan writes excellent paranormal romance, but her NA game is super strong.

I'm thinking of taking a break from NA before I burn out. Now to decide what's next!

I also finished Midnight Shadows (Wildefire, #3) by Ella Grace and am in the minority in not loving it. For me, it wasn't as good as the other books in the series mainly because the heroine is unappealing to me. I loved the hero though and would definitely read more if they were written.

When you can't connect with a character, it will definitely lessen your enjoyment. Sabrina was annoying in her stubbornness (though I still liked her:)). Ian was hard not to love!

Monica | 860 comments I just finished listening to Murder of Crows (book #2 The Others) by Anne Bishop and it did not disappoint. I liked the first book a bit more, but this one got 4.5 stars and the first got 5, so not too much more, haha. The audio is very well-done also. I enjoyed the narrator.

Robin (robinmy) | 3513 comments I finished reading Biting Cold (Chicagoland Vampires, #6) by Chloe Neill Biting Cold by Chloe Neill. I liked the book overall, but there were parts that left me annoyed.

Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 656 comments I just finished reading David Baldacci's first book in a new series Memory Man by David Baldacci and I really enjoyed it. A kind of unlikely leading man who was a fascinating character. I'll look forward to the second installment. I wonder how fast someone can write a 400+ page hardcover?

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Charlene. I am hoping to read it this month too :)


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 2447 comments I finished listening to Fireproof by Alex Kava and am now listening to Delusion in Death by JD Robb - and this one has started with a huge bang! I am reading Pilgrim's Rest by Patricia Wentworth.

Sorry I didn't read Fireproof (Maggie O'Dell, #10) by Alex Kava with you Kris. I'm bogged down with challenge books. I've really got to cut down on those.

Monica | 860 comments I just started listening to Diary of an Accidental Wallflower (book 1 Seduction Diaries) by Jennifer McQuiston and I cannot get enough. I'm making up chores to do just so I can listen to the story.

That's the only problem with the printed version, fewer things get down around my house, too.

I finished listening to Sweet Release by Pamela Clare, Kenleigh-Blakewell Families #1, narrated by Kaleo Griffith whose performance was excellent. I enjoyed the story and will definitely continue the series.

I'm listening to The Stranger by Harlan Coben, narrated by George Newbern. I'm halfway through and hooked.

lorii (Loriidae) I read A Cold Dark Place (Cold Justice, #1) by Toni Anderson (Cold Justice, #1) by Toni Anderson for one of the groups I belong to.

I loved it so much that I binge read #2 and #3 and as #4 is out at the end of May I am eagerly hanging out for that.

A romantic suspense with a nice blend of romance and suspense. Three x 5star reads from this author.
