Monica | 860 comments I finished reading a stand-alone, Where the Stars Still Shine by Trish Doller and it was very good, realistic YA. It deals with some pretty heavy topics, but they were believable and made me uncomfortable, which to me means the job was done.

Melissa (melissasd) | 1610 comments I finished reading Dead Beat by Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files #7) and Krakens and Lies by Tui T. Sutherland (The Menagerie #3) which finished the series. Both books rated 4 ★.

Monica | 860 comments I just finished listening to the first book in the Seduction Diaries series Diary of an Accidental Wallflower by Jennifer McQuiston and I loved every moment of it. I really liked the heroine, flaws and all, and I loved the hero. McQuiston has yet to disappoint! And the narrator, Lana J. Weston was fantastic. She has a great voice and it was easy to differentiate between characters. She narrates McQuiston's Second Son series (which I also highly recommend).

Diary of an Accidental Wallflower (Seduction Diaries, #1) by Jennifer McQuiston

Now I am reading All Played Out (book #3 Rusk University) by Cora Carmack. So far so good, Torres is living up to my expectations thus far.

And I'm going to be starting the audiobook for End of Days by Susan Ee. This is the third and final book in her Penryn and the End of Days series that I have been highly anticipating. It's downloading on my phone as I type this to pass the time, lol.

I finished The Bridge to a Better Life by Ava Miles, Dare Valley #8. The story was much more intense than the others in the series but it still has all the normal charming elements. Here's my review.

I'm now starting Ember by Kristen Callihan, the prequel to the Darkest London series.

You've really got me psyched about McQuiston.

Second Shot (Charlie Fox Thriller, #6) by Zoë Sharp

My Review for #6
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Now I'm reading #7 - Third Strike, Third Strike (Charlie Fox Thriller, #7) by Zoë Sharp which is just as good as the rest.

I am sad, though, I see that book #8 is not offered as an ebook even though, on her website, there is a link for ebook. So, I guess I stop at #7 until it is.

I finished listening to The Stranger by Harlan Coben and while I really enjoyed it, I was disappointed in the ending. Good narrator, too.

I'm now listening to Firelight by Kristen Callihan, Darkest London #1.

lorii (Loriidae) I decided to finish out Julie Garwood's Buchannan-Renard series. I have found that I prefer to binge read a series rather than reading one or two a month. #6 Shadow Dance, #7 Fire and Ice, #8 Sizzle #9 The Ideal Man and am currently reading #10 Sweet Talk

All solid 4-star reads with my favourite of this batch being The Ideal Man and 5-stars.

I just finished listening to Dark Road to Darjeeling (Lady Julia, #4) by Deanna Raybourn book #4 in the Lady Julia Grey series. One more left in the series and the author will not be writing any more installments, which is disappointing as I love the characters.

Now listening to The Mummy Case (Amelia Peabody, #3) by Elizabeth Peters book #3 in the Amelia Peabody series. I'm not even a chapter in and giggling my head off :0)

I binge read this series until I was current with Sizzle (the most current at the time I started) and remember loving the experience. Glad you're enjoying, too.

I did not know she was ending at book 5! Book 4 is next for me. I love this series, and it's one I wouldn't have minded going on longer. But I guess the fact she hasn't written a full length story for this series since 2011 should have been my first clue...

Yeah, she wrote a couple of novellas after the 5th book but even that is now at an end.

She started a new series set in the 1920s but only published one book and now she has a new Victorian series coming out in 2015 supposedly with three books planned. I also read that the Lady Julia series was optioned for a TV series, which is exciting.

I actually heard about the TV series, so that is pretty exciting. I just added A Curious Beginning to my TBR. Sounds promising.

Robin (robinmy) | 3513 comments I read Surrender by Amanda Quick Surrender by Amanda Quick. I liked the first half but thought the second half was just OK.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Then I read Killer Takes All by Erica Spindler Killer Takes All by Erica Spindler. Again, the first half of the book was great, but I didn't buy into the reasoning behind the murders.

I finished Cold Pursuit by Toni Anderson, Cold Justice #2, and liked it a lot. Anderson is a very good storyteller and concocted a really intricate plot. Review to come.

I'm reading the next book in the series, Cold Light of Day.

I've decided to keep right on going and read Biting Bad which is book #8. I've been having a hard time with my reading this month so I'm just going with the flow. :)

I finished Cold Light of Day by Toni Anderson and it's another winner with quite the surprise twist at the end.

I'm now reading Scream for Me by Karen Rose. Typical of this series, I got hooked by the prologue.

Monica | 860 comments I read Confessions of a Reformed Tom Cat by Daisy Prescott and didn't realize it was part of a series (book #4!!!) until I was adding it here on Goodreads. However, they can supposedly be read as standalones. And since I never got lost, I'm going to say that they work fine just on their own. I thought this was a very cute story. It was the perfect palate cleanser after some heavy NA and UF.

I finished listening to Firelight by Kristen Callihan, first book in the Darkest London series. It was incredibly interesting...a mix of paranormal and historical romance. The narrator was also very good.

I'm now listening to Pray for Silence by Linda Castillo, Kate Burkholder #2. I got hooked immediately.

I never read out of order, so I'm kind of having a moment right now. I went back and forth on whether or not I should read books 1-3 just to feel better. But then I realized, I survived reading out of order! Lol. I won't make it a habit, but hey, you gotta enjoy what you want, when you want. That's what makes reading so fun.
