Trinity Finished Marked (House of Night #1) by P.C. Cast can't say that I really liked it, 2 stars from me. I'm not sure what to read next lol!

Trinity Going to start reading Sweet Evil (The Sweet Trilogy, #1) by Wendy Higgins I wasn't planning on reading it this month but I'm still on hold at my library for the other two books I want to read, so in the meantime I'll be tackling this book.

lorii (Loriidae) I realised that I am down to one must read regency historical author Stephanie Laurens and her latest book is set later than regency as it is the HEA of the son of a previous book so obviously is set thirty years later. Any way this long story does have a point I have been trying new authors:

I started with Christina Dodd's Governess Brides, read the first two, Rules of Surrender (Governess Brides, #1) by Christina Dodd and Rules of Engagement (Governess Brides Series, Book #2) by Christina Dodd . They were well written with a good story line but set in Victorian England, and I prefer Regency.

I then read Jennifer McQuiston Second Sons series What Happens in Scotland (Second Sons, #1) by Jennifer McQuiston and it was unusual and funny so I am on the lookout for the next in the series.

I then found Anne Gracie and fell in love with the Merridew Sisters. 5 stars reads for me.
Perfect Rake by Anne Gracie The Perfect Waltz (The Merridew Sisters, #2) by Anne Gracie The Perfect Stranger by Anne Gracie The Perfect Kiss (The Merridew Sisters, #4) by Anne Gracie

Who is your favourite Regency author?

message 1809: by D.G. (new)

D.G. Ever since I stopped joining group challenges, I've been in a wonderful reading streak. Lots of romance...

Anyhow, now I'm listening The Singer (Irin Chronicles, #2) by Elizabeth Hunter , which is the second book in this series. I'm not sure I recommend this series. The PNR aspect is too complicated, the action and love scenes are flat and there are too much politics. I'm in the second book because the first book is sort of cliffhangerish - the series has the same couple in all the books, which I usually like when the world building is strong but it isn't here.

It's why I stopped doing challenges. I'd rather read what I want instead of it fitting into criteria. Many love doing them and find them rewarding, which I think is great. They just don't fit my reading goals.

Good for you, D.G.
I've cut way back on my challenges and am only doing two, which more or less allow me to read what I want.

Sort of. I was in 2 team challenges (meaning, I belonged to a team and we had to read a book that fit a certain theme every week) and it was a bit too stressful. Now that I'm not in any, I'm reading just what I feel like and it's great.

I need some structure so challenges help me a lot but sometimes I join too many. I need to stop doing that.

Lately I'm getting more in the buddy reads. There are two books I've read this year because of BRs which were in my TBR since like 2011. :)

I finished Up From the Grave by Jeaniene Frost, the final book in the Night Huntress series, and loved it. There were a few surprises and the ending was unexpected. Now I can finally read Vlad's most recent book. Here's my review.

Still in a catching up mood so I'm reading Fast Track by Julie Garwood, Buchanan-Renard #12. This will bring me up to date in the series.

I just finished Fast Track by Julie Garwood, Buchanan Renard #12, and it was just okay. A good story that failed to connect emotionally. Here's my review.

I'm now reading the last book in the Last Chance Rescue series, Chances Are by Christy Reece.

I figured you'd enjoy Reunion! She had Eve on the run, didn't she?

I'm hoping to start Coyote next week.

Erin (erin36) | 484 comments With work and how I've been feeling I'm just realizing I haven't posted once in June!

So far I've read:
Primal Bonds by Jennifer Ashley and while I enjoyed it, I didn't like it as much as the previous book in the series. Not to mention that the book was riddled with errors. That really gets to me.

Sugar Daddy by Lisa Kleypas which I listened to as a re-read and I enjoyed it even more the second time around which I wouldn't have thought was even possible.

Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas which was also a re-read that I listened to on audio. What a pleasant surprise to discover it was narrated by none other than one of my audiobook heroes Renee Raudman :). The story was as awesome as I remembered.

Country Heaven by Ava Miles. I picked this up on a whim and was utterly charmed by the story.

Monica | 860 comments I finished Me Before You by Jojo Moyes and I don't know if I've ever had a book grip me like this one. It was absolutely amazing. I was bawling my eyes out. And oddly enough, a character that I was not crazy about is the character that I connected with the most because of one or two sentences! The words just spoke to me on another level and I'll forever remember them. The narration was so good, I highly recommend the audio route with this story. Although I usually read a book and listen to another book at the same time, this book consumed me and I couldn't pick up anything else. I'm still recovering, lol. I can't wait to try out this author's other work.

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

I hope you love it as much as I did. I cried while telling my husband about it. I kept saying, "I don't know what's wrong with me," and then burst into tears again, lol.

I'm listening to Gena Showalter's Alien Huntress series. I wasn't sure that I would enjoy it because its about Aliens and they aren't really my thing, but the audios are so engrossing (I love Justine Eyre's narration) and I'm hooked.

I've given up on Gena Showalter. I've tried several of her series (lords of underworld, angels) and I always end up abandoning the series.

I finished Say My Name by J. Kenner, Stark International #1, narrated by Abby Craden. Despite the many moments of angst and melodrama, heightened by the narrator, I ended up liking the story, enough that I'm now listening to the second book in the series, On My Knees. Go figure:)

I read most of the LOTU series (I love Greek mythology) but I've kind of stalled on book #9. I haven't read any of her newer stuff because I understand that her writing has taken a turn toward the tamer side since she became more religious. This series is one of her earlier ones so it is her older style.

I FINALLY finished Secret Harbor by Anna Sullivan, Windfall Island Trilogy #3. It was a good story but a bit too tedious. The first half was painful and the second really interesting.

I'm now reading Once and Again by Elisabeth Barrett, first book in her new series, Return to Briarwood.
