Good for you! Her self-published books are much more reasonably priced.

I finished Training Complex by Leta Blake a week ago. It is the follow up to Training Season and was the book I struggled through. Here's my review.

This is such great news! I have this up in the next few months.

Monica | 860 comments I have finished Dark Heir (book 9 Jane Yellowrock) by Faith Hunter and I loved it. This was a really good one. It's such a great thing that we're 9 books (and a bunch of novellas) into this series and Hunter is still able to give us originality, character growth, and a story that does not go stale. I cannot wait until the next book! Or her newest series, even if Rick makes an appearance ;)

I am now listening to The Countess Conspiracy (book 3 The Brothers Sinister) by Courtney Milan.

This is really one of the best narrated series out there. Hvam really hits it out of the park. I do, on occasion, listen to it at 1.25-1.5 speed because Hunter includes so much detail, but I can't skim or skip, I just love it too much. They are lengthier than most audiobooks. This one was almost 16 hours.

I recommended this series to my sister-in-law who loves it and is current! Maybe in 2016....

No maybe about it! I am 100% confident that you will love this series. Not to be pushy ;) And I love that you recommended this series, lol.

I really appreciate your being pushy. I'm loving Maiden Lane, which was definitely influenced by your push (with some help from Lauren):)


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 2447 comments Because I don't have enough series I thought I would start another one ;) I am listening to The Diviners (Book 1) by Libba Bray (I am in a YA mood I guess as I am reading a suspense YA - standalone- The Escape by Hannah Jayne).

I finished The Truth About Him by Molly O'Keefe, second book in the series, and loved it. And, Molly says she's got two more books planned, which I was thrilled to learn as there are secondary characters I wasn't done with.

I'm now reading Devoted in Death!

I'm not used to seeing you read much YA!


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 2447 comments Lol, yeah I haven't read too much YA in the last few years but it is a genre I do enjoy.

Delitealex | 335 comments Read Wild Irish Heart (Mystic Cove, #1) by Tricia O'Malley the Mystic Cove Series and am enjoying learning more about Grace's Cove. I already started Wild Irish Eyes (Mystic Cove, #2) by Tricia O'Malley . Each in book in the series is pretty short.

Now I'm reading Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop, another great book.

I also read the standalone The Martian by Andy Weir this weekend, also very good.
I had a good weekend :)

Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 656 comments I'm reading the latest in Mary Balogh's Survivors' Club series, Only a Kiss (The Survivors' Club, #6) by Mary Balogh .

It's about the only woman in the group; she lost her husband in the Napoleonic wars -- he had been tortured as a spy and she was captured with him.

Laura I'm reading book 8 Sweet Revenge (Last Chance Rescue, #8) by Christy Reece slow going, I haven't had much time this week


message 2275: by Jorran (new)

Jorran | 184 comments I've be gone for a while but have managed to get current with some of my series and even started some new ones.

I finished Magic Shifts (Kate Daniels, #8) by Ilona Andrews . Narrator Renee Raudman did an amazing job.

Last night, I started the ebook Déjà Dead (Temperance Brennan, #1) by Kathy Reichs , Temperance Brennan #1 (wanted the audiobook but my library only had the abridged version) but I'm beginning to rethink reading this series. It's little too descriptive for me. I'll put it aside for awhile and try something else.

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 12968 comments Mod
Really great to see you back here, Jorran! Hope all is well.

Re Temperance Brennan...too grisly in descriptions?


message 2277: by Jorran (new)

Jorran | 184 comments Thanks Jonetta. All is well just that real life gets in the way.

Yes, definitely too grisly!!


message 2278: by Charlene (new)

Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 656 comments Jorran, if grisly is not your thing, you may be right to rethink Temperance Brennan books. I've read the first four and really like them, but it's a matter of preference for all of us, isn't it?

... and now for something completely different: I've finished the latest Survivors' Club novel by Mary Balogh, Only a Kiss (The Survivors' Club, #6) by Mary Balogh , and I really enjoyed reading it. As one might suspect, there were romantic parts, but there were also repercussions of an ignored property in Cornwall during Napoleonic times, delayed healing from same era, and a man who "had it all" growing up. The last book in this series is set to be published in May, 2016.


message 2279: by Charlene (new)

Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 656 comments Well, I've changed book and series types again. I finished Karin Slaughter's first Grant County book, Blindsighted (Grant County, #1) by Karin Slaughter , which I borrowed from the local public library. It begins grisly and doesn't let up. Now here I've done it again -- I've begun another series I read about, yes you guessed it, here on this group site!

Since her two series intersect at some point, Jonetta, in what order would you recommend a person read these series? Finish Grant County first?


message 2286: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 12968 comments Mod
Definitely finish Grant County first! Characters from this series show up in book #3 of Will Trent, after events occurring in the last book of Grant County.

Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 656 comments I'm on a roll: read a new author to me: Something About You (FBI/US Attorney, #1) by Julie James , and I really liked it. The bridezilla secondary story was almost OTT, but in a funny way. Secondary characters were all OK, in fact, and I really liked the two main characters and the story. Very good RS story, and almost light-hearted tone, except when it was dead serious!

I agree. I read this book earlier in the month and thought it was great. I'm hoping to jump to the next book in the series soon.

And, I read The Gamble by LaVyrle Spencer The Gamble by LaVyrle Spencer. Though some parts of the story were a little slow, this author knows how to write great characters.

Melissa (melissasd) | 1610 comments I finished reading White Night by Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files #9) and really liked it. I always get nervous when reading long series because I'm afraid the fun is going to disappear and it will start becoming a chore the read them. This is not true with the Dresden Files.

I'm now starting Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh (Psy-Changling #1).
