But when you read them separately you remember oh, that book had this in it.

I think i'll take a two week break maybe start reading The Witches of New York I think its be a nice taste breaker. I just keep finding myself if reading trilogies or a series and getting super wrapped in them.
I have 3 new series to start, so I am hoping that will curb the binging. Also, I put the Hollows down a couple months ago and need to pick that up, so I suppose I have 4 series to read.
I agree with the about 5 books. I suppose it depends. I think I read most of Kate Daniels without a break, and that was great. Same with Mercy Thompson. Other than that, I gotta go a little slower.
I started
this morning. I forgot how soul crushing
was. So good though.

I always have trouble remembering which is in what book, especially if I've read them back to back, even when its a re-read. LOL.Just finished
and I want to read the next book but its the last one in the series and I don't know if I'm ready to let go yet :(

That is the book I am about to start - I have loved all of the books in the world of the Others.
I love The Others books, but I'm still missing Simon & Meg.
@Anne, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. <3@Sandra, ME TOO! I would love to go back to Lakeside at some point down the line. I would also like to know more about Hope Wolfsong and her makeshift family.
Yes totally agree Holly.

I am almost done with Wild Country - loving it.
Any time I read, think about the Others series, I'd like to think I'd be part of the human pack in Lakeside. lol

I loved the book and cannot wait until the next release.

So far this has been a great book for books.I finally read
I was really in denial about not wanting it to end then I forgot I never read it. So talk about a lovely surprise there!I also read
and this is quickly becoming a favorite seriesFinally, I finished
which is also a great series.Love it when I have great things to read...but what next?

Darcy wrote: "..You are the second person who's been talking about the Breene books/series I've seen this week and I've never heard of them.

I like when the heroine has real like issues and this one has two teens that she takes care of..and sometimes the kids take care of her. All in all you need to suspend belief when reading but I think it is like candy.
Let me know if you check it out!

It's funny that you bring up the real issues, because this is what the other person was talking about. I did see it was in KU. I hop in and out of that and noted it so I can check it out.
@ Dawn - I finished the first of the Demigods of San Francisco and really liked it. I'm glad that seeing you talk about it pushed me to read it sooner.

Luckily she writes really fast I think the next one is due out in July
Just sped through the first 6 books of the Ghost Mountain Shifters series, first book
This series is not your typical action story, its all about the emotional growth of the whole pack after the bad alpha gets killed in the first 10 or so pages. And that's not a spoiler :D

What did you think of Smoke Bitten?
I could not figure out why I did not love it. It was a great book but just something about it, maybe how quick people were to judge Mercy then expect her to fix it?

I get what you are saying. I thought it was good, not great.
Darcy wrote: "..."I get what you are saying. I thought it was good, not great.Thanks for saying that I was thinking it was just me :-)
Sadly every book in a series can't be the best. 😉
It certainly wasn't my favourite but I still enjoyed it. Adam bugged me with not sharing his problem. But books need conflict I guess, just not the conflict I want .... ever.

I felt like at this point that was a bit out of character.
Elizabeth Hunter has come out with a new series called Glimmer Lake. We again have middle age heroines and I just love this! Really enjoyed
I started
probably not the best book to be reading at this point and time. Oh well.
I really liked Smoke Bitten. I liked that Adam was dangerous again. However, I was sad too with the shutting off, but I think Briggs made her point - even the strongest struggle.
Also, I love Ben so much. I wish there was more of him or that he could have his own book.

this morning, hoping to get to it soon.
I've been reading a new to me series,
, never heard of the author or the books, but man...each book is really good. I find myself tearing up when reading them, yet have hope while I read. I love seeing how this broken pack heals and doing it with the submissives and juveniles leading, while the new alpha listens to what everyone needs and finds a way to give it to them. The series is in KU, a good thing as I've read the 1st 4 in the last week.
Darcy, I binge read the series earlier this year.
Loved .... every .... single .... one .... of .... them!!!
And I don't usually binge read, but I couldn't not start the next one.
One of my friends was loving them, so thought I'd have a look - and what a find. Looking forward to the next one.

It is really hard not to read them all back to back. I've been throwing in a different book after I read 2 of these. I'm in the middle of #5 now, will finish and start #6 as soon as I'm done.
Have you read any of her other books? I love these so much it makes me want to check out her whole back list.
I haven't yet, but I've been tempted :)I noticed that she has a box set which includes 2 firsts & a standalone, which is much cheaper than buying them alone, unless of course you have ku.
I haven't checked to see if her others are in KU, will do that when I'm done with this series.Do they not have KU where you are? For some reason I have in my head you are AUS or NZ.
I'm in Aus and yes we got ku about 2 yrs ago, but I like owning my books :D
Sandra wrote: "I'm in Aus and yes we got ku about 2 yrs ago, but I like owning my books :D"Makes sense. I hop on and off KU, keep a separate shelf that I put books there. So when I have KU I read a lot off of it. I rarely re-read books with my eyes, most of my re-reads are by audio and I purchase those.
I'm not good with accents & soft voices etc, so I prefer reading than listening :)
Sandra wrote: "I'm not good with accents & soft voices etc, so I prefer reading than listening :)"I usually have one of each going. I can listen to audios at work all day, makes it go so much faster, then read in the evening.
