Lucky you Arielle Rae :D

Oh no!
My library just has "on order" with no date, so it could be months away :(
I'm all over the place again and I am way behind pace for my goal but here's what I've finished recently.

Has anyone else read Kresley Cole's, The Warlord Wants Forever? For some reason it feels like I've missed a book, or series, somewhere. If I have do you know what it could be?

I have never read it but it was released after she had written a few books I want to say it was shortly after Dreams of a Dark Warrior. So if it is not clicking skip it. I like the series but it does not always adhere to a normal timeline, especially in later books.

The four chapters were choppy and it moved so fast. One part there I had absolutely no idea what time period it was set in!
I'll keep at it for several more chapters and if it's still not making sense I'll shelve it for later.
It's pretty short, but does make more sense once you've read more of the series. Some of the valkyries talk about Myst's missing time and that's what they're talking about - and the mysterious vamp who has captured her heart. From memory they both appear towards the end in
I'm thinking of starting in on Lora Leigh's Breeders series, but do I have to read them in order, or can they be read as standalones?
LastBreath wrote: "I'm thinking of starting in on Lora Leigh's Breeders series, but do I have to read them in order, or can they be read as standalones?"There is an ongoing storyline that begins from the first book. Also characters from the early book appear in later books. So I would recommend reading in order.
Finished
and loved every minute. Dmitri is very swoonworthy!
Yeah, for being an asshole to Elena in previous books, he was very swoonworthy :DD

I love Nalini Singh but this book was a miss for me.
Glad you liked it Lauren.
Dawn wrote: "I love Nalini Singh but this book was a miss for me."I can totally understand why that can be. Dmitri can be vicious and cruel but I though that Singh did an excellent job outlining his back story and explaining why he is the way that he is. I also have a huge thing for the dark and tortured hero so he appealed to me on that level as well.
The one thing that it took me time to wrap my head around was (view spoiler), but I came to realize that given Dmitri's nature, it was the only way to go.
Finished up Cress.Now I'm trying to figure out which adult book to read next.

That is what kind of killed it for me
So I should probably place this somewhere else but has anyone see the alpha showdown at the vampire book club?http://vampirebookclub.net/alpha-show...
I think they are on Wrath vs Mad Rogan (Wrath won that one) and Kaleb vs Curran. Ilona is awesome they are there twice. But I must admit I like both Kaleb and Curran who to choose?
Started
this morning. Good so far :)
@Sandra that is the one with the lion shifter who gets the bad hair cut...then they go to a steakhouse?If so it was cute.
Yep, that's the one :D
I love how unabashed he was and Kira was spunky I liked that.
I'm in the middle of White Witch, Black Curse by Kim Harrison and am so far not liking it as much as previous books. I'm also re-reading the October Daye series to hold me off until Red Rose Chain comes out.
What do you think of it Veronica? I'd put it on wishlist, but its a bit expensive at the moment, esp as 3 come out in such a short time.
Sandra wrote: "What do you think of it Veronica?

It's not wowing me or anything yet. I can easily set it aside to do other things so it's not that feeling of needing to read just a few more pages to see what happens.

Thanks Veronica. I won't be shelling out AU$13+ for each of them then :)
I'm finally getting around to reading
. I preordered it, so I've had it since it came out, but I kept getting distracted by other stuff. I'm at 36% on my kindle (page 126 of 364), so there's only a couple big events. Of course it's a great read, going by way too fast! I love this series!!

One of my all time favorites. It has stayed a part of me for years.
Currently in the 4th book of the "Found" series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Every summer I try to read a series that my son has been reading. I really like the historical & sci-fi mix.
After all the drama with EL James I decided to look for a book that tells of what a real BDSM relationship is about. Good so far.
I plan on reading the Vampires In America by D.B Reynolds
Haven't been here for a while but I am still reading :)At the moment "Spell Blind" by David B. Coe A Urban Fantasy published by Baen. Very good writing and well thought out world. Well done David.
And I am also reading Seanan McGuire's "Midnight Blue Light Special" book two of her InCrptid series. Seanan is a Very Good Writer and even though these are decidedly different from her Daya series they are still a good fun trip for readers. A bit lighthearted in spots but hang on while you read them.
Just finished the best book I've read so far this year
Sandra wrote: "Just finished the best book I've read so far this year "The next one is even better!
Sandra, I LOVE this series. It's so hard to wait for each book. At least you've got book 3 waiting for you.
Glad to know the next one keeps up the standard!!!
I've felt a little OD'd on urban fantasy lately so I've been reading other genres. I just finished
- had to google some torture devices that now I wish I didn't know about, lol - and now I've moved on to
.
I just started Mystery Man by Kristen Ashley. Love her books.
Finished
another good addition to Harmony & Rainshadow Island. There be monsters here.
