I've been circling the Martian for awhile. I keep hearing how good it is. My reading time is limited lately. Maybe I'll try the audio instead. I love audio books.
It's great to be reading again. I'm now 76% through
. And will probably be done with it before i go to bed.

I'm waiting for my library to get the downloadable version. I'm a bit surprised that they don't have it yet.
Just finished
which has a shocker for a cover but was a very enjoyable debut novel. I gave it 5 stars :)Elementals and the warriors, Paladins, who protect them.
I've been chugging away since the start of the New Year since I'm participating in several challenges. I'm not sure I can keep up this pace but anyway, so far in 2016 I've read:
,
,
,
(reread),
,
(short story),
, and
. I just started reading
.
wow! Go you! That's awesome.
Doing a series re-read of World of the Lupi by Eileen Wilks and just finished
Its been over 5 yrs since I read it and it still stacks up as a great uf debut. So glad I'm re-reading the series without having to wait 12 mths between books.

Hmmm. I'm surprised they don't have them all in audio yet.

I looked at audible and the first wasn't there. I like the idea of these, but it says they are abridged versions, not really liking that. Who knows what they will leave out.
I'll probably grab the free one and see.
Thanks, Anne and Shera. Like I said though, I won't be keeping up this pace all year. Once my tv shows start up again I'll want to devote some time to those as well, lol.In the meantime though I finished
and have started on
. It's okay so far but I miss Verity.

So I went to grab the free one and I must have seen that at some point because I already grabbed it in 2013.
::Sigh:: There is a reason I have blonde hair.
Don't feel bad, Darcy. I have quite a collection of physical books that I haven't gotten around to reading yet and I can't tell you how many times I've come home after purchasing a book only to find out I already have a copy. At least with the ebooks, it tells you if you've already purchased it (assuming the same vendor source).

I do like that if you already have the e-book they won't let you buy it again. That helps.
Oh, don't worry. I return the book immediately and get a different one. I learned long ago to never throw away a receipt until I get home to verify things. ;-)One of these days I need to get around to cataloging my "already own them" books and put them on a digital spreadsheet. That way I can carry it with me on my phone and consult the list whenever I'm thinking of a book purchase.

That makes total sense with the spreadsheet, yet I could see myself not doing it because it would cut into my reading time. ;p

I tried to create a shelf on GR with that information. It went well for like two weeks lol.

Dawn wrote: "I tried to create a shelf on GR with that information. It went well for like two weeks lol."Well there's an idea! I'm going to try that, making an "owned TBR" shelf. I can batch edit the shelves so I can move multiple books over to the new shelf. Hmmm....

Good luck!!
For the two weeks I was on it it did pay off.
Finished
I was not pleased with this installment, it was just off.
Oh well onto the next one.
Dawn wrote: "Good luck!!For the two weeks I was on it it did pay off."
LOL!
So I finished
and I definitely missed Verity. The book just wasn't as much fun. Even the Aeslin mice were subdued.I also just finished
which I had picked up on kindle for $1.99 at one point. It was okay but I'm not sure I'll read more in the series. It never really hooked me in. Now I think I'm going to start
.

I finished
, which started out well but didn't stick the landing IMO. I also didn't like the romance aspect of it since the female love interest basically has no free will due to her magical origins. Bleh.Now I'm starting another historical mystery, this time set in 1930s New York.
Veronica, have you read The Shaye Archer series? If you like murder/mystery/thriller than it's for you. Give it a shot, easy reads. Book 1: Malevolent
Wrapped up
, which was awesome! I caved and read
, which really isn't important to the series. I did like the look at the character through the eyes of a ghost though. Had to quit
. The romance genre is really losing it's appeal to me. I need more.Started up
. It's time for a reread and I need to get caught up especially since it looks like book 4 is actually coming out.
Good idea Shera, I should do a re-read of the Alex Craft books as well.
Sandra wrote: "Good idea Shera, I should do a re-read of the Alex Craft books as well."There's a buddy read going on for it and it's at everyone's own pace.
I finished
and
both of which I found disappointing (2 stars each). YA books just aren't emotionally satisfying to me. Anyway, now I'm reading
and so far I'm enjoying the dark humor.
Finished
and now reading the second book,
.
Finished
then went to read and finish the third book,
. Now I'm listening to
on audio book and reading
.
Read
yesterday, wow!!! Really looking forward to #4 next month :D
I finished up
, which was a very promising start to the series. Though I could have done with more technology/steampunk and world building. It was nice that there was chemistry between the lovebirds. And--gasp--the male lead was an actual gentleman! Not a jerk. Started up
. I'm a little nervous about how much page time Adam and Mercy will actually get together. Even though they're actually already (view spoiler) where I've read to.
Shera, are you worried they'll have too much page time together or not enough?I've been trying to get caught up with some of my longstanding series so I finished
(still have Ninth to go),
, and
. Now I'm reading
by Stephen King.
Shera, from memory, most of the complaints of
were that there wasn't enough of the pack in the book. Not that there was too much or too little of Adam & Mercy. LOLVeronica, some great catching up there. I'm falling behind a little on EA, must remember to schedule them in.

Yeah, I'm seeing that! Ha! Luckily for me it's working out!
