You're going on vacation Renae? Where are you going? I really need a vacation. Twelve hours a day since December is killing me.

If you guys got Tales From Little Lump - Alien Season by Jeff Folschinsky free from amazon when I was raving about it, now would be a really good time to read it. Or if you wanted the audio its 1.99 if you have the kindle edition. This is a really quick hilarious book!

message 14: by Sara (new)

Sara | 1037 comments So I guess this is anthologies too? And if we start a series how many episodes do we need to read to count because I thought about starting Delirium (Debt Collector, #1) by Susan Kaye Quinn Agony (Debt Collector, #2) by Susan Kaye Quinn Ecstasy (Debt Collector, #3) by Susan Kaye Quinn ?

message 26: by Renae (new)

Renae (renaev) | 57 comments Ive been collecting over the last two months, so sorry if they are no longer free.
Blood and Snow 1-12 by RaShelle Workman
Dark Creations (1-3 box set) by Jennifer Martucci
Hunted: New Adult Shapeshifter Anthology
The Descent Series (1-3) by SM Reine
Love & College: New Adult & College Romance Anthology
Midnight Desires: 13 Sizzling, Suspenseful, and Seductive Romances
Hopefully something for everyone in there :-) I did have more but I realise they were more full length books (this is anything that it works out the books are less than 200 pages each)

Newsome Bend (Bend Anthology) by K.I. Lynn Winter Wonders (Anthology) by Alexandra Shostak not sure which one though :)

Okay I've read Spend the Night I (The Hotel Collection, #1) by Elizabeth Lee Spend the Night II (The Hotel Collection, #2) by Elizabeth Lee and the suspense is killing me! Who is "Him"?! Must start Spend the Night III (The Hotel Collection, #3) by Elizabeth Lee to get the answers

Well I guess I need to get the other ones then Sylvia. I have the first.


message 40: by Belkis (new)

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments I decided to jump into The Kiss An Anthology of Love and Other Close Encounters by C.A. Newsome and it's really good. I'm halfway done and all of the stores so far have been really well done. Of course I LOVED LOVED CoHo's A Father's Kiss it was the deciding factor for choosing this anthology. I had completely forgotten that Colleen Hoover's story was the reason why I grabbed this one to begin with. I swear so many books get lost in my tbr LOL!

Sara | 1037 comments Finished the first three in the death collector series. Not exactly my favorite but it is intriguing. I'll have to continue after I finish some other books.
