I had been a little (they weren't terrible, just not up to par) disappointed in her last two, but she seems to be getting her groove back:-)
I've finished
and am starting
.. Very sweet books:-) Although it seems like Robyn Carr prefers Mel to her other heroines:-)BTW, I was right.. I had too many books on my Kindle, which is why it kept on jamming: I took off 1700, and am now at 2900 bks:-) A lot faster:-)

Just discovered them and bought the 1-4 bundle off Amazon for $11.99 :-)

It's far from being erotica, but I found the sex scenes tastefully written and sweet... I don't know.. maybe a (non-erotica) 6 or 7 out of ten?
I just bought the bundle too!! B&N had it for $9.99 which I thought was a great deal because the first two were $5.04/piece and then 3 and 4 were like $5.76/piece..Couldn't beat that!

A friend recommend the series to me and this is the first one. It also has recipes in it so that makes it fun too. I'm not far in it so not sure how I like it yet...I put it down to read Sugar Daddy last night. I didn't think I would like Gage so hadn't read this one yet, have to say I loved the story.
I have
The Devil Wears Plaid but it never fits into my challenges. I've heard such great things about it.
I just finished
as part of the Pot Luck challenge, Steampunk food group. What a great read!It was a blend of historical romance, action/adventure, and fantasy. Great story.

Lucky you!!! they don't have all of them at bookdepository:-( Thus the Kindle, lol...
Are you in the US, Mandy? I can't remember. If so, check out thriftbooks.com. Their books are usually about $4 with free shipping in the US. I've been really very happy with them.
I didn't know Thriftbooks had free shipping.I'll check them out for those books which are impossible to get on PBS.

Sigh . . .saving $$ for middle child to go to DC next Spring. She's gonna owe me BIG!! LOL!
D.G. wrote: "I didn't know Thriftbooks had free shipping. I'll check them out for those books which are impossible to get on PBS."Yep! And they've got several other bookstores under their umbrella, and they list the books by quality. AND if you buy more than 1 book from the same seller, each additional book is .45 cents off.
Mandy, I'll be doing the same thing come January. At least your cause is a noble one, mine is because I'm out of control!

I went out of control yesterday at fictionwise, and out of control again today, same location. *sigh*

Ohh yes!! i daresay the best! :) dont you find books,bookstores, and libraries so so so soothing??? my God... they are my shelter..
It's so nice to talk to other book addicts. Thankfully my husband doesn't blink an eye when I bring yet more books home although he does encourage me to get rid of some every so often.

I seem to have the hardest time getting rid of books: I usually keep them all, except for the really terrible ones I hated or couldn't finish..
I just finished
... Before reading this book, I never realized that Patricia Cabot was Meg Cabot (author of Nicola and the Viscount and Victoria and the Rogue, which, while YA, I loved..). I was therefore really excited to read Educating Caroline, and although it's pretty predictable, you can't help but love the chemistry between Caroline and Braden: I found it lighthearted, fun and sweet, and thoroughly enjoyable...

You're a braver woman than I! What kind of bookclub are you in, if you don't mind my asking?
I have about (or over) 6000 books in my room, have read about 2/3rds of them, lol, and can't imagine parting with any... I usually get rid of half a dozen books a year at the most! I imagine when I move to the States I'll have to decide which are coming with me, and which will have to wait (I'm sure I can convince people who'll visit to bring along a couple dozen on each trip, lol)

I'm really trying to keep all of my books to one room.
The book club I'm in started off as Jane Austen and then it moved on to the past two years deciding as a group what to read for the year. It's mainly a lot of classics which is good for me because I want to read more of them and this gives me the motivation to actually finish them. There have also been a few "bestsellers" or national book club type stuff chosen by a few of the members that I still read, but am usually not very fond of...those are the ones that I have no problem selling back. I actually have a bookshelf on here labeled for my book club.

I started Jess Michaels
this morning while riding my exercise bike...holy hell, this is gonna be a good one I'm'a thinkin!
Atumn wrote: "ok will have to go again for a classic..

Suzanne and Ryder's story was good!! I think the second was my fave though.
I'm glad to hear that Suzanne and Ryder have a story. Their relationship is so volatile right now. I wonder what happened.... I'll find out one of these days.

and
were my favorite of the series..and I thinik they are actually books 3&4 so hang in there.. The first one was ok..the second not so much...but Taboo was HOT I thought.
...is so far ok, nothing great tho...I'm in agreement there. I have all of these so need to get them read.
can we post here if we are reading non-romance books?? i will do it just this time if is not pertinent for the forum.
im trying to finish
. its such a good book... but when i need detachment from reality.. romance is what my mind craves. SO! its my challenge to really finish the book. xxxxxxxxxx
