What are you reading?
Finished
(it was great!) and now I'm reading
. I'm on a Jill Shalvis kick.
I would LOVE to be on a Jill Shalvis kick after reading
which I simply adored - but my book buying ban will not allow me to buy - not until March. But just wait till March!!!:-)
Oh, I just happened to have a couple of her books already. This is my last one, although I'd love to get my hands on
.
I just finished
and it was amazing! So uplifting and inspiring, funny, sad, sexy... amazing.

Woohoo! I'm sooo reading that one next!

You looking at his chest? Naughty Dhes! (LOL!)
LOL!!!!!!!!!!! That's me... naughty girl! In one of my recent reviews I suggested that perhaps I deserve to be spanked. In fact, I even asked for it! LOLOL
I finished reading
. I liked it but not as much as her other two books. So now I'll start
during lunch! I'm soo freaking excited!
I'm freaking excited for you, DG!!! I need to read it soon.
Ok, now I'm walking to the Epiphany Library to pick up a book (it seems the branches of the NY Public Library have names! Go figure.) At least it stopped snowing...see ya later!
I read
this weekend. The book (and Barrons) made me happy.

I just finished
and it was so, so so so good! But now I don't know where to go next...
What do you feel like reading, Dhes? historical, paranormal, uf, contemporary? You have a bunch of my favorites in your 'own, need to read' shelf so I can recommend you some. :)

soo looking forward to that one.
is it good?? i own that book....."I thought that the series was sweet: not fabulous or complicated storylines, but they were all feel-good romances with troubled heroines and heroes who fall in love at first sight: they were different, since they didn't have the ususal conflicted relationship... It's mainly the heroines who have trouble committing (except in the first one).. I enjoyed them very much: no angst, cute heroes, fun secondary characters... I guess it depends on what kind of books you enjoy!:-D
For some strange reason just downloaded 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' onto my Kindle, and quite enjoying it. I did have a paperback copy when it first came out but couldnt get into it. Having said that, I'm already looking forward to going back to the regency - my spiritual home.
I'm planning to read that book one of these days.I'm quite enjoying Skin Heat although it seems that we are not going to know anything about the evil company that's behind the abductions.
Read Animal Farm, put down Crime and Punishment for the night, and rereading Ella Enchanted for the umpteenth time (lol... it's one of my fave books... typical Cinderella story, I must have read it over 20 times!)

I promised myself I'd finish it before Sunday night (I don't want it to drag out too much, lol) :-) It's actually pretty good, just slow!!
I just finished
and loved it... I should be receiving the other I-team books in the next couple days:-)And I naturally also finished
... Lol, I almost know parts of it by heart :-DI'm listening to the end of
on audiobook while in bed... Love doing that, but it takes so long to listen to!

im currently reading
so Melanie, can i read
on its own?? and, which one did u like better from the series??. And you are right, it all boils down to personal taste. Urs and mine is pretty similar!

I know:-) I've read P&P over a dozen times, but decided to try the audiobook, which I listen while drifting to sleep (which is why it takes so long!)
@Autumn -- Which do I prefer? Huh! Um, I liked the first a lot (the hero was more tortured than in the others), the second I also loved (Ginger is a 40yo woman who has major self-doubts, which I can relate to, lol, and Lucio is very funny!), and the third I liked: I especially liked Eli (really patient and sweet) - the third book was probably the "steamiest"...
As for reading them in order, I did, but I think you could read them OOO, it's just that you have recurrent characters: I would save the third book for last, but you could eventually read the first and second ooo.
I'm planning to re-read Crime and Punishment this year. I read it when I was a teenager but wasn't too impressed by it. A boyfriend I had at the time told me to wait 10 years to read it again. I actually listened to P&P first in audiobook and I have to say I'm glad I did. Otherwise, I would have had problems with those long sentences of Ms. Austen. I still have it and dip on it on random parts. I just love it!
Heidi wrote: "Oooohhh, Megan....Wicked Ties...is great, you'll love Jack!"I don't know why I waited forever to read it, its so good. Plus Jack is so alpha, which I love! :)
Heidi wrote: "Do you have 
&
to read as well?"I don't own them yet, but will have to buy them, maybe I'll get them on Kindle if they don't have them at my library.
Heidi wrote: "Do you have & to read as well?"Decadent is one of my favorite erotica books. There are some issues that make it a bit out there but I think the plot was really good and the sex was hawt, hawt, hawt without overtaking the plot.
Right now I'm reading House of Leaves. But next on my list is Much Ado About Marrige by Karen Hawkins.
Right now I'm reading

(which I bought of Amazon, for my Kindle, before starting Bloodfever, lol: I know what I get like when I don't have the next book in the series!!).... I ADORE this series! and am totally in love/lust with Barrons!!!! But gotta say, at the beginning of Shadowfever, I had a major WTF moment! Can't wait to find out what happens!!!

That's what I'm thinking...liking her a lot so far!
I just finished
... what a fabulous ending! But there are a couple characters I definitely want to know more about! Gotta say, I didn't expect 99% of what happened at all!!! Awesome series!!

I get all of mine for free (well, not including the donation) but I wouldn't mind paying a small fee for it ($0.25 to $.50 per book) either. As you say, it would still be cheaper than buying/swapping the books and then I wouldn't have to store them.

Wow, that's far! I guess how they move the books depends on the health of the library finances, how many people they serve and the distance between the branches. My local library prides itself in that nobody in the borough is more than a mile away from a branch so I guess they figure that if you really want the book, you could go to the other branches yourself. My local branch is just a few blocks from my house but I have 8 other branches within a 2 mile radius.
