What are you reading right now?
I'm hoping to be done with
today i've either been busy or depressed to read, but I'm determined lol.
I started reading
but couldn't make it past the first chapter. I don't know, some of it reminded me too much of Rhage & Mary from BDB - the way the heroine could soothe the heroe's pain by sound/touch/proximity. I also thought some of it just seemed too unbelievable - well, unbelieveable for a PNR. lol I mean unbelieveable in the sense that there were some holes in the action/logic. It's too bad because I think the concept was really great and the hero was hot and intriguing. His buddy Zach also caught my attention. Maybe I'll go back and finish it at another time. Anyhooo, now I've started
. So far there are some flaws but I'm kind of intrigued by Jacob and Isabella so we'll see. :)
Let me know if you like it...I love Sherrilyn Kenyon's books.Megan

Considering they made a movie out of it!!!

I just never wanted to read it because of the cover but the rating is so high, and after seeing the previews for the movie it looks a bit interesting to me now. It will be a long time before I get it though.

I liked that one and I liked the one after that. The second was better than the first, but not as good as books 3 & 4
Denise wrote: "Oh Sookie 11...Let me know your thoughts when you finish it!"
I liked it, I'm a bit nervous about what is going to happen now though. A lot was left up in the air at the end.
Finished Dead Reckoning and now I am going to start Vampire Academy and read that series. I have read every Sookie book and short now, it feels weird to have to wait for the next one. Can't wait to start VA, everyone seems to really like this series.
I think VA is the best YA out there for PR. It is way better than Twilight. enjoy.

Terri wrote: "I think VA is the best YA out there for PR. It is way better than Twilight. enjoy."Thanks, I'm about a third of the way through and like it so far. It's annoying that everyone is 'hot' though, lol. I guess it's been a long time since I've read YA. There is more talk of sex and drugs than I expected out of YA too though.

It may be because I haven't read any of the BDB books so I don't have anything to compare it to.

While I enjoyed Sentinel Wars, it didn't hold a candle to BDB, LotU, or Midnight Breed.
I finally finished
I only gave it two stars I didn't like this one so well, I didn't like how Georgina was so whiny like, and like she was constantly PMSing. And I don't like it the thing with Seth and and definitely don't like it with Maddie that in my opinion was completely messed up of Seth. But now I'm gonna start reading
Sammie =^.^= wrote: "I'm hoping to be done with today i've either been busy or depressed to read, but I'm determined lol."The set up leading to book 5 and 6 is just plain painful. Can you remind me, I forgot which book and maybe I have to go thru the torture again, I thought Seth mentioned that the first time he saw Georgina, she was wearing cream??? I thought the Georgina was wearing floral and purple skirt at the book signing. Is that some kind of a hint who he really was?

I mean to know someone so deeply as Seth knew & loved Georgina, he jumped Maggies, seriously??? there were so many impossible outcomes and too many too-good-to-be-true scenarios...at the end, it's the patient mashocistic in me took over. Nuff said...

oh I Don't remember it's been a while since I've read book 1 & 2.

Boy, I'm chatty today. Finished
and loved it. I read til 5am and was dying of laughing as I read Choo Co La Tah driving the semi. Not to be missed. I laughed, I cried and I was in awe with the storyline.Pansy, my friend, there's been time I couldn't get into a book, even though you loved DH. You've been preoccupied, finish your other stuffs, get your other longing reads out of the way bc Retribution is worth devouring. I had fun and I know you will too.
well once I'm done reading this months, monthly challenge I probably could put
so I can finally read
I love these challenges though they help me figure out what to read.
finished
and now reading
. This is a really good series and i'm sorta sad that it's the last book. Nora Roberts is great.
Okay - just flew through Jordan Castillo Price's Morpheus and Oblivion short stories. 
Going back to

Nora Roberts has a bazillion book and most are good. I really enjoy her 'in Death' series she writes under the pen name JD Robb. This series has upwards of twenty or thirty books in it. It is really good.
oh no Katya, it's just the last in the trilogy. it's so good i don't want the trilogy to end =)@Terri, i'll have to look at her books under the name J.D. Robb.
So finished reading
completely uninterrupted and loved every minute of it. I can't wait till the final two books come out. I also read
. It wasn't as boring as I braced myself for it to be but it did have its dragging moment. I do find Barrons very intriguing, though. Macs pinkyness is kind of getting on my nerves. I'm going to push through because I know the series gets better

Yeah that's one movie I'm planning to skip..

I'm inthrall and so happy her JD Robb's In Death series is in the 30 books. I'm on book #24 and loving it. I recommend its audiobook, Susan Ericksen is amazing.
I've added the Circle trilogy by Nora Roberts. Thanks.

@ Cassidy - I haven't felt the amazingness yet, but book one wasn't as bad as I anticipated so I will continue on.
I have to agree with Cassidy. Fever is actually one of my all time favourite series. Jericho Barrons...YUM.Crazy4more, I'm only up to Book 4 of In Death series. What really makes it great is the relationship between Eve and Roarke.
I've just read the scene when they are driving home and don't make it inside to "get Busy"... hot. This is what takes it above and beyond the average murder mystery.
Fever IS Amazing - don't stop reading!

Following Roarke & Eve's relationship is the reason I'm reading them in order. The crimes are pretty much stand alone but personal growth, dealing with their pasts, pains, demons and how they so compatible, growing and needing each other is the perfect combination. I'm listening to
...just wow...you all need to hear Roarke's fury...and then the make-up sex, yup...yumyum...
I have just finished
It was fantastic, I didn't want it to end she brings something new to the table every time>I'm just starting
I won a ARC so far loving it
Finished
and really enjoyed it.I loved the imaginative and well-detailed world building and the connection between Drake and Helen is intense and drew me right into the story.
I also liked the secondary characters especially Zach. I couldn't stand Logan though and I hope I like him better by the time I get to his book.
Lan-Dinh wrote: While I enjoyed Sentinel Wars, it didn't hold a candle to BDB, LotU, or Midnight Breed. ." - I completely agree. The series is not nearly as good as Midnight Breed. I couldn't get into either BDB or LoTU but I might try again sometime.
Domino (aka Meme) wrote: "finished and now reading . This is a really good series and i'm sorta sad that it's the last book. Nora Roberts is great."God I loved the warlords, cant wait for the next to come out.
Lauren wrote: "I couldn't get into either BDB or LoTU but I might try again sometime. "You should definitely try again. In all of these series, the first book is NEVER my favorite book. I find they all get better because they build more on old characters as well as bring in new romances.

This is a series that I listen to at work as I can get my hands on them so I'm all over the place. I did do the first several books in order. Roarke & Eve's relationship is so hot that I haven't has many issues following them!

I love Dragos...it was hard to have any affection to that name since I just finished reading Midgnight Breed. My brain had to do a 180 switch...

So Cassidy, what do you think so far??? Jericho and Mac are two of my favorite all time characters. As a matter of fact my daughter is planning her next, an probably last baby, and we want it to be a girl so we can name her MacKayla.
