What are you reading right now?
Gracie wrote: "Is it bad to be addicted to reading books when your only 15??"Definitely not Gracie - you should be proud. I was just a little younger than you when I started my mad affair with reading. Think of it this way - you will be the most literate girl in your school.
My oldest son is 14 and he reads quite a bit too - for a boy. The catch for me is finding books that will interest him and getting him hooked. I try for series because once he likes the first book I don't have to force him to read the rest. He does it all on his own and very quickly I might add. He loved Harry Potter, The Eragon books, The Hunger Games, The Olympians just to name a few.

P.A. for me it was Nancy Drew and Phyllis Whitney. Also sneaking into the Judy Blume section of the library and reading the books we weren't supposed to with my friend Geri. Memories....

Yeah, the first was pretty racy. So was the fifth.

You'll like them. The good thing is there are a bunch in the series so if you like them you'll be able to go for awhile.
Wow I haven't thought about Sweet Valley High in ages! I loved them when I was a kid then I got hooked on Anne Rice about the time I was 15. I finished
the story with Bones takes place right before he meets Cat. I enjoyed seeing him without her. I'm almost done with
and I started
currently reading
. Almost finished with
on audio and will start
next.

Funny I felt the same way with BDB. I'm a late bloomer with PNR and ER you see?...now I'm just making up lost time, lol. After reading Twilight Saga 4x, I accidently got my hands on Lover Avenged and I was imprinted with Rhev, my first adult PNR lover. Anyhoo, I finally understood the need for bookcovers, lol.

Shame since I rated Dragon Bound 5 stars."So you did finished it or stopped at half way? what a shame bc I loved Dragon Bound too. I was surprised she whipped out the third book within months, I heard the editing was pretty bad too.
I'm currently reading
. I think it might even be better than the first one!

I finished it, although I did feel it was slow.

I've just started this
I don't actually know what's paranormal about the story, but the preface is super creepy and the main character seems really cool. I'm gonna find out!

I know you didn't ask me, but I did read it. I loved it, SM really surprised me. Wasn't expecting much from her after Twilight but this story was very good, if I remember correctly I might have shed a couple of tears. It's still romance, but nothing like Twilight.
Destiny wrote: "I'm currently reading . I think it might even be better than the first one!"It is good, but be forewarned, it ends with a cliff hanger.
I just started the New Species series by Laurann Dohner. It similar to Lora Leigh Breed series but I enjoy it a lot. If you enjoy books about men who're a bit more animalistic then your average man, you'll definitely enjoy this series

Great. I checked my to buy list and you are on it. I have heard here that it is great. Looking forward to it. Congratulations!

I really liked the Host but am surprised that there is a sequel coming. It seemed like a stand alone to me. They must have offered good money. I believe that she wrote The Host before Twilight, or did I hear wrong?
Yeah, I think there will be two more books - really surprised me as well, but if they're as good as The Host, I will continue to read. I didn't know she wrote it before Twilight.
Finished
Pure smut, loved it. 
Reading
Feel like I've been reading this one forever.
Erin wrote: "Reading and loving it so far."I am really torn about whether to add this to my TBR list because of the wildly differing reviews on GR. Is it like another series that you can think of so I can get a better idea?
I'm reading
So far, I have not been able to put down Kresley Cole's and Gena Showalter's books. They are a must read Immortals After Dark Series, and Lords of the Underworld.
Im reading Succubus Revealed by Richelle Mead.
Hi Denise, A Discovery of Witches is probably not like a lot of the racier PNR like say Immortals After Dark or the Dark series by Christine Feehan, but is a much more literate,historical read with a slow burning romance. Maybe a bit more like the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon especially the later books, if you've read that. I really enjoyed it however despite its detail and length and think the set up for the next two books will be great reading.

I am currently reading Trick of the Light by Rob Thurman. Its pretty good so far.

Thanks Lisa. I loved the Outlander series.
Magda wrote: "Finished Pure smut, loved it. Reading

Reading
which has my two favorite authors in it(Nalini Singh and Ilona Andrews); otherwise there is no way I would paid $15 for an anthology. Had to start with Ilona's story first cause I loved the short story she had of it on her website and so excited to see it in a book. Is it really being turned into a series? cause that would be kickass.Loving it so far...

I can't really think of a series to compare it to, it's quite different from everything I can think of at the moment. I'm only about halfway through at the moment, but I love how the author is building the world around the two main characters and all of the history they discuss. I did find it a little slow at the very beginning, but I quickly got into the story after that. I think though that it's the kind of book I would definitely borrow from the library first to see if I liked the style and story before I bought it. It is a little heavy on some unnecessary details, constantly describing food and wine and clothes. I am really enjoying it so far though.
I'm currently reading The Immortal Hunter by Lyndsay Sands. This is #11 in her Argeneau Series.

I fully agree!! That is why I am trying really hard to put the breaks on so I don't go into withdrawl. I finished all IAD and am DYING!
I just finished
loved it, can't wait to start the next but trying to finish the Oct. challenge.
Reading
right now and about half way through.

Question for everyone,A couple of days ago, on one of the forums over here, someone mentioned a book. The title had moon in it, the cover had a huge moon and the face of a woman with blonde, maybe blowing hair. From the description it sounds like the heroine is psychic and the hero is a vampire? It was being compared to the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I forgot to write the title down and can't find it now.
Help?
Please don't judge me,
distracted me for 6.2 miles on the elliptical, could have gone for 10 if I had time. Ten-thousand yr old Fae warrior, wears Prada and Gucci, fancies his mate whatever her heart admires, shops fancy underwears from Paris boutiques, buys her homes with floor-to-ceiling bookcase library, snaps fingers to clean up any messes, go from one place to another or one world to world...ahhh...a girl can only dream...

All I can say is I enjoyed it so much bc it got me all dreamy about the places he took her, thing he bought her, pampered her like crazy.

Thanks, I love Outlander and don't mind a slow build up storyline as long as there is momentum and captivating characters.
