Liz Lovesrainbows (lizlovesrainbows) | 41 comments I'm having trouble sticking w/ a book right now but as of this moment I'm reading Girl's Guide to Witchcraft (Jane Madison Series) by Mindy Klasky pretty good so far!! Just may end up finishing this one! :)

Julie | 188 comments Finished up Fate's Edge (The Edge, #3) by Ilona Andrews and it was simply fantastic; I didn't want it to end. Defintely one of my favorite books of the year. I would recommend this book simply for Kaldar(he jumped into my favorite heros of all time list) alone, let alone all the other great stuff in it.

Reading Lord of the Abyss (Royal House of Shadows, #4) by Nalini Singh and am liking it so far...I am defintely lucky this month as three of my favorite authors(Nalini Singh, Ilona Andrews, and Lora Leigh) have books out and that makes me very happy :)

The Fever series will change your life! I have never read a series
that invaded my mind like this one. Barrons is the best! I hope you enjoy it and you'll want the next ones in line most of them end with a cliff hanger.

Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake (Love By Numbers #1) by Sarah MacLean

Bemidji (ehleighen) | 39 comments My husband and I just finished the series The Uglies, The Pretties, The Specials, and The Extras. Uglies, The Collector's Set (Uglies, #1-4) by Scott Westerfeld . It was a fun read. certainly a few things I would have liked done differently, but overall it was good.

Then we started Darkfever (Fever, #1) by Karen Marie Moning . we're about halfway through and it's a really fun good book so far. I was disappointed Half Priced Books didn't have the rest of the series, so I'll have to request them from the library.

I'm also sorta reading through Destined (House of Night, #9) by P.C. Cast . I say sorta because I actually don't really like the series. It annoys me to no end that these "vampyres" are really witches; just call them witches, you know?. All Zoey's friends annoy me immensely; most of the book is just nonsensical blathering - I stopped reading the dialogue of most of her friends serveral books ago. However, I have a hard time not finishing a series as I have a mild interest to see where it's heading. I can't believe how long this story is dragging out though. Book #8 was my favorite as I like the story between Stevie Rae and Rephiam. So I started Destined, hoping to read more about those 2, but I am sure bored, so I am just skimming through, pretty much just reading the parts by stevie rae, rephaim, kalona, and a few other bits here and there.

I'm always reading so many books, usually a few at a time, that I'm having trouble even remembering what some books are about! case in point at Half Priced Books the other day, I saw the book Falling Under (Falling Under, #1) by Gwen Hayes and I couldn't even remember what it's about. not a good thing I guess (not being able to remember). I'm also part way through Kiss of the Night (Dark-Hunter, #4) by Sherrilyn Kenyon . I loved the first 4, but this one just isn't doing it for me. I have about 100 pages left and haven't read it for a couple months now.

lol, yea I guess I'm sorta lucky. The books he reads on his own are the typical guy-stuff sci-fi (Jim Butcher, Robert Heinlein, Wheel of Time, Game of Thrones, etc) and politics. Same thing with movies - he would prefer to pick sci-fi/horror/action stuff, however he likes romantic comedy movies as much as I do (he's a complete teady bear; I swear he was a female in a past life, always wants to cuddle - WAY too much for me actually though). It feels sorta corny, but he likes me reading aloud to him, especially in the car when he's driving. We started with Harry Potter, then Twilight. Then when I read my first Dark-Hunter story about Kyrian, which cracked me up so much, I kept reading him the passages that cracked me up, so when I got about half way through the book, I just started over and read it to him, along with the 2nd dark hunter book and he liked those. I don't think he would ever sit down to read them on his own, but he definitely enjoys them and likes sharing them with me by me reading them to him. So it's pretty fun that we can enjoy them and crack up laughing at the same time.

My husband has read The Magic Bites (Curran series), Mercedes Thompson series, Hunger Games series, Fever (Mac and Barrons) series and the Outlander series and has enjoyed them all. He also usually likes to read historical non-fiction and political books too. Its nice to be able to talk about the books with him.

Now reading Eragon (Inheritance, #1) by Christopher Paolini since our 14 year old loves the series and recommended it.

message 18615: by Chuku (new)

Chuku | 3 comments Just finished Love is Darkness and Love is Fear. They are very good. Sookie Stackhouse's fans ((before the Sookie's book became annoying) will enjoy them. Right now, Love is Darknessis only $0.99 in Amazon and it has 4.5 stars based on 100+ customer reviews.

I can't wait for the third book on May.

My husband and I do that too. I have to actually give him the credit of getting me into reading PN. He read Twilight and the Sookie Stackhouse books before me. One of our favs. is Immortal Beloved (Immortal Beloved, #1) by Cate Tiernan and we can't wait for the second in the trilogy to come out in Jan. He has read tons of the different series and is actually reading the BDB series right now because he loves the warrior aspect in it and wants to start Claimed (Brides of the Kindred, #1) by Evangeline Anderson as I read probably read over half to him because it was so funny. But it is nice to have something you both really enjoy and can talk about.


message 18626: by Julie *-* (new)

Julie *-* (ladymamaj) | 98 comments Alright everyone... I've been stuck on what to read next. I want something GREAT... a series that is "can't put down" worthy. There are so many that I have already read and so many that I wanna read but I just can't seem to decide which one. I am coming to all of you for help. Name me your favorites... ones that you thought were just wonderful. That might help me figure out which one to read next.


message 18627: by PepperP0t (new)

PepperP0t  | 539 comments I'm partial to Larissa Ione (both Demonica & Lords of Deliverance) & Lara Adrian's (Breeds)work myself. I also like Lords of the Underworld (Gena Showalter) Chloe O'Neill's Chicagoland Vmapires & Darynda Jones' Charley Davidson as well. I'm recently started both Vampires in America by D. B. Reynolds & Alpha & Omega by Patricia Briggs and am enjoying them both. Hope there's something in there you might find interesting.

Delaney  Reimers  (delaneyakafrog) | 347 comments Ok Juli here's mine. I really love Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling, #1) by Nalini Singh It is a can't put down series for me and I just read Claimed (Brides of the Kindred, #1) by Evangeline Anderson There are 3 out in the series so far I believe and it was great. Read it in a day, had tons of funny parts but still had a romance side that was great too. It was also different from the vampire, werewolf series that I read a lot of, so that helped too, for me to have a little bit of a change. I also like the Demonica series along with BDB and Night Huntress.


Finished Raine (The Lords of Satyr, #2) by Elizabeth Amber It was a little different for me. Now reading Desire Unchained (Demonica, #2) by Larissa Ione about halfway through. Love this series.

My top choice series is Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series. I also love Kerrelyn Sparks Love at Stake series(it's humorous and still sexy). If you want to try a non paranormal, one of my favorite series I read this year was a contemporary romance by E.L. James Fifty Shades of Grey. Each of these was a can't put down series.

Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1) by Jeaniene Frost How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire (Love at Stake, #1) by Kerrelyn Sparks Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1) by E.L. James

I've seen those before but the story seemed exactly the same as Lora Leigh's Breeds. Too close.

Katya, have you read the Breeds series from Lora Leigh? The only thing that has held me back from this series that the description sounds EXACTLY the same as that series. Is it? or is it just the way it's described.


message 18636: by Carolyn F. (new)

Carolyn F. They are similar PA but not as intense, especially the sex and the yearning that are in Lora Leigh's books. Laurann Dohner wrote these a long time ago and is finally publishing them, so I don't think they're an actual copycat. I like both series, but I have to be in the mood for Lora Leigh's books because they're mostly dark.

My only problem with the book is that I think it moved too fast. That's why I only gave it 4 stars. I still loved it though and actually cried when one of the characters died.

My favorites: either of Nalini Singh's series: Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling, #1) by Nalini Singh or Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter, #1) by Nalini Singh

Patricia Briggs Moon Called (Mercedes Thompson, #1) by Patricia Briggs
Kate Daniels Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1) by Ilona Andrews (although for me book 1 started kind of slow, but once it finally takes off the series is awesome)
Rob Thurman Nightlife (Cal Leandros, #1) by Rob Thurman (This one's very different from the rest, but I love her style of writing)

If you haven't read Nalini Singh, I say start there. With both of her series I thought the first books were good, but the second and third each get better and better.
