Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion
General Discussion
>
What are you reading right now?
Question: I thought this discussion was for what PNR/Urban fantasy you're reading right now? Why are some readers posting bks that aren't in this genre?(non PNR/Urban fantasy). Just curious.
Ann, I think we're all guilty of this & I don't mind. It actually helps me because if I know the person has enjoyed a certain book (BDB, Night Huntress, etc) then I will probably like the Historical Romance/Contemporary Fiction/Romance/Erotica/YA or whatever it is that they're also reading. :) Helps pad my already hefty TBR.
Yeah, I think we are all guilty too, the topic really is "What are you reading right now" so I think anything goes!
just finished
- I'm not in love! I'm not even in Like with this series anymore.

Just curious."I wondered that too in the beginning, but I have been the beneficiary of so many good recommendations on books that are not PNR that I would never have known about like Outlander and Fifty Shades just to name a couple.
Nora Robert's Morrigans Cross trilogy is wonderful I loved them.I thought they were great as well. I got them from my library, but wished I had bought the paperbacks. I would definitely like to reread the trilogy.

Just curious."Its because this post isn't just for pnr/uf books we're reading right now, but all books we're reading at the moment. If it weren't for this group, I'd never know about Fifty Shades or Outlander.
On the Outlander front, I'm trying to work through
, but its very tedious. I'm also reading
.
Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane. At least, that's my latest UF read. (Currently, reading Fables, Vol 16: Super Team.) I bought Unholy Ghosts a few months ago when it was on sale, but never got to it because I didn't have a Kindle, just Kindle for PC, and reading on the computer wasn't working for me.Got a Kindle for my birthday, so Unholy Ghosts will be my first read on the new toy.
Finishing up
(hopefully) tonight, then starting
I am on the last book of the Shades series
and I have to say, Christian Grey can be creepy. I know everyone loves him but he is a little crazy. I know he has been through a lot but "damn". Outside of the sex and money, he is unbearable. I love the series.

I am really enjoying it so far! I'm at a point where I can't decide who she'll end up with... Rockley, Sebastian... or even Max?? Haha!
Hello everyone :) I'm new to the group. I just finished reading Fifty Shades Freedthis afternoon and it was awesome just like the previous 2 books in this trilogy. Hot and great character development by E.L. James. And before this I read and LOVED LOVED LOVED [book:Daughter of Smoke and Bone|8490112! Laini Taylor is a goddess of the written words. This book is simply one of the BEST if not THE BEST paranormal/YA book out right now.
Renee wrote: "Started Lover Avenged this morning :)"Hi Renee - This series kind of grows on you on you continue working through the books. I've read them all currently waiting for the release of Lover Reborn which is #10 in this BDB series I believe. Anyway, just wanted to tell you that some of them are simply great and the last couple have been awesome. JR Ward has written some really good main characters and can't wait for the next book in this series to come out to see where she's taken the character now.

Hi Yvonne, I'm challenging myself to complete 150 books as well for the year hopefully we'll make it :) Just also wanted to say that the series you're currently reading IMAD by Kresley Cole is AWESOME! Kresley Cole is just fantastic writing these creatures of the Lore as she calls them. And they are LOL hysterically funny. This series is by far my favorite series out of all of the series I've read and am currently reading. They never disappoint and only seem to get better and better believe it or not. They're not like most series out there that start to slip overstaying their welcome. No, no, not this series. Kresley Cole just keeps making them better and better so you are in for quite a joyful and entertaining ride.
I'm starting Significance either tonight or tomorrow, book 1 in the trilogy by Shelly Crane. Has anyone from this group read this trilogy yet? It's supposed to be really good.

I ended up starting Stormwalker by Allyson James. Its pretty good so far.
I'm getting ready to start reading
.
I'm gonna start reading:

I challenged myself to 120 this year. We will see if I make it. I'm kind of a slow reader.

I am really loving Judd too. I love this series also. But I am getting worried that while I am reading other books for my challenge I am forgetting things with this series. So I am debating with myself on wither I want to stop doing my challenge and just read this series till I'm done or just keep going how I am. And I'm just not sure.

I'm ok with it IF you guys are OK with it too. It'll save me time tracking through different groups.

I know lots of girls love him but I just found him to be a control freak despite his past and also wondered whether Ana would put up with all the cr** if he wasn't sexy, rich and great in bed. Hoping there is a really big HEA in

I was saying i love all the men including Kyle and Warren even though I would have no hope with them.. considering they are gay and all. ;)
I ordered myself not to pick up another book until i had read the three that I'm already part way through..... I knew it was a useless order... After seeing everyone reading Mercy Thompson series I decided to revisit Adam and Mercy by rereading
Then I got distracted by lots of new posters for The Hunger Games movie and reread
and
Now I've gone off on the Jack Reacher train and started

I was lucky that I read this series before I joined GR and became addicted to the challenges. So I was able to read books 1-7 back to back. But I'm thinking of sitting out next months challenges so I can focus on Kresley Cole's IAD. I just read the first one last week, and just loved it and think it's another one I would like to read back to back.
Crazy4more wrote: "Wow, your library is quick getting new books"They usually are pretty good. I just starting using the library regularly about sixth months ago and I'm in love with it. Plus, I found the link to go on-line and recommend purchases, so I went on and recommended all my favorites that have switched to hard back and I'm now first on the list to get
when they come out. So exciting! I think I've just lucked out to live in the county I do. It's got great schools and a great public library system.
Almost done with
. It's okay. Not my favorite read this month, but it was quick and I'll probably check out others in the series. But tonight, I get to pick up
from the library!! Hello Chase!
In the past week I finished
&
. Now reading

It was such a let down. I have come to expect so much more from Richelle Mead. She could have done a much better end to what would have been another great series. But instead - we as the reader were handed that mess!
Amy wrote: "Starting - 
on audio"Have you read Night Huntress & Black Dagger Brotherhood? I read NH late last year & I am on book 2 of Black Dagger, I love it but I am so far behind as most people on here have read the series already. I am so far behind everyone else & think I will be for a while. Richelle Mead was the reason I found Adult based PN & told EVERYONE to read Succubus & Dark Swan. I am so glad I found this site with some awesome recommendations ;)

I've read both of those and loved almost every minute of it. I highly recommend Nalini Singh
Psy-Changeling Series (Currently 12 books)
Guild Hunter Series (Currently 5 books)
the Psy series i will get to but am considering after bdb i read highlender & then the fever series, trust me lol my tbr list is soooo long & once I start a series, I like to stick with it until I've read them all lol i hate stepping out to read another book that's just been released in other series I read, I'm strange as I feel like im cheating on my books if I go off to read the latest
I normally stay away from spoilers, but I had to see what the big deal was about
. I'm so glad I did. I won't be reading this series now.
