What are you reading right now?
This week I finished Paranormalcy, by Kiersten White. It was a fun read, with a little different twist on the paranormal. I'm about to start the second book in the series.
At work, I'm reading
and tonight I'll be reading
Finished
and still can't get over what a great PNR read it was. I hate been in limbo while enjoying the afterglow of a great read. Nothing seems to hit my fancies, sigh...that doesn't mean I have some great books in the wings, just couldn't get myself out of the funk.

oh great, thanks. I may re-read the last 2 chapters..
I agree, Crazy4more, Winterblaze is an awesome PNR book. Kristen Callihan has created a really amazing soul consuming PNR world in her Darkest London series. All 3 books are so good...waiting for the 4th, Shadowdance, to come out.

There's a KA group on Goodreads, you should join if you haven't already. I read anything KA but the unfinished heroes is my least fave series of all hers.

Whewww...finally a book to captured my interest right away,
. And wow, what a beginning. The only thing that I'm hestitating is I've read the first book soooo long ago, but I remembered how much I loved it. Hope it'll come back to me.

I just finished Clockwork Princess and it was awesome as well. I just didn't know how the whole love triangle thing was going to be resolved without heartache but it worked for me, even if I needed a box of tissues to get through the epilogue.

Thanks Allison, I'll go join it now. I started with Rock chick, then the Dream Man series & now this series. I went to pre order Own The Wind (Chaos 1) but it hasn't been allowed to be downloaded in Australia so I have to wait & hope it eventually lets me download it

No offense taken. Your profile is set to private so I can't see the other books you're read. But Molly Harper is definitely on the humorous side and not dark. Out of curiosity, why only books after 2010? I think most of my favorite series started before then.

Sorry, so many good ones LOL! I've either read them or have them purchased and scheduled to read in the upcoming months. If there's anything from the list that you want or need more details on, just let me know. Hope it helped a little at least to give some options to look into :) Oh, and only listed PNR ones. There are so many great dystopians and post-apocolyptic ones but didn't list any of those since you said PNR.

Loved this, long wait for the next one though
Pianolover wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Pianolover wrote: "i need HELP!!! i just dont know what to read im searching for books! help me please.. i like reading paranormal romantics fantasy stuff help me out please"Okay,..."
OH YES!!! Definitely read Divergent it's my absolute favorite dystopian LOL! Read
and LOVED them all. Can't wait for book 3 which thank goodness comes out in October YAY! Can you tell I'm a little bias :) I also really enjoyed these if you want to check them out:
then I've also read these that are much lighter reads and liked them as well and lots of readers seem to have enjoyed them too:
Most recently I read
which I LOVED. It's a bit darker in feeling but amazing story and I liked that it's a mixture of YA, PNR, and post-apocolyptic all rolled into one and by my favorite PNR author Kresley Cole who can do no wrong in my book LMAO! Have read all of her books and enjoyed them all. She's also the author of My favorite PNR series of all time Immortals After Dark. Yes, as Christine pointed out, this series began prior to 2010 but new books are being released for this series and personally I hope it runs forever because it's that great. Hope these help out too. I'll let you know if I come across anything I think you might enjoy. Oh Oh, I also Loved
it was good, light, funny! And have
in my list of soon to read and loads of readers are loving it as well as
Trilogy. Recently read
and also LOVED it. Hilarious and solid writing.
On chapter 10 of
and am not sure about it yet. Lots of weird spooky stuff but I need something more to happen.
Denise Nanna wrote: "On chapter 10 of and am not sure about it yet. Lots of weird spooky stuff but I need something more to happen."Yeah, it's not action driven, this one's more about Perry.. I liked it, but because Perry's very close to me!
I think it's one of those series that grow on you and where the relationship builds as you go along
Finished
. I really liked Terrible, not sure how I feel about Chess. She's ok. Good storyline.
I'm reading ink heart since the host I've drifted from the paranormal thing and I'm now into sci-fi and fantasy books! I need to read the 13th book of Morganville series an start the infernal devices trioligy
Pianolover wrote: " The Lux, Existence, Kate Daniels, The Iron Fey thats all ive read from the list ,..."I second
,
, and
. Staying in the YA genre I would also recommend
,
, and
.Not being certain where your tolerance for sex and gore might be (love Kate Daniels, but even that first book has a monster who rapes women and animals and threatens to rape Kate repeatedly - that's pretty dark stuff), so I'll give my go-to recs:
For romance-lite I love Ilona Andrews (Kate Daniels series) and Patricia Briggs (Mercy Thompson and Alpha & Omega series). For heavier romance I go Nalini Singh (Psy-Changeling and Guild Hunter series), Larissa Ione (Demonica series), Shelly Laurenston (especially if I want something more on the funny side), and Thea Harrison (same). Kim Harrison's The Hollows series I feel falls somewhere between the two as far as romance levels go.
New series that I've really liked are
,
,
, and
I read fire from the graceling series I love it!
Finished
left me wanting more so it was a good series. About to start
@ Ninab - Wow yes, I really loved
and I really liked
as well. And I have
in my kindle to read soon so now I'm super excited to know you liked it. I also have the others and haven't read them either so I'm really looking foward to them!@ Pianolover - so happy that you have so many great recommendations to look through. Hope you find some that you like :)

Christine wrote: "I've been on a historical romance kick with

. Love, love, love this series!"The Hathaways is one of my favorite series ever.
Finished
. Reading
♥,
and I really like it,
for school,
it's amazing of course, and
I'm not far in but liking it.
Read
a bit disappointing. Not as good as the first book. Oh well. Now reading
hope it's good. Heard lots of good stuff about it :)
Just making a start on
I just finished Knight & wasn't all that thrilled by it but I still liked it. I'm about to start Creed but am really really upset Amazon wont let Australia download Own The Wind
Oh gosh! So little time. Have to focus on my studies this whole month, and probably next month, and next next month... GAH! Never mind. I'll just use my free time (as little as it may be) to read. Last two chap of
. Starting
. A little break from PNR. :)

Just finished
it was amazing, I also finished
which was also great and now I've started
I understand it is not Amazon, but the country and the publisher. I read that on another goodreads group.
Fellow Aussie here Sheree who feels you pain. It's all to do with when an author sells their book apparently they have different publishing deals in different continents. Seems ridiculous doesn't it when there is the technology and the willing readers to buy their product. It is like the DVD zones I guess.I wish they'd sort it out and they'd cut out a lot of illegal downloading.

Seems ridiculous doesn't i..."I KNOW!! it's freaking insane!!! Even the 5th Charlie Davidson is the same & another book I wanted to pre order. What pisses me off is that I have downloaded all the other book's of the same author's so you'd think they'd let you download the next in a series. This started with BDB, they wouldn't allow it & now Amazon keep "recommending" I download BDB. The same happened with The Guild Hunter but eventually that series became available
FINALLY finished
and loved it. Oh I hate cliffhangers though. Started
today and really liking it so far.
Fallon wrote: "FINALLY finished and loved it. Oh I hate cliffhangers though. Started today and really liking it so far."Love Halfway to the Grave! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Bones... *dreamy sigh* ;D

so just tell me on a scale of 10 how good is it?
Halfway To The Grave gets 10 out of 10 just for Bones.
Charlotte (Buried in Books) wrote: "Halfway To The Grave gets 10 out of 10 just for Bones."Yes. Yes. Yes. Bones all the way!
Finished
- 3.5 stars. Not as good as Hidden Crimes (I think the author really hit on something special there), but an enjoyable read.
