Thank goodness I did, because I honest..."That is the drag with books coming out a year after the previous one. I always have to review the previous book by at least the last 75% just to remember what was going on. I am thinking that while I am reading
because I am loving it and feel so into the story and characters and I know I will forget them before September. (Ironic if you know the story).
I started the Black Dagger Brotherhood, but I am just not that into it so far. Ice Cold Grave by Charleine Harris was pretty good.
Just joined the group so Hello to all. I'm currently reading Faith Hunter's 3d book Mercy Blade from the Jane Yellowrock series with vampires, witches and weres so far. It's no Cat&Bones love story (Jeaniene Frost - Night Huntress)unfortunately but maybe further down the long line of books...
Welcome Chrisoula. Hope you enjoy the group ... We are a lively bunch

i know huh. he deserves a little extra attention too. hehe.
i think ur reread is a great idea. it's been a while for me since i've read the Mercy series and i've forgotten some of the characters and whats been happening. i'm following this one ok, but it would be nice to remember more than i do ;D
Finished this one
and immediately started this one

Ice Cold Grave by Charleine Harris was pretty good."With the BDB, I tend to just read the parts with the main characters and skip over the villains. Probably not the best thing to do, but I only really ever read them for the relationships.

With such a complicated series, it does really help. :)

in December and I'm already planning a need to reread before

I heard that there wasn't any recap in
which scares me a bit, especially with what happens at the end of Days of!
I just finished listening to
and am reading
. Now I just need to find another audiobook for my commute.
Heather wrote: "I started the Black Dagger Brotherhood, but I am just not that into it so far. Ice Cold Grave by Charleine Harris was pretty good."Give it a try after the first book. I was not that interested but had heard so much from readers here that I kept going and was glad I did.
I've just finished the delightful but robust Tragic Desires - A.M. Hargrove. Now I am about to read Daughter - Jane Shemilt.

and
before tackling
I read a recap here: http://recaptains.blogspot.com/2013/0...
but still think I might benefit from listening to the whole thing again if I can find the time.
I just finished
. I enjoyed it, but this series just doesn't seem to be working for me as well as it does for so many others. Now, because I think I need a change of pace from romance, I'm trying a total unknown to me
Also reading
. I will finish this series yet!
About 75% through
and not sure how I feel about it. I will have to wait until the end to see if I continue the series.
In the last few days I've read
and
and now I'm reading
.
I'm trying to get into
, but so far I'm not impressed.

Now I just need to find another audiobook for my commute."I am very picky when it comes to audiobooks and have found the following series with the best narrators. After listenening to one book, I absolutely had to get the rest of the series in audio (even though I have read and own each book.)
Have you listened to
? Any audiobook in this series is absolutely AMAZING. The absolute perfection of the narration only makes the series that much better. The second series with a GREAT narrator is
The third is
I finished Up From the Grave
. I liked it overall, but the last 15% was disappointing. It was a bit of the same old, same old and it didn't feel like the last book. Everything was kind of wrapped up, but not in a totally satisfying way, IMO. I need a break from PNR, so The Plains of Passage
is next.
Changed my mind and went for
and

The absolute perfection of the narration only makes the series that much better."Eleighna, I LOVE Robert Petkoff's narration of the IAD series. I switched to the audio with book four or five and at first I thought "A romance narrated by a man? How awkward." But he is so good. I've since listened to a few other romances narrated by men, but he is by far my favorite so far.
Christine wrote: "Eleighna wrote: "Have you listened to ? Any audiobook in this series is absolutely AMAZING.

I'll definitely stick to audio when it comes to IAD from now on.

is a pretty good retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses fairytale
I'm currently reading Dark and Deadly: Eight Bad Boys of Paranormal Romance I paid a whole 77p (Just over $1). I can read a book in two days, so this is a great buy for me. I've been reading it four days now, and I still have one story left. Better still, I've great discovered new authors that I'll look out for in future.
I'm not going to read the rest of
series because this just didnt hold my interest.Now reading

Finished
. I didn't care for prequels but this was packed with action.Loving

Finished reading
. Funny and quite different from the usual YA, which means a lot less angst is involved, which also means good, and that will mean that I enjoy it. :)

I gave up on that book as well, but I'm willing to give it a try again since apparently it gets better on later in the series
Finishing
Can't stop reading Patricia Briggs!

I haven't tried those, I'll add them to my list!

I know! I need a fix! I heard it was going to be the last one though ... I hope not ...
I finished my advance copy of
. It was really good, perfect ending to the trilogy!Now I'm reading
, also an advance copy, but I'm really hesitant to after the way Sookie ended. I'm also really struggling with it because it's in the 3rd person....

I'm guessing she changed the POV because first person is practically considered a crime worthy of capital punishment in adult fiction these days! It would be odd reading Harris in third person, but there aren't many authors whose first person POV I can cope with.
Listening to When darkness comes by Alexandra Ivy and it's pretty good so far

I heard that as well. I can't believe how good these books are and I'm sad that book three is it. I guess it's better than dragging a series out, but a few more wouldn't hurt ;)
Almost done listening to
and this is one of those that really makes me scratch my head when I see the reviews. The plot is decent enough, but I can't stand half of the dialogue and one of the main character's best friends has to be one of the most annoying and unlikeable characters I've ever come across. A lot of people seem to love her, but she just don't work for me. And since she'd the focus of the next two book, I don't think I'll be continuing this series.I've had a couple so-so audio books in a row, so I have no clue what to listen to next.
I'm currently re-reading Odd Thomas
. I found out yesterday it was made into a movie and that made me want to do a re-read.

Dee wrote: "Have you listened to "I haven't. It's on my radar, but I'm trying to decide if I want to listen to it now, or wait until the third book comes out next year so I can binge listen to three in a row. It seems that if I only have 1 or 2 books in a series to read/listen to I forget a lot of what happened by the time book three comes out.
Christine wrote: "Eleighna wrote: "Have you listened to ? Any audiobook in this series is absolutely AMAZING. The absolute perfection of the narration only makes the series tha..."These are an automatic buy for me.
I cannot wait until 5/6 because
is released on audible (one of my favorites in this series.) Then on 8/5
comes out and I have been waiting patiently (kind of...) for this book.
Finished
. Loved RR series.Reading
.
I'm going to start a reread of the Sookie Stackhouse series:
It has been years and I'm terrified I'm going to hate it second time round!
I'm also going to read another Mercy Thompson book:
