message 1853: by Heather L (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) Finished The Hollow by Nora Roberts last night -- this seems to be my year for catching up on NR books. Nine so far this year, and at least that many I hope to work into the queue before the end of the year.

Am now re-reading a favorite childhood classic, Rascal by Sterling North. This is for a mini-challenge in another group, though I've been wanting to read it again since stumbling across a copy in like-new condition at the library's monthly used book sale.

Sonya Heaney I'm about 10% into Desperate Hearts by Rosanne Bittner

I don't usually read Westerns, so this is all very new to me...

I've never read anything by that author, Lizzie. I do have the first in that series 'tagged.' Did you read that one?

Saxonjus | 138 comments Ive just finished The Coming of Derek! a funny read quite saucy in places! a sultry chick flick but about a bloke!

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Looks cute, Jess.


message 1865: by Stories (new)

Stories & Verse (storiesverse) | 256 comments I finished reading Hearts at Play a few days ago. I heard about it through BookBub. I usually bypass single parent romances but something about the book cover drew me in. The story was engaging from beginning to end, and I am now a Melissa Foster fan. I gave it five stars.

Hearts at Play (Love in Bloom, #9, The Bradens, #6) by Melissa Foster


message 1866: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Looks really good, S&V. I 'tagged' it. Thanks!


message 1867: by Heather L (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) Read two older Nora Roberts books last week, Hot Rocks and Finding the Dream, and am now reading a cozy mystery set during WWI, No Graves as Yet. Not too far into it yet, but good so far, though chapter three was rather philosophical.


message 1868: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments I remember enjoying, Hot Rocks, Heather. I don't think I've read the other NR.


message 1869: by Heather L (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) LK: It's the third book in her "Dream" trilogy -- I read the first two last month, and finally got round to the last. I've been doing a bit of a NR catch-up this year, one or two books a month, and there are still so many I haven't read.


message 1870: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments I'm trying to catch up on her In Death series, when she writes as J.D. Robb. I don't read as much when she writes as NR, but I do like some of her newer ones.

The Witness by Nora Roberts looks great, and I have it on audio. I just need to get to it!!


message 1871: by Heather L (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) I read The Witness earlier this year and I though it was pretty good. I haven't read any of her JD Robb books yet, much to friends' dismay. ☺


message 1872: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments **chuckles** I'm enjoying them. I started them years ago when they first came out and got several friends hooked, but then I stopped. Started them again about two or three years ago. Really enjoying them on audio; excellent narration!!

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments I just finished a quickie, When We Touch (Whiskey Creek, #0.5) by Brenda Novak . I enjoyed this novella very much - more than I though I would, but I'm still not sure I'm going further in this series; the synopses of some don't appeal to me, while others do. **shrugs**

your welcome... Almost every rating is a five star... i was excited about it and had to share... i am almost positive anyone who reads Hearts at Play will have something good to say about Hugh and Brianna.

Neither have I, this was the first book I have read from Melissa Foster... I think you may or may not like it depending on what type of genre you prefer

Well, S&V, I was going to break a rule and start at #9 - Hearts at Play, but I checked Amazon and #1 - Sisters In Love is free right now on Amazon here! I'll give it a shot.

message 1894: by Heather L (last edited Sep 13, 2014 09:36PM) (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) I had to set Emma aside temporarily, as I was having difficulty getting into it and it was skewing my Goodreads Challenge average (I went from 8 books ahead before starting it to only 4 ahead -- and was only halfway through the stupid book).

Since setting it aside I've read two older romances from Mount TBR, Urban Sensation by Debra Webb and A Rancher's Brand of Justice by Ann Voss Peterson.

I also started Patricia Brigg's latest release, Shifting Shadows: Stories from the World of Mercy Thompson, which is a collection of short stories, so I've been reading a couple in between other books, and am just starting a cozy mystery, Books Can Be Deceiving by Jenn McKinlay.

Really, Dhes? With a much as you read, I'm shocked - shocked, I tell you. ☺


message 1896: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Whoa, Heather. That's a drag. I don't blame you. I was very tempted to get PB's latest, but I've read about half the stories. Such a pretty book and cover, though. **sigh** I'll probably check it out from the library later.

I borrowed it from a friend, and we've only read two of the stories previously, "Alpha and Omega" and "In Red, With Pearls." Four are actually new, while most of the rest appeared in some anthology or other over the years. There are also outtakes/deleted scenes from Silver Borne and Night Broken.

As mentioned above, I've been reading a couple in between other stuff, and have read the first four -- all new to me -- and am liking it so far.

Leslie (chibilee02) Wow...been awhile since I've been around here. Hopefully I'll have the time now to be more active around here.

I'm currently reading Nora Webster by Colm Tóibín and A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire, #2) by George R.R. Martin on my Kindle.
