Unapologetic_Bookaholic Today I am reading:
Riding the Storm (ACRO, #1) by Sydney Croft

Also started:
Poison Study (Study, #1) by Maria V. Snyder

Which I am glad to have started. I already knew I like Sydney Croft b/c Larissa Ione is co-author. I've never read anything by Maria V. Snyder, but I am enjoying Poison Study.


message 19: by Kelley (new)

Kelley (shewolf0316) More like what am I NOT reading? I have so many going at various locations and in different formats I'm not sure I will remember them all. But I'll try. LOL

Bathroom Book 1 - Hot for the Holidays (Includes Breeds, #20; Mageverse, #9; Stormwalker, Prequel) by Lora Leigh

Bathroom Book 2 - The Cinderella Mission (Family Secrets) (Silhouette Intimate Moments, #1202) by Catherine Mann

Bathroom Book 3 - My Guardian Angel by Kay Hooper

Yes, THREE bathroom books. LOL I saw someone in anotehr group say that was how they started gleaning the book shelves now that they have an eReader and are trying to get rid of print books. I thought. "Duh, why haven't I done that?" I have two bathrooms at home and one bathroom at work (small building and only two women who use the ladies room) so a different book in each one.

eBook - Play Dead by Meryl Sawyer

Print - Chasing Shadows (Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense) by Terri Reed

Audio Book in Car - Testimony A Novel by Anita Shreve

Audio Book at Home - The Thrall's Tale by Judith Lindbergh

I *think* that's all of them currently...

Lady Allison | 150 comments Kelley, I love that you have 3 bathroom books! Including one at work!!!

Makes it easier that I don't have to keep carrying one with me every time. I may only get a page or two read at a time, but that's a page or two I wouldn't get to otehrwise. LOL I've finished 4 or 5 bathroom books just since the beginning of the year when I started doing that. And I have two that will be finished in teh next week or so. I actually have books lined up, in a drawer or on a shelf or something, in each bathroom, for when I finish the current one. :-)

It's kinda funny at work as when the one cleaning lady comes in to do our building, she so carefully dusts off my bathroom book and always lines it up "just so" on the cabinet where I keep it, making sure the book mark tassle is tucked neatly underneath and everything.


message 22: by Lady Allison (new)

Lady Allison | 150 comments Just finished The Cinderella Deal by Jennifer Crusie by Jennifer Crusie on audio & I really liked it! Her characters are so much fun to listen to! I also finally finished Radiant Shadows (Wicked Lovely, #4) by Melissa Marr by Melissa Marr & I really loved it! It completely exceeded my expectations of that series so far. I'm currently reading a most fabulous nonfic book called Classy by Derek Blasberg & The Reckoning (Darkest Powers, #3) by Kelley Armstrong to finish up the trilogy!

Kelley, that bit about the cleaning lady made me laugh out loud! I wish our cleaning guy cared that much!!!


message 23: by Whitney (new)

Whitney (whitneychakara) | 21 comments Im on book 2 of the Wicked Lovely series Fragile Eternity :). Just finished Ink Exchange and it was so good. I have Radiant Shadows as well.


message 24: by Lady Allison (new)

Lady Allison | 150 comments I hope you like it!!! That series was sort of a hit & miss for me but I really enjoyed Ink Exchange & I liked Seth from Fragile Eternity (Book Three) Wasn't a huuuuge fan of Wicked Lovely but LOVED Radiant Shadows!

Unapologetic_Bookaholic Kelley: Wow! That's a lot, but sounds like me =D I need a book for the moods I'm in =D

Ok so I had to take the bus to the next town to buy a new release. Yeah, this one horse town doesn't have anywhere to buy new books. So on the way I started

The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #2) by Rick Riordan

I am enjoying this series. The characters and the world the author has created. I bought
Infinity (Chronicles of Nick, #1) by Sherrilyn Kenyon The Dragon Factory by Jonathan Maberry

with my gift card it was a lot easier buying a new hardcover. I have never bought a hardcover book! I have always gotten my books at thrift stores. Until I started reading romances/series I always used to buy used. Hehe. So I read a few pages of The Dragon Factory and just love how the author paces the story. I may start Infinity tonight as well.


message 27: by Kelley (new)

Kelley (shewolf0316) I get bored easily. LOL Having a bunch of different books going keeps me interested and keeps each book fresh. I get tired of one, I move on to one of my others. Then I can come back to it later and maybe enjoy it more.


Unapologetic_Bookaholic Kelley: Makes perfect sense =D. Sometimes I find a book I can read straight through in a day but most times I read several books over the course of several days. Finishing probably 3-4 a week.


message 29: by Carolyn F. (new)

Carolyn F. I do one audiobook and one physical book. I'd get too confused and start mixing the stories up. :)

Roxann Maples-Stokes (roxyann) | 6 comments I have just finished "Feed" by Mira Grant. It was really good and tense. I haven't read a zombie book in a long time, but I kept seeing it whenever I went to the Orbit Book site-where some of my new fav authors are:Nicole Peeler and Gail Carringer. Thanks for this site!


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) Finished Bone Crossed (Mercedes Thompson, #4) by Patricia Briggs , I believe I will start reading Night's Cold Kiss (A Dark Brethren Novel, book 1) by Tracey O'Hara .

Okay Roxann, I love Gail Carriger, so I've just requested Feed from the library.

Lady Allison | 150 comments Finally got to finish Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy, #5) by Richelle Mead !!! It was a whole lot of amazing & of course, I will be endlessly tortured until the final book comes out in December! At least it's only 6 months & not a whole year (or two)!


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) Started to read Heart of the Wolf (Book #1) by Terry Spear , which is suprisingly good.
