I know exactly what you mean. It seems like almost everything I've read for the last couple years has had a paranormal element of some sort to it. I'm still reading a lot of Urban Fantasy and Paranormals but, because of the challenges, I've discovered a few other authors I've been missing out on.

I am editing my choices once again. Shew, good thing I am running out of time to keep making changes.

1. July: Read a book whose author’s first or last name starts with “J” Shoulda Been A Cowboy by Lorelei James 7/10 *****

2. Birthday: Read a book from a July B-day celebrant. Lover Mine by JR Ward 7/2 *****

3. Geography: Read a book whose author, setting or character is from Minnesota. Sexy As Hell by Susan Johnson

9. Of Lists and Shelves:International Joke Day Read a book from the first five pages of any of the following shelves: One for the Money by Janet Evanovich 7/12 ****

10. Reader's Choice: Branded As Trouble by Lorelei James 7/7 *****

***** Loved this one, too. This family brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. They all have so much love and acceptance for another (even if they seem to forget it, sometimes). I loved how the book illustrated how quickly a surly kid can put a strain on a relationship and how love, honesty and patience can get you through anything. Oh yeah, not to mention some hot, hot, hot love scenes. {Sighs} I want a cowboy : )

***** This is one of my favorites of the series. There have been some that are just okay, but this one was excellent! Highly recommend!

I really, really, really enjoyed this one. My heart broke for Colt as he battled his addictions and his family's perceptions. I loved how free India was, yet vulnerable and fallible, just like the rest of us. I have never faced addiction issues myself, yet I felt like I shared this roller coaster journey right along with them. Awesome read!



**** This book started out very slow for me. I really wasn't sure if I would like it at all, but I loved it in the end. I can't wait to start the next book.

[Andrea]

I'm in, but will have to decide which ones and then I'll post the ones I'm doing.
