Has anyone read
and enjoyed it? It's currently on offer for under £3 @Kindle UK and I can't decide whether to buy it or not.
Ames, it's so great when you can get your hands on so many books in a series and gobble them up. :) Glad you're enjoying them. I haven't read Grant's series. Maybe someone else has though.

Another series I have, but haven't started ... ugh. :\ LOL! I started listening to
earlier today. Love the narrator(s). It's about a million pages long, so I'm sure the audiobook will take me a few months to get through. J/K Laura! :D I actually have it playing on VLC's "faster" rate, so hopefully it won't take me quite that long. So far, it's definitely not something I'd have chosen myself. But, I trust all the recs I've rec'd.
Steph, I love the Outlander series, I love it. I tried to listen to the audio and I couldn't stand the narrator -- I know some people really think she is fabulous. But I didn't care for her (and I bought 3 of the audio books!). Also, the first 100 pages are slow or so while everything is set up. But anyway, I know that such a long book is a huge commitment but I guess I am saying if you don't like the narrator (like me) -- then it might not be the book. Good luck -- I hope you LOVE it.
Well I just finished
, which I enjoyed. 3 stars. I finished
by audio -- and it was amazing -- 5 stars.
-- I am currently reading these two books. They are both huge -- over 20k locations each on the kindle.I am trying to decide which to listen to in audio next -- any ideas?
Thank you Sandra -- Phili Free, only had it in audio than rather than ebook, I am thinking if I am really liking it. I will just buy the ebook and stop listening. :) Okay Dori it is.
I've been reading erotic romance, paranormal romance, paranormal YA & urban fantasy novels back-to-back this month & frankly, I'm worn out. So now I'm starting one of my favorite-but lesser known-genres, historical fiction, with
.
Just finished
. Cracking good fun, looking forward to the next book. Have run out of books! Horrors. Awaiting shipment of next batch. What to do in the meantime?

A hell of a lot happened in
, it was twice as long as the rest of the books. I love a good conspiracy! And the ending, unbelievably sweet (and funny). I now really understand why Vic is as screwed up as he is.I'm probably going to read
next. I've all ready downloaded it and checked out it's length -longer than Camp Hell.

And I can't believe you've run out of books, that's just not possible. Have you just run out of books you want to read right now?

It's a childrens' book, sorry I don't think I mentioned that. It was great, and a nice change from all the throbbing members/weeping pussies. (incidentally, Lora Leigh is atrocious for these. I told hubby after I found the fifth WP in a row, and he was concerned she might be getting dehydrated).
Yes have run out Sandra, that will totally teach me for reading through the night and not spacing them out so I get longer out of them. Book depository shipping takes forevvvver to get to the bottom of the world too. Boo!

Lol!!And this is tragic Moss! If you really have run out of books and desperate to read, someone on here (Amy I think) recommended reading 'The Mating' by Nicky Charles, which is a free download.

As to the running out of books, like Josie said above, Nicky Charles has a werewolf inspired ebook for free download -
its over 200 pages so should help you keep going. You don't need an ereader, you can read it on your computer.

Same! Somehow it's always the ones I'm dying to read that take the month too.
Thanks guys, will check out that book. Have read a review that says it's like the BDB but with wolves, heh. Sounds fun.
(Josie, have been umming and ahhing about Forbidden. Will be interested to hear what you think).

Josie wrote: "I'm about to start
. I'm scared."Just keep an open mind and have tissues handy. Remember to breathe through the tough parts and pick up multiple PNRs/HEAs afterwards to help dull the pain. That's my advice.
I don't know. I'm not sure whether to rate it 1star or 5stars. I cried. Actually I'm still crying.(view spoiler) What did you think Ames?
I thought it was heartbreaking and very painful to read the ending especially when (view spoiler) I loved the way it was written, so realistic but like you said there are still questions. Okay, I have to go to bed now. Only got 5 hours to sleep.
Lol, feeling emotionally drained so will go to sleep also (although 5 hours? whew, will not be getting up that early fortunately). I'll probably have more to say about this book tomorrow. Usually I like to go through a book after I've finished to briefly re-read my fav parts but with this one, I do not want to set myself off again...
I'm sorry, I'm just a wuss and I won't be reading it. I am however still reading
about 2/3 way and I like it but it is slow going. Not sure why.
LMAO @ Moss' hubby! "I told hubby after I found the fifth WP in a row, and he was concerned she might be getting dehydrated" Too funny! Glad everyone's enjoying there reads. Looks like a great run, Ames. Can't wait to start that series. Even more so after seeing how much you're enjoying it.
Finished
today and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I think adults will enjoy it more than YA. Slow build to much throughout, but anxious for #2 later this year.No idea what's next on the block. Have to catch up on Bingo stuff and emails, then I'll pick something for my EOM (end-of-month) read. Or maybe just finish reading
, which I paused to read my YA book for Bingo.
Can't wait to hear what you think of Nightshade...just on the cover alone, I've been wanting to pick it up.I'm reading
...not paranormal, and not what I expected at first. However, the story is very strong and poignant. It just keeps pulling you in, especially knowing she's retelling the story as a metaphor to deal with a truly horrible, actual event.
I am putting the audio version of
the narration is so bad or maybe the narrator is just not for me. For audio I am moving on to
, LKH doesn't disappoint - the gore and horror element started right away. I am still reading:
I must be in a slump bc I am just not pushing through the books like usual.
Funny you should say that, I've had problems reading the last two weeks as well. Just can't seem to get motivated. I would normally be up to book #37/38 but I'm only on #29. That's a huge drop for me.
Sandra do you know why? I am wondering if I need a genre change? Some audio books I listened to really captivated me and I couldn't stop thinking about them (Breaking the Rules by Brockmann, Troubleshooters #16). I wonder if I have been jumping around between series too much and I should just read a series straight through instead. I feel like I am trying to accomplish too much by reading too many different things. Or maybe I am just in a slump. :)

I have 4 books going at once. I feel a little overwhelmed.
in audio from the library.
in paperback.
in hardcover (though on the back burner because I can't seem to get into it.) and
in library ebook but it expired so I have to borrow again or wait until I buy it to finish it. I also borrowed
but haven't even started it yet.
Regina wrote: "LOL that is alot. I do that too. :)"Glad I am not the only one. I need to finish at least 2 of them. Then it won't be so bad. I guess HP and Dragon Rider will be the first 2. I am not sure because Midnighters #1 is a library ebook and it is going to expire soon!
I hate that. Did you know though, that if you do the following things your ebook won't dissappear: 1) do not close the book and read another ebook on your ereader -- and do not go back to the home page, just keep the book open; 2) do not turn you ereader all the way off (so keep it fully charged!); and 3) do not have it connected to the interent. If you do that -- your book won't dissapear, or that has been my experience. :)

I've found if I have an ebook on my Ipod it doesn't expire. So I have the soothing sound of David Attenborough talking about spiders on my Ipod for life. Win!
Bood depository came through yesterday. Finished

It's not bad. Vic just didn't do something and his lack of action pissed me off royally!
But that didn't stop me from reading
I have no self-control.
