I'm probably going to start
today since I can't get enough of them nekked cowboys. Plus, I've been in a book funk lately & I know I don't have to think much when reading erotica/erotic romances.
Lethal, how is Frost Moon going? I downloaded that one the other day.
From what I've read so far, it's pretty good, Sandra. Although it's very easy for me to put down for some reason. I think it's me, not the book.
I'm doing that a lot lately also, unfortunately, and I think it's me too.Case in point I've started 2 books this afternoon/night, just for some variety. Magyk is a kids book on the Harry Potter bandwagon, but still good, and Little Red is dysfunctional werewolves.
and
I'll get back you guys on
tomorrow. Only 100 pages in and so far it's nothing write home about.
arrived today, more than a week early and I have to read it NOW.

@Lethal ~ I keep gettin' confuzzed when I see your new pic. Hopefully your nekked cowboys will help ya find your book mojo again. ;)
Hope you find yours soon too, Miss Sandra. No fun when nothin' is holding your interest.
I had a feeling that'd be the case, Ames. Only b/c it's some of her earlier work. But, I found w/Nikki & Michael that they got better as they went on. Not sure the same could be said for those, but just curious.
Enjoy your early arrival! That's always a nice surprise.
I'm about 30% into
and the snark factor has gone up a notch in this one. Nina is crackin' me up. The rest of the girls are providing lots of LOL moments as well. And, the cougar-shifter is holding his own. Might start listening to
here soon.
Finally finished
, started dragging... But it could have been me since I'm trying to get thru my challenge read
and I have like anthology ADD... Also finished listening to
which was good. So now I'm starting
but also downloaded
since I've seen favorable comments on that series.
Glad you enjoyed Jane, Lis. I have a hard time sticking through anthologies too. Good luck! :)
Finished
, it was great - vintage Kane, funny and sexy and smart. I'm so sad she's decided to put this series to rest (on hold?) while she concentrates on the DG series. Have the next one
waiting and ready to go.

Good to hear about the Kane series, I have been wondering about it. I just finished
and it was enjoyable like all Ilona Andrews books/shorts. I started
for netgalley and it is really good. I am reading for librarything's early review
it is very good, beautiful. Still listening to
and reading
Just finished
and rated it 5 stars. It was really good.The problem now is I have a lot of books and I can't decide what to read next! Help, I need your wise advice!
The possibilities are:
(I have all the books here)
(is the series completed? heard the cliffhangers are mean)
(I was thinking of putting this one on hold for the may quickies)
was brilliant! I actually have a list of page numbers on the back of the Amazon invoice it came with of all the excellent bits. I couldn't stop to add status updates with fantastic quotes. That's just how great it was. Perhaps I'll add a few in my review.@Regina -I really enjoyed Of Swine and Roses, I'm glad you did too.
@CyberAlmu -The Fever series is complete. I've read all but Song of Scarabaeus. My favourite out of those is [[book:Angels' Blood|3819326].
thanks for answering Ames! I'll be reading Angel's Blood :D
:D
was not good. I had to force myself to finish that sucker.
seemed unique and original until I was utterly disappointed when turned into Evernight. :(
:( Bummer! Oh well, guess I won't be choosing that as one of my trilogies TBR. LOL! And, double oh no on Firelight. That stinks. Hope you enjoy your next pick!I started
and am flying through it. It's a very easy read. The Twilight similarities are hard to miss, but the story has still somehow managed to keep me interested. If for no other reason that I want to know ... a few things. Sorry, trying to avoid spoilers. I also started listening to
on my nightly walks and have to say I'm starting to like Manny a bit more, as predicted. One chapter of Qhuinn has got me anxious for more of him though. Damn, I love listening to this series on audio. The narrator is fangtastic! LOL!
He is fantastic, he reads the brothers perfectly.
I think so too. :D
Hi, Mafalda! Welcome to the group! Hope you enjoy that one, it's cute. I haven't read the others of the series, but liked that one.
Hello Mafalda :) I really liked Fantasy Lover, hope you enjoy it too!
Welcome mafalda! I just listened to the audio of Fantasy Lover and enjoyed it.
So what does anyone think of
? I recently saw
in the local drugstore and it looked interesting.
Steph - I blew though Amanda Hocking's My Blood Approves series and really can't say that the books were great but they were like crack! I just couldn't get enough. Still patiently waiting for the next one to come out.
Daffodil, I liked
a very different type of dragon story, and have been patiently waiting for #2
it seems like forever.I preordered so waiting for the mailman. LOL.
I'm currently reading
for Bingo. Yay!
@Daffodil ~ I enjoyed Destiny Kills, but it wasn't what I was expecting. My mistake, I have enjoyed many of Keri's series and was expecting a bit more UF, but it was a bit more romance heavy. Not a bad thing, just wasn't what I expected. Definitely an interesting story. I'm definitely going to be reading #2. @Jackie ~ I finished it and just can't decide how to rate it. I am surprised that, after all the Twilight similarities, I found myself as interested as I was. The ending definitely left me wanting to read the next one (view spoiler).
I started
and am about 20% in already. That series is such a quick, fun, sexy read.
I will be starting
for the bingo read if I can get off the computer!
Just started reading Kim Harrison Dead Witch Walking and am loving Rachel. 60 more pages and I'll be moving on to The Good, the Bad, and the Undead. Still debating on the next series after this. Good thing my TBR stack is gargantuan.
Mine were, I LOVED Lover Unleashed. :) I hope you like it.
@ Steph, I am reading
in the same series. It is a fun and quick read type of series. I know it is always good for a laugh.
I got this
today and was so excited until I opened it and realised it was a fictionalised account. Aaaah! Fail. I thought it was non-fic.

is out today! Gonna get my hands on a copy soon.Need to get going on
because it's due back at the library in a couple days.But I also have my hands on
now so eager to continue with the series.
LOL Jackie! I know how you feel. I'm always on here chattin' books instead of readin' them! Bad, but fun. :)@Inga, I just finished it today and enjoyed it. It was very different from previous books, IMO. But, no less enjoyable. I cannot say it enough .... I love listening to that series on audiobook!
@Regina, I have rated them all 5★ so far b/c they have all been so funny, so sexy and such fun to read. But, this last one, Here Kitty, Kitty! (which I finished this AM) was the best, IMO. Though, I think I've said that about #2 as well. LOL!
I'm flip-floppin' on what to read next. I've started Nalini's story in
and listened to a bit of
. Jesse Eisenberg, the little dude from Zombieland, is the narrator. But, I'm still lookin' for something else. Not sure what yet though.
LOL! Life is a bitch, then you can read. hehe Those pesky husbands, don't they know we need time to read. ;) Happy Reading, Inga!
Sandra wrote: "Still hope you enjoy it Moss :)"
Thanks Sandra, I think I probably will. Just have to get my head around the fiction element.
@Steph: ooh whose story is Nalini telling in that anthology? KoS is still so far away!

Moss, it is Psy Changeling, Whisper of Sin in
.If you've read the 1st Psy Changeling you might remember Ria, Lucas's human Office Manger. It is her story and how she joined the pack & got her mate.

Ah yes, that rings a bell. Any good? I don't know if I can bear to read anything Psy/Ch between now and June.
Just got
and
in der mail and not sure which to go with first.

As an anthology its pretty good. Not wonderful but good.Whisper of Sin is basically set in Chinatown and you don't meet too many recognisable 'faces' for any length of time.
As to your 2 choices, I've got Native Star but haven't read it yet. And I have no idea about Falling, Fly.
Others will have to recommend.
The cover of Native Star is very eye catching.I don't know what it is with me about Shelly Laurentsen books. I think the characters are funny, the dialogue is funny, I enjoy watchig the female friendships and the sex scenes are hot -- but I end up skimming some of the battle scenes and I am not too interested in the struggle/war issue that she sets up. But I still want to keep reading them! I gave Magnus Pack #2 3 stars, but enjoyed it.
I am now reading
-- so a many authors have endorsed this book (Jeaniene Frost, Diana Gabaldon, and Charlaine Harris) and it is a nice change of pace to read a book written by a man. I had put Clash of Kings on hold so I could get through my April list of books so I will be going back to that tongiht. And I am listening to Elantris still in audio. Steph I have to thank you, you posted recently about features of the audible app that you liked. I never ever used the audible app, but instead just used my iPod on my iPhone to listen to my audible books. But since you posted I am now using the app and I love it -- thank you!
Mafalda I listened to the audio of that book a month or so ago. :)
Yesterday I finished
. It was sooo good. I'm looking forward to reading the next book!And thanks Ames for recommending me to read it!
At the moment I'm struggling with
. I don't know why, there's something that I find boring about Kitty Norville's series. Same happened with the first book. At first it was boring, then it got a little bit better. I don't know. I'll keep reading them but they won't be my first pick.
I got
and hope to start it soon as well. Right now have started with the Demonica series.
Absolutely love it. Another series to add to Mt TBR.
Just finished Laurenston's BIG BAD BEAST. Loved it. Lots of the crew is in this one even from Magus pack. If you have not read this series it is a must.
Oh my goodness, only 20 pages into Midnight Riot and it is fantastic. So funny and it just pulls you right in.
@Moss ~ I'm just at the very beginning of the short story, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Haven't been disappointed by a P-C story yet. Plus, I needed a P-C fix to hold me over until KoS. @Regina ~ "Steph I have to thank you, you posted recently about features of the audible app that you liked. I never ever used the audible app, but instead just used my iPod on my iPhone to listen to my audible books. But since you posted I am now using the app and I love it -- thank you! " YAY! You're very welcome. I really enjoy that app, it has features that iTunes doesn't. Favorite part is the ability to bookmark your audio when you have to stop.
That book sounds interesting, I'll have to keep an eye out for it. I look forward to reading your review.
@CA ~ I enjoy Kitty, but don't love Kitty. I liked the first one the best. That one (Washington) did have some drab moments for me too. They are easy, quick reads though, so that's a plus. I was pretty surprised with how things went in the next one (Holiday).
@Zina ~ Yay! Another Demonica fan! Loved that series. Very anxious to start LoD next month.
I'm rockin' a wicked cold right now and I've been either blah about reading or falling asleep while trying to read. That and this blasted cold are drivin' me batty. :( BooHoo! LOL!
Hoping by next week I'll be feeling better, so I can dive into all the great books I have set aside for May.

I think I will Steph, it's set a cracking pace so far and it's funny and smart in a nice, understated way. None of the grimness of the other series, but that's okay, her writing still rocks.
