@Mafalda - Glad you liked WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, I agree it is amazing. I pushed it on at least three other readers. She did a great job telling Jacob's story, can't wait until its released on DVD since I haven't seen the movie yet.

Got the "shipping soon" notice YESTERDAY (and STILL not shipped today...) for
,
&
...so just can't settle down to read anything else yet...such a dilemma!

I'm a big fan of Catherine Anderson, she is amazing! I always cry with her books!
I'm reading two books
by Barbara Delinsky and
by Luanne Rice
I've got a whole list of books that I have got to read. First up is
and
. After those I have
,
, and
. Then, there are another 12 or so that I have promised to read soon and mail out....OMG - my grandson just got his first pimple....
I've been reading a few on-the-go:-STILL on
- it's my fault though because in one of my out-of-control moments I flicked through the book and read all the parts with Trent, now I have no incentive to keep going :(
- completely amazing, I can't read more than 100 pages a day because of how intense it is which means I get to really savour it!
- why do I not love this book? It has all the elements, I can't really fault it and yet... I'm just not clicking with it.I just finished
and have the opposite "problem" - why did I like this book so much? On paper it had everything to hate but I found it so addictive! I read it in less than a day :/
Finally finished
after a couple of tries. Not sure if I was in denial that the series was ending, or if it fell a little short of my expectations. Started working on
since I haven't tackled the Immortals After Dark series yet. And starting
next.
I finished Night Star by Alyson Noel, oh gosh, I love the series but this book didn't worked for me. I didn't like it but I'm going stick with the series so I started
I've been on an HR binge. The series I've just finished is by Eloisa James, and starts with this book:
And I've got more coming by the author. I can't seem to shake the HR bug.
It also doesn't help that there's nothing in UF that's calling to me atm. Although that CE Murphy series looks kind of interesting.
Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!
It's like quicksand Sandra, it's sucking me under heh. Am powerless against its pull.
Doesn't help that it's so freakin HUGE. Before I started reading in the genre I thought UF was enormous, but haha shows what I know.

Well, HR has been around a whole lot longer. Have you read any Georgette Heyer or Amanda Quick? Both some of my favs.

I think I read Heyer back hen I was a teenager just discovering the lurrrve genre. I don't think I've read anything by Amanda Quick, will go check her out. Thanks :)

Finally finished
...LOVE Dune, and some of the new ones, but this one was hard to get into...kept putting it aside, but HAD to finish by the end of the month. Actually, last 200 pages or so really grabbed me.Anyway, started
and liking it quite a bit!
I know how you feel, Moss! I haven't read an urban fantasy book for over a month now (apart from a free short story, Cassie Palmer #4.5). What has happened to me?? I think it was around the time I hit a bit of a reading wall which made me switch genres, mainly to YA (huh?), fantasy and the occasional PNR. I'm also on fairy-tale retellings for some reason. Tbh, it's made me really excited to read some UF again, I reckon I must've missed the swords and leather ;)Now I need to find a great UF to bring me back, has anyone read either
,
,
or
?

Yeah UF is just dead for me right now. The last good UF I read must have been the last Kate Daniels and nothing since.
Megan Chase book: have you read the DG series? She's got the same great kind of male lead here, same slightly unfocused heroine (wants to curl up into a ball and give up a lot), same mish-mash world that doesn't always make sense. But still pretty good.
Secret McQueen: haven't read.
Annabelle Lee: shoot me. No really, kill me now.
WWP Radio: really liked this one.

Yeah sometimes it's nice to have a bit of a break.I loved DG so that's good that you compared it to that! Oh no, Annabelle Lee was that bad?? What didn't you like about it?
And I actually own WWP Radio so I'm glad about that :)
Josie wrote: "Oh no, Annabelle Lee was that bad?? What didn't you like about it?"
Terrible writing, banal plot, deeply unsexy love triangle, weird racial stereotyping. If you're the kind that likes torturing themselves for the lolz, I'd say this is the book for you. Otherwise, no.
Just IMO of course, heh.
Yeah the Megan Chase book is good. But you have to do that thing that one has to do with Stacia Kane: don't let the details bog you down because sometimes they don't actually make any sense at all. But the hero is all kinds of yum, so I'd rec it based on his smexiness.

HR and non-fic has been replacing UF at the moment. I'm currently laughing at
and
but I've also been reading the Wallflowers series by Lisa Kleypas. I am no longer a Kleypas virgin and I completely understand why she's so loved. I've read 3 in a couple of weeks. Only 1 left.
Wallflowers:
I haven't read the last one yet. I'm savouring them. I was really angry at a character in book #2 but LK completely changed my mind in #3. I think I'll read The Hathaways next.
I am dong a re-read of wallflowers #1 right now. I love Simon hunt. :). I never did read Daisy's book. I have it but I just have no desire to read it. I agree about #2. I started reading #3 minutes after I finished #2 as I could not believe that the character could be redeemed! But LK worked her magic. There is a book that takes place before wallflowers #1
it is a fabulous book. It is about Westfliff's sister. I agree about UF and PNR. I am only reading the series I really want to finish. I am so off UF right now. It is kind of depressing.
Regina wrote: " I agree about #2. I started reading #3 minutes after I finished #2 as I could not believe that the character could be redeemed! But LK worked her magic."That's exactly how I felt. Thanks for the letting me know about the prequel, Regina.
I've read 3 UFs in the past 2 months and they all sucked. I've overdosed on PNR as a result so I'm exploring other genres for a while.

I've heard good things about that series Cindy. Will maybe check it out.

I've been wanting to start the Hathaways, especially since Cam from Devil in Winter (he kissed Daisy), is in the first one,
I'm reading
.The first is driving me bonkers with the narration, the second is full of cliches and the third is a run of the mill erotica.
Sigh...
Finished
and had to find THE DARKEST ANGEL (Lysander & Bianka's story), liked much :) PASSION not as much :(Finished listening to
and wow, could this be the last one? And congrats... also read that Richelle Mead had a baby boy too. Starting on
audio.Reading
next I think.

comes out in 5 more days!"SQUEE!!!!!! I know!!!!!! Unfortunately, it isn't in the budget for a couple of weeks, at least......
Just finished:
Next up:
Ok i have a question...im about to drive 3 hours to the beach and wanted a book to read...i just got the new
and was hearing that this is a spinoff of VA (well it has the same characters in it)...should i read VA first before reading this series? If so then im just going to start
because i have been dying for this to come out!

I've been in one of those ruts, although I guess the last book I finished was only a couple days ago, haha, so not too bad, just seems like forever.Read
which was pretty good, the cover popped out at me, and now I want to read
, since so many people enjoy it.Then I tried continuing
, started
, picked up
and listening to
. I liked all of them but just can't stick with anything, so resorting to some re-reads.Re-reading
to see if I still love it, plus it fits the bingo shelf and listening to
, I was curious about the audios for the series and my library has this one. The voice of Bones is a little over the top, but I think I can live with it. Maybe it'll get me ready for book 6.
Just finished
which I liked but not as much as the first. And
which was really good. I think I want to read the second one.Now reading

I have more than enough books. Why do I look through these threads!
LOL
Because, just like the rest of us, you can't stand the thought of a wonderful book NOT getting read by you. We are always looking for the next WOW book and we don't want to miss out on any of them......
I agree Cindy. LOL. Couldn't bear to miss out :DCurrenty reading for the 1st time and really enjoying
Its true! I was like a post apoc book? Gotta have that. lol read these two last night after the family was asleep.
This was solid book. Three stars and half. The hero was sweet. Very much like Breeds but sweeter.
A good book to at about a three. The hero was also sweet. Sweet Alphas. Who knew? I will read the rest of the series.
