Currently reading and loving it! It;s my first Jill Shalvis, and there is something absolutely wonderful about discovering an author with plenty of backlist.

Almost finished with this and about to move on to . I've been rotating contemporary/historical lately. Have a couple children's mysteries i need to get to though - one is a new Sherlock Holmes spin-off, and who doesn't love those?

And I've already finished 6 of those books I last posted.

ROFL Megan! People think I'm nuts but I love doing several at once like that. I have books scattered all over the place so even if I forget to take a book with me somewhere, more than likely I've got something else already started and waiting for me.

Then there's the fact it actually keeps the stories fresh. When I get to a slow point, I switch to something else for alittle while and later come back to the slow part of earllier book or to a book I'm not enjoying as much and then I'm happy to keep reading. As strange as it may seem, I think I actually finish books slightly faster with the jumping around cuz I never feel "stuck" in a book.

[Megan]

LMAO!! I don't think its nuts- I think you’re genius! I am really enjoying have one for each media (audio, e-book, and print). I don't have the discipline to have as many going at the same time that you do, but now that I have a Kindle, I like mixing it up a little bit. And you are right, it really does help when you hit a slow point in one, you can always fall back on something else to try to get you out of that feeling.

[Michelle]

I finished reading which I loved! I'm not sure what I'll be starting next, but I'm leaning towards historical romance.

[Megan]

I think I'm going through a reading slump right now. I'm only 50 pages into . I am still hoping to be able to finish it on Monday.

I know what you mean. A lot of people are in a reading funk right now. Maybe you're wore out from the excitement over getting your kindle, LOL!!!!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Good Megan. Then you can start on Wicked Intentions.

[Michelle]

I'm starting . I thought I wanted to read a historical romance novel, but I need just one more sci-fi romance first.

[Michelle]

Here I go again..... put a dent in my humongous tbr pile. I'm reading:
, and .

I figure if they're total opposites, I'll get through them both in no time at all.

I'm reading and .

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Carolyn F....I'm currently reading and am really enjoying the adventure.

[Carolyn F.]

It was really good Lisa. I'm liking Scoundrel so far, but I'm reading two books at the same time and the other is a little better.

I'm listening to and . I'm reading and .

[Megan]

I finally finished and was overall disappointed. However, I think I'm in the minority with that opinion. I will be starting my first March Challenge book

[Michelle]

I finished reading , which I loved. I'm going to focus on finishing , and also start .

[Zoe]

Finished and reading the last of my February challenge books, Not That Kind of Girl (Dog Walkers #3). Also listening to J.D. Robb's 'Naked in Death' on Audio. Having never read any of the 'in death' series, I am way behind, and not sure I'll read all of them, but WOW! The romance is okay - sex scenes on audio always make me giggle, but the mystery is FABULOUS. A little gorier than I like, but it's pretty darn good, I have to admit!

[Megan]

Just finished which was very good! I'm moving onto next

[Michelle]

I'm reading and .

I am currently reading and I am in a dilemma. I love to read before I go to bed and sleep, but it is giving me nightmares. Really, truly, nightmares. No joke. Very disturbing. (view spoiler)[The Grey Man freaked me out totally. (hide spoiler)] I tried it again during the daytime, but still had a day-mare after a nap. Because of this, I didn't read it before I went to bed last night. Sometimes I fall asleep with a book in my bed and, I’m sure I look like this: (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] But then that (view spoiler)[multi-eyed creature who was stroking himself freaked me out again.
[image error] (hide spoiler)]

I already bought the next in the series and downloaded the third from my library. I love Karen Marie Moning's writing style, it really flows, but I can't handle these nightmares. Maybe I need to sleep with a crucifix, Star of David, or a statue of Buddha…or all three.

[Megan]

Oh Lisa!! I'm so sorry it's giving you nightmares! Maybe you need to read KMM during the day and before naps/bed read a lighter/funnier book...?

(I understand why those creatures would freak you out! They are pretty freaky!)

[Kit★]

I started last night and really liking it so far :)

[Zoe]

Oh Kit, I loved that series!!! Follow through with it, because the last 2 books in the series are the best, and so worth it. James is a terrific author, but that bunch of books was her best work yet.

[Megan]

I finally finished and I think I'm the only one who didn't like it

I'll be starting next

I've read the first one Desperate Duchesses and also , which I read out of order lol since Isidore in the one I'm reading now is still waiting for her Duke to return... I have A Duke of Her Own in my TBR pile, but I'm missing the others, I'm hoping to find them soon :)

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Well, I found for 50 cents at the library today ang bought it. I am only in chapter 1, but I am liking it so far.

Good for you!!! Don't you just love those 50 cent books?

[Michelle]

I've started a new job so my reading time is suffering :(

[SmittenKitten]

Just finished , it was great, so I'm moving forward and now reading

[Megan]

I finished and just loved it! I'll be starting next

[Kit★]

Finished and really liked it, then I started right away, and loved it, loved it, loved it. Villiers is just so scrumptious.... Dunno what I'll be reading next yet.

[Michelle]

I finished reading . Now I'm off to finish , , and the . I have way too many books hanging over my head right now. I don't know how some of you do it!

[Michelle]

I must really be on a roll! I finished , which I loved. I can't remember who recommended it to me, but thank you very much :) I've placed on hold because it's the second book in the series, and I feel like I'm missing some background info on the main couple.

[Michelle]

I've started reading .

[Megan]

I finished which was okay. I'm going to move onto next

[Carolyn F.]

I'm reading .

[Kit★]

I decided to start reading . I'm about 40 pgs in so far.

[Kristi]

Seeing all these great titles is reinforcing my idea for April. I've been thinking that since April is the month of my anniversary that I'd treat myself. No group reads, no challenges, just a whole month of nothing but books I already have, new releases I've been waiting for, and nothing but books I really, really want to read. i.e Probably A LOT of romances. Lol.
What do you think?

[Megan]

I think that is a great idea Kristi! I'm thinking about taking off a month of challenges in the summer (maybe). Let me know if you feel "reading refreshed" the beginning of May? I am hoping that is how I will feel afer taking a month "off"

[Kristi]

That's my goal too!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

What am I currently reading? NOTHING! Nothing but Goodreads, Goodreads, Goodreads! Good gravy beans. I signed on a few hours ago to put in some books and I am still here!!! I was starting to listen to while I did so and soon I had to stop the sound as I wasn't paying attention. I was typing short sentence reviews, reading others' opinions, and trying to figure out which books I could use for challenges. I quit! I need to go eat something and listen to my phone messages. Goodreads is too addictive. LOL!

Ha ha! I've done that many times. I've even gone so far as to leave GR and realize I never did enter the books.

You've got the right idea! As much as doing a challenge motivates me to get through my books, sometimes I'm just not into them. Plus, whenever I see what everyone else is reading, I never stick to my challenge books anyway, LOL!

[Michelle]

Amazingly, I finished reading . It was a quick and easy read, but the hero and the heroine just irritated me. I'm not sure what I'm moving on to next.

[Michelle]

Nalini Sing's Psy-Changeling series is one of the many series that I'd like to catch up on. So, I've decided to start .

I'm addicted too, LOL! I know I spend more time on here reading about reading, than reading a book. Its an addiction, but a harmless one, so I'm okay with it.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

See, I'm still here! Pathetic! To be honest, I am reading an e-book on my PC. Trying to get my M.A.R.C.H. challenge done. LOL.

Uh huh, sure you are! It's okay. We've all been there. You don't have to make up reasons for us! Ha ha!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Okay, okay, Kristi. So, I am reading more GR than ebook. But it is not my fault b/c these e-mails keep popping up! LOL.

[Sandra J]

Right now I'm reading . I have two mysteries to finish, Slave to Sensation and Morrigan's Cross to start, and Obsidian Prey waiting on audio in the car. I'm reading a knitting book since my brain seems fried on fiction right now. I'll probably read Netted Beadwork: A Beadwork How-To Book next.
