Lisa, I found it last night on my Android, just did a search in the Droid marketplace! Thanks for your help! Looks like a fun app!
Last night I started reading
, and it just really isn't my kind of romance. That said, I've loved every of novel I've read by Lora Leigh.
I've gotten so I avoid Target as much as possible bc of their awesome book collection. I'm almost guaranteed to walk out of there with a book. It's just sick.
Ugh! It's doesn't even take Target. I'm a sick, sick puppy! I have 3 books that are author-requested reviews, so I have plenty on my plate, and what do I do? I buy another! Summer Rental.Anyways, currently reading:
The Timeless Counselor: The Best Guide to a Successful Psychic Reading
June has been a BAD reading month for me, with barely anything getting finished. Been either too busy or too sick or watching too much DVR'ed TV (there's a reason I resisted DVR for so long and this is why. LOL). I've only finished 7 books so far this month and I usually read twice that in a month.But I do have several going at present:
Print:
Cassie Palmer Book 1: Hunt the Moon by Karen Chance
Bath Room Book 1 - Once Upon a Kiss by Nora Roberts, Jill Gregory, Ruth Ryan Langan, and Marianne Willman
Bath Room Book 2 - Spellbound: Anything’s Possible by Judith McWilliams
Bath Room Book 3 - In a Fairy Tale World Book 5: Nighttime Sweethearts by Cara Colter
eBook:

Other Randoms I go back and forth on when I want to in various formats:
Dreg City Book 1: Three Days to Dead by Kelly Meding (eBook)
Dark Days Book 1: Nightwalker by Jocelynn Drake (audio)
I'm reading
in paperback, and
in ebook, and listening to
I finished reading
, which I really enjoyed. My plan now is to finish up
, and perhaps start another PNR.
Just started
and also setting myself up to re-read the epic

I just said to myself, "I wonder if this would make a good buddy read or something!" Are you in my head?! I should be getting it from the library soon.

mwahahaha! Jinx! I am in your head Michelle! Or you're in mine... it's a bit crowded in here though, with all the other personalities :-p
I was thinking this would make a good buddy read also, it would be fantasmagorical to see what other people think of it as it progresses and how that changes by re-read or first-read... It would be a re-read for me but I don't think I'll ever get tired of Outlander. It's just about timing, but if we could chunk it up well so it didn't get too overwhelming or drag on too long, 'twould be perfect!
So.... anyone else keen for a buddy read on this one? I have it as an ebook, so happy to start whenever!

You are too funny!
Just let me know when you want to start. The library opens in an hour here, and now that I've got it in my head, I have to have it! But, I can wait start it once I have it under my roof, LOL! Now, I'm wondering if I want to get the audiobook, or just read it.
✿Michelle✿ wrote: "CaroB wrote: "✿Michelle✿ wrote: "CaroB wrote: "Just started and also setting myself up to re-read the epic "AAAAGH! I was just..."
oooh, that's a tough one Michelle. I guess it would depend on how well the Scottish accent gets done. Otherwise it might just end up being annoying. Do ye ken, lass?
CaroB wrote: "✿Michelle✿ wrote: "CaroB wrote: "✿Michelle✿ wrote: "CaroB wrote: "Just started and also setting myself up to re-read the epic "AA..."
LMAO!!! I ken! I ken! I started laughing so hard that my dogs went crazy! Between Kresley Cole's IAD series, and Outlander, I think I have reading the scottish accent down. But you're right, if its narrator uses an accent, it better done well.
If anyone would like to read, or re-read
, you might be interested in http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/5.... I've already read it once myself, but I'd like to re-read it with a small group, and discuss it along the way. Happy 4th of July!
Michelle, the above link wasn't working for some reason.
CaroB wrote: "Michelle, the above link wasn't working for some reason."Uh oh! Thanks for letting me know. Unfortuantely, I'm not sure how to fix it, but I'm working on it :)
Hey guys- sorry I've been down and out- just got back from vacation and I'm still reading
and after I finish that I will be starting
Michelle, of COURSE, you are re-reading Outlander. ;o) I would join you, but after catching up on my "new releases" that I haven't read yet I plan on reading A Game of Thrones
Megan wrote: "Hey guys- sorry I've been down and out- just got back from vacation and I'm still reading and after I finish that I will be starting [bookcover:Midnight|69..."No need to apologize! I'm currently on a "stay-cation" myself. Yeah, I've decided to give the audio of Outlander a try. I figured it won't take me half as long to listen as it did to read the actual book.
Yeah, ✿Michelle✿, if you walk around with headphones strapped to your ears! LOL! I forgot how many hours it is... **runs off to check**
Just out of curiousity, where's a good site to get some audio books cheap? My library has less than 50 titles (2 of those are romance, mostly biographies) available and I'd like to give it a try... Any recommendations?
Lisa Kay wrote: "First book: 32.5 hours. "Geez! I don't know what I was thinking. I guess I could look at it like having a second job for a week or so. My commute to work is about 15 minutes now, so getting "reading" done to and from work won't put much of a dent in it. Hmmm.... I guess the bulk of the listening can be done in the evenings after work if I sacrifice my Frasier and Golden Girls reruns, LOL!

and finding it easy to read but boring. Not sure if that makes sense...

Having no experience with audio before, I was expecting to pay at the very most $10, so I was shocked to see how expensive they were.
Yeah, Kit★, they are pretty expensive. Maybe a lending group that works like NetFlix might be better.
I'm about to start
because I've actually never read it before, somehow missed this one when I got all the other Bridgertons. I know it'll be good :)
For free Audio books, have you tried Libravox? I think that's how it's spelled. I learned about it through one of my knitting podcasts - CraftLit - which is actually only a couple minutes of the host chatting about knitting, spinning, etc, then she launched into 50 or so minutes of a libravox recording of a book (usually classics - P&P, Wilkie Collins, Dickens). Also, my library is starting to offer more audio books than ever - talk to your librarian about interlibrary loans (getting audios from other libraries) or how to request an audio version of a book. There's not much romance on audio in my library - which is fine, because hearing the naughty bits read out loud STILL makes me giggle - but Amanda Quick, Nora, Lisa Kleypas - they have some of each of those.

I've been going through the catalogue at Librivox and there are plenty of titles there.

I am in love with this series! :)Greens

I've never listened to an audio romance, but yeah I think I'd be a touch uncomfortable listening to that while driving. And imagine if it's nice weather and your windows are down?

And have any of you checked out the Audio group here on Goodreads? You don't have to join to read some of their discussions - these people are SERIOUS about their Audio books - there's a topic about what listening devices you use and where to get free audio - I think the only word I understood in there was "MP3 player" and after that I got lost, but for some of you who are more technical minded, it's worth a stop!
Also, I need to update more! Currently listening to
and reading
but after that I think it's going to be How to Knit a Love Story by Rachel Herron (a ridiculously popular book that I had to purchase because my library isn't crazy about new authors).
Finished
. Another good book by JQ, though probably not my favorite of them all. But it was good, and cute and funny. Pretty much just what I was expecting :)
Going to start reading
. Never heard of this author before, so hoping it'll be a good book.
Just started
. I hope it lives up to it's hype.
CaroB wrote: "Just started . I hope it lives up to it's hype."I looked for that one in the bookstore yesterday, but I could re-call the author. Looks really good.
Finished
and it was ok. I'll most likely look for more by that author. Next up I'm going to read
.
Lisa Kay wrote: "I looked for that one in the bookstore yesterday, but I could re-call the author. Looks really good."It's got the backing of Jane from Dear Author and Sarah from Smart Bitches Trashy Books blogs. Both have gone on about how it's a really great contemporary and within the first few pages I've found myself thinking "Oh no... maybe I'm expecting too much now."
I'll let you know how it goes. I have it on ebook if you like.
Kit★ wrote: "Finished and it was ok. I'll most likely look for more by that author. Next up I'm going to read ."I have The Lost Duke on my TBR pile, Kit★. I love JQ and I think I'm in a historical-romance mood at the moment, so might have to move that one further up the list. Would love to hear what you think when you're done.
