I signed up for netGalley month, so I guess I'll choose one of those. Though I have bought a ton of books from all the recent sales...
That's on my TBR list, Jyl22075. I've liked the other stuff I've read by her before.I got a Kindle for Christmas and have loaded it with some wonderful books to read. I think my first read for the new year will be
. It's part of my reading for the January challenge here.Lisa Kay, you never said what your first read will be :)
I have
lined up for the first day. I've been looking forward to it for awhile, but I wanted to save it for the Reporter Challenge. I may just hide in bed and read it straight though, LOL! I also want to go onto book #2 in the Braxton series,
. I have
lined up for January, as RRRC groups has that author in the FAC.
I went to check out the audio of
today and there is a waitlist. Drat! I keep forgetting how popular this series is.Going to try
instead as, believe it or not, I've never read that author.
I want to read book #2 in the Braxton series too. I LOVED #1! I have the Maya Banks highlander series on my nightstand. And of course, the Molly Harper is on my TBR LOLI've never read anything by Marie Force and I have #2 in the In Death series for January.
Geez, do I sound like I have a reading problem? My girls were picking at me yesterday when I unwrapped the Kindle and a set of books ROFLOL
I see no problems, Susan! LOLI enjoyed the first in Marie Force's Fatal series (a bit like the In Death series but with a more likeable heroine from the start as it took me a little while to warm up to Eve). Also, there was a book on Kindle for free yesterday by her that I downloaded
I've never read anything by Marie Force b/f either. Is that series good, Heather?Is this a new Kindle (as in you had one b/f?), Susan? Did you get the Kindle Fire?
Oh Lisa Kay, you have a treat in store with Judith Ivory!netGalley month is run by a blog called Red House books, IIRC -- you just read as many netGalley books as you can in January and post about them there. I think there may be prizes, though I don't remember for sure.

It's a bit more true-to-life, Lisa Kay. It was a bit too predictable, but I still enjoyed it and want to read on. I loved Nick, a sweet, caring hero. And Sam was a realistic heroine that I really cared about.

Lisa Kay, this is a new Kindle as in I have the app on my iPhone and now I have a kindle LOL I petted it and loved on it and named it Braxton after Harry Braxton since he was the hero of the first book I read on it :DAs for the cover of the book I chose...he was the whole reason I chose that book in the first place lol
FOFLMAO! Oh, you're killing me, Susan! Wonderful that you named you new plaything Braxton from
!! LOL!
My first read of this year was
, a ya sort of paranormal kinda story about a kid who ventures into the New York Underworld (like the Underworld of mythology, where the spirits of the dead go). I bought it last year right around New Years '11, and when I was lookin' through my TBR round New Years '12 I guess it sorta just said, 'hey, read me', no real thought or pre-planning went into it. It was a good book, I'm glad I read it :)
You are so right about this cover!! I just FINALLY read this book and it was AWESOME!Lisa Kay wrote: "Jyl22075 wrote: "I think
