I started
yesterday, so I have a carry over. lol
Eek! Already, I want to read the
all
, LOL! Finised
(got it late from the library) - started at midnight! Then started to listen to
. Almost done with
in PB and up next is
- which simple
everyone
says I must read!
I've just started
by Nora Roberts and am loving it!
I'm reading
by JoAnn Ross. I'm originally from south Louisiana so I tend to read books set there. However, this one is something else....I've never ridden in a pirogue and while I understand the way they're talking, it kind of makes Cajuns sound dumb, and I'm feeling very protective of my heritage LOL I'll reserve judgement until I finish the whole book.
CaroB wrote: "I've just started by Nora Roberts and am loving it!"I really enjoyed that book too!!
Just about to finish
. It's not overwhelming me with delight. lol
Wanted to let everyone know that
is FREE today only!
Meh! heheh I'm sure a million others'd disagree!
I hear ya! That's why I'm reluctant to read the next one.
I am not a fan of the series either, ladies....I feel like an outcast amongst romance readers, but there it is.
Yaay! Welcome Megan! Lets not like BDB together lol

Jyl22075 wrote: "I'm attempting to read 
but at 40% in I'm considering DNF-ing it. Does it get better?"Yeah, Jenny, I didn't finish on my first attempt either!
CaroB wrote: "I've just started by Nora Roberts and am loving it!"I loved that book!
Susan (susayq) wrote: "I'm reading by JoAnn Ross."I've never read anything by this author... I think I've heard of her though; I'll have to check her out.
Heather wrote: "Just about to finish . It's not overwhelming me with delight. lol"Yeah, I thought it was just all right.

the humor's killing me!"Oh, Midu! Something else for me to look into.
Laura wrote: "Wanted to let everyone know that is FREE today only!"It is? Where? Amazon?
~Megan~ wrote: "I am not a fan of the series either, ladies....I feel like an outcast amongst romance readers, but there it is."Nah!
Is it possible I've found a whole group of people who are not BDB fanatics???*in heaven*
I liked it better the second time. I did the book/audio comb to get through it, as well as a "buddy read". I did find myself interested in finding out about the rest of the BDB, which surprised me and they weren't pushing my buttons at the beginning.My biggest problems were the vernacular and the villain. Do they all have to sound like ZZ Top, or whoever is? And the villain - **blows raspberry** I just wanted to skip his sections. Not that I don’t like a good villain; he just didn’t hold my attention.
~Megan~ wrote: "Is it possible I've found a whole group of people who are not BDB fanatics???"Nope, sorry, I'm a BDB fan LOL While I haven't enjoyed every book (I'm talking about Phury's and honestly, the last one was kinda bleh as well), I do like the Brothers :)
Just finished
. It was pretty good but it felt like the "fighting" between the H/h went on way too long. I am now reading
and I love this series!

I never did follow-up with you on the last one. So it wasn't just me that was underwhelmed with it? lol
Finished
and ending picked up, but still not a great read. Picking up the new series by Nora Roberts,
.
Nope Heather, not just you. While I was pleased there were no lessers, I felt like she just recycled Butch and the sad thing is Manny doesn't even want to change and spend as long as he can with Payne. Kinda irritated me lol
I thought so too!!!!!!! Didn't do Manny and his story justice at all, IMO.

Sorry! Yes, Amazon.
Already figured it out; already downloaded it. Thanks, Laura!
I agree, Jenny; I think the second half was better, it picked up for me.
LK, where are we doing the buddy read thing? Wanted to invite Jyl22075 for it but can't locate the thread.
Thanks, LK! Well, Jyl22075? Would you like to join us for a buddy read of book 2?
Sure, let us know, using the link LK posted in #45.
I think a "buddy read" helps when you either really are struggling with a book. However, it is more fun when you really love a book, too!
LK, do you try a lot of new authors? Indie ones esp?
Not a lot. Why? I bet you do.
Yeah, I like that new authors can get readers to sample their work. I plan to be one someday. :-)
I'd love to be one too. Nobody likes my heroines though; too Mary Sue, LOL! Good luck to us both!!
hehehe hey we liked Rhapsody and she's one big chunk of Mary Sueness, right?
I like her; but, then, I like most heroines when others don't.
ooh watching Knight and Day! Loved the movie!
