Hey, Midu! I was invited to this group, but I'm not sure I'll join yet or not; but, it is right up your alley: Unknown Books? Let's Read Them.

I'm currently listening to
, my first Diana Palmer. Other than that, non fic and sci fi. You see (hangs head in shame) my New Years resolution is to read at leas 2 books I own before buying new or getting something from the library. I have lots of books that need to be read (and only about a third are romance). That said, I'm really enjoying the 900+ page biography of the Queen Mum that I'm reading, just won;t be finishing it any time soon... :)
Zoe, I've resolved not to buy any new books till at least my birthday in March. I have MORE than enough to keep me busy until then LOLI'm reading
. I had forgotten how much I love this series. I may just finish the whole thing one after the other ;)
I wish I did too, Heather LOL I've already ammended the resolution to state that if I could find
or
I'd buy them since they're the ones I need for those series and I want to read them soon ROFLOL
I love the resolutions ladies! I had the same thought last year about needing to read more of the books I already own before buying new ones. I came across this challenge in the SOS group, which I'm hoping will help my resolve, or at least make it interesting to see how well I do on it. Anyone else wanna try it with me?
CaroB, I'm going to have to join that group just so I can do that challenge! Thanks for the link. maybe it will help my resolve ;) LOL
It's a great challenge, but I don't do urban fantasy or paranormal (I know I'm in the minority here). I did add a 'Read-Books I Own' shelf to my shelves just so I can keep track.

I started
this weekend, but I haven't fallen into it yet. Will have to put it aside once I start
in the morning.
well 5 stars for both of those are very encouraging! I may have to look into them sooner rather than later LOL
Oh, that sounds right up my alley, Jenny, since I like mysteries with a touch of romance. I'll just have to be in that frame of mind. Gheeze, have I read anythink by Julie Anne Long? The name sounds familiar.
I'm so jealous of all of you that have these books I want to read at their library. Our library stinks.
Just finished
and it was very good. Loved the characters and the story but it did get a little wordy as the H/h with their emotions. But overall worth it!Now I'm starting
and I hope it's as good as her other books.
Finished
a few days ago. A little more than half way done with
. Really liked the first book in the series and enjoying this one too through not sure I'm convinced that you would want to jump someone when you're in the throes of a raging fever. Hmmm....Also started
. Been waiting for this book for a while because I so enjoyed the previous two in the series. I think Grace Burrowes' writing is so real. She's so good at turning phrases and putting the emotions down on paper.

I loved Nine Rules to Break. I recommended it to a colleague and she just loved it too. Hope you enjoy it.

I really enjoyed the book, almost as much as I enjoyed Water Bound. Christine Feehan is a bit hit or miss for me. I really enjoyed a few of her Carpathian books and found her leopard shifter books kind of hard to get into (and I love cat shifters). I haven't been able to get into her Drake sisters books either although I plan to give them another try. So these two books really surprised me. I'm looking forward to the next one.
Taita, have you read the other books in the Pink Carnation series? I have the first one and just have never gotten around to it.I was in the mood for a mystery, so I'm reading
I've had tons going on here for the last few days so it's been slow going with reading. Hopefully with it being the weekend, I'll have more reading time.For anyone who's interested, on Saturday, we're starting a buddy read of
over at RRRC Come join if you'd like :)

This is the first Pink Carnation book I've read. It was a "clean" romance (aka no sex scenes). Still, I really enjoyed it because it made me laugh so hard. I'm thinking of reading the others in the series later this year. Let me know if you'd be interested in in doing a Buddy Read!
Finished
. It's one of my new favorites!Still working on
.Planning to join Susan and others on RRRC for
buddy read. Loved that book!Also going to try and start on
for new book club.
Just finished
.Now I want the comfort and joy that only the sweet natured Eve and Roarke bring me (please read the sarcasm here), so I'm going to tackle

Susan (susayq) and Lisa Kay... Would love to do a Buddy Read of
. Shall we start Feb 1st? I need to finish up some books on my list for this month. Anyone else interested?
Posted the "buddy read" for
here
! I'll put it on the "BR" Calendar too! As soon and Susan confirms the date is okay.
that date is okee dokee with me :DI just finished
and absolutely LOVED it! I'm looking forward to the others in the series. I'm starting
later this evening.
I loved Anna and the French Kiss too, Jenny. Just finished her next book in the series this month and loved it too! Her writing just sucks you in and makes you think that she was writing from your high school experience. Good or bad. lol
Just finished Reunion in Death and loved it. What Eve and Roarke went through just about broke my heart. Moved on to Purity in Death because I just can't get enough of those two.
Also trying to get into Enchanted, Inc. but too wrapped in the In Death series.
Do I even want to ask what happens in Reunion? I'm sitting here giggling over Eve's reaction to having to buy a wedding dress while I read Immortal in Death
