RLftCI: Currently reading 2012
I finished
I liked it but it was a light,fluffy, cheesy, not very well written,paranormal romance. By no means did I find it a "how to guide" to anything LOL. I am still wondering what significance the title has to the book. It had repetitive aspects to it like the term "God's Blood" which drove me crazy when it appeared in every few sentences. Most all of the characters were likable except Shanna, she was a bit whiney,crying all the time, and was a "God's Blood" dentist who had a blood phobia. Overall the plot had it's highs and lows, was full of highlanders and it had a few humorous moments. Giving it 3 stars mainly because I liked several of the characters.
I finished reading
and it was painful. I'll link here when I've finished writing the review. Started an old book to take my mind of the new ones:
@Jenny & Elishia - I finished
and the title doesn't even begin to cover it. Holy crapola!! I highly recommend - I gave it 5 stars! I can't believe the boundaries she pushed, and the twists and turns in the plot. I didn't see half of it coming. Love it! What a ride!!

Jenny I felt the same way when I read it. I kept thinking that if everyone L.O.V.E.D. it then there must be a reason. I just couldn't find it!

I needed an audiobook to be able to do "the thing" I have to do at work so I started
from the library!
I need to fit one of these in this month.
Elishia wrote: "I need to fit one of these in this month."you won't be disappointed ! have you read any of them?
@Elishia & Jenny - Hope you like it! :)
@shosho - I have some of the In Death books, but haven't started reading them yet. I keep hearing such great things about it. So great, in fact, I just recommended the series to my boss (who picked up Fifty Shades of Grey unaware of the content). *snicker* I think she turned 50 shades of red when I told her what it was about!! And then I recommended this series instead. Now I need to get reading them.
I love the in Death books! I read one a month, and need to get to this month's book.

That's what I should do! One a month won't seem like too much. It's a plan!

Oooo...the Night Huntress books are good. I took a break from the series, but am excited to get back to them.

I just read
as a freebie on Amazon. Eh...it was okay. Good writing, but slow even for a novelette. I think I expected something faster paced. When I got to the end, it made sense why it wasn't: It's book one of a series (kinda like a length prologue), so basically wordbuilding weighed it down.

Glad I could help you out, Kyra! :)Carrie, I started the Night Huntress books last month and am ready to start book 5. I've really enjoyed them and I LOVE Bones!
*look at #1271* Hey...that's what I can put for my review. ;) I think I just found a new approach to review-writing. LOL

I copy/pasted for my review! ;) So, it's settled. If I don't know what to write for a review, I'll just tell my book buddies what I thought, and copy/paste that. Apparently, the pressure's off that way. *snicker*

@ Kyra and Susan: Bones really reminds me of Spike from BtVS. I've always loved Spike and Buffy was/is my favorite show. So me and this book are going to get along just fine. :)
@Kyra :) I love that idea.@Carrie I've never watched Buffy. I'm not much of a tv watcher, never have been. Cat can be a little aggravating, so can her mother, but Bones more than makes up for it ;)

Lol, thanks for the heads up.

The sex scenes in the first one are pretty hot , is your boss OK with that?:D
The In Death books are so so SO good on audio. I can't read them anymore...it just doesn't feel the same.
I read the first but listened to the second , I'll be listening to the next one as well

Agreed!! That's who I always picture as Bones, too. Love it!

I've never made it through a whole audio book. Maybe I should try it with this series.

Kyra, I don't really care for audiobooks, but this series in audio is amazing :)
I just finished
...truly phenomenal!
I'm reading
and I have to say that I just love it when authors bring in the members of the family that were the main characters in the previous books.
I read
in one sitting today. I'm still dazed, I really need an epilogue but OMG it was great!
So I bought my second ever audiobook today. The first one was such a humungous disaster that I thought I was cured of it, but in all honesty, as much as I like the In Death series books I've read so far, I just can't seem to get into it with gusto... So I'm bowing to the experience of those here who have suggested that the Audio version of these books is worth a try. Will keep you all posted on how I go with it.

Same here. I really enjoyed this one.
Doing a re-read of
God, I love this book!
I've never heard of this series it sounds good.

Awesomesauce, CaroB! Keep us posted.
I have had
on my radar for quite awhile now.
