I am on book 2 of the L.A. Banks Vampire Huntress series and the J. R. Ward Brotherhood series.
I just finished book 7 (I believe) in the Nappily Series by Trisha R. Thomas. I'm in the midst of listening to a non-AA series right now. James Patterson Women's Murder Club series.
I read the Vampire Huntress series for a while they are really good. I have to go back and look to see which book I stopped with on that one. Read the first in the Women's Murder Club series a long time ago and I think I have the 2nd book on my kindle. Starting the New Day Divas series by E.N. Joy. I do not know about you all, but every now and then I get in a reading rut where I need another book to read to kind of jumpstart my reading. Since joining Goodreads I have not been like that because there are so many recommendations and people to discuss books.
I have to switch up genres to keep my reading flow going. I can't read too many of the same type of book in a row, I'll burn out!

I didnt know a book went to number 7 in a series. deep.
They can go higher than that, look at Janet Evanovich's female bounty hunter series and lots of James Patterson books are series in high numbers.
Wahida Clark's Thug Series... It's pretty good so far. I'm reading book#4.

@Natasha, how did you like book #7? It was my least favorite in the series. It just felt like Venus totally stepped out of character.
@ Sharell, I have some books in the series but not in order so, I haven't read any of them yet. I'm trying to acquire them from PBS. It's a slow process. If there will be or are more than 3 books in a series I won't read it/them.

I just felt there could have been more to the story before getting to the end. Venus did seem a bit more tame but I just looked at it because of the cameras all around and having newborns. Lol, I'm writing this like I'm talking about a real person...

yep. I've been trying to get rid of all my physical books. I still have a lot, but have gotten rid of about 30 since I've been on pbs.I also get a lot of books that I don't want to pay the actually price for, like a lot of the kimani press new releases, and just older books that I've never read that are apart of series.
Its been a good experience so far.

Thanks Kimberley, I'll have to check them out =)!@Arzella, thanks I couldn't remember the name of her series and was too lazy to look it up lol!

I have read some of the Evanovich Stephanie Plum series and I really like them too. Have not read any by J.D. Robb.

When I began, I didn't do stipulations like ( no library, soiled, ripped, pet haired books and w/Dust Jackets). I still have people who send me their crummy books anyway and that's annoying but overall a good experience. I collect AA books and cover them to make a Library for Family. I live in CA and it's extremely difficult to get AA books of any kind w/out driving very very far. There's Amazon but only the current novels are available 2000 - now. That's one of the reasons I got a kindle because Authors were making their old catalog of books available.
Thanks Tia, I'm going to make an account and check it out =)
Okay, made a profile but haven't added books yet. My nickname on the site is ahsatan82
You all have me thinking of getting an account on PBS. I have lots of books that I need to do something with them.

You are in for a ride with it. One second you will laugh and the next you will be cursing like a sailor!!! LOL!!
Tia wrote: "@Kimberley & Natasha, I am Sunflower38"we're already friends...lol
Thanks Kimberley! I can't wait to add more books, I added one audio and I already need to send it out! So I have no books up now lol
make sure you add at least 10 because they then give you 3 free credits to order books from other people.
I read that, well it said 2 credits now.. Do I need to add 10 at once or just when I have added 10?

I can't do bookswapping by mail, I am extremely particular about my books, I have to be able to look at them and touch them. I own a Nook, but I am a book person, and have purchased books at a 2nd hand book store but I have to pick them out, if they are too icky, I pass on it...
