[Gigi, Moderator]

Hi!!!!! Well, here we are again. The start of a new month. So, I can't believe I finished 4 books this month. Hopefully, my reading-funk is starting to end. There were 2 books that were my best reads this month and . I didn't read anything that I would consider bad. What about you? What was your best and worst book this month?

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Yes, Gigi! was good. I'll have to check out your other one.

So far, I’m a bit behind, with 28 books so far. I wanted to do a book a day. I actually started Clockwork Angel in February, but finished it in March.

Hey I'm reading too Lisa!

My favorites for this month are , liked it more than her contemporary books.

, if you like sci-fi, you'll like this book.

Also loved , every book in this and the Mercy series reminds me why she's one of my top 5 favorite authors.

and , there hasn't been one book that I didn't love from this author.

, loved tortured hero books and this author knows how to write them.

, terrible cover, great book.

, I've got a thing for gargoyle books.

, lower reviews from others helped. Came in with low expectations and loved it.

, I've read this authors sci-fi romance books and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this one too.

Gosh, I can't believe all the 5 stars I threw out there this month! But each book deserved it.

Best books (in no particular order):



The worst:
This was a very disappointing read for me. I thought the book had a lot of potential but it quickly devolved into:

Garrett: "She's my wife"

Tristan: "No, she's my wife"

Sophie: "Boys, boys! Let's calm down and settle this like adults. I can't choose between you. I love you both. But while this is settled I'm still sleeping with Tristan. And maybe Garett.Maybe both at the same time?"

I hate love triangles... However, Night in Eden had a triangle that was very well done. The heroine knew who she wanted. I think that was what made the difference.

There were also a few enjoyable reads but not so memorable that I can remember them now. All in all I had a pretty good reading month.

Gisela, I'm so glad you loved ! It was one of my favorite reads for 2011.

Ugh on the ♥ triangles.

If you're interested Gisela, Tor has a prequel for Cinder at this website. It's short.

Really! Thanks, Megan! LOL!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Okay, checked them out. Looks like I'll be reading the Jane Jameson series. Thanks, ladies. ☺

[Heather]

Love them, Lisa Kay. You won't be sorry. =)

[~Megan~]

Do yourself a favor and go with the audiobooks for the Jane series. They are amazingly hilarious!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Okay, Megan, thanks! (I only have two audiobooks left for my Gold Membership... to last me 9 months, LOL!)

[Heather]

Oh dear, because I'm with Megan. They NEED to be read on audiobook. Too bad I can't lend my out to you.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Yeah, Heather. That would be nice. ☺ I'll probably re-up my Gold Membership, LOL! Aren't I bad? I should check the library first, and be good.

Thanks Lisa Kay! It was! Let me know what you think of Perfect Chemistry.

Wow, I have a lot of books to add. I just added Cinder, Masque of the Black Tulip, And One Last Thing, Texas Rain, Bone Deep, Hearing Heart, purchased Sweet Gum Tree, Rainshadow Road and Heaven and Hell. LOL! Wow!!! LOL

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Oh, yes, Judy, Kate Reading does a great job on the Pink Carnation audiobooks. Sorry you didn't like . I think that one was perfect for a "buddy read" - because of the pace. I can see how you would think it was slow in parts.
