I have seen so many great reviews on Dark Highlander Dee that I am excited to read it!! And def add The Witness to you TBR list....I absolutely loved it, my only complaint is that I wish the epilogue was more indepth....unfortunately that is true with a lot of author's though.
I have read
and fifty shades darker
. I cannot see how they can make a movie out of these books.

You right DOrsey,, I loved Chase. Better than the second book.

Ihave just finished Death Angel
and
. ON the 50 shades trilogy, my recommendation is not to read them one after another. I got kind of burned out on the last one. I am going to have to reread it later, before I can give an honest opinion.

I just finished Easy (love it, btw) and have started Thoughtless which has been a huge disappointment so far. I'm about 25 pages in and want to give up on it, the main character is not enjoyable and the writing is meh.

If not for the GR reviews, I would have never read it. Honestly, I thought it was fantastic! It was a quick read for me (3 hours/1 sitting) but was beautifully written. I can't wait to read her again in the future.
Side note warning: It does touch on sexual assault, but is tastefully done.
To add..I finised Thoughless last night. It sligtly redeamed itself, I'm contemplating reading "effortless", the sequel to it. It has, somewhat suprisingly, earned high reviews from GR Nation.
Until then, I will be starting either
or
tonight. I got a huge shipment of books in from Amazon last week and have been plowing through them. I <3 Amazon.
Just finished Beautiful Disasterlast night and started Mine to Hold.I rea the reviews on Beautiful Disaster after I already ordered it...some angry GR readers out there! Based off the reviews, I was expecting the book to be a lot worse than it was. I would almost equate it to Twilight, and the obsession between B and E. It wasn't a great book by any means, Easy was so much better with a similar theme.
Started Mine to Hold...I'm disappointed so far. I'll keep reading it as it *might* have some promise, but I'm not expecting a great literary accomplishment.
Just finished Mine to Hold, I'd recommend a big, fat PASS on this one if anyone is considering it. Ugh. Just placed another order for 10 books off Amazon, waiting for the shipment.Until then I will be re-reading some of my favorites.
Shipment includes:
On the Island, Rock Me,Backstage Pass,Crash,Effortless,Hearts in Darkness and a few others.
I realize I update this with each new book, but I like getting ideas of future reads off these lists :)
I`m finally getting around to the last 3 books of the Black Dagger Brothers.I loved the story of Payne and her new life,This is one very,very good book.The other two are good too.I think they are the best of all of them-for one reason the story kept to who it was supposed to feature,tho she did sneak in a little about the Basterd gang and their plans to take over-killing all but Vamps(starting with Wrath)
Getting ready to start
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot for our libraries book club
I have just finished reading Wrong bed, Right guy by Katee Robert. Still deciding what to read next.... : )
DanaI just finished the last 3 books and they are super good,I think I liked them as well or better than the first ones,which I also really like.
Hey... my first post I think....:)I like to buy Linda Howard books as audiobooks and listen to them on my iPod (only way to get anything done around the house;)... I just finished
and it was fabulous, hot, steamy and funny. Now I'm listening to
and it is just as good as Mr. Perfect....:)

Both of these are great in audio Ame I listen to books on my iPod too. Open Season has two available abridged and unabridged....I have both because when first purchased it the abridged version was the only one offered.....I love having the complete version but I love the narriator on the shortened version best.
I have all of LH audio books and all have excellent narriator's.

I just finished Golden Chance
. It was about a woman, Philadelphia Fox, who inherits a controlling shares of Lightfoot Industries, from her best friend, Chrissy Masters. Chrissy was the illegimate daughter of one of the Lightfoot/Castletons. Of course, she was considered an outsider. Now the family has sent Nick Lightfoot to get them back. It was a slow start, but I really ended up liking it. I gave the book a 3.5-3.75. I was glad that it wasn't another psychic book like Jayne Anne Krentz is noted for.I also read Sweet Talk by Julie Garwood.
It was better than a lot of her later modern books, but not nearly as good as her historicals. I gave it a 3I'm also did a buddy read on the Gift
, and I love the book. I found it really hilarous. I would give this one a 4I am starting a buddy read on Honors splendour
I just finished
, I totally don't get the hype/flood of 5 star reviews. Horrible editing! I also finished
last week...also not my favorite Kristen Ashley book. Looking forward to Raide, the next in the Unfinished Heroes Series. I would like to start
as I jumped in in the middle of the series.

I have not been able to get through Beautiful Sacrifice. I am on chapter 10 (I think) and am bored with it. I am now reading
what good books!

So fun to get lost in other worlds...<3

LOL...That would be neat except I would get confused, knowing me!! I am one of those readers that can only do one book st a time :D
I just finished Dream Man by LH,
Midnight in Death
and Conspiracy in Death both by Jd Robb,
I also finished Discovery of withches by Deborah Harkness
..I am starting on Dark Storm by Christine Feehan
and Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness
Dee,Are these two Harkness books really good or just so so ?
I loved Discovery of Witches. Because of the length of the book it took me forever to approach it, but once I started into it I really loved it. Harkness really keeps things moving, and when she gets into DNA stuff she explains it so the layman can understand it. I read it in a couple of days. I haven't gotten into Shadow of Night enough to tell you, but so far it is good.
Having read all of the Black Dagger Brotherhood and the Immortal After Dark books, I was looking for another paranormal series to read. I started reading a few and the two that I really like and going through them pretty quickly are The Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon and The Psy-Changeling series by Nalini Singh.

Love Cat and Bones, I'm on the last book in the series. Actually second to last because I'm reading the Night Huntress World. Can't wait to get to Once Burned and read Vald's story. I really like the spin off books they're really good.

My favorite genre is Ghosts and all I have been reading lately .I just finished a 5 star.This a super book,about a mountain that is populated with Ghosts,in this book the Ghosts of an evil guy that likes to hurt people.He fouled up,and beat his new wife so bad he almost killed her...she got even tho,she waited till he was drunk and chopped his head off with an ax,and left
But she was pregnant with his kid-a girl baby, and so was one of his women still back on the mountain-a boy baby.
So these two kids meet and fall in love in collage(she gets pregnant by him,but does a self abortion) but were in a car wreck and he was killed.
Lke most of the reviews I`ve read I too think it`s one of the best books I`ve ever read

Christine Feehan's Dark Carpathian series is another that I went through really quickly. I wish I'd slowed down with it because now it takes forever and a half for a new book to come out.
