Melindeeloo’s comments from the Read, Reading, Planning to Read and More group.

I was looking for more light and short and came across this multi author collaboration of short slow burn romances I think there are 11. And all are KU. All the titles start with "Bewitched by" and there are some goofy ones like the pumpkin queen, the fruit bat king, the headless horseman and some more normal sounding like siren, were wolf and wicked witch. I started with Bewitched by the Djinn

I just finished reading the Scared Sexy as separate KU freebies ( free audio is included) The best of the six was Hot for Slayer I am neither normally pro or con Ali Hazelwood , but she did the best job of telling a complete story in the small space and though I am no longer a vampire romance fan the vampire aspects didn't overwhelm the story of the vampire and the slayer who has been hunting her for hundreds of years, until the slayer ends up with amnesia.
JT Geissinger's Spicy Little Curses was a bit better than the rest since the ink and curses set in New Orleans premise appealed to me, it would have made a good longer story, it was too short to quite get the job done.
The rest of the stories were mostly ok or ok minus. - it's hard to fit too much smexy stuff into a short story.

She said the new pen name is so new readers don't get intimidated..."

That sounds really interesting.

I did the whole series relisten of the original audios when the first GA hidden legacy came out. (Made me want Arabella's book even more)

Sorry your hubby is having trouble, hope things improve for him.

I finished the first two of the Nora Roberts Lost Brides books. I've been enjoying them - and I am envious of those of you who got ARCs for the last book. Fortunately, with how fast this year is flying by, November will be here in mere moments;)

That's my favorite one too. It's just so touching that he ends up with a big crazy family after being so alone.

Happy bday Kristi and many more:)

I am reading this too right now. I am on book 3 I think (the one with the trains ) I haven't really done any gaming so I thought I might be put off by the LitRPG aspect, but the reward parts are actually pretty funny.

I just finished a fun audioDragon Heist
A washed up voice actress ends up the representative for a misfit dragon in a alternate world where dragons have taken over. The dragon has a plan to pull a heist to embarrass a powerful clan to show that humans can stand up to dragons but he needs a very specific "crew" to succeed: a fighter, an archer, a giant and a mage.

Collecting the crew was entertaining and the questlike nature if the heist was too.


Not sure if it is on audible plus, but it is KU.

It is the first book of a trilogy so I expect a cliffhang..."
Ah, i didn't notice that the second book was out already. And with how fast this year is zooming by, November and the 3rd book is just a blink away.

Yikes I just saw this! The Black Dagger Brotherhood: 20th Anniversary Insider's Guide out in December.

Can't believe it's been 20 years.

I finished all of the Urban Shaman books that are in Kindle Unlimited so far. Looks like the last ones will be released to KU over the rest of the year, so I guess I'm done for now. I thought that they were definitely worth revisiting the series. I didn't remember a much of the plots but did have a sense of who the bad guys were once they turned up in the stories.

Now i need something else to keep me entertained.

Inheritance does sound good, but I see cliffhanger in the reviews. You all have to let us know how bad a cliffhanger.

I am on to the 5th urban shaman book. I am also not reading much lately, but am still enjoying the reread.

I made it through the first 3, urban shaman books. They're pretty good. This third book I finally remembered where they plot was going - the others not so much.

Did anybody get to watch Murderbot Diaries? I don't have appleTV or I would have:(

If you have prime, Gena Showalter has a book in the first reads freebies. Kingdom of Tomorrow I haven't read her in years but thought I'd give it a try.

I am enjoying the 1st Urban shaman book so far. Not to far in and I really don't remember where it is going though some if the side characters are familiar. And more familiar than the MC like Doug said.

Swordheart
Clocktaur War books 1 and 2."

I enjoyed those too:)

I haven't been doing a good job of managing my currently reading shelf here on goodreads. I had 45 books on it this morning - most of them abandoned- I dnf a lot these days, I really have a narrow sweet spot it seems

I love oracle's moon too! It was one of the few books I reread when I didn't do rereads. Now I'm finding that it's been long enough that I can reread stuff from the early PNR and UF days and it's like reading them for they first time ;) I was thinking of trying to reread the Urban Shaman books - don't remember anything about the series except the cabdriver (?) Gary.

It's kind of neat that some of the older stuff is KU now.
