I won a backet with 4 of her books today!! I went to a Romance Readers Luncheon today. I had a great time. I won two gift backets full of books and fun stuff.

How much are we reading per day?

I think there's five sections to the audio. Do you want to do one a day? I don't know how many chapters that would be. It would be about 20% on a Kindle/Nook if someone wants to read with us.

One section is fine.

This weekend was so busy I didn't get to read at all! These are some of the books I won Southern Charm A Novel by Tinsley Mortimer The Grand Finale by Janet Evanovich Love Overboard by Janet Evanovich Smitten by Janet Evanovich Full Scoop (Max Holt #6) by Janet Evanovich Aphrodite in Jeans Adventure Tales About Men, Midlife And Motherhood by Katherine Shirek Doughtie

The narrator on this audio is the same as in the First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson, #1) by Darynda Jones . I like the narrator but I am finding myself comparing the two stories and that is like comparing apples to oranges. I like Lizzy and Deisel sounds yummy. Glow is interesting.

I love Glow! She's hilarious!

So far I like it. I like the narrator, too. She's pretty funny. Deisel...yum :)

Lol! I've been laughing through most of the book so far. I'm definitely going to have to read more by her.

I heard she was funny. Have you read Kerrelyn Sparks?How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire

It is a funny paranormal romance. I loved the whole series.

I haven't read it but I hear it was good.

You need to read it :)

So, not too much to say about the book right now. The relationship between Diesel and Wolf is interesting I think. I really like the characters and the banter between Lizzy and Diesel. Though at times I think Lizzy seems a little immature for 28 (I think that's how old she was).

I went ahead and listened to tomorrow's because I probably won't have time tomorrow. The relics that they are looking for are interesting. Looking forward to see where it goes.

I put myself on the waiting list for the audio of the second book in the series, but it will be a few weeks before I get it.

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I don't need one of those charms I would be big as a house. I am enjoying the banter, too.

I will have to check and see if my library has it.

Lol! I could never work in a bakery. I would never be able to stop eating with or without the relic!

I really enjoyed this one. It is quirky, funny. Enjoyed the banter between Lizzy and Diesel. Will look into getting the next in the series.

What do you want to read next?

I won't have Wicked Business for a few weeks. There was a long waiting list.

I will probably have Where She Went (If I Stay, #2) by Gayle Forman by Monday. I'm next for that.

I also have A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry, #1) by Laurell K. Hamilton .

I also have Bitterblue (Graceling Realm, #3) by Kristin Cashore if you still want to do that one.

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I am behind on my reading because I am still not finished with Love Unscripted. I need to finish that book!!! How about A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry, #1) by Laurell K. Hamilton ? We can do Bitterblue after that.

Sounds good...Love Unscripted was long! I liked it, but it took me forever to read, too. I was going to post final thoughts but was waiting until you finished. I might go ahead and do it. I don't think there are any spoilers.

Go ahead and post. I am sorry about my lack of participation on that buddy read.

I made a list of all the books I have on my to-read list that I can get the audio of. It's probably not a complete list, but it's a start:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

If it's a series I just put the firsst book in the series on this list.

If there is anything else you want to read besides those that's fine too. I was just going through last night and updating my book list.

I need to create a library list. I have the ones I stated. I can't get any more right now. I am at my limit of books. You pick what book we will do Monday.

I just received Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter, #1) by Nalini Singh in the mail. YAY!! Have you read anything by her?

Laini Taylor has another book I would like to read Lips Touch Three Times by Laini Taylor

I haven't read anything by Nalini Singh, but I have the first few in the Psy-changling series. I've heard they are good. That one is on my to-read list already :)

I need to update my library list too.

Let's do Fantasy Lover. If I have Where She Went by then do you want to read that one instead?


message 42: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 4 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I'm up for that.

Sheri | 13552 comments Mod
Ok, final thoughts...

I loved the humor in this book. I seriously cannot think of a book that made me laugh so much. I love Diesel, and Wolf seemed okay at the end too. I think those two are going to be fun to have together. Lizzy and her friends were funny, too. For these reasons, I will definately continue the series.

The only thing I really didn't like was that nothing really happened in this book. It was all setup for the rest of the series, I guess, and never really went anywhere. Not much action.

Sheri | 13552 comments Mod
I have Where She Went now, so do you want to start that one Monday?


message 45: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new) - rated it 4 stars

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
That sounds good. Next week is going to be interesting because of the holidays. I will read over so I can post.

This book was hard to discuss because of the lack of action. I enjoyed it and I did pick up the next one. I want to see what happens between Diesel and Lizzy.
