I've been meaning to read Outlander for awhile as I understand it's meant to be fantastic! It's slow at the moment but I'm still only on chapter 2.Violet midnight isn't really doing anything for me, I'm finding it too fast and jumpy in the prose and I'm not connecting to the characters. May just be me though as it's reviewed well amongst my GR friends. The plot is intriguing too.
I have Outlander on in the car on audiobook.I read Anna Karenina when I'm around my husband as I'm trying to prove to him I can read 'real' books too!!!
And I'm just reading violet midnight, normally in my lunch break at work on the kindle.
Strictly speaking I'm reading 4 because I go to sleep to harry potter audiobook each night, but as it's like my 5th time I don't bother counting that one!

Aww I see. I like the sound of it because it's paranormal NA, and any New Adult novel that is something other than contemporary romance is right up my alley. Of course, I love some of the contemporary stuff, I just don't read a lot of it. And I can't wait for New Adult to expand even more beyond it. :)
I am currently reading Molly Harper's "A Witch's Handbook of Kisses and Curses". I love her.
@Brianna - I haven't read Molly Harper, does she write pnr? And is it 'mature' or 'clean'?@Kathryn - I have that book so I'd like to know how you find it. Miranda is hilarious but I rarely read biography/autobiography.
Yes she does, Sarah. It's very funny, and there is sex, but I wouldn't call it steamy, really. If you want to try her, I recommend her Jane Jameson series,starting with Nice Girls Don't have Fangs. All the books I've read from her I've liked, though. They always make me laugh. :)
I'm finally reading Losing It and probably moving onto The Unidentified Redhead, which is a bit more adult but looks fun.

I really enjoyed it. More then I thought I would seeing as this was my very first NA Paranormal.
Here is my review in case you want check it out. But be warned it does contain spoilers. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
I'm late to the party because probably everyone has already read it but I'm about halfway through
and loving it! Why did I wait so long to read this?? lol
I'm almost done with
(amazing book)... I'm like 35% into
for a review (i'm loving it so far, so fun to read) and i just started
... I'm also listening to
.. I know that's a lot of books at once but i love switching around depending on what i'm doing. Some books i can mutitask while i'm reading and some i need to just lay in bed and concentrate on. Plus it's kind of fun to listen to a book while washing the dishes. :)
I'm a multi-reader too Jenn!I'm currently reading;
(after waiting 6 weeks for the library to get me a copy)
on audiobook in the car during my commute
slowly when Ihave the energy as it's on my list of books I think I ought to read
also on audiobook at bed time to help me get to sleep and about to start
for a read it for review.Which one I pick up to read depends like you say on what I'm doing and what frame of mind I'm in. Some books I could read at the park with screaming kids running around me. Others I'd need privacy for, either to concentrate or laugh or cry without getting odd looks!
That's awesome sarah, i'm glad someone understands and has the same crazy reading habits as me... Lol

It's like the series, the first chapter is free on Amazon if you wanted to try it first...
I'm reading Alice Clayton's Redhead series and loving it. How did I not know about this author before?

@ Amy. That's EXACTLY what I said! Have you read Tara Sivec? She's another great author along the lines of Alice Clayton. Enjoy!
Just finished Crush by Nicole Williams. --Loved it, thought it was the perfect ending to Jude and Lucy's story! Now I'm reading Shine Not Burn by Elle Casey. -- Started out slow, but now it's getting interesting ;)

In the spirit of continuing a 'currently reading' thread, I'm reading these 3 at the moment...
(The last two are more of a work in progress as Outlander is huge and I have it on audio on my commute and Anna Karenina I'm just dipping into now and again)
