Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

November - Molly Harper

Molly Harper is an American author of paranormal and contemporary romance and a member of the Romance Writers of America. She was born in Kentucky, growing up in both Mississippi and Kentucky. When she was eight years old, she set up a “writing office” in her parents’ living room, complete with an old manual typewriter and a toy phone. She (very slowly) pecked out the story of her third-grade class taking a trip around the world and losing a kid in each city. She had a dark sense of humor even then.

She graduated in 2000 from Western Kentucky University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in print journalism and began work as a reporter for The Paducah Sun. She married her high school sweetheart, David, a local police officer. After six years at the newspaper, Molly took a more family-friendly secretarial position at a local church office. Her husband worked nights, and Molly spent her evenings alone with their small child. She decided to use the time to write a vampire romance. Her first novel, Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs, was published in 2009.

Reception for her work has been positive, with her Naked Werewolf and Nice Girls series both being "Top Picks" for Romantic Times. Her novel And One Last Thing ... was a 2011 finalist in the Romance Writers of America's RITA awards in the category of contemporary single title romance.

Molly lives in Paducah, Kentucky with her husband and children.

I'm an A! I have only read a few of her books, but I've loved them all - especially in audio! I just picked up Better Homes and Hauntings at an audible sale (perfect timing), so that is what I'll plan on reading. =)

I am an A...with a caveat. I don't seem to enjoy her books when I read them. but when i listen to the audio narrated by Amanda Ronconi, it's a 4-5 star book.

I am looking forward to

I am an A! Will be reading the next two that come out soon!

I'm a B.

I'm an A - prob going to read her new book - The Single Undead Moms Club

I'm an A and I'm going to read

I'm an A and plan on reading

I'm an A generally, and I'm going to read

I'm an A, and I'm very excited to read The Single Undead Moms Club.

currently listening to

I'm an A and I finished reading My Bluegrass BabyMolly Harper and gave it 5 stars. I love Molly Harper, she's cute and snarky and she cracks me up :) I finished as an A.

I finished and gave it 3.5 stars. It was just ok for me.
I am still a big FAN at an A

I'm an A. :) I finished and have started the 2nd book in the series.

I finished Better Homes and Hauntings the other day and really enjoyed it! It was wonderful to listen to, an easy story to follow and great characters. Funny and snarky, just like I had expected!

I started an A and I finish an A - her books are great, especially in audio!

I've finished .
I started an A and I'm finishing an A. Always a good read. :)

So I started out as a C and after finishing , I'm ending up a B. I enjoyed the book, but it wasn't fantastic for me. I really enjoyed the snark levels, but I felt like the chemistry between the two main characters was forced at times.

Finished up and the narration was really good, but the story was just ok. I liked it in the beginning but after awhile I became bored. I'll end at a B-

I finished Fangs for the Memories - cute shortie about Dick/Andrea - was an A; still an A

And I'm excited that Ophelia is going to get her own book next year

Finally getting around to posting...better late than never, I guess! I read 2 books this month, and as usual thoroughly enjoyed them both. Better Homes and Hauntings was very cute, with the usual quirky characters and a haunted house thrown in just for fun. The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires was good too, but I wish I'd realized before starting it that, although it's a new series, if you're obsessive about reading books in order you really should finish the Jane Jameson series before starting this one. There are references in it to things that happen in the other series that I haven't read about yet! Still fun though!

I started as a solid A and am finishing the same.

I started as A and continue the same.

I read How to Run with a Naked Werewolf 11/27
