Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

A new month and a new thread!

Stop by and let us know what books you've finished, currently reading or about to start. Or the unexpected read that you just finished.

I started two today....How They Met, and Other Stories and #First Impressions #Second Chances.

Read this month.

Up next:-

Sharp Love
50% through the book, and I'm in awe of Ms. March's abilities. Not the first I've read from her, by any means. This one was given to me by the publisher for review, and I'm predicting 5 stars. Thank you, Carina Press! Never had so much fun at work. ;)

We Were Liars
A Discovery of Witches

Just finished these ones yesterday.

The Lost Hero

65% through this one.

Read Jul 1 & 2
[bookcovers:The Only One Who Matters|19009265]

Up next:

I've just finished and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's background and situation is quite similar to Christine Feehan's Ghostwalker series, but without the girlie bits and extreme dominance ;)

Also read - cute story.

Now reading which is set in New Zealand - so close!!!

I just finished The Girl Who Played with Fire. One of my few complaints about the first book was how long it took for Lisbeth and Mikael to connect so imagine my dismay when in book 2, they don't connect until the LAST PAGE! AAAHHHH! So, of course, I am now reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. :)

I love that last book!!! But these books are not romance Melissa... Just a little warning for you :)

I think I'm going to have to check out Seven soon. I love Christine Feehan's Ghostwalkers series.

I liked but thought it was overly long in some places. I'm looking forward to Four.

I thought Thirteen was next - and then Nine???

**EDIT**

I was on my phone - I can follow your link now :)

It probably is but unless they intersect with each other, I will probably only read 4 but who knows.

I know (sigh) :) It's just that I LOVE the way the author writes Lisbeth's interactions with others, especially Mikael, so I was missing that in book 2. Although, her ass kicking was delightful so all is forgiven!

I'm reading two books right now...

Eye of the Draco: Darkfall by Kadin Seton, a young adult apocalyptic thriller that's well written and enjoyable. It's part of a group read, so I'm trying to pace myself and not get ahead of the rest of the readers.

So today I started Atlantis Rising by Alyssa Day, a paranormal romance. Too early in the book yet to tell how I'll like it.

so far I have read these or listened to these

Truth or Dare by Jayne Ann Krentz
Thoroughbreds and Trailer Trash by Bev Pettersen
Whispering Rock (Virgin River)#3 by Robyn Carr Audiobook
A Virgin River Christmas (Virgin River) #4 by Robyn Carr Audiobook
Second Chance Pass (Virgin River) #5 by Robyn Carr Audiobook

Listening to and I suspect that im will flow right into

Also reading

I finished listening to Pia Saves the Day, nice addition to the Elder Races series! I'm trying to read Love the One You're With, but real life keeps interfering...

Next up are Then Came You in audio and Love You So Hard and #First Impressions #Second Chances for the M/M buddy read. But I've got to finish one before moving on the others!

Hello all! I've just finished binge-reading the Real series by Katy Evans and - I totally loved it! Anyone else feel as if Katy just peeped into your mind and wrote a no holds barred version??!! wow

can anyone suggest anything for me to read next? am new to the group and a voracious reader (of any genre); feel free to inbox!

happy reading ;)

Lauren - i'm deleting your post - self-promo needs to be posted in that section of the group

i have finally finished and it was okay but it was also not that great. I am now reading and and then i will read .

just finished modnight breed series loved most of it.except maybe the last book of dragon chalice.loved midnight breeds.loved the order.looking forward to more of it.loved bdb too.to me they are very differentbdb is intense,brash "getcha asses up here, brothers" by wrath (bdb)
more rough..good bromance and romance in both.the order on the other hand are a bit more sleek deadly warriors.not that intense.but very intricate plots and good characters except for the romance btw claire and andre and of course corrinne.

also .good book.

I am reading One in a Million , which I didn't realize is part of a series, so it was nice to see a couple I have already read about pop up. And The Dreams You Made in the Dirt for the Random List Challenge.

I'm reading The Unseen and Until Lilly. I have to say that I am loving the Until series. This is the third book in it, leaving 1 more. I have enjoyed each one.
Also, just started Real for the ptp challange and Phase One: Identify an 88 page short story.
