Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

It's April already, and so for those who celebrate Easter: Happy Easter!

And I hope you guys are playing some extra wicked pranks on people today. It's April Fools' baby.

As to what I'm reading right now, it's Angels' Blood: The Guild Hunter #1
by Nalini Singh. I'm loving it.

Right now I'm readin Gentlemen Prefer Succubi, different.

I am reading [image error] . And liking it as much as the first in the series.

I'm reading The Devil Who Tamed Her by Johanna Lindsey. It's my pick for last months featured author challenge, but it came home from the library at the start of March and stayed on the cupboard until now. I have historical romance issues.

One Reckless Summer (Destiny, #1)
by Toni Blake (Goodreads Author)

and - but i need to start my April reads, so these will change soon enough

Starting April with the following:

Reading C.L. Wilson's Lady of Light and Shadows and listening to Nora Roberts' Tears of the Moon.

I'm reading Blaze of Memory...it's going well but I miss the changelings!

Just finished A Heart So Wild by Johanna Lindsey last night and really enjoyed it. Today I started Butterfly Tattoo bye Deidre Knight. Just a few pages in and I am hooked!

Just finished up Linda Howard's All The Queen's Men and now starting Rachel Gibson's It Must Be Love.

well, so far I've finished--Changeless, Silver Borne (Mercedes Thompson, #5), and Wild Ride. Now I just have to decide what to read NEXT. Sigh, so many books, so little time.

Reading Black Hills by Nora Roberts.

@Ann aka Iftcan - how'd you like Silver Borne? I'm thinking of reading it soon for the Women We Love Challenge.

I finished The Devil Who Tamed Her last night and have one thing to say - buy a freaking map woman!

Next up is The Initiation by L.J. Smith. I need to take refuge in a book I know I love.

I just finished Undead and Unwedand now I'm about 100 pages into Moon Called.
I wasn't a huge fan of Undead and Unwed, it was alright...but Moon Called is good so far. I'm sure I'll continue that series.

Finished up It Must Be Love late yesterday afternoon, then stayed up till 5am (!!!) this morning and read Lori Foster's Never Too Much. Not sure what I'm going to read next ... probably Kresley Cole's Pleasure of a Dark Prince or Larissa Ione's Ecstasy Unveiled.

I just finished reading Dark Slayer by Christine Feehan and I have to say I am not too disappointed. Her books have been a little annoying for a while now because she has this annoying language she inserts into the text is so annoying.... All in all, it was an enjoyable book.

All the Queen's Men is an amazing book. I enjoyed it tremendously and I just love Linda Howard's books.

I am not sure about Black Hills by Nora Roberts because I think she has been losing her touch recently. She need to suck it up and get her muse back or something. :)

Nikki, I'm also reading Black Hills. I'm not that far into it, but I'm enjoying it. I think the locale is the only thing I'm finding that's wanting at this point. No offense to all of those from the Dakotas, but ranches and farms are really not my thing. She does make it sound beautiful though. I've never been there, and so I can't judge the location, but don't really relate to it.

I'm working on White Tiger by Vijaya Schartz. It's a space fantasy romance which is a very different kind of read for me.

Yes, it was and I also enjoy Linda Howard's books. Will be reading Kiss Me While I Sleep (Medina, #3) very soon :)

Lover Avenged

I started feeling the same way but just finishing Bed of Roses (which I loved) made me want to try "Black Hills" It's been an okay read for me so far.

I understand about not relating :)

Happy Easter!!! I am reading Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs by Molly Harper...and I am absolutely loving it...talk about funny - its like reading & watching the movie play in your head at the same time...

I agree - I think Nora lost her way in this book but I really liked the bride quartet series so far - I have read the 1st 2 in this set by her & I think book 3 should be out soon...

I'm done with The Initiation and I also read The Captive and The Power to complete the series. Then I read The Thing About Jane Spring which was funny, and made me want to curl up with some old Doris Day movies.

Next up is either Silver Borne or Unleash the Night (Dark-Hunter, #9), though I'm not sure which yet.

Whitney, My Love for about the 50th time!

Since I apparently have book ADD right now (I can't concentrate on one book enough to finish it through) - I have two that i'm reading, both for challenges.

and

Finished reading Wicked Gentlemen by Ginn Hale - an m/m steampunk novel. Enjoyed it.

Ricochet and Lover Unbound

Just started Outlander on Friday.

Just finished . Wish someone had warned me that I would want to castrate Seth with a spork at the end of this book.Ahh well.Now i'm reading [image error] & which both have promising starts.Also reading for the Chubby Challenge & damn is this book boring.

Finished up Lola Carlyle Reveals All by Rachel Gibson this morning at breakfast, and have just started Pleasure of a Dark Prince by Kresley Cole.

Dalene, how are you finding Ricochet? I have it on my list to read this month.

I am enjoying it very much! It doesn't wait to get the story started.

I finished Veil of Midnight and Highland Savage both were enjoyable books. I'm now reading Elizabeth's Wolf (Breeds, #3) and really like it a lot.

I'm done with Unleash the Night (Dark-Hunter, #9) (which I've loved since the first time I read it) and Silver Borne (which I was only going to read for 10 minutes, and ended up not moving till I'd finished the book - yey Adam-y goodness!). Not sure what's up next, though Sallie's comments on Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs are tempting me to go find my copy :)

Lock and Key this is the book im reading right now.
im not very far i started it on Saturday, haven't found it very interesting very far.
im hoping it will get better because i like Sarah Dessen's books

I'm currently reading Iron Kissed, I'm enjoying it very much. I've had to put it down for a bit so I could come onto Goodreads and update everything.
What does everyone think of the Mercedes Thompson series?

i am currently reading the Red Pony by John Steinbeck...it is really good so far

Natalie -- love the Mercy Thompson series :)

I just finished Holly's Inbox which was amusing. I started the audiobook for Little Heathens: Hard Times and High Spirits on an Iowa Farm During the Great Depression for the monthly challenge. I'm also chomping at the bit to read steampunk novel Changeless

After a couple hard starts this month, started out with "Minion" by LA Bank.(God help me!!, it felt like a chore to read) threw that away after 30 pages into it. Then I started "A Girl's Guide to Vampires" by Katie MacAlister. ( Talk a bout a whiny, chatty bi**h, this heorine -Joy- took the cake.) I could'nt get pass her dialogue fast enough to finsh this book. Quite disapointing because I was looking forward to reading Katie MacAlister's series...now... It can wait. Finally on to some thing that I am enjoying so far. I'm reading "Halfway to the Grave" by Jeaniene Frost. Started it last night and I'm already on page 200. So far, I'm liking it!! I can breath... :D

Just read , (which I'd been meaning to read since it came out in Feb) and in the last few days. Currently listening to and reading (thanks to Yz for recommending that for the April Challenge! Loving it so far!). Also reading on my phone here and there. I stayed up until 2:30 last night reading Joining and I'm hoping I don't do it again tonight, but Lord of the Fading Lands is mighty good so far.

Amanda: I'm currently reading the second book in the Tairen Soul series, Lady of Light and Shadows, and its promising to be as good as the first. :)

I am now reading .

I finished Elizabeth's Wolf (Breeds, #4), very good book. I'm now reading Rosemary and Rue.

LA Bank series gets better with each book. The first book took me awhile to get through too but the second was better and so on.

Yall are reading good and interesting reads. I have the same issue...book ADD! LOL! I always am in the middle of something. But by the end the month I'll have finished at least 8 books at most 18 [i think that was last month's total?:]

Current reads:
Pride
The Lightning Thief
Poison Study
Bad Moon Rising

To start:
Dirty
Soul Deep

Just finished [image error] which was unfortunately a big disappointment.Now i'm on to , & a re-read of .

Decided to start it yesterday, and I, too, am really enjoying it. I'm down to the last 70 odd pages and can't put it down ... well, obviously I did to type this but you get my meaning :)
