Unapologetic_Bookaholic @Michelle Yes I switch back and forth. I usually get to read a few pages a day and end up finishing at the end of the month. I put off reading last month and didn't get to finish a lot of my current June reads.

Well, it definitely sounds like a good way to get through your tbr pile. I've been trying to read multiple books at once too, but usually end up neglecting one or the other.

message 14: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) i'm reading Some Girls Bite (Chicagoland Vampires, #1) by Chloe Neill and really enjoying it so far - its for my dare you to read challenge, as well as the seasonal reading challenge (set in Chicago)


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) I am still stuck on Night's Cold Kiss (A Dark Brethren Novel, book 1) by Tracey O'Hara . It's weird I enjoyed it, but I still can't feel motivated to finish the last 40 pages.

The Foretelling by Alice Hoffman is turning out to be a beautiful read!

Shera,
I liked Awaiting the Moon. I didn't love it, but liked it enough to want to read the next book in the series. It started a little slow for me but eventually picked up.


message 38: by Carolyn F. (new)

Carolyn F. I finished Lover Avenged late last night (or is that early this morning?). I think this is the best Black Dagger Brotherhood book in my opinion.

Lady Allison | 150 comments Recently finished: Twice Bitten (Chicagoland Vampires, #3) by Chloe Neill & Rules of Attraction (Perfect Chemistry, #2) by Simone Elkeles which I have yet to review but I sat down to read the first couple of chapters before bed around 1 am...and it was SO GOOD I finished it by 5 am. I love, love, loved Perfect Chemistry AND Rules of Attraction! Also, on audio I finished Faking It  by Jennifer Crusie & Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie by Jennifer Crusie - I absolutely LOVE her books, they're always funny, they always have something interesting to point out about love & relationships, & listening to them on audio has been a trip because the narrators truly make the story come to life!

Currently reading: The Darkest Lie (Lords of the Underworld, #6) by Gena Showalter which I love but I'm having trouble concentrating with it & listening to Anyone But You  by Jennifer Crusie which is shaping up to be another great Crusie read. :)

Also, my non fic read of the month - Drink This Not That! The No-Diet Weight Loss Solution by David Zinczenko ...it's crazy what they put in our drinks!

I have about 10 Jennifer Crusie books. I've only started one Agnes and the Hitman and didn't finish it. I keep hearing good things about Faking It, so maybe I'll just start this one instead.


message 44: by Lady Allison (new)

Lady Allison | 150 comments Carolyn, you should read Welcome to Temptation (Dempsey's, 1) by Jennifer Crusie first because there are recurring characters in Faking It that make more sense if you know who the Dempsey's are - but both are GREAT romantic mysteries, she always throws you for a loop & they're SO funny!


message 45: by Danielle (new)

Danielle (Smiley1881) I finished Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) by Richelle Mead and Taken by Anya Bast . I have no idea what to read next. I'll have to figure out what kind of mood I'm in.


message 46: by Whitney (new)

Whitney (whitneychakara) | 21 comments I finished If I Stay and I am now reading Kitty and the Midnight Hour. thinking about also reading either Glimmerglass or Spells

I put a request in for the audio a while back. It's been "pending" since. So once they get the audio I should be close to the top of the wait list. :-)
