What Are You Reading? (273)

WAYR-New

Rowena: It’s been a slow reading week for me. With basketball and everything, there was just wasn’t a lot of time left over to read. I just finished reading Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs and I really enjoyed it. It’s a lot different from what I normally read so it was a refreshing change. I’m looking forward to reading more from this world.

I have some review books to read but I think I’m going to start Angel’s Blood by Nalini Singh for my 5 Books Everyone Should Read Challenge book of the month.

What are you reading this week? Any new favorites or books that drove you crazy? Share!

  1. I had a bit of a binge-read last week because I had a few days off work. Back at work this week so hopefully going to catch up on my books over the weekend. As for the books….has been a bit of a hit or miss. Some really good ones and some just ok.

      • The books that I gave high ratings for recently were:

        Falling Completely by Aidan Willows (a great first romance from a new author)
        Fighting Silence by Aly Martinez
        Marry your Billionaire by CJ Anaya (didnt think I would enjoy it but loved it!)

        My misses included:
        Dirty Detour by Grace Risata
        Bad Boy Baby Daddy by Avery Wilde

        And a lot of average reads too!

    The Alpha and Omega series is one of my favorites. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it, Rowena.

    Books read this week ~

    — The Master Magician which is the third and final book in the Paper Magician Series by Charlie N. Holmberg; I’ve enjoyed the entire series.
    — a re-read which I enjoyed once more ~ Him by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy
    — the long novella His Road Home by Anna Richland. It was quite good; I’ll definitely be re-reading this at some point. And, it’s currently 99cents for Kindle readers.
    — also read these contemporary male/male romances by Amy Jo Cousins; I enjoyed them all. Off Campus (Bend or Break Book 1), Nothing Like Paris (Bend or Break), Level Hands (Bend or Break), and Full Exposure: A Don’t Read in the Closet Novella (this novella is currently free to Kindle readers).
    — The Beauty of Zentangle: Inspirational Examples from 137 Tangle Artists Worldwide which was a lovely book. It’s a showcase of Zentangle works from artists around the world; it’s an impressive collection.
    — the inspirational romance Until the Dawn by Elizabeth Camden. It was a pleasant read. I’ve read several other books by the author; this had by far the most religious content. The author’s companion novella is currently free to Kindle readers ~ Toward the Sunrise: An Until the Dawn Novella by Elizabeth Camden
    — the graphic fiction work Killing and Dying by Adrian Tomine; it was an interesting read, but it did not speak to me.
    — a very enjoyable illustrated memoir. I think it will hold particular appeal to those who love food and cooking. (I love the former if not the latter!) Relish: My Life in the Kitchen by Lucy Knisley
    — I’ve been enjoying browsing Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words which is by the xkcd artist, Randall Monroe
    — M. L. Buchman’s newest military romance By Break of Day (The Night Stalkers); I enjoyed it.

    • I really am enjoying the Alpha & Omega series. I was supposed to start Angel’s Blood right after Hunting Ground but I didn’t. I jumped into Fair Game instead and enjoyed that one as well. I’m debating on reading a review book, Angel’s Blood or saying screw it and finishing out the A&O series. Decisions, decisions…

      Maybe I should read Him by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy. I’ve had that book to read for ages and haven’t gotten around to it. Hmmm, maybe.

      Looks like a great reading week for you, Kareni. Go you!
