Casee: I have not read one book this month. It’s pathetic. I was reading Going Dark by Monica McCarty, but I gave it a break. It is a possible DNF because of the politics in it. I really hate leaving books unread, so it’s highly possible that I’ll go back to it. Currently I’m reading Archangel’s Viper by Nalini Singh. Everyone loves her Psy/Changeling series (as do I), but the Guild Hunter series is my favorite. It’s gritty and powerful. I’m actually having a hard time getting into it. So I’m starting to think it’s me. Hello.

Holly: I’m on vacation this week (hooray vacation!). One would think that vacation would equal tons of reading time, but we’ve been busy snorkeling and swimming. I managed to read Archangel’s Viper this week. It was fabulous. I loved Viper and I especially loved Holly (I’m pretty sure Nalini Singh used me as her inspiration for the character. No big deal. I mean, she didn’t say so but it’s pretty obvious, right?). Next up is Spellbinder by Thea Harrison. If I don’t have time tomorrow I plan to read it on the plane home Sunday.

Rowena: It’s been a pretty busy week for me with prom last weekend and my kid’s graduation coming up next week. A lot of preparation going on (haha, not really), mostly it’s just me watching how to make money lei videos on YouTube, haha. I did manage to get some reading done.

To start the week, I read Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon for book club. That was a great re-read. It’s been so long since I read a Dark Hunter or rather, a Sherrilyn Kenyon book and I enjoyed it. What’s surprising for me is that my sisters really enjoyed it too. They enjoyed it so much that they’re both knee deep in the Dark Hunter series and they hate paranormal romances. Yay for book club changing their lives. Ha! After that, I read I Knew You Were Trouble by Lauren Layne, Dating You, Hating You by Christina Lauren, and Wired by Julie Garwood. I enjoyed all of the books and my favorite read of the week is probably I Knew You Were Trouble by Lauren Layne. Nick and Taylor were great and Lauren Layne once again made me thirsty for more Oxford stories so I’m a happy camper there.

Right now, I’m reading Some Kind of Hero by Suzanne Brockmann. I’ve only read the first chapter but I’m hopeful that I’ll enjoy this one too.

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

Casee: I’m still glomming D.B. Reynolds. I’m reading Vincent, which is book eight in her Vampires in America series. I just adore this author. I can’t wait until the next book in her Stone Warriors series comes out.

Holly: This week I continued reading Keri Arthur’s Riley Jenson series. I finished books 2-4; Kissing Sin, Tempting Evil and Dangerous Games. Though I enjoyed them for the most part, there are some things that are bothersome to me (mostly the choices Riley makes) so I’m going to take a break from the series for now.

I did a re-read of Silver Silence by Nalini Singh. I still love Valentin. He makes the whole book for me. After that I read Tanner by Sarah Mayberry. I love Mayberry’s books. This was no exception. Tanner was adorable and I really liked the pro-rodeo setting.

I started The Darkest Corner by Liliana Hart last night. It’s the start of a new series. I’m only a couple chapters in. It’s shaping up to be a good story.

Rowena: This week was for haggling with insurance folks over who is going to pay for the damage to my car from some punk ass who hit me last week. It’s an on going battle right now so I didn’t get a lot of reading done. I did manage to read one book though. I read and enjoyed Second Chance Season by Liora Blake and now I want more Braden. I can’t wait for Braden’s book. Now, I’m reading Black Tie Optional by Ann Marie Walker. So far, it’s good and I’m hopeful that it will continue to be good. After this, my plan is to read Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han. I’ve been itching to get that book read since it came out. Wish me luck!

Casee: I’ve found a new-to-me author and I am so excited! I’ve never read or heard of D.B. Reynolds before Wednesday and I have no idea why. Her upcoming release The Stone Warriors: Kato came up on my recommendations on Amazon so I picked up the first book in the series, The Stone Warriors: Damian. Finally Amazon has done something right. I am thrilled.

Holly: I read Small Magics by Ilona Andrews this week. It’s a collection of short stories set in the Kate Daniels world. I hadn’t read most of them, which is odd since I thought I’d read every book in that series. 

Rowena: This week was a busy one for me because I had stuff planned and then I had to pack and get ready for my trip that I am on right now. My family and I are in Utah for a baby blessing so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that I didn’t read much this week. I’m still reading Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs but I should finish it up tonight and then once I’m back home, I plan to jump right into Ironed Kiss by Patricia Briggs to keep the Mercy Thompson party going. 🙂
