Holly: I’m glad Rowena is reading, because I’m not. I haven’t read a book yet in 2020, and this week isn’t looking good either. I took a new position at work and all my extra brainpower is going there. Fingers crossed things relax soon. I miss reading.

Rowena: I’m really kicking ass in 2020 on the reading front. I’ve read hella. This week, I read The One for You by Roni Loren, which was my first 5 star read of the year. I cried a bunch while reading that one. I have enjoyed the series so much and this book really ended the series on the right note. I loved the friendships, the romance, and I really loved Kincaid and Ash’s love for her. Gah, I’m a sap. I also read Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn, which was another good read though it took me quite a while to warm up to Meg, to Reid and to whatever it was they were planning and doing in the beginning but boy does it end on such a high note. I also read Headliners by Lucy Parker, which was another fabulous addition to that series. Parker’s redemption game with Nick Davenport was strong because going into that one, I wasn’t a really big Nick fan but after? LOVE!!! Team Davenport right here. Ha! After that, I read The Rebel King by Kennedy Ryan, which knocked me on my ass at every freaking turn. That entire duet was so intense and so angsty that it took me a while before moving on to my next read. Maxim and Lennix gutted me but Kennedy Ryan put me back together so all is well. I ended my reading week with Heartland by Sarina Bowen. What a sweet romance for Dylan Shipley. Sarina Bowen is a champ for keeping the True North books coming. I absolutely adore this series. I’m curious about Dylan’s friend Rickie and if he’s going to end up with Daphne, maybe? Though I really want to see Keith get a book. I need more of that musician in my life. Fingers crossed!

Now, I’m reading The Witness by Nora Roberts. Book club is next week and I’m preparing this month’s discussion and game so I better get my ass in gear and get this book read.

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

Casee: I am still read/listening to the same books I was last Friday. I’m reading For You by Kristen Ashley and listening to Wife by Penelope Sky. I really have nothing interesting to report on what I’m reading.

Holly: Things are still crazy here. I haven’t had much reading time. I did re-read Sweep of the Blade by Ilona Andrews and Repeat by Kylie Scott, but that’s all the actual reading time I had. I listened to two books, Complicated by Kristen Ashley – and Audible original – and The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare. I’m hoping I’ll have time to read this coming weekend, but don’t hold your breath.

Rowena: This week was another week that I thought I’d do good on the reading front and then…didn’t. I finished Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton for book club tonight and enjoyed that one again. It was a re-read but I read it years ago and didn’t remember much from it so it was a pretty fresh read. It took me a little to warm up to Ellie but I immediately loved Will. Ha! I started The Kingmaker by Kennedy Ryan but didn’t get very far into it so I’m hoping to finish that up this weekend and jump into The Rebel King by Kennedy Ryan though I might just jump into my eARC of Chasing Cassandra by Lisa Kleypas. Who knows. Wish me luck!

Casee: The beginning of the week was pretty slow for me. The last half of the week has been going pretty well. I’m currently reading For You by Kristen Ashley. I tried to listen to it on audio, but the narrator wasn’t for me. I’m really enjoying Feb and Colt.

I’m listening to Wife by Penelope Sky. It’s interesting to say the least. I’m halfway through it and still can’t decide if I like it or not. I do know that the heroine is driving me crazy.

Holly: I finished listening to The Fate of Mercy Alban by Wendy Webb, but I haven’t read anything else this week, aside from light skimming. I’m dealing with some family matters and I haven’t had the time, energy or inclination for anything else. Hopefully this weekend I’ll have a chance to read.

Rowena: I took my first business trip this week so I was able to get some reading done on my flight and at night before crashing after long days of work. I finished up Lady Derring Takes a Lover by Julie Anne Long and that book made me cry. I enjoyed it a lot, so it was another fabulous recommendation from Holly. I also listened to The A.I. Who Loved Me by Alyssa Cole and really enjoyed that one too. Alyssa Cole has a great writing style and I enjoyed listening to Regina King and Mindy Kaling. All around, it was a good reading week for me.

Right now, I’m reading my last book club book of the year. I’m reading Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton. It’s actually a re-read for me and I don’t remember a thing about it…except the soulmates thing. So far, so good. After this, I’ll be jumping into The Kingmaker by Kennedy Ryan.
