April was a strange reading month for me. I got off to a kind of rough start, then really picked up during the middle of the month. But it really dropped off again during the last week of the month. I don’t know what that was about, but I didn’t like it.
I managed to read 15 books, which I think is pretty great considering they were all read during about a two week period.

I am looking f/d to reading:
Deb Macomber’s Hannah’s list – have it from the library.
Am current reading More Than Words – Vol 6.
There was nothing I read that I did not care for = True Love Quilting Club was pretty good but got interruped reading because of vacation, so would have liked it more if I could have devoted proper time.
I’d like to put in for ‘Nothing But Trouble’ by Rachael Gibson. I just finished ‘Not Another Bad Date’ and loved it.
I’m reading The Poisonwood Bible (for book club), but have just finished Jill Shalvis’ Instant Trilogy (Stone is my favorite) and have “Slow Heat” on my shelf for next.

I read 19 books during April. My favorites were Smooth Talking Stranger by Lisa Kleypas and Nine Rules to Break when Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean. I really loved both those books. My least favorite this month was Christina Dodd’s In Bed with the Duke. I just didn’t care for the set-up and the characters didn’t work for me.
All three of your giveaway books are on my TBR list, so any one would be great for me. Thanks.
My favorite read in April was Demon Keepers by Jessica Anderson. I am looking forward to Moon Sworn by Keri Arthur.
I would love to win any of the three books.
Well I read my first erotica this month! Megan Hart’s books Tempted and Naked. Really liked them. But my favorite read was Courtney Milan’s Proof by Seduction.
I’d like to read Gibson’s book. I’ve only read one of hers.
My least fav. was Sharp Teeth by Toby Barlow read for my Book Club. It was ok. Meh.
April was a good reading month for me! My favorite was, well, actually, I’m going to have to list two favorites because its definitely a tie, were: Moon Craving by Lucy Monroe and Ravished by Amanda Quick! Ravished was such a grat book! I absolutely loved watching the hero and heroine fall in love!
Can’t pick a least favorite!

My favorite reads were Home in Carolina by Sherryl Woods, Lake Magic by Kimberly Fisk, and Ten Things I Love About You by Julia Quinn (arc for review).
The book I liked the least would be Out of Body by Stella Cameron. For some reason I had a hard time getting into it, but it got okay as the story progressed and I’ll probably read the other 2 in the series.
I am look forward to Rule’s Bride by Kat Martin and Sweet Tea at Sunrise by Sherryl Woods.
Any of the three books to win sound good to me :).
