Casee: I don’t know what exactly my problem is this week (really this entire month). I finally finished At the Pleasure of the President (The Perfect Gentlemen #5) by Shayla Black & Lexi Blake. I loved it. Still, it took me two (2!!) weeks to read it. I started it on the 9th and didn’t finish it until the 23rd. When I realized that? Mind blown. I’m now back now back into comfortable, familiar territory with Wild Man (Dream Man #2) by Kristen Ashley. Ah, Kristen Ashley. How I adore her.
I actually DNF’d Lost Hearts (Masters and Mercenaries: The Forgotten #1) by Lexi Blake. I adore Lexi Blake, but this audiobook? Not for me. I expect that I will read the ebook, but not right now. One of my 2019 Reading Goals is to read more historical books, so I am listening to Cold-Hearted Rake (The Ravenels #1) by Lisa Kleypas. I’m told it’s not the best book in the series, but I’m not too worried. Yet.
Holly: I’m still not reading. I don’t know what my problem is. April is generally a very strong reading month for me, but I can’t seem to focus this month. I started listening to Halfway to the Grave by Jeanine Frost, but I didn’t care for the narrator, so I decided to read it instead. That was a week ago and I haven’t read a single page. I’m listening to One Fell Sweep by Ilona Andrews, which I’ve read before many times and Wishes and Wellingtons by Julie Berry with my daughter. It’s a really cute book, but we haven’t had a lot of time to listen to it. Aside from that I re-reads Oracle’s Moon by Thea Harrison (such a lovely book) and that’s it.
I still haven’t finished Getting Hot with the Scot by Melonie Johnson or Better Homes and Hauntings by Molly Harper. Send help, I clearly need it.
Rowena is out of town this week and not reading much anyway. She’ll be back next week with a list (hopefully).

What are you reading this week? Any new favorites or books that drove you crazy? Share!
didn’t like roar by Cora Carmack
The Me I Used To Be sounds intriguing! Will be back later with a list of books read.
Holly, I’m in 100% agreement on Oracle’s Moon; it’s one of my favorites.
My daughter was visiting from South Korea for the past two weeks, so I haven’t been reading as much as usual.
Recent reads ~
— another reread of SK Dunstall’s Confluence (A Linesman Novel Book 3) which I enjoyed once again.
— a reread of The Goblin Emperor: Katherine Addison which I enjoyed once more. (Note: the book is currently on sale for $1.99 for Kindle readers. I recommend it.)
— And a handful of samples. I liked the sample I read of The Care and Feeding of Griffins: A Lords of Arcadia Novel by R. Lee Smith; however, I read some reviews and decided the book was not for me. I did enjoy her The Last Hour of Gann previously. I’d like to reread it, but it’s quite long!
Just finished Once Upon a Bad Boy, the third in Melonie Johnson’s series–not out yet.
