The last week of November really kicked my butt. Between work and family obligations, I had very little time to read. I finished listening to Things We Left Behind by Lucy Score. I really liked it and it promoted me to go back and reread the first book in the series, Things We Never Got Over. After that I was in the mood for more contemporary romance, so I read Gull Harbor by Kathryn Knight, a new-to-me author. The story was just okay. There wasn’t a lot of depth or emotion, which made for a quick – if not very engaging – read. I listened to Not My Kind of Hero by Pippa Grant, which was enjoyable and engaging, though I could have done without some of the added drama. Then I read Hidden Miles by Claire Kingsley, which is the 6th book in the series but the only one I’ve read. I liked it, but again there was a lot of added drama that seemed to carry over from previous books that I wasn’t super interested in.

I DNF’d It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey and Witches Get Stuff Done by Molly Harper on audio. I might go back to them at a later date or try to read them instead, but I wasn’t into either one at the moment.

Other than that, I re-read a few books and read through a lot of samples. I haven’t decided what I’m going to read next.

I’ve been going through reading spurts. Sometimes I get home from work and don’t read at all. Sometimes I come home and I read for hours. I’m currently reading Bad for You (Rocktown Ink #4) by Sherilee Gray. I’m really enjoying this series.

I’m listening to Ashes (Dark in You #3) by Suzanne Wright and Things We Left Behind (Knockemout #3) by Lucy Score.

Work and family obligations are kicking my butt this month. I finished re-reading the Dark in You series by Suzanne Wright and listening to Guardian of Torment by Michelle Manus. Then I read The Brightest Light of Sunshine by Lisina Coney, which I found via Bookstagram. It started out really cute, but it kind of fizzled out for me in the last half. I’m currently listening to Things We Left Behind (Knockemout #3) by Lucy Score.

I’m a mood reader who isn’t sure what she’s in the mood for. It’s frustrating because I want to read, I just don’t know what I want to read.

I read Fortune’s Pawn by Rachel Bach, a new to me author. I enjoyed it enough to continue the series. I thought Honor’s Knight, the second book in the series, was the best of the three, but I also enjoyed Heaven’s Queen. After I finished I couldn’t decide what to read so I listened to Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison on audio. I’ve read the book countless times, but this was the first time I listened. I enjoyed the narrator quite a bit. I also re-read Steadfast by Sarina Bowen,

I read From Rags by Suzanne Wright, an older contemporary. I didn’t care for it. Her paranormal novels work better for me. I ended up re-reading several of the books from the Dark in You series, Shadows, Omens and Hunted. I’m currently listening to Guardian of Torment by Michelle Manus, the most recent Nyx Fortuna release. I didn’t re-read the previous book in the series before starting and I regret it. I may have to set this aside and come back to it after I skim the previous books.

Any paranormal romances you can recommend? I think that’s what I’m craving.

October hasn’t been a kind reading month to me. I’ve DNFed two books already. Hemy (Walk of Shame #2) by Victoria Ashley and Wolf Marked (Magic Side: Wolf Bound #1) by Veronica Douglas. I finally read Rogue Darkness (Immortal Guardians #12) by Dianne Duvall and really enjoyed it. I’m currently reading Don’t Forget Me Tomorrow (Time River #2) by A.L. Jackson. It’s standard Jackson fare, so it’s really angsty. I think I’m going to take a break and reread A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark #1) by Kresley Cole.

I’m listening to Things We Left Behind (Knockemout #3) by Lucy Score. I’m not too far into it, but so far, so good.

I had a slow reading week due to work commitments. I read Ascending by Meg Pechenick, a new-to-me author. It reminded me somewhat of Stray by Andrea K. Host, though I think this one was done better. That was the only book I managed to finish this week, though I did read a ton of samples. I also listened to Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison, a personal favorite. For all of my re-reads, this is the first time I listened to the audiobook. I enjoyed it and I am considering whether I’ll continue the series on audio or move onto something else.

I finished Traitor’s Masque by Kenley Davidson, which had a lot of intrigue that kept me invested (though the romance was very lite). I then went back to the Legends of Abreia series and finished The Hidden Queen and The Captive Throne, books 3 and 4. Each couple gets 2 books in this series, with an overarching storyline that spans the entire series. I enjoyed the couple from books 1 and 2 more, but I really liked the way the storyarc progressed in these two books. I also read The Daragh Deception by the same author, a SciFi novel set on a planet being colonized by humans. I started the second book in the series, The Concord Coalition. I’d like to find another audiobook to listen to as well, but I haven’t decided what I’m in the mood for.
