Whatcha reading?

August 28, 2008 | Filed under: Stuff

So I’m going on a reading kick and want to know what’s floating your boat lately. I just finished in quick succession Sweet Talk by Susan Mallery (which was excellent), More Than Friends by Maureen Child (also most excellent) and The Education of Mrs. Brimley by Donna MacMeans (my first historical in a long time and it was a nice surprise). Next up, Tribute, by my favorite, Nora Roberts.

Now you? What are you reading? I’d love to hear what you’re LOVING, as I am looking for recommendations.

Oh, and as incentive to make you like me, I’ll be drawing names from the commenters and giving away books. So let’s hear from ya!

    I wasn’t sure about the premise, but ended up really enjoying Linda Howard’s Death Angel and Robyn Carr’s Virgin River trilogy is wonderful.

  3. Judy F says:

    I a going to buy Marianne Stilling’s Killer Charms after my lunch meeting today. I can’t wait! I love her books.

  6. Laura says:

    I’m reading Susan Wiggs’ Just Breathe for pleasure. But since classes just started up I’ll be required to start The House of Mirth by Emily Wharton I think? I’ve heard it’s good (of course I heard that from my instructor so…)

  7. Karen K says:

    Am almost half way thru Real Men Do It Better anthol and then will read Diana Palmer’s lastest.

    Then will get to Mallery’s – enuf waiting already. LOL.

    Am looking so forward to this 3 day weekend.

  9. Pat L. says:

    I forgot Cutting Loose by Susan Andersen – v.g. too. Thanks Judy F, for reminding me and also have Robyn Carr’s Virgin River series on my tbr. :fryingpan:

  10. Tina L says:

    I just finished Just One of the Guys by Kristan Higgans. It was pretty good. I picked up a pile of half price paperbacks (35 cents each!) from goodwill the other day so I have Learning Curves by Gemma Townley, Some Girls Do by Leanne Banks, The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaghlin and Nocola Kraus, Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Cusuie and Years AND Spring Fancy by LaVyrle Spencer all on my TBR pile.

  11. Bailey Stewart says:

    I’m reading Flash something, followed by Flash something and ending with another Flash something.

    I hope Gustav stays away from you Melissa.

  12. Sonya says:

    I’m finishing Wild Card by Lora Leigh and moving on to Death Angel by Linda Howard after that. Looking forward to Always Look Twice, the third Callahan brothers book, by Geralyn Dawson. The first two books were really great!

  13. Julie K says:

    Tara Janzen’s Loose and Easy. It ROCKS as does the rest of her books…highly, HIGHLY recommend them!! Then I am on to Wild Card.
    Julie

  14. Heather Harper says:

    I’m reading Lilith Saint Crow’s Jill Kismet series right now. I’m also patiently waiting for November 4 when I can read Casting Spells by Barbara Bretton.

    I love Babs. :heart:

  15. Patty L. says:

    I was going to recommend “Just One of the Guys” by Kristin Higgins, but it’s been done and then I was going to recommend “Sweet Talk” but realized that you had already read that. I seen a recommendation for “Cutting Loose” by Susan Andersen and since I want that book that was nice to see that somebody’s recommending it. As far as what I’m reading right now, I am totally addicted to HQ’s Nascar line. Two books come out every month or so and they are all well written and a quick HEA read. Love that in a book. I also read this book by an author named Jill Shalvis called “Flashback” excellent.

  16. Elen says:

    At the top of my bedroom pile is Christina Dodd – Into the Flame, Nora Roberts – Tribute. As it happens, Jill, I’m just about to begin your Strong and Sexy. lol And, tapping my fingers waiting for JoAnn Ross – Crossfire.

    Does anyone reread? I spent part of the summer rereading some Elizabeth Peters. I love her Vicki Bliss mysteries.

  17. sls-rainey says:

    I am going thru what I beleive is my thousands of books (may be less, doesn’t seem like it) and trying to pull out the don’t likes and doubles. I just re-read Catherine Anderson’s Phantom Waltz. I liked this Kendrick/Coulter series in small doses. This month I caught up on Shadow Hawk and the 2 Flash books. I’m starting fractured by Karin Slaughter. I’ll read that with in a day or two and then be hunting thru the old pile to re-read some more. I find myself re-reading the series by Justine Carey alot, and the young adult series by Tamora Pierce. I could keep going. I love books! :!: :!:

  18. Margaret McDonagh says:

    I’ve just finished the latest in the magical village series by CHRISTINA JONES. Called HAPPY BIIRTHDAY, it has all the wonderful warmth, humour, emotion and superb cast of characters you always get with Christina’s books. Some appearances by favourite characters but plenty of new ones. Brilliantly eccentric, laugh-out-loud funny, people you wish were your friends, and just leaves you feeling contented and longing for her next book. A must read. (This series started with Hubble Bubble but each book stands alone, although more fun if you read them in order. Same as her previous stupendous run of books which began with Going The Distance.) I cannot recommend these highly enough. I just wish I had a fraction of her talent.

    I have Flashpoint and Flashback on the top of my TBR pile as a lure and a reward for making my next deadline! (Unfortunately I cannot read romances while trying to write one.) In the meantime I am reading an autobiography of one of the UK’s best athletes, Colin Jackson, who retired in 2003.

    Love,
    Mags xx

  19. Dee Thompson says:

    I just finished Sail, by James Patterson and it’s a really good page turner. Not much romance, but a great story.

  20. Dru says:

    The last five books that I’ve read were Pitch Black by Susan Crandall, Fuzzy Navel by J.A. Konrath, Wild for Him by Janelle Denison, Watch Me by Brenda Novak and Cutting Loose by Susan Andersen.

  21. Nina says:

    MaryJanice Davidson “Sleeping with the Fishes” (two books in series)
    Janet Evanovich (all books)
    Mark Haddon “The Curious Incident with the Dog in the Nighttime”
    Jasper Fforde “The Eyre Affair” (it helps if you read “Jane Eyre” first)
    Edith Wharton “The Age of Innocence”
    Toni Morrison “Love”
    Clive Cussler (any one of his books)

    Those are the ones I can think of now.

    Is there anyone else out there that has the problem of having more books than space in bookshelves?

    Nina

  22. leah says:

    Let’s see, I’ve been reading student handbooks, permission slips, homework assignments. None of those have particularly inspired me.
    The only book I’ve read in forever is Making Children Mind without Losing Yours. However, I’ve only read the first two chapters because I am not quite up to the work this book is going to require I do to actually get my children to mind me. Ugh!

  23. Karen B says:

    Twenty Wishes – Debbie Macomber
    Needled to Death – Maggie Sefton (reading the series)
    Now You See Me – Tina Wainscott
    August Moon – Jess Lourey (reading the series)

  24. Tina says:

    I just finished Sandra Brown’s Smoke Screen, which is an excellent book.

    I’m re-reading the Key trilogy by Ms Nora.

    I don’t drink, (alot) I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs (Does advil or motrin count?) So my vice is reading, which if you think about it is probably cheaper than therapy or a murder trail.

  25. Jen(aside) says:

    I’ve been on a sci-fi/fantasy kick lately. I just finished up 1632 by Eric Flint. I loved it. http://www.amazon.com/1632-Assiti-Shards-Eric-Flint/dp/0671319728/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219930426&sr=8-1

  26. Cheryl M. says:

    I just finished Cindy Gerard’s “Show No Mercy” for review, and it was awesome. I’m reading a new series by Anna Windsor right now about 3 female “Warriors” who are trying to save the world from demons; “Bound by Shadow” is the first book in the series,and then I will also be picking up “Wild Card”, I love Lora Leigh ;- )

  27. Crystal B. says:

    I am reading Pleasure Unbound by Larissa Ione. It is good.
    Next on my list is The Lost Duke of Wyndham.

  28. sls-rainey says:

    Nina — “Is there anyone else out there that has the problem of having more books than space in bookshelves?”

    Shelves! What shelves. Boxes after boxes. Stacks and piles. E-Books (what a fabulous invention)

    I forgot e-books when listing – at 11:00pm last night I downloaded Kathy Reichs – Devil Bones and Kay Hooper – If there be Dragons. I’ve seen alot of books mentioned here I have on my wish list. I’m going to need to work overtime to afford them all. (sigh) that means less reading time. :roll:

  29. Sharon Cullen says:

    I’m reading Susan Mallery’s Sweet Talk as well. I really like it although I felt like the hero was more a secondary character throughout the first half.

    I’m also completely addicted to Robyn Carr’s Virgin River series. She does an excellent job of weaving all of her storylines together. I’m anxiously awaiting the library to deliver the 3rd one to me.

  30. Liza says:

    I’ve read several books over the past 3 weeks that I’ve really liked. The Darkest Kiss and The Darkest Pleasure by Gena Showalter are books 2 and 3 from her Lords of the Underworld series. I love these books and can’t wait for the rest of the books in the series. I also read Feast of Fools by Rachel Caine, One Night in Memphis by Allie Boniface, and Dance of Seduction by Elle Kennedy.

    I’m currently reading Marked by PC Cast and Kristin Cast and loving it. It is a YA book, but a great story so far…really hated to put it down to come to work.

  31. abby says:

    Sorry. It’s a long list. lol Some of these are from this year. Some are over the last couple of years.

    ** Sweet Talk and Sweet Trouble by Susan Mallery are both great books! I also LOVE Falling for Gracie (the reissue will come out Jan 09).
    ** Not Another Bad Date by Rachel Gibson
    ** Dinner First, Me Later? by Candy Halliday (I absolutely LOVED this book! It’s funny and sexy.) The first story in this series is great too! It’s called: You’re Bed or Mine?
    ** If you enjoy paranormal romances, Gena Showalter’s Lord of the Underworld Series (Darkest Night, Darkest Kiss, and Darkest Pleasure) is amazing! Seriously…
    ** More paranormal romances, Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changeling series (Slave to Sensation, Visions of Heat, Caressed by Ice, Mine to Possess, and Hostage to Pleasure) is fabulous. It makes you think, but it’s sooo good!
    ** If you enjoy historical romances, Kresley Cole’s MacCarrick Brothers series (If You Dare, If You Desire, and If You Deceive) is great! It’s about three Scottish brothers.
    ** If you enjoy sports romance stories, I would suggest reading any of Kate Angell (baseball romance stories) or Deidre Martin’s (hockey romance stories) stories.
    ** Any of Jennifer’s Crusie’s books (i.e. Anyone But You, Welcome to Temptation, Crazy for You, Bet Me, etc.)

    Currently reading Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife by Linda Berdoll. Gotta love Mr. Darcy. LOL

  35. Rowena says:

    I’m finishing up The Edge of Desire by Stephanie Laurens (pretty good) and then I’m going to go back to The Smart One by Ellen Meister (not what I expected).

    I just finished Sweet Talk too, how did you like Nicole?

  36. Deb says:

    I, unfortunately, didn’t have a lot of reading time this summer – dang new job!

    I am currently reading the tho latest SHOMI releases:

    HIDDEN – Eve Kenin (So, SOOOOOO very good)

    &

    COUNTDOWN – Michelle Maddox (I read this in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down)

    :lol:

  37. Barbara says:

    Oh my goodness! I have so many, but my absolute favorite book (besides yours of course) is The Immortal Highlander by Karen Marie Moning. It’s HOT, and STEAMY, and AWESOME! It’s actually just come out in paperback not too long ago so you can find it at Wal-Mart. Karen Marie Moning has also written the “Fever” series – Darkfever, Bloodfever, and Faefever (out Sept 16). They are a departure from her other writing, but they are wonderful just the same! They are so well written. You will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!

    One last book if you’re looking for one that will shake your world – The Crossroad’s Cafe by Deborah Smith is a beautifully written story. It’s about the healing power of love and is so poignant, you will stop and just re-read some paragraphs just for the pleasure of it. Enjoy!!!

  38. Randi says:

    I just finished Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer…more than a little disappointed and I was so looking forward to it.
    Overnight Sensation by Karen Foley was a good read and I now I am on to All or Nothing by Debbi Rawlins.
    I have Flashpoint and Flashback on my TBR pile…I look forward to reading your books that I wait awhile once I have them!

  39. Casee says:

    I’m in a serious slump and it really sucks.

    So I’ve just been re-reading all my SEP’s. I freaking love her.

  40. Carol says:

    Blood Red is a great paranormal by Heather Graham. And on to the other extreme, I just finished Sweet Talk and Sweet Trouble by Susan Mallery. Not to mention Cutting Loose by Susan Anderson. All were keepers for me!

  42. Lynn R. says:

    I am currently reading “Plain Truth” by Jodi Picoult. A great story about an Amish 18 yr. old un wed girl who gives birth and the newborn turns up dead. I am half way through it. A big time NY Attny. comes to her aid to defend her and ends up moving in w/ the Amish family to keep her out of jail until the trial. I can’t wait until the end to see how it turns out.

  43. Alyssa says:

    I’m reading Jo Goodman’s The Price of Desire, a historical romance. It’s quite good!

    :grin:

  44. Sue says:

    Just finished New Moon, by Stephanie Meyer. I’m loving the Twilight series!

  45. Jill says:

    I did already read the Crossroad’s Cafe, and LOVED it. Also everything by Evanovich and Susan Elizabeth Philips, who doesn’t write fast enough in my opinion! And another favorite, Tara Janzen. To be HALF as talented as these ladies!!!

    But I’m excited about having so many recommendations to choose from! Keep ‘em coming!

  46. Allie says:

    I recently read Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs and it was excellent. I read the most recent Sookie Stackhouse and enjoyed that–it had a fun ending. Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale was good.

    Right this minute I am reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I have them all in the UK version, which is fun. The words are all what the author wrote and not Americanized. :) I tell people I am reading Harry Potter in his native language. ;)

    On my list for after I finish rereading the HP series is Dark Light by Jayne Castle, Dog Detectives by Kat Albrecht, Get Connected With Your Dog by Brenda Aloff, The Rider’s Problem Solver by Jessica Jahiel, and Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper by Sark. I have an enormous TBR pile but those are the ones on the top. My reading ranges far and wide. :)

  47. Katie says:

    Just finished Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyers, good read but not my favorite of her Twilight series.

    Next up is Fearless Fourteen by Janet Evanovich. I’ve been busy studying for my teaching certification testing, so reading isn’t a high priority right now!

    So glad to see more of your books coming out this fall/winter!

  48. Allie says:

    I forgot all about Breaking Dawn and Fearless Fourteen, darn it. :) I loved those. Breaking Dawn was fantastic. I was very satisfied with the ending of the series. I read The Host earlier this year by Stephenie Meyer and loved it. I hope she writes a few more in that world.

  49. cheryl c. says:

    I have read quite a variety of authors lately. These are my most recent reads, and I enjoyed them all. :thumbsup:

    OMG! I am LOVING Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series and I’m currently on “Eleven Big Ones.” Yes, I realize I am late to the game. I also just finished Nalini Singh’s fifth installment in her Psy/Changeling series, “Hostage to Pleasure” which was FANTASTIC. :grin: :grin:

  51. Cathy M says:

    I just finished all three of Patricia Brigg’s, Mercy Thompson series, sooo good. And today will start Anna Windsor’s third book, Bound By Light, which is another fantastic paranormal series.

  53. Darlene says:

    I have three of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s books from eons ago. Much to my surprise I came across this book “Invisible Allies” and had to get it. The interesting thing about this book (so far) is the spelling of his first name, it’s now Aleksandr. I’ll start reading this book tonight. I hope it’s as good as the other three that I have.

  54. sarah says:

    I’ve been reading a lot of free books from Nationals…
    As soon as I can get an ereader downloaded on my iPhone, I’ll be getting Strong and Sexy, and I think I’m behind on the Flash-series from Blaze. :)

  55. sarah says:

    HA – Literally just opened a fortune cookie with my Chinese take-out lunch… it says:
    “Read a novel – and learn more about life.” — In Bed. ;)

    They are now public service announcements instead of fortunes, I guess.

  56. Ashley says:

    Alright here we go… I’ve recently finished The Chicago Stars series by Susan Elizabeth Phillips and loved them, I devoured them in a week and “Are You there, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea” by Chelsea Handler, it was freaking hilarious, and “Just One Bite” by Kimberly Raye, also just finished an anthology featuring Kimberly Raye called “Burning Up”. I just started an anthology called “What happens in Vegas…” (I’m trying to get geared up for my trip to Vegas in 2 weeks!) And on my TBR pile next is “sTORI TELLING” by Tori Spelling, and “Secrets of a Shoe Addict” by Beth Harbison. I saw a series I hope to purchase next by Carly Phillips, The Simply Series, they look like good reads.
    I have the same problem as some of the others, not enough room on the bookshelveS!!

  57. Holly says:

    I’m reading Time Transit by Kay Austin. So far so good, but it’s early yet. We’ll see.

    Finished Flashpoint last night by Jill someone or other. Then I read Flashback by the same Jill someone or other. Awful books, those. So awful, in fact, I had to read them again. :wave:

  58. Carrie says:

    I just finished reading The Bride of Casa Dracula by Marta Acosta. I read it for review (it comes out 9/16). There is a review of that on my site, http://www.thebookgirl.net. Here are others that I have read lately and really enjoyed:

    Well sometime after laundry, dishes, floors(swept and mopped, straigen apartment get done I plan on getting Dirty with Megan Hart. Haven’t read anything that made me go “wow” lately. Read three Kelsey Roberts books from her Landry Brothers series. Film at Eleven, Charmed and Dangerous, The Last Landry. Read 2 ebooks Another Man’s Wife by Denyse Bridger and Dirty Little Lies by Tawny Taylor. The Humbug Man by Diana Palmer was a short feel good Christmas story.

  63. Nancy L. says:

    I just finished Flashback and Flashpoint. Loved them!!!! I also just read Rachel Gibson’s and LuAnn McLane’s latest. Currently reading at the same time Leslie Kelly’s Blaze double-hitter.
    Poor Sadie!!!! I have a Sadie,too–Indy, except she is the opposite; she is always chasing after any bug that flies into the house and the spiders-the havoc she makes chasing those flying bugs–there’s no space in my house she has not been on top of and she climbs the curtains!!!!

  64. Mary says:

    I’ve been cleaning house, and came upon an older book I had forgotten about – Joleen Daniels “Inheritance.” I need to get some newer books to read!!!

  70. april says:

    I loved Susan Mallery’s series (well, 2/3 of it so far). I can’t wait for the third.

    I’m reading Susan Wiggs’s Just Breathe now, but Flashback also came in the same delivery so I look forward to that one as well.

    I’ve been on a pseudo historical phase – Suzanne Enoch, Celeste Bradley, Samantha James. It’s unusual for me, but it’s a nice change of pace.

    I’m really looking forward to Tess Gerritsen’s Keepsake in a couple of weeks, too.

  71. Susan Mallery says:

    Wow–thrilling to see so many people are reading the “Sweet” books. Thanks. As Jill pointed out, knowing people are reading and enjoying the books is always fabulous!!

    My big read? Learning to Love Your Curly Hair. :eek: I’ve yet to do that, so I’d better get started.

  72. Cheryl S. says:

    I’ve been in a mood for romantic suspense lately (in my reading that is). Just finished Alibi in High Heels by Gemma Halliday (love all the High Heel books so far). I’m about a quarter of the way through The Arrangement by Suzanne Forster. It’s very suspenseful and a real page-turner. I’m really enjoying it.

  73. Fannie says:

    I have been on the sick list this past couple of months so A lot of reading went on. Here is a partial list. Not in any kind of order, of course.
    Flashback & Flashpoint–Jill Shalvis

    Turbulent Sea–Christine Feehan (really good)
    In Confidence–Karen Young

    Nightwalker series–Jacqueline Frank
    Sherrilyn Kenyon books

    There are more but my mind is a blank right now. With all the helpful suggestions, you should find something to suit your mood. Happy reading and hugs to all.

  74. SALLYE CARBERRY says:

    I LOVE LISA KLEYPAS BOOKS, THEY ARE AWSOME, I ALSO LOVE YOUR BOOKS, VICTORIA ALEXANDER BOOKS AND I RE-READ A LOT OF MAUREEN CHILDS OLD BOOKS, FAMILY SERIES AND THE MARINE SERIES BOOKS OF A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
    I FIND A GOOD BOOK AND I DO RE-READ IT AFTER A FEW MONTHS. NORA ROBERTS IS ALWAYS A VERY GOOD RE-READ.

  75. Joyce says:

    Death Angel by Linda Howard, Silent Thunder by Iris and Roy Johansen, and I am just finishing The Deadliest Strain by Jan Coffey which I don’t recommend for the faint of heart.

  76. Janet says:

    I just finished the HOT ZONE series by Carly Phillips,(cutte and funny will put you in a good mood) and before that was the Flash books by Jill because I have a serious thing for sexy firefighters (hubby is one). The books were great but all your books are. Today I started Hell On Heels By Julie Kenner, Kathleen O’Reilly, and Dee Davis. I read their first book and it was really good so I’m hoping this one will be to.

  77. Amy says:

    Just finished Rosemary Clement Moore’s Prom Dates From Hell.

    Am currently reading The Concordia of School Forms, a riveting tale of transportation plans, checkbook hemorrhaging, and school policies.

  78. Ann M. says:

    I finished your Flashback during vacation earlier this week and last night finished Jill Monroe’s Primal Instinct.

  79. Kathleen says:

    I just finished reading “Sweet Talk” too! I then quickly moved on to reading the next book in the series “Sweet Spot.” Both awesome books and can’t wait to read “Sweet Trouble!”

  80. Diane W says:

    I have read many of titles mentioned above this summer, so I will not repeat them. Some titles that I have read and have not been mentioned are:
    -Aussie Rules, by Jill Shalvis
    -Nauti Boy, by Lora Leigh
    -Nauti Nights, by Lora Leigh
    -Nauti Dreams, by Lora Leigh
    And I have re-read two of my favorites of all time by the author I consider the Queen of Romance, Judith McNaught. Paradise and the follow-up story, Perfect are great examples of her writing style that just grabs me and pulls me in. I cry and bite my nails as the characters struggle to be together,and reach for a cold drink when they do! I must have read each book four or five times. VERY GOOD!!!

  81. jeanne says:

    Anything by Jodi Picoult – I just finished Change of Heart and started Songs of the Humpback Whale. She’s written 19 books and I’ve probably read half of them so far. They’re all in my tbr pile. Also The Shack by William Young – very thought provoking. I too enjoyed The Education of Mrs. Brimley by Donna MacMeans.

  82. Kris says:

    Currently I am reading Storm Born by Rachelle Mead, good so far.
    Just finished Hard to Get by Alyssa Brooks (very good), Dangerous Pleasures by Bertrice Small (not as good), and Night Lost by Lynn Viehl (very good).

  83. Shelly says:

    Hmmm….let’s see. I am reading Molecular Structure of the Cell, Biology by Campbell 8th Edition and Chemistry by Soderburg 5th Edition….. all (3) of which weigh 22 lbs and cost $565.00 total!…. non of which I recommend (unless you are masochistic or have some crazy idea in your head that you want to become a pet doctor some day…. at this moment I can’t decide which I am). :whip:

    The upside is that I have your blog to bribe myself with if I do my reading, thus allowing me five minutes of pure fun and enjoyment in between drowning in a sea of polypeptides and periodic tables. Short answer is: I am reading your blog for fun these days. Thank God for you! :yes:

  84. Cryna says:

    I have been reading somewhat over the summer. What I have read are:

    Traceless, Nameless and Faceless by Debra Webb
    Sweet Talk, Sweet Spot by Susan Mallery
    Flashback, Flashpoint by Jill Shalvis
    Hot Property by Carly Phillips
    And a couple of Intrigues and Silhouette Romance Suspense

  85. Sarita Leone says:

    I just finished One Night, One Baby by Kate Hardy. Next on the pile is Caretti’s Forced Bride by Jennie Lucas.

    Yes, I’m having a romance marathon here! :smile:

  86. Angie-la says:

    I am reading “The Shack” by William P. Young.
    It is helping me deal with the loss of one of the three most precious people in my life…. :cry:

  87. cheryl c. says:

    Angie-la said,
    “It is helping me deal with the loss of one of the three most precious people in my life.”

    Angie-la, my prayers have been sent your way. I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I am the mother of 2 boys, so I know how devastating this must be for you. Stay strong and know that people who don’t even know you are praying for you!

  88. JL says:

    This “Jill” person has two new books out, so I went and bought those. I can’t say I read them, because “devoured” is a more accurate description. They’ve been bouncing around the house, from room to room, whenever the rereading mood strikes me. I also just recently finished reading “Acheron” by Sherrilyn Kenyon (my husband was disgusted that I plowed through a 750+ page book in about three days, even with three very little ones running amok here). And I was bad last night when I ran to the grocery store. Picked up “Wild for Him” by Janelle Denison, and so far, I’m enjoying it.

  89. Jill says:

    Angie, I am devastated for you. There are no words, really, except I am sure we all are thinking of you. Hugs.

  90. trish canfield says:

    high noon – NORA ROBERTS – excellent
    FLASHPOINT AND FLASHBACK – JILL S. – loved :wave: :wave:
    also SERVANT THE AWAKENING – L.L. FOSTER
    NOT MY USUAL GENRE —- BUT IT WAS EXCELLENT!!!!!!!

  91. kim h says:

    the art of seduction is great by sheri whitefeater, the fortune hunter by jasminie haynes is great.
