Oh wow that sounds like deer w/ us over here in the US Sonya. Is that a big problem for you?

I'll be starting my last May review for RT today it's not a HQN I did however just put all my May HQN series to bed for them.

It's cold brrrr here this week too. I'm ready for Spring!!

I put my library books and ebooks on my "currently reading" list here at Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ so I don't lose track of what I have available and can keep track of things, so here, it looks like I'm reading a bunch of books at once. But usually I have no more than two going at once, 1 ebook and one paper book. I read pretty fast so I don't need to read them at once.

I just got into the Night Stalkers series by M.L. Buchman, which is Excellent. (military romance) Just got book 2 in the series- I Own The Dawn- but I may peek at one of the others I have on my list...

Brrr! Cold is right! I have a high of -6F and a low of -15F, wind chill brings it to -35F. At least school was cancelled so I didn't have to leave the house today.

I'm reading a good book for penquin first reads that I have to review called girl underwater by claire kells. hopefully will finish it today if not tomorrow.

Cold around here means anything in the 30sF. So it's only cold-ish. I decided to read The Truth About Jane Doe, by Linda Warren, but I do have some books picked out for other letters.

Here in the capital city, yes. They call Canberra the 'Bush Capital' because it's 70% bushland.
Which means you can expect to at least see hundreds of kangaroos every day, even if you don't always hit them!

I'm reading It's a brilliant series.

I just read a review copy of the latest one. He does an amazing amount of research for his books.

Well here in the land Down Under it has been very hot lately although now summer is coming to an end. I for one am very happy. Don't like the heat, except in my romance books!

I'm not a fan of summer either which is why I rarely complain about winter. I'm not a fan of polar winds though. I could do without the crazy wind chill temps.

I'm currently reading the Hot SEALs series by Cat Johnson.

I'm just starting

Debbie - as far as I know we don't have the Nook here... :/

Ooh I read the first Cabot Sisters book last month (The Trouble with Honor) and it was SO GOOD!! I hadn't read Julia London before but I'll definitely be continuing on with that series.

Gone With the Wind...my local book club choice. 1010 pages. Tiny print. It feels like I'm at the start of a marathon!

Just started an ARC of this one:

Today I finished part 1. Ashley has just come home from the war...

GWTW is one of my all-time favs, Annie. Started it one summer in high school and read continuously (you know, the days before work and and family and responsibility, when you **could** just do nothing but read if you wanted) until I finished. My eyes were so tired by then, I could hardly see in the distance! Then (disastrously) I somehow managed to pick it up at exam time in college. Tired of reading all the stuff we HAD to read, I just couldn't resist reading this favorite again. Love it!

I've never read Gone With the Wind, but then it's not really on literature class reading lists in Australia... I should give it a go one day.

I'm also racing through Sylvia Day's Crossfire series, which is odd because it's not usually the type of book I'd read.

I did something similar during my final exams at university. The day before my biggest test I spent the whole afternoon reading !

I'm reading it in bed every night for half an hour (my reading time).
Scarlett has married Frank Kennedy now because Rhett wouldn't give her the money for Tara's taxes...

I wish I could remember the code for a blushing smiley face because,uummm, I've never read GWTW or watched the movie. I know, I know. How can I claim to be an Historical fan and not read this book but maybe some day I'll get to it.

I loved her humor and the flow of her story. Can't wait for the next book The Scoundrel and the Debutante.

Started last night. :) :) :) I love the world Maria V. Snyder created and Yelena is an awesome Heroine. This is her 3rd trilogy based in this world and each one has gotten better and better and Shadow Study isn't disappointing.

Well, I'd never read it before this! The amazing thing is that as I'm reading the book, I keep seeing Vivien Leigh as Scarlett, and Clark Gable as Rhett...and also the stunning shots of Atlanta burning etc...It seems the film stayed very close to the book.

I'm currently reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and The Time Traveling Fashionista and Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile by Bianaca Turetsky for work and I'm enjoying both. For pleasure, I'm reading Owning Violet by Monica Murphy and Cognitive Therapy for Dummies. I also just borrowed Diary of a mad fat Girl by Stephanie McAfee and Flirting with Disaster by Victoria Dahl from the library. I hope to finish them all. LOL.

Golly! How do you manage to have so many books on the go at the same time Rakisha? I have to read one all the way through before I can start the next.

I am on a Beauty and the Beast Kick these are up next....
Beautiful Beast by Dani Sinclair
Beauty VS Beast by M.J. Rodgers

Any great suggestions are welcome!!!!

I have Read these so far
Beauty and the Beast by Amy Fetzer
Beauty and the Beast by Hannah Howell
Beauty and the Wolf by Marina Miles
The Bride and the Brute by Laurel O'Donnell
The Ruthless Billionaire's Virgin by Susan Stephens (HP with theme of Beauty and Beast)

right now I'm trying to concentrate on Cold cold heart by tami hoag, Saint anything by sarah dessen (a arc I'm reviewing) and Tangled by emma chase.

Beauty and the Badge by Julie Miller and Beauty and the Billionaire by Barbara Dunlop come to mind.

Oh thanks love Julie Miller for suspense.

I've finished Gone with the Wind. Am exhausted! And a bit upset by the ending...I feel as if I've been left hanging, even though I knew it was coming.

I do the same thing, my friends cant understand how I can read so fast. I read so many I cant keep track that why I like this site so I can do follow my favorite authors. right now I am reading the cabin fever series by Christie ridgeway. my library has been listing more eBooks so I guess I am going to invest in a e reader. I am glad I join this group so I can get suggestion on what to read next. thanks

I absolutely agree. I cannot keep up either. I am so glad I decided to come to good reads. It took awhile . I still keep a spread sheet on google docs of books i read and have So that I can access then on my phone when I am trolling around at used book stores.

I really need to update my phone so I can do this. I know people say they wouldn't know what to do if they lost their phones but mine wouldn't matter much. I have one of those pay-as-you-go, no plan Tracfones. I never access the net with it and have nothing but a few phone numbers stored on it. I use it more as a clock when I'm out than as a phone. LOL

Oh, I read that a while ago and really liked it.

I'm reading - a May release for Harlequin Historical. The low (early reviewer) rating on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ shocked me, because I'm more than halfway through and like it...

I know! I really enjoyed it too! Sometimes you have to take those ratings with a grain of salt.

I wish I could get my Nook to work correctly. It is difficult to load new books on it, takes 3 times of downloading before it might show up and then it won't let me delete items. Sometimes, I end up with several copies of the same book because of the downloading issues and then I can't get rid of them. I've started buying more Kindle books but that doesn't always work for me either but that is strictly a personal issue. My Nook is a B&W which works great for reading but not playing. My Kindle Fire works great for books BUT also great for apps like Facebook and Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ and countless game apps. I love playing games and can get lost in them for hours that I planned on reading. I do much better with a paperback in my hands. LOL

That being said, I just finished reading the latest Cynster novel by Stephanie Laurens, The Tempting of Thomas Carrick and picked Reunited with the Major (Mills & Boon Historical) by Anne Herries. Not only does it sound great but it helps me fill my reading challenge.

I'm currently reading a couple of historicals, The Husband Season by Mary Nichols and The Rake to Reveal Her by Julia Justiss. Plus, I'm reading It Must Be Your Love by Bella Andre. I need to finish them so I can get back to the rest of the books I need for the reading challenges. ~ Kim

Ooh some great reading choices. I'm just about to start my August 2015 review reading for RT Magazine which includes Emilie Richards next installment in her Goddess Anonymous series, this one is called



And I just finished reading

for my review in Library Journal

I'm reading, "Yuletide Protector (#6)" By Julie Miller. I'm loving it so far! This has been a great series so far again, She has great writing!

Back to Texas!Welcome to Ramblewood Book 5. New release out today by Amanda Renee. Love this series!!

:) Hannah, you made my day. Finally! There is another reader who proudly reads a great Christmas/winter themed book, no matter what time of year it is. I love to grab one from my keeper shelf whenever I need a pick-me-up.

Anna, I can practically feel your excitement jump at me. There is no way I can personally read every series and this is one I missed the beginning of so, with a judicious eye at my TBR pile, I decided to skip it. You have me second guessing that decision.

I've recently finished a small historical marathon including: Four Nights With the Duke by Eloisa James, The Rake to Reveal Her by Julia Justiss, The Husband Season by Mary Nichols, Accidental Fiancee by Mary Moore, Summer of the Viking by Michelle Styles, The Chaperon's Seduction by Sarah Mallory, Lucy Lane and the Lieutenant by Helen Dickson

I'm reading A Case For Forgiveness by Harlequin Heartwarming author Carol Ross. It recently received a 4.5 rating from RT Book Reviews. I'm enjoying it.

Power of Passion

I'm currently reading
Hold Me by Susan Mallery
From Wallflower to Countess by Janice Preston
Pooka in My Pantry by R.L. Naquin

I'm reading 3 books currently right now:

Only His by Susan Mallery
I JUST Want to Pee Alone by Jen Mann
Bending the Rules by Susan Anderson

I've fallen head over heels in love for the Susan Mallery Fool's Gold series!

Harlequin Books wrote: "I know! I really enjoyed it too! Sometimes you have to take those ratings with a grain of salt."

I'm lucky that almost 100% of the books I read are early review copies. So often I LOVE books that get bad reviews, and dislike books everyone raves about. So at least when I read them there aren't too many yet who have reviewed, so my opinion isn't influenced by others.

Sorry to hear of your Kindle woes Sonya.

I'm currently reading The Scoundrel and the Debutante by Julia London and I'm quite enjoying it.

I just finished the latest Fool's Gold romance by Susan Mallery, Hold Me. I just love this little town she has created and the characters are so easy to imagine as a close friend.
