Thank you both for the suggestions!

@ Moss -- I recently read . This isn't one of Ashley's paranormals, but it was an excellent read. If you like historical romance, it's well worth the time.

You might also give J.D. Robb's In Death series a try. Futuristic mystery/police procedurals and supernatural beings. First book

@ Moss I just recently read/listened to 3 pychological thrillers set in Dublin and written by an Irish author. I LOVED them.



I have also heard really good stuff about this book, which is also a psychological thriller:

@Daffodil: I've been trying to get my hands on the Ashley book for the longest time, but all the booksellers I use aren't coming through. Arg so frustrating and doubly so now that you've recc'ed it. Will try harder, it does look like lots of fun. Thanks!

@Steph: a psychological thriller might just do the trick too! I loathe Donna Tartt, she's so freakin Boston elite. But I've got the first French book on my next BD order. Thanks mate :)

Moss I actually discovered Tana French bc Stacia Kane rated her books 5 stars. That is what led me to her. :)

Its funny you use the phrase "palette cleanser" because I just said the same thing the other day! I started the October Daye series . A straight forward UF with a good heroine. Its a nice break from vampires/werewolves/PNR.

Welcome, Judithe. I'm lookin' to read more dragons too. So, I'll be hoppin' over to check out Sandra's shelf as well. :)

That was Regina, actually, but thanks for the shout out. ;)

Welcome to the group, Christen! It's always nice to have a good UF when the HEA are givin' ya a cavity.

I'm really enjoying Tessa Adam's 2nd Dragon's Heat book: . It's got my emotions all over the place --- super hot and sexy dragon love one minute and super sad dragon loss the next. I'm so happy to see #3 is due out later this year. She's spoiling me with releases so close together. Gonna have serious Dragonstar Clan withdrawal if she can't keep up this pace. ;)

I'm also liking so far, but I can tell that I'll need a "palette cleanser" book after these two hot PNRs.

I'll probably jump back into John Cleaver since I only have two other April books (both PNR) TBR and plenty of time to get to them later.

I'm hanging on to until closer to the 3rd books release. There was enough loss in the 1st book. LOL.

Reading for RRRC challenge and its a good change of pace from the paranormals, only a slight touch of magic in this series.

Whoops, sorry, thanks Regina! for the recs. I'm excited that Stacia Kane likes her, given my kind of stalker-ish obsession with her Downside Ghosts characters.

Yeah, there was, Sandra. More in Hidden as well. :( But such a good read. Really excited that #3 will be out this year.

I'm reading John Cleaver #2 for Fantasy Baseball trilogy-read.

Still listening to as I have time.

Soon to pick another read for our upcoming bingo shelf. ;)

Steph wrote: "Yeah, there was, Sandra. More in Hidden as well. :( But such a good read. Really excited that #3 will be out this year."

They're won't be any characters left if they keep bumping them off. LOL.

About to start for Bingo and various other challenges. Yay!

Seriously! But, in this one they mentioned something like 20,000 or 2,000 (dang, can't remember which - but, quite a bit) of the town's population were part of the Dragonstar clan. So, lots left, even if we haven't seen them much yet. :)

OK, I'm guessing 2,000 cause Dylan was worried they'd all be dead soon in

I wasn't sure, so I looked it up. This is what was said, "Phoebe had told her last night that the population was close to twenty thousand and that just about everyone was a member of the Dragonstar clan." Think that means they are all dragons?

That or mates, maybe. Still 20,000 is a lot. So OK they can kill off a couple. LOL.

Good morning, ladies!
I'm enjoying some days off in the north of Spain, coming to my cousin's wedding. Gorgeous landscape, very green. And the house lays between the mountain and the sea.

I brought with me many books but I'm actually not getting too much time to read. Whenever I get the chance and grab a book, I'm overwhelmed by the sounds of nature, the wind, the birds, the crickets.. I don't get any of this in Madrid..

So, I'm currently reading . Oh my, Kate is so much fun!! And her+Curran are the best!

I try to keep up with you but I the Internet here is practically nonexistent.

Enjoy nature and the wedding CA, and of course Kate & Curran. LOL!

Currently Reading: &

Both are BSB possibilities & "Frost Moon" is a buddy read I'm doing with AH. FYI, "Frost Moon" is free at Netgalley right now. The publisher/author is automatically accepting requests, which is how I got my copy. Apparently from what AH told me, there's no expiration date, so it's like a freebie.

I believe it is free on Amazon too ....... oh I guess not anymore. I had gotten it free from Amazon awhile ago.

I read it today all in one go, start to finish. Just when I think that I'm going to give up on YA after some of the crap I've read (you know the ones I'm talking about...), a book comes along that reminds me why I still go to the YA section. Such a great book IMO. It kind of reminded me of the Dream Catcher series a little (but better I reckon). Chilling but sweet at the same time, a nice balance :)

So it's good? I just bought it today. Now I'm excited to read it.

I got that one free a while ago too, Regina. Hope you enjoy it, Lethal. I haven't read it yet, so I'll be interested to hear what you think once you're done.

Enjoy, CA. Sounds beautiful! Happy Wedding!

Nearly 70% done with #2 Jaz A fairly fast read and I'm enjoying it.

Alyssa wrote: "So it's good? I just bought it today. Now I'm excited to read it."

Well I liked it! Hope you do too :)

Ooh Northern Spain....have fun CA, you lucky duck!

While waiting for my palate cleansers to arrive, I'm reading , and so far it's bloody good. Has uplifted the spirits somewhat. Yay!

I am reading .

Read (3 stars) and reading which is a lot sweeter than I thought for the subject matter.

About to start our BOM & one I've got for a few challenges . Hope it's good.

Lookin' forward to your review, Sandra.

Hope you enjoy LoTU, Jackie!

Ames, I'll have to check out your review of Hunting Human. I've got Bran's Story TBR too.

I'm about 5 chapters into and just getting into it.

I just finished the first two were 3 stars and the last one 3.5 stars.

I am still reading v and am now reading

I am trying to decide what to listen to

I finished over the last week . they were all 4 stars and I'm looking forward to more books from Alice Hoffman.

I'm currently on and for my arty needs, lol.

Regina, I read Year of Wonders a while ago and remember that I quite enjoyed it.

Kerstin's so artsy fartsy. LOL! J/K! I need to add a bit of variety to my reads, but there are just so many paralicious reads to be read.

Hope everyone continues to enjoy their good reads!

I thought it might be interesting to spice up my reading a bit. But as you can see I'm also reading "Rogue", as I wouldn't want to start suffering from UF/PNR withdrawal, lol!

LOL! I was just teasin' ya. Like I said, I really should vary my reads, but I never stray too far from the paraworld.

<3 <3 <3

Just finished with the Jeanne C Stein series with and , then got a PNR Breed fix with and Primal Kiss from .

Currently reading thru the rest of the Kitty series and working on and started listening to .

Christen wrote: " <3 <3 <3"

Yay! Another member of the tribe! You have such a treat in store for you with books #2 and #3. Wish I could read them for the first time again....

Finished and on Saturday.

Had Easter dinner with the extended family a week early on Sunday, lots of yummy food!

I have since started and . I was going back and forth between the first two, picked up WFH from the library last night and started reading the Jeaniene Frost story. I also picked up Pale Demon from the library, so now I don't know which way I'm going. LOL.

Daffodil you are busy! Scandal in Spring is one I have on my Kindle but just haven't gotten to yet, for some reason I am not racing to read it.

@Kerstin -- thank you! I started Year of Wonders, I now realize what she lost (in terms of loved ones) and it breaks my heart. :(

Criss Cross -- is soooo good! I wish it wasn't so short though.

I cannot wait for Downside Ghosts #4. Love that series.

It was quite a heartbreaking story, Regina. If I remember correctly I shed a few tears.

Kerstin -- I just listened to the part where (view spoiler)[she talks about how at night her arms reach for her babies while she is sleeping. :( I do the same thing and that just broke my heart. (hide spoiler)] However, the writing is beautiful.

Big thanks to I think its Steph and Sandra who where talking about the Tessa Adams books. I was looking for a dragon book for a chalenge and nothing was catching my eye until these. So ordered the fist one and finished it in just over a day. Could have finished in a day but couldn't help but watch DWTS ahh Maks. starting the second one today.

Anita the covers are beautiful.

So I plowed through

I gave up on Year of Wonders due to the emotional distress factor, I can't deal with painful and tormenting death of young kids right now. But the narration was beautiful and the writing was just gorgeous. I started the audio of and I was bored, so I deleted it off my iPhone (an overdrive checkout) and am now listening to and it is really good so far.

I am still reading

But I need to read some netgalleys, first reads and early review from librarything books. I have these to all read for review from those three places in the next week!



I think I will start with Stranger Here Below.

Finished -I could never make it as a slave in this world *shudders* A very good story.

Reading

Glad you're enjoying the dragons Anita :)

Finished our BOM and gave it 4 stars. I put a short review over on the BOM thread if you're interested.

Deciding what to read next, possibly for the random list over on RRRC.

How is Circle of Fire? I've really wanted to try that series, but had availability issues. Another reason to get a Kindle...

Glad you're enjoying them, Anita. I'm anxiously awaiting #3 later this year. :)

I'm interested in CoF too, Ames.

I recently started and it's brought the gaggle of girls back together again. Nina is always a hoot. This series is one that I know will be a light, quick read with lots of funny BFF banter. Plus, got a hottie cougar shifter in this one, never a bad thing. *Roar* >;)

Are you feeling better Regina? It's good to see you reading again!

I've been in a terrible slump over the last week or so, and I blame Stacia Kane. Ever since I finished the Downside Ghosts books everything has seemed pale and fizzless by comparison. So I went ahead and ordered all her Megan Chase books, and started today, and while it's VERY different so far from the DG series, it's still really good. So am a happy camper, for now.

Also finished a day or two ago and whew, that was one really challenging book.

Moss, I'll be interested to read your final thoughts on Kane's "Megan Chase" series. I've been wondering if I'd like those, after enjoying her "Downside Ghosts" as well.
