Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

We have a week (roughly) left in October, and while everyone has probably started to think about their November reading plans, why not take some time out to let the rest of us know your thoughts were on the great, and not so great(!), books that you read during this month.

Everyone is generally pretty keen to pick up some good recommendations. It's all very subjective, but ... that's life!

I'm yet to read a Nicholas Sparks book - I think I'd go through too many tissues! ;)

I read quite a few good books this month .
1.The Secret
2.Timeless Desire
3.Kiss an Angel
4.The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie
5.Dark Lover
6.Seducing Cinderella

Some great books in that list Karen... I'll be reading The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie in this last week of October - I'm really looking forward to it.

My favourite read so far this month was
. This is a pretty short story, but full of humour and choc-o-block full of crazy family moments :)

I also really enjoyed - it had a bit of repetitive narative which does annoy me, but I really liked storyline; it was fun for a detective story :)

My least favourite reads were:
- this audiobook was narrator by the author and it was just dreadful. I should have gone the paperback option...
- very ordinary. Just didn't engage me :(

It was and The Secret also :D

I would say my favorite was - I just love when the hero has been secretly in love with the heroine for so long :) I also enjoyed -so far my favorite of the series.

So far, I loved , 5 stars. Some were really good but not 5 stars (absolutely loved it and would re-read it).

My favorites for October so far are: and Very different books, but both were really, really good.

That cover for Emily and Einstein is just too cute - I want to read it for that reason alone!

Definitely

When I look back at October, a couple of books really stand out - Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage, When Beauty Tamed the Beast and All He Ever Needed - all were wonderful! But I feel I have to include Oracle's Moon and Changeless too, they were both excellent in audio and probably would have been stand outs if I hadn't listened/read the others. The Locker Room and Hearts in Darkness were super sweet! And I also enjoyed Club Shadowlands, reading the second right now.

Hmmm, looks like I am pretty easy to please.... Honestly, I did leave off several books though!

Bear, Otter and the Kid. Thank God I had the day off, I couldn't put it down!

Irish Moon by Amber Scott was alright, but I wasn't dying to finish it.

Hot Head by Damon Suede was great if you're into m/m.

Some of my favorites for the month...

I listened to the audio and I L.O.V.E.D. it! I was sitting in my car in the parking lot at work, I didn't want to get out!

I didn't read a whole lot in October but was awesome, as was which was super creepy (view spoiler)[demonically possessed porcelain dolls *shudder* (hide spoiler)].

LOL - I often feel like I'm too easy to please as well! But sometimes you just have a great reading month :)

Loved Hot Head - it was even better on the second time around ;)

And you can't beat the Cut & Run series...

I have Special Delivery in audiobook -hoping to read it after my holidays...

lots of great books this month but this is definitely MVP

Daughter of the Forest is comfort-food for me Ty. One of the best books out there definitely.

I cried and cried and cried and cried. My emotions were shredded. I guess that's comforting lol. No really, I definitely want to read the sequel, I just need to take a breather. whew, it was brutal.

I read quite a few books in October but the best were:

Ah, true. There are a lot of other stuffs that make up for it. And I love Marillier's prose. And for me it has never failed me to pick me up from a reading slump.
