Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

A new month, A new thread.

Drop by and tell us what you are currently reading.

Read (5*) for the Pick it for me challenge (I think I'll also put it in for the Highland romance in the Monthly Challenge): I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed TM:-)

And just finished , a cute Regency (3*), for the Read the Month Challenge:-)

Now deciding on what to read next:-)

reading at work (although I need to finish my stats assignment...but its just too early for my brain to function!)...got to finish up tonight and start and maybe . Listening to (house) and (car). Plus my first ARC that I won showed up in the mail the other day so I need to start that.

Lol Dee... I don't know how you manage to keep so many books in order!!!:-D I don't like starting on more than two, unless I have another I'm plowing my way through:-)

Had to take a break from PNR so I`m reading Darcys Passion,P&P told from his point of view.Not too bad.

Today I started by Sandra Brown. It's dark for a romance - really bad things happening to good people and bad guys getting away with murder - but so far, it's going great. The heroine has balls of steel - she wanted to do something and people told her not to because she was going to get into the bad side of one of the evil guys and when she couldn't convince anybody to help her, she did it herself! (And it was dangerous.) Love smart, gutsy heroines!

I'm starting

i'm plowing my wya through Moon Called...But one is the one I have at work (DTB), the other three are on kindle...and then one audiobook i'm listening to at home as I do schoolwork etc, the other in the car...and they are different enough that I can't get them confused

Haven't decided yet, as I was madly trying to finish some of the July challenges last night. Now I need to figure out the August ones

Currently reading:

I started and today for my challenges

I'm starting Wolf Tales I... 3 pages in and they're already going at it:-) Looks like a fun read:-D

Currently reading . and I'm about to dive back into it! I'm not so sure about Paige, but Savannah's cool! I loved her in . But, boy do I miss Elena. Much better narrator.

I'm still working on . I'm only a couple pages in but I have already lost interest so hopefully it'll get better, I'm determined to read it!!

Lol.. Finished , and they were still going at it :-D It was a nice hedonistic read, and although I'm not a fan of f/f and I skimmed that scene a bit, it was tastefully written :-) A really good erotic romance, and I'll need to buy the next two or three books:-)

I'm the odd one out reading suspense, except for DG.

Reading Daddy's Little Girlfor the Covers Challenge (nature and object) and for the Novel Ladies' Title and Stacks challenges. Love it when you can cross-reference challenges!

I'm reading and have on the go as well.

I'm currently halfway through ...brilliant so far (shame I have to work!)

I'm actively reading , but I have and on the backburner.

Started today.

My book-whorishness is shining through at the moment. I've currently got 4 I'm reading...

and still working on .

...okay and admittedly I have #5 in my upstairs bathroom.

Finished yesterday. Trying to finish now.

I'm reading Jane's Warlord by Angela Knight, Gaudy Night by Dorothy Sayers, and plan to start Burning Lamp by Amanda Quick as well as reread "The Story of Son" and "Father Mine" by JR Ward this week. I have The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie on audio in the car. I plan to go to the bookstore tomorrow, too. So many books, so little time!

I finished A Vow to Keep and also re-read Mistique by Amanda Quick

now reading

I'm in a bit of a fix, lol... i have too many books to choose from (over 1000!), and don't know what to read next! Any recs?:-)

Melanie - We have 193 books in common! But it's only showing 95 and you've read them all.

Just finished and reading

OK, Melanie, I found some (I didn't check the whole thing!) But I've read this bunch and I really liked them :) You have a lot of good Balogh in your shelf. :)

Lol:-) I'm browsing your bookshelves, saw you liked .. Which of these would you recommend? :-)

Lol.. just saw your post, thanks DG:-) I think I'll do a Mary Balogh or the SEP book:-) Let me have a look and decide:-) Thank you!

are they all on your bookshelfs...use a random number generator...use the first and last number, 1 and the number of books on the pile and then read the book that corresponds with the number you got

Melanie wrote: "Lol:-) I'm browsing your bookshelves, saw you liked..."

I liked them all! I didn't get to those on your shelf...If I had, I would have recommended all of those too. ;)

A bunch of those books are first in a series so if you like that one, then maybe you feel like continuing the series right away (I know you read really fast.)

lol DG.. that is usually what I do:-) I'm not a patient person:-) I'll probably start with A Summer to Remember or Something About You (see, lol, I'm narrowing it down:-p)

Dee.. that's a good idea for the future, thx:-) unfortunately I have most of my TBR on the floor of my room, lol (over 40 piles and a couple boxes full..) I'm still trying to separate the ones I won't read in the next couple months (those'll go to the attic for now, mostly the older bodice rippers, lol) from the ones that interest me most..

Thank you both:-)

Just to warn you though that A Summer to Remember has a prequel! (Yes, the prequel has a prequel.) The prequel is called One Night for Love but I didn't like that one as much...

Oh thx! I have that too... Do I need to read ONfL before AStR? :-)

I'm reading right now.

close your eyes and grab a book!

LOL...Thats how I would do it.

Melanie wrote: "Oh thx! I have that too... Do I need to read ONfL before AStR? :-)"

Yes. The heroine in AStR is the one that gets dumped in ONfL and a lot of her hangups come from that.

good choice tammy ashes one of my fav I am reading sweet surrender I know a lot of the girls read this. not bad so far

I'm working on a re-read of Gentle Warrior by Julie Garwood, but since it's been over 15 years since I last read it, I hardly remember a thing. It's slowly coming back to me though.:-)

I am reading:



Both of these are for challenges this month! I'm really loving Storm Born so far.

Started Tucker's Claim at home and still reading Bloodfever.
