2016 January

Lost in Wyoming by Vivian Sinclair. Great book. This is a contemporary western romance about a writer from New York City who finds herself unexpectedly in Wyoming.


Moon Over Laramie

I'm reading and am enjoying it so far.

I'm starting the year off with !

I just finished my first read of 2016, a cute, shortie for the PIFM-

I have started with the best seller book the girl on the train

I'm making slow work on Newton's Law of Attraction but mainly due to attending a clinic - my reading is just a bit haphazard...

I'm reading The Magpies by Mark Edwards.

I'm getting read to start Unbidden by Jill Hughey.

listening to Poughkeepsie

Currently reading - collection of books under "Gods and Mortals" ; read the first 4 stories so far, the book that will be following is Book 3 "Fallen" from Christine Pope.. I seem to be on a mythology kick at the moment.

reading . almost done and it's a good read.

I just finished and had a good discussion about it at our local book club.

Just started the audio version of today.

I love those fever books Connie!! Hope you enjoy it :)

Well, I'm listening to it and find the voicing to be very odd. Jericho is supposed to be a young alpha male, right? I just keep picturing him as an old leprechaun-looking guy because that's how the voice sounds. It's hard to get everything straight in my head. If I continue with the series, I'll definitely have to switch to print.

If I remember correctly, the audios improve after the first one. That one was a bit rough I believe. The narrators change in this series too. So you might want to at least check out the audios before passing them by.

I actually read the first book, so Kat is probably right. I'm pretty sure I listened from book 3 onwards?

Oh good. I'm enjoying the book so far except for Jericho's voice. So I'll give the next one a try in audio too. Thanks for the info.

The narrator makes such a difference to how we enjoy a book. I am currently listening to Tangled Reins a Regency by Stephanie Laurens. I have read it many times before, but in the audio the heroine who is strong and independent has a really soft ethereal voice making her seem really hesitant at odds to the words she is saying.

I am getting used to it but I was tempted not to continue after my first gym session. (The only way I can cope with the head banging music at the gym. I always choose to listen to a book I have already read as I can miss bits with everything going on around me.)

So true, Loriidae. I know what you mean about countering loud music with an audiobook. But I tend to listen when I'm mowing the lawn, drowning out the loud machine noise with something a lot more enjoyable.

finished Mark of the Demon now listening to .

I read Texas Kissing during the week and I wasn't impressed. I gave it 2 stars. This was a new author to me too. The only reason I finished it was because I had it for a challenge, otherwise I would have given up before the half way mark.

I've just finished 'In Bed With The Mafia' series by S.K. Lee. OMG!!! Where do I start?!?!? Everyone should read this series. I now have a new favourite Mafia bad boy! I'm totally in love with Enzo Fancelli!!



There's a fifth book in the series. I really hope it's out soon!

finished Beneath These Chains, now listening to . i see why most reviews said it was twisted but turned them on. i'm freakishly interested in this book. it's so good. glad i've started it.

Finished and loved it!

I have been wondering about this series. I couldn't stand the hero in #1 The Darkest Hour he was (view spoiler)[all woe is me, what if she gets her memory back and remembers she hates me. (hide spoiler)] I enjoyed the mystery element and the overall writing. I thought I might try another one.
