Yes, Karen is correct, Heidi, the three Country Saga books and The Earth Dwellers are all under production. Once finished, I expect my publisher to release all four audiobooks in short succession. Then I will be talking to them about The Slip Trilogy :) I'm hoping they pick up the rights to it!

Love this!!!

Have to take Queen Shadows back to the library, I just don't have time for it right now with the deadline for the library and trying to catch up on my lesson planning. So I'm going to work on finishing My Lady Jane since I own it and can take my time with it.

I'm kind of reading Of Beast and Beauty but I'm not too into it yet.

I just finished . It was meh for me. Glad I read it to see what all the hype was about.

I was not in love with the first one so think I will skip this one too

What a bummer! I wasn't so much in love with the first one, but this one crushed me so hard. Oh well, at least you gave it a shot!

I finished my reread of , so good!!

Also finished my reread of and it was just as good the second time. I'm glad I reread it, there was a lot I had forgotten. I think its been 3 years since I read it!

Also finished and that was a quick, thrilling read!

Next I'm reading

Currently reading:



I'm about halfway through it. Mixed feelings about it so far, but it is very creepy/intriguing.

I'm listening to the first book in the series on audio right now and I'm really liking it so far. :)

I'm reading and it's excellent so far - the perfect kind of claustrophobic!

Jenny wrote: "Sky wrote: ""

I'm dying. I have less than 10% left.

That one looks good!!

I'm currently about half way through. Hope you love the ending!

Karen wrote: "Wow Victoria!!!! :-O"

Like I said, many of them were quite short. Plus, that's around two weeks worth of reading...

I'm reading !!! Off to a decent start :) :) :) 10% in!

I enjoyed that one when I read it. Book two was good as well.

@David That's my next "to read" after I finish My Lady Jane.

Yesterday I started reading and I absolutely LOVED it! So I followed it with and loved that one too! I have found a new author to add to my favorites.
I just started and hope to start soon.

I need to read Between Shades of Gray very soon! :)

AEITA!! Yaaaayyyy!!

I'm rereading on audio.

was an excellent mystery thriller! Now I'm reading which is good so far - it reminds me of To Kill a Mockingbird as if it was written by Neil Gaiman. Never would have expected that kind of a combination to work but it really is so far!

It's really good, Karen!

I'm about 1/5 of the way through, and I'm LOVING it, Victoria. Watney is one of my new fave characters!

Mark Watney is my book husband!!!!

Lol, Karen!!

Not related to what I'm currently reading....but do any of you subscribe to OWLcrate or Uppercase? I considering trying it for a month or two, but I'd like to know your thoughts....

I'm about halfway through . I'm enjoying it more than I've enjoyed any book in a while.

I started This Savage Song a few hours ago and I'm really liking it so far!

@Harlee All the YES!

No but I really want to!! I'm thinking of asking for it for Christmas :)

I'm still reading I was hoping to finish by the end of August, but no dice. I'm not flying through this one like I did the first one, but I'm still loving it!

I joined a readathon that officially starts Monday: #AYearathon which is a group on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...
They do one every month. This month's theme is short books--books less than 200 pages. I'm officially starting today, though, because I'm off for a long holiday weekend!

Started it with and I really enjoyed this one. I really like the stories with Mark James, who knew?? I hated him in the first book!
