reading update 04/25/13

Reading updates two weeks in a row?!  I know you can be shocked.  I may disappoint a little, because I didn’t get that much reading done this past week. OK, well a decent amount.  I realized I read sometimes to escape my life. Other people do that right?  if I can live in a characters world for a couple of days I’m not dwelling on the sadness in my world. Pathetic, right?

What I finished Reading this week –

Where did I leave off last week? Oh yes I was reading Lover at Last, book 11 in the black dagger brotherhood series.  It didn’t disappoint, I mean I guess I’m not sure what I expected in terms of the boy on boy sex scenes and all but they were HOT. There were some side stories happening that I could have done without, but I guess those side stories may be the beginning of love stories to come…so OK.  I’ll say it again and again, read the BDB series!

 

At what point did 370 pages books become short reads?  I mentioned last week that after I finished Lover at Last I was going to read Me Before You, and I did, but it wasn’t exactly a short read.  It was an AMAZING book though. Seriously! It was kind of along the lines The Fault in our Stars by John Green, but different and better almost.  A controversial subject matter/kind of romance at the same time.  I was balling reading the end of this story and was made fun of relentlessly by my husband.  So read the book, but when you’re close to the end make sure your husband or significant other isn’t around!

 

After that book I moved onto Where she Went by Gayle Foreman. This book is a sequel to If I Stay and wasn’t nearly as emotional to read as the first book.  I would recommend reading both of them. 

 

I finished listening to Covet by J.R. Ward.  It was good, but not amazing. Nothing like her Black Dagger Brotherhood series.  Depending on what I have on my to be read list, I’ll most likely finish this series.  It’s just different.

Currently reading/listening to –

I have several things going right now.  I have an issue at work and for some reason I can’t listen to my audio books from the library on my computer! I don’t know if it’s just the disc or what because I can listen to them in my CD play at home and in my car?  So my friend lent me a book from Audible and I can listen to it on my phone. Amazing.

So I’m listening  on my phone to Beautiful Disaster by  Jamie McGuire. Just started so I don’t really have anything to share about it.

 

I just started reading The name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and I got like 4 pages in last night before I fell asleep, so I also have nothing to share on this one.

 

I am listening to Don’t Tempt Me by Sylvia day in the car.  She wrote the Crossfire series that I enjoyed so I was parusing the library and saw this and picked it up on a whim. About 2.5 discs in and am enjoying it so far. But its kind of a historical book and so I’m really just getting through some background right now.

What’s up Next –

That’s a great question. I have several things at the library I need to pick up, although I think I should focus on what I have in front of me right now:) but waiting for me to pick up:

The last letter from your lover by Jojo Moyes. Becaue I loved Me Before You so much.  Her other work must be good right?

 

And  Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma. I’ve heard good things so I’m going to give it a try!

 

So until next week, Happy Reading!!
