What are you reading? That is the question that I’m asking… I’m still looking for that first book of 2014 and apparently, I need suggestions because making the decision on my own seems to be a bit more than my brain can handle at the moment.
So…
I have a $10 gift card to Amazon or Barnes and Noble to one commentor who answers TWO of the following questions :
1. What are you currently reading?
2. What was the last book you read that you loved so hard?
3. What was the last book you read that, for whatever reason, wished you hadn’t?
That’s it. Just answer 2 questions. I’ll email the winner tomorrow (Friday) morning.
Help a girl out, will ya?

1. I’m currently reading Troubled Waters by Sharon Shinn. It’s a fantasy novel, no real romance to speak of, but I’m really fascinated by the world.
2. Oh jeez. That one is hard. I love a lot of books hard! Um…my go-to favorite is The Search by Nora Roberts or Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey, depending on what kind of story I’m in the mood for. My hubby also now loves The Search, and he tends to prefer short stories, graphic novels, and magazines. I’m still as in love with Kushiel’s Dart as I was when I first read it.
3. I don’t know. I tend to put down the books that I really don’t enjoy long before I feel the need for brain bleach.
1. I am currently reading 31 and a half regrets by Denise Grover Swank.
2. I just finished the boxed set of Rose Gardner series by Denise Grover Swank, and it is the first series in a long time that made me laugh, love, regret, hope, wish, etc. for the main character. Yesterday I had to choose between writing and finishing that series. I finished the series. Writing today.
3. Selling Scarlett by Ella James. I didn’t even finish chapter 1 it was so outrageous.
I am reading Maya Banks latest KGI series book called After The Storm.
Born Wild from the Black Knights Inc series written by Julie Ann Walker
3. Midnight Secrets and Midnight Lies by Ella Grace because there is going to be a 3rd book about the other triplet and I cant wait for it to come out. Wish I had waited for all 3 before I started this series.
1. Currently I am readying The Search by Nora Roberts.
2. Getting Rowdy by Lori Foster… 😆 Loved it!
3. I’m bad to push myself to read a book even if I’m not really enjoying it hoping it will get better. I read 3 of Lauren Dane’s Brown Family books because she had such high reviews, but I really didn’t enjoy them. I even tried a different book thinking it was just the series, but no, I had to take her off my list of authors to read. I guess it’s just a personal thing. I’m trying to teach myself to just put down a book I’m not enjoying since I have so many to choose from.
1. I’m about to start reading Bound by Fire by Tracey Jane Jackson. I read the first book a few days ago, and it was good, though not amazing.
2. Recent favorites… Special Needs by K.A. Merikan takes top billing. Loved it. Period. But some other good ones were Raising My Rainbow by Lori Duron and Evan Burl and the Falling by Justin Blaney.
3. I try to avoid books I’m not going to enjoy 😛 , but… A couple months ago I received a book for review that just confused the heck out of me, Empirique by Laura Holford-Green. I hated writing a bad review, but luckily the author took it very well and last I knew, was looking for a beta to help her clear up a lot of the issues I pointed out. So yay!
1. I am currently reading Heaven by CJ Anthony as part of the Don’t Buy My Love program that the MM Romance Group on GoodReads.
2. The most recent book that I really loved was Silent by Sara Alva.
3. Although I did not finish it, I wish I had never read Side Line by Ben Ryder.
Thanks for the interesting questions and the giveaway!
I am currently reading Rebel (Renegades #2) by Skye Jordan (migraines keep getting in the way of reading this)
The last book I loved hard…well there’s lots..but I’ll pick Reckless by Skye Jordan (Book #1 Renegades)
ohhhhhhh also Laken Kanes’s Rune Alexander books – Shiv Crew & Blood and Bite. I cannot wait for book 3.
For question 3, I’m glad we only have to answer 2 question 🙂 because I don’t think there’s a book I wish I hadn’t read. I try to pick books I know I’ll like. And even if I didn’t like a book, I have to finish it.I can’t DNF.
Ah, yes, that ‘whatamIgonnareadnext?’-feeling. It can be fixed with a TBR list 😉
1. What are you currently reading?
– Bareback 10 yr anniversary edition paperback. And loving it.
2. What was the last book you read that you loved so hard?
– S.U. Pacat’s Captive Prince. Great read with threads throughout the story
3. What was the last book you read that, for whatever reason, wished you hadn’t?
– Can’t tell you since I tend to delete them from pc AND memory.
BTW – Jacqueline Carey is DEFINITELY worth a read if you like great fantasy. Or Anne Bishop’s Dark Jewels series. Or Robin Hobb…
1) Just started With or Without Him by Barbara Elsborg – I’m glomming her m/m books
2) Really enjoyed her story Every Move He Makes which I won last month
3) I’m really picky on buying books – I do a lot of research and usually only buy ones that have great reviews so I don’t have anything to add here 🙂
1) I am currently rereading Come Away With Me by Kristen Proby. It is the first book in her With Me series. I love this series.
2) I really love Frances Stockton’s Ink and Kink series. There are 6 books in the series but it is hard to pick my Favorite. She also has another series that is somewhat connected to it but there is only one book out so far. The next book is in edits.
3) I don’t really think there is a book that I haven’t like enough to not finish. I tend to try to really look at all the information about a book before I buy it.
I’m currently reading Reasons I Fell for the Funny Fat Friend by Becca Ann, not sure how I feel about it right now… ❓
Book I love so hard would be Until You (Fall Away #1.5) by Penelope Douglas is the follow up to Bully and awwww I just LOVE Jared after reading it from his POV…Love, LovE, LOVE!!!!
Book I wish I didn’t read was Beautiful Wedding (Beautiful #2.5) by Jamie McGuire. It skunked Travis and Abby’s relationship for me so much. that I just want to punch Abby so hard…awwwww 👿
currently im reading City of bones. the last series i read was the hunger games. i dont think i have read a book that i didnt ike. normally if i start one and it isnt interesting then i never finish it. havent had that happen in awhile
