It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

This is a weekly Meme run by Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books. Post the books completed last week, the books you are currently reading, and the books you hope to finish this week.

Read last week:
I managed to finish quite a bit of books last week, and slowly, very very slowly catch up on reviews.

>>  To Wed a Wicked Earl by Olivia Parker (click for review) Loved this book.

>>  Need by Carrie Jones (click for review) I had great expectations from this one, but something was missing. As a YA, it still is a good book, but maybe I've been pampered by the other great world-building and witty lines out there for this one to make much impact?

>>  Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews (review to come) I've been stalling against reading this one, mostly because of the good reviews I've seen out so far. There's such a thing as having too many good books to read and then ending up being confused between the worlds and scenarios and being unable to enjoy the book for all it has to give you. I finally succumbed last night, mostly cause my sister wants me to catch up so I can buy the second book which she's dying to read. Very very promising series this one.

>>  The Warlord Wants Forever by Kresley Cole - I'm on the fence with this series. This is a mini story as an intro to the series and it wasn’t very captivating. I might give book 2 a try sometime though.

>>  The Man Within (Breeds, #2) by Lora Leigh - excess of sex aside, Leigh does write good stories. I read the 17th book in this series last year (yes, 17th) and really loved it so figured I should start from the beginning. Good plot, some hot scenes and a HEA. I'm going to pick up the next book hoping its on Sherra and Kane.

>>  Wild Card (Elite Ops, #1) by Lora Leigh - This series is a continuation from Leigh's other series Tempting Seals. No paranormal stuff here, just plain ole hunky Navy Seals. I liked Wild Card, although I did get a bit too sad at times. A supposed dead Nathan Malone comes back as a colder and harder Noah Blake. There's nothing on Nathan in the new man except his love for his wife, who is now in danger. At times I did think Noah needed a book or two thrown at his head for sheer stubbornness and ego. I really did like this book, but if you're planning on picking it up, it will make more sense if you read the tempting seals series first.

Also reviewed:

>>  Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon

>>  And Then He Kissed Her by Laura Lee Guhrke You need to read this book. The Series is called Girl Bachelors. The heroine is awesome, and the hero is one you want for yourself. No ditzy people and real smart dialogue. What more do you need

  

Reading this week:

>>  The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss - I'm so excited about this one, I'm still on page one. Does that make sense? I've read the jacket covers some 20 times so far though. It promises awesomeness.

>>  Beneath the Skin (The Maker's Song, #3) by Adrian Phoenix

That’s a whole lotta typing for a Monday morning. And did I actually use the word hunky?

Happy reading everyone. Have a great week ahead.

Its my birthday today, so the Favourite lines for the week are birthday related..


"Take every birthday with a grain of salt. This works better if the salt accompanies a large margarita."
 
And on a more serious note:
"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these."  — Susan B. Anthony

I don't know what was wrong this week, but i kept flitting between books unable to find something i wanted to read. So there's quite a bit of unfinished books i hope i'll be able to get to this week. The ones i did finish, were really good.

Shadow Game -Christine Feehan - This is the first book in Feehan's GhostWalkers series - and it was highly entertaining. I must have been on a silly-high when i wrote this review, i had a lotta fun writing it. Please go read it.

Angels Pawn - Nalini Singh. This is sorta a prequel to Singh's Guild Hunter book Angel's Blood. Its a short read and expands on the world this series is set it - you definitely must give a look see. Its about Ashwini, another Guild Hunter, and the vampire she's always seems to be chasing and is attracted to - Janvier. You'll love Janvier, he oozes charm. No review.

The Smoke Thief - Shana Abé - You're missing out if you haven't read this one. Thats all i'm going to say.

Didn't do much else this week. Filled in a real fun meme: My Life in Books. Finally got the looong awaited job offer from back home, so i can start packing my bags come October. Watched too much TV. Was generally my usual lazy self.

Planned reading for this week:
>> Blood and Chocolate - Annette Curtis Klause pg 23. I'm finding this annoying so far. Hopefully it gets better

>> Dime Store Magic - Kelley Armstrong pg 118. Paige isn't as annoying as i thought she would be.
>> Storm Born - Richelle Mead

Favourite line for the week:
"Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city." - George Burns
Since i'm going back to India soon, this seems appropriate enough to annoy Mom and Dad. OK OK. Was kidding. A lil bit :O)

This was an interesting week. I started off reading Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier which i loved so much i couldn't stop thinking about it - and so couldn't pick up another book after reading it for a while. This one is definitely up there among my fav books for this year.

I also read the just released Hunting Ground, which is the second book from Patricia Briggs' Alpha & Omega Series. Then I went back and read the first book Cry Wolf. This couple have some interesting chemistry, and it was fun to get more of 'em.
Also read a bit of On the Prowl, the anthology which has the story of how Anna & Charles met and is the prequel to the Alpha & Omega Series.

Was on leave from work the whole of last week to spend time with the boyfriend who was visiting. Hadn't planned on reading anything, but then the bookstore called to tell me they had Richelle Mead's Blood Promise in already - couldn't resist obviously. Stayed up reading till 5.30.

Also finished the 2009 Young Adult Book Challenge with this book. Didn't think i'd enjoy YA books so much.

I'll probably catch up on reviews of the first 3 Vampire Academy books by Richelle Mead this coming week.

I'm a bit behind on the August Paranormal reading challenge on Goodreads. Have these books to read, which have been on my list for real long so looking forward to 'em -

Iron Kissed – Patricia Briggs pg 25

Up in Smokes - Katie MacAlister pg 71

Undead & Unwed - Mary JaniceDavidson

Beyond the Highland Mist - Karen Marie Moning

Happy Reading everyone!!

• Slave to Sensation - Psy-Changeling 1 - Nalini Singh
• Visions of Heat - Psy-Changeling 2 - Nalini Singh 4/4 on this one. More emphasis on the plot in these books, which i always like.

Read all 3 Vampire Academy books by Richelle Mead. Well, i could not just read one book and not pick up the next one immediately to see what happens next. Waiting anxiously for the 4th one, which my bookstore tells me will only be here early September :(

• Vampire Academy - Richelle Mead
• Frostbite - Richelle Mead
• Shadow Kissed - Richelle Mead

I cant seem to add any pics to my blog this week, so its a pictureless Monday.

I read quite a bit this week. Most of these were short, finish in a couple of hours stuff. The ones i really liked were Graceling, which is awesome and Destiny Kills - can't not like things by Keri Arthur.

Books Completed Last Week:

Wicked Burn - Beth Kery

Graceling - Kristin Cashore - Highly recommended. Awesome read.

Destiny Kills - Keri Arthur Yes, finally i did read the book. Loved it.

Her Best Friend's Lover - Shiloh Walker - a sweet romance.

A Quick Bite - Lynsay Sands - funny vampire read. Mostly silly at times.

This Week's Reading List:

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee Still on Chapter 1

The Secret by Julie Garwood pg 244 and loving it

Triad by Lauren Dane: pg 58. Not liking it so far

Happy Reading Everyone.

This was a fun week. Although the books were not as good as I'd liked them to be:
Blood Bound - Patricia Briggs - 4.5/5 Loved this book. This series is fast becoming a favourite

Playing With Fire - Katie MacAlister - 5/5. I think I've waited forever to get my hands on this one and i did not disappoint.

Kiss of Midnight - Lara Adrian 2.5/5

Dangerous Games - Lora Leigh 3/5. Umm, I'm a bit confused now. I gave this Lora Leigh book a higher rating than Kiss of Midnight? LOL. I think the other Midnight Breed books will be better than book 1 though, so there's hope still yet.

This week is my "stop fooling around and catch up on work" week, so i probably wont get a lot of reading done. In anticipation of staying back at work after hours (sigh) I'm only planning on To Kill a Mockingbird, which i can't believe i haven't read yet.

Happy Reading Everyone.

I've been trying to catch up on my reviews this week. And i more or less just ended up reading the books all over again to review them...and had a lot of fun doing that since these are all 5/5 books

Dead and Gone (Sookie Stackhouse, #9) - Charlaine Harris Which was a lovely 5/5 in my list

Moon Called (Mercedes Thompson, #1) - Patricia Briggs Another 5/5 and a series that I'm getting addicted to FAST.

At Grave's End - Night Huntress 03 - Jeaniene Frost - The fourth book, Destined for an Early Grave, is out July 28, which i very excited about.

I also read Mastered & Salvation - which are books 2 & 3 of the Dark Elves Series by Jet Mykles. I'm actually quite liking some of the characters in this series, which i completely did not expect since it started out as plain ole erotica reading for me. I've gotten fond of Radin and Salin.

Dark Elves is about a series of "black-skinned, white-haired, sex-oozing"(jacket cover words, not mines. LOL) elves who live underground in the Dark Forest and were created to pleasure a goddess. They capture the women passing above through the forest and convert them since they're a race entirely of men, and need human women to breed.

I've realised i keep making plans for the week to come and then end up reading completely different books. So i don't know if i should be choosing in advance anymore.

Since i read Moon Called, i think I'll end up continuing with the Mercy Thompson series with the second book Blood Bound

I'm still keeping Destiny Kills by Keri Arthur on the list, which i had planned to read last week, but never got to.

Both books are part of my July Paranormal Reading Challenge, so I'm looking forward to them.

Happy Reading Everyone.

This has been a good week, i've read quite a bit and caught up on the reviews i wanted to finish.

Read:

Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh

Dark Curse by Christine Feehan

Holy Smokes (Aisling Grey, Book 4) - Katie MacAlister


Menage - Emma Holly - Well, yes it is a menage book, but after the smutty start this book actually got real good. Kate runs her own bookshop and has to tenants one of whom she has the hots for. Joe and Sean are both gay but Joe has the hots for her and eventually they end up in a threesome. But then, they get to know each other and care for each other, and the story gets real heart warming. kinda.

Wrath's Embrace - Tawny Taylor - This was just plain ole stupid reading.



For the coming week, I don't think I'm actually going to finish reading much, i have half written reviews that i really just want to be done with, so i think this is going to be review week.

I got both books for the Silver Dragon Series by Kathy MacAlister finally - Playing with Fire and Up in Smokes.

I've also finished half of Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris. Finally getting to this book.

In keeping with my dragon craze, I'm also adding Destiny Kills by Keri Arthur, which promises to as good as read as Arthur's other well known Riley Jenson Series. Check out the sexy cover.

Happy Reading everyone.

I finished quite a few books last week, and although i had planned to read and finish the rest of my June Reading Challenge list, that didn't quite happen thanks to a certain Aisling Grey Series.

Read Book 3 and 4 of the Aisling Grey Series - Light my Fire and Holy Smokes (not reviewed yet) I really am going to miss Jim the Demon.

Also read Dark Destiny (book 13) & Dark Demon (book 16) of the Carpathian Series by Christine Feehan this week, reviews of which should be up by tomorrow. That makes it 7/9 books I've finished for the June challenge

Planned for the coming week:

Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh and

Dark Curse By Christine Feehan should help me complete the June challenge. Dark Curse continues with Lara, who is Razvan's daughter and Nicolas De La Cruz. Along with the struggles these 2 face with each other, they attempt to find and free Lara's aunts who had helped her escape her childhood imprisonment.

I'm also hoping to get Katie MacAlister's Silver Dragon Series and start with Playing with Fire. This one is about Gabriel Tauhou, wyvern of the silver dragons. I loved him in the Aisling series, and can't wait to read more.

On the Prowl, which is an anthology and has the story on how Anna and Charles met before he brings her to in Cry Wolf
