Here's what I read for the month.
Another record breaking month for me and you know what? As exhilarated as I am with the reading record, I'm exhausted. My brain cannot brain anymore. As much as I hate to say it, I think I might need a break from reading ... maybe. I do like reading so I don't know what I'd take too much of a break from it.
What stood out this month? Let's start with Dragon Fire and Phoenix Ash by J Thompson and Mina Carter. I literally read the book twice. I loved it so much, I finished it and then went back to the beginning and read it again. Technically, I should list it twice. I LOVED the heroine. She is EXACTLY the kind of heroine I love - the perfect blend of strength and fragility. Of course, the hero was pretty scrummy too.
Cinderella And The Geek by Christina Phillips surprised me. I don't know why, really. I love Ms Phillips' writing but this is New Adult and not really my thing, but she did it brilliantly.
Smoke And Mirrors by Julie Rowe was a much anticipated book for me and it did not disappoint. I adore Ms Rowe's work and I wish she write more books, faster. This one was fast-paced and action-packed.
Both The Penthouse Pact by Cathryn Fox and A Baby For The Billionaire
New-to-me author Serena Akeroyd blew me away with Charmed By Them. Y'all - you NEED to read this when it comes out. Go on and preorder it!! Her characterisation and relationship development is fantastic. I also read Claimed By Caden from her and that was great too. I'm glomming her backlist whenever time allows me to read something outside of the reading schedule.
Broken Butterfly by Maddie Wade was extremely enjoyable. Ms Wade continues to improve with every book.
Finally, Baby Surprise For The Spanish Billionaire by Jessica Gilmore was utterly romantic. Melty-welty, smooshy-wooshy romantic. Go read it.
That's it from me. What did you read for this last month? Do leave a comment and let me know.
And stay tuned for Helen's reading list for the month too.

Wow! You had some great reads for the month and quite a few end of series. Emerald Lily was excellent, as was Promise Not To Tell. I love both Juliette Cross and Jayne Ann Krentz. I have Cynthia Sax on my to read list but still haven't gotten to her yet. I want to read her cyborg books. And of course, I'm so far behind on JD Robb.
DeleteCinderella and the Geek looks fun :) Ha on your brain not being able to brain. Yeah, too many books sometimes isn't a completely good thing. I used to do a book a day and it gets too much after a while. Now I mix reading with Netflix bingeing and music and while I read less than I'd like most weeks it works better overall I think :)
ReplyDeleteI think I overdid it last month. I'm not reading nearly as many books or as fast this month.
