As of Lately

In the past week or so I have been really consumed in a series that I just can't seem to put down. It has been a while since I had a non-paranormal book catch my attention. Now I tend to have high standards when it comes to series especially when there are men that are tough and kickass. I read series like the Brotherhood and the Paladins where men have super strength and am nothing but hard muscle and thick heads. Last year I picked up Tammara Webber and Jamie McGuire, who were my first two authors into the New Adult genre. I do have to say that so far I am enjoying this genre, I feel it is a good transition from young adult to more adult books. They have the perfect balance of teen drama and hot romances that can't even touch what you would find in young adult. At the same time though when it comes to the sex cause if you're an avid reader in paranormal romances like I am then you know that there can be some steamy stuff going on. Some new adult authors will add in though scenes that just makes the chemistry so much better. I recently picked the Marked Men series by Jay Crownover, and man do I have to say that I love this group of boys and their loyalty that they have for each other. Coming from the reading I usually do, I was eating it up. It took me about 1-2 days to read each book. That right there tells you how much I enjoyed each book. It is always rough coming from a good series and then trying to find something that holds interest right afterwards. Luckily in April the fourth installment (Nash) comes out, which I am very excited about. On top of that The King and the reissue of Dark Lover by JR Ward comes out as well. I can tell that April is going to a good month of reading. It also comes at a good time since I’ll be on my way of finishing the spring semester.
Since the beginning of the year my reading has been going strong. I haven’t had much of a rut yet. Since I finished Rome, I decided to pick up an old favorite, Dark Lover. I haven’t read this book in a while, but I feel that it is fitting since The King is coming out in April. Since I’ve started reading I have realized that there is so much that I have forgotten about. It is as if I am reading the book for the first time. I’m really into it all over again, at the same time though I am taking my time and reading it with fresh eyes. The next few months should be a whole lot of fantastic reading


Until Next Time

It's a new year which means a new group of books for me. I do plan on rereading certain series since some of them are coming out with new books, and of course I just have to re-read them to remember all the details. Who can blame me with all the books that i read within the year. Half the time my brain purges information to make room for more. I do have to say though that I'm pretty proud with how many books i read this year. In the past I would never keep track, but now that I do I feel motivated to read even more and to discover new series this year. 2013 to seem to be the year that I really discovered more new series that I would have never picked up in the past. Out of the year I discover Lara Adrian, Christine Feehan, Alexis Morgan, I rediscovered Gena Showalter as well. I enjoyed all the books that I read in 2013 some obviously stood out more than the rest. In the new year i'm expecting new books from Ward and Adrian which I am excited for, I'm also excited to discover some new series. Lets hope 2014 is a good reading year.
until next time
