@Sydney's Mom - what Blossom said also. Especially the part about liberating.

That sound you just heard was me finding The Chocolate Thief by Laura Florand for 1.99 at ARe. Finally. I might have bought a couple ( or 8) more books from my wishlist. Total cost:19 dollar

Loosheesh, I loved Easy as well.[IIRC we talked about Easy a long time ago] May 6 is a long time to wait!
![]() OT, but I'm excited for Samantha Towle's new book [author of Mighty Storm]. Trouble comes out Nov 20. |

I loved Easy. Its still the standard for me of this new fandangled thing called new adult and very few I read after come even close.
But I just have no interest in reading rehashed stories from the other character side. Its like reading the same story again to me. I am not liking that trend. I also don't like to read a prequel after I read the sequel, if that makes sense. I like to read in order. Chronological order. Anything else makes me twitch. Its why I am still pulling my hair out trying to decide how to read the Joanne Bourne novels. I think I have resisted buying anything this week because I was just filling a new collection on my Kindle. Its basically a collection for next in series. So much stuff, no matter the sub genre seems to be series. And I have about 450 unread paid for books on my kindle. I know, me bad. ![]() ![]() So I am going through the list and put in the collection whats next, or the first in series, since I am so OCD about reading in order. I found books I didn't even knew I had on my kindle. So I really need to read some of the stuff I already bought before loading up on more. I have stuff I bought in 2008 I haven't read yet. ![]() Of course if there is some big sale coming up, all bets are off. I mean my mental strength isn't quite that good. ![]() |

![]() The new ST looks interesting. Wonder if it's standalone (as in not part of/will not be part of a series) ![]() |

Sorry, I’ve been without cable/internet all day. I can’t complain because my poor aunt is still without power. We didn’t get one of the tornados, but there’s still lots of wind damage, downed trees, etc.

She’s gotten stronger as a writer over the years. There were a number of her Bodyguards books I didn’t like, but I am glad I stuck with her. Here are my ratings for the various books. As you can see they run the gamut from 1 to 5 stars (Putting in a spoiler as I've listed the couples for each book which I know some people consider that spoilerish): Spoiler:
The only books which need to be read in order are: To the Brink then Into the Dark (as the events in To the Brink are referred to multiple times). I would read both of those before reading Show No Mercy as the main Black Ops Inc crew are introduced in Into the Dark. The Way Home totally works as a stand-alone novel. Though the h/h meet in Last Man Standing both are minor characters in that book. Both of the short stories (8 and 10) in the Black Ops Inc series are totally okay to skip. They are short stories, not even novella length. That said, I understand if you feel the need to read all of the books in order. |

I moved to the iPad Air and all my Amazon content is available through apps. I was tired of trying out various Android tablets and not having a great experience. I even like reading on the iPad.

Published order is how I always read otherwise you deal with changes in writer's skill like newer books are more develop and then switch to a older one and it just doesn't flowed. The exception is if they are published in the same year then I don't like spoilers.
