Happy summer, Northern Hemisphere! And happy winter, Southern Hemisphere! Can you believe we’re halfway through the year already? Are you halfway through your TBR Challenge books?
I am not halfway through, but I am (finally) making progress. The Day Job has been quiet–literally–so I’ve been listening to Dragonfly in Amber once again, and am about 3/4 of the way through it. It’s been a few years since I read the book and Davina Porter does such a wonderful job as narrator, so listening is a pleasant way to pass the time at my desk.
I’ve also been taking breaks from coursework (one more paper left to write!) with books to refresh my 
brain and sped through The Bullet Catcher’s Daughter (my first foray into Steampunk), which was fun and mysterious and intriguing…and that’s just the series title: The Fall of the Gas-Lit Empire. I’ve already put the other two books in the series on my list and can’t wait to read them! I’m in the last few chapters of A Night To Surrender, too, which as been such a wonderful diversion from reading disabilities and classroom assessments. I have yet to read a Tessa Dare book that isn’t fabulous, and the rest of the Spindle Cove series is in my TBR collection, so you can bet I’ll be visiting there again 🙂
And Then She Kissed Him 
Hi Cora! Glad your are able to get back to some pleasure reading/listening! I have read Tessa’s Fairy Tale books, but still need to get to Spindle Cove. I am up to 77 books, so I should be able to reach my goal. I am 2 books away from finishing the Bridgertons, which has long been on my list. I am also 2 books from finishing a contemporary series – Weekday Brides- by Catherine Bybee. I had read the first 4 books quite awhile ago. Doing a reread of Kristan Higgins Blue Heron series, for which the most recent book came out in Dec & I haven’t read yet. Hope you have a great summer!

Looks like it’s been a good reading month for us both–you’ve been busy!

Yes, it’s been a good month, but I have spent less time on the internet. Coincidence? I think not!

Hi Cora! I’ve read 29 books to date and 3 this month so far. I’m currently reading “Nine Ways Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake” by Sarah MacLean and listening to “Deadly Engagement” by Lucinda Brant.
I am fairly up-to-date with my reviews (only 1 outstanding) for the first time in ages, which I’m really pleased about.

Look at you go! Nice! Is Deadly Engagement one of the books Alex Wyndham read? I’ve heard nothing but raves for his narration 😀

Yes, Alex Wyndham is narrating it. He is definitely one of the best narrators. He has such a deep, rich voice and each character is pitched perfectly and his ability to sustain a wide range of characters’ voices throughout is just amazing.

I have Midnight Marriage and Deadly Affair to listen to, both read by Alex, and I can’t wait! I’m guessing I won’t be able to listen to them at the Day Job though, because I won’t be concentrating on anything but the book 🙂
