April was a really good month for reading. Most of that is due to the nook™ that I was lucky enough to win from The Book Binge. I went a little crazy on the erotica, didn't even list a few shorter e-books I read. I hope to have a post/review of the nook™ up soon. There's a lot I want to say about it and I need to get my thoughts together on it. I also need to catch up on my reviews. :)
The breakdown by genre ~
Erotica ~ 6
Contemporary ~ 5
Romantic Suspense ~ 3 (includes Robb)
Historical ~ 2 (includes Paranormal Historical)
Urban Fantasy ~ 2
Paranormal Romance ~ 1
Science Fiction Romance ~ 1
Total read ~ 20
So the majority were Contemporaries and Erotics and the Erotics were Contemporaries. I see a trend here. :) There were a few that, while not DNF yet, just didn't grab me so got set aside for now. I think this month I'll try for more variety. I've got some Urban Fantasies and some PNR I've been wanting to read so I hope to get to those this month. Overall, some very good reads and a few okay ones but no real duds. No surprise that Silver Borne and Hope's Folly were my favorites. And I've got a new series to follow in Lorelei James' Rough Riders. If you haven't started those series you really should give them a try.
How cool that you won the nook! When you mentioned the Lorelei James books I knew I had one on my Kindle but had to look to see which one (haven't read it yet). It's the one you read but I see that it is book 2 in the series so I'm going to buy book 1 and read it first (yeah, I have a thing about reading series in order). I'll watch for your review!
ReplyDeleteLeslie, you had a fantastic reading month. Aren't those e-readers something else? I went buck-wild last year when I got my Kindle, I thought I was going to go blind reading. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to Rode Hard, Put Up Wet by James. You know how much I like her. *g* Also looking forward to the Kinsale review and of course your thoughts on Mind Games. :)
Mary ~ I was in shock when I found out about winning the nook. And now I'm addicted to it. LOL
ReplyDeleteAh, Lorelei James - I really like her writing. Hope you enjoy it too.
Hils ~ I carry it with me everywhere. I still need to get a case for it. I made one but really should buy one.
I've got to catch up on my reviews but I've been reading so many good books lately it's all I want to do. :)
Congrats on reading the nook from Book Binge! That's so awesome!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you read 20 books in April!! Wow that's a lot of pages read!!! I only read 8 books in April, but two of them that overlap with your list is MIND GAMES and SILVER BORNE. Pretty awesome ones if I may be so opinionated! Looking forward to your review of MIND GAMES. I plan to still post something on it, too, even though I read it a couple of weeks ago.
Here's to an equally productive May! :)
Christine ~ I was surprised too. Usually, if I hit 12, that's a good month.
ReplyDeleteI need to do some serious review writing this week. Way behind on that and will probably get more behind - got Savor the Moment. :D
Lucky you! I just checked yesterday and am #2 out of 7 on the holds list for Savor the Moment which I can't understand why, because when it finally showed up on the library's online database there were 0 holds on it and I entered my info. I bet a librarian bumped be down to the #2 spot! Hmpf!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, I picked up Lover Avenged out of the TBR and it is a LONG book, so I'm hoping Savor the Moment doesn't come in until Monday. LOL!
Enjoy! I hope it's good!
Christine ~ That's happen to me before. I just assume it's my faulty memory but now I'm wondering... and it's really good so far - love the dynamics of the 4 women.
ReplyDeleteYou're stilling hanging on with the BDB? I gave up after LU. Hope you enjoy Rehvenge's book. :)
Very nice list!! I'm so late with my monthly list, sigh :( but 20 books!! Good job, Les :)
ReplyDeleteand congrats on the Nook! I didn't realize you were the winner. Lucky you! :D So, you're liking it?
You had some good reads in there :D Looking forward to your review of Mind Games :)
nath ~ hey, you've got a great reason for being late. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the nook a bunch. It's a bit addictive. ;)
