I have been working from home a lot more so not as much to catch up on audiobook world but I have a few...
Raven Calls (Walker Papers book 7) by C.E. Murphy.
This is the latest and follows the werewolf book, takes place in Ireland and I loved it. I really love this series, it has so much to it and Joanne learns so much throughout. I've really enjoyed following along!
The Kingdom (book 2) and The Prophet (book 3) by Amanda Stevens
I really really like this series. In these books the main character starts to realize she must do something with her talent to see ghosts. It's a darker type of book and the romance (if you can call it that) is not the focus. The mystery and character building is definitely more the focus.
The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsly.
Wow - this book was great. One of those stories where the main character travels back in time and falls in love. Loved everything about it and look forward to reading more by this author (although this is not a series).
Born in Fire (book 1) by Nora Roberts
Set in Ireland, I enjoyed the romance but haven't gotten pulled into reading the rest of the trilogy yet.
How to Seduce a Scoundrel (book 2) by Vicky Dreiling
Sooo slowwww. Enjoyable but the reader reads very slow and as before, Vicky Dreiling isn't my favorite author of period romances. They are just a bit to strange/quirky for me. All well, it passed the time.
Currently i'm listening to the Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks. A little slow but I'm giving it a try. I need to pause my audible membership I think, I have a ton of books to listen to and 9 credits sitting around waiting to be used!

So many books...
It has been a long time since I posted and a lot of reading has happened so I'm going to try to summarize the books here and I'll add labels based on authors to make it easier to search later.
Iron's Prophecy by Julie Kagawa.
This is a follow on book (novella) that gives some information following the first 4 books that is important for the new spinoff series. It gives some insight into how things are going and some possible future outcomes... with some twists.
The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa
This is a follow on book/spinoff of the original series. It follows Ethan (Iron Queen's brother) and his adventure now that he's grown up. I really enjoyed it, although it was driving me nuts that he was so angry and wouldn't just talk to his sister but it definitely has some potential as a series and I hope she continues it.
Angelfall (Penryn & the end of days) by Susan Ee.
A new series that I really really enjoyed. Unfortunately there is no book 2 yet. This is after the angel apocolypse and follows Penryn as she meets up with a fallen angel as she's on route to get her sister back from the angels. I was captivated by this story and hope the author continues the series!
The Lost Night (Rainshadow Novel ) by Jayne Castle
I really enjoyed this book but realized I had missed a story and some introductions. Luckily it didn't ruin the book, just got me more interested in reading her other new book I had missed. Just another futuristic/paranormal romance, just comfort food for the brain :)
Canyons of Night (Looking Glass book 3) by Jayne Castle
So the looking glass trilogy wasn't my favorite, i'm actually not a huge fan of JAK's trilogies where she has one book per time period but I still always enjoy reading them as individual books. I actually missed reading this the first time around (my family) so after reading Lost Night i realized i was missing some details and this book filled those in.
Edge of Oblivion (Night Prowler book 2) by J.T. Geissinger.
Mmmm... I love this series. This follows book 1 immediately, new characters (but still in touch with the old) and I loved it. I really enjoy this new series, shape shifters (panthers) living in secret among us. Old society, old rules, with a new modern queen now. Definitely a lot of potential for stories here. Book 3 comes out in June 2013!
Silent Night (Lady Julia Grey) by Deanna Raybourn
A novella/mini mystery set at xmas time for Julia and Brisbane. Just a nice little short story to keep in touch with the characters we all love!
Compulsively Mr. Darcy by Nina Benneton
I loved this book. I've been following this video blog adaptation of P&P and it really got me in the mood for this other modern adaptation where Darcy is OCD and Elizabeth is a doctor. Misunderstandings arise a lot but it's fun and interesting. I like how the characters actually talk (usually anyway) and the adaptation was well done for sure.
Dream Eyes (Dark Legacy book 2) by Jayne Ann Krentz
Some more paranormal romance, another Coppersmith and a lot of murder mystery. Ties in to her other books outside of Coppersmith but only by reference which is nice. I always enjoy these books!
These were all on kindle which is how i'm mostly getting my reading done lately. I just finished Compulsively Mr. Darcy and next on the reading list is Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.

Modern Witch and others by Debora Geary
Modern Witch Series by Debora Geary
- A Modern Witch (book 1)
- A Hidden Witch (book 2)
- A Recklace Witch (book 3)
- A Nomadic Witch (book 4)
- Witch Central Wedding (novella)
- A Different Witch (book 5)
To Have & To Code (Witch Central early romance)
Witchlight Trilogy by Debora Geary
- Witches on Parole (book 1)
- Witches under way (book 2)
- Witches in flight (book 3)
These required their own post because I loved this series. It starts with Modern witch books 1 and 2, then witchlight trilogy spins off, then back to the modern witch series. To Have & To Code comes pre-modern witch but you want to read some modern witch books first so you know the characters more.
The story line is modern times, with modern witches, real magic and lots of fun relationships (not romances all the time, lots of friendships). All of the characters are fun and keep you interested. I highly recommend this series if you like a little magic in your reading :)
