MUSING MONDAYS is hosted by MinB at Should Be Reading (once again). Todays topics are about: Amount of reading.
Today’s MUSING MONDAYS question asks…

Would you say that you read about the same amount now as when you were younger? More? Less? Why?

I would definately say I read more now than I ever did when I was young.  Don't get me wrong...I read a lot as a kid...but, not nearly as much as I do now. One reason being, when I was younger, I had school, chores, and whatever else was going on. While I enjoyed it...there was always other things happening. But now that I am older, I find that I enjoy reading much more. It sooths me. it lets me escape and takes makes me forget for a time all of the realities surrounding me. What about you?

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks.

Lothario by Kresley Cole
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole continues her electrifying Immortals After Dark series with this thrilling tale, revealing secrets of the Lore, fierce realm of the immortals. . . .

ALL FEAR THE ENEMY OF OLD
 Driven by his insatiable need for revenge, Lothaire, the Lore’s most ruthless vampire, plots to seize the Horde’s crown. But bloodlust and torture have left him on the brink of madness—until he finds Elizabeth Peirce, the key to his victory. He captures the unique young mortal, intending to offer up her very soul in exchange for power, yet Elizabeth soothes his tormented mind and awakens within him emotions Lothaire believed he could no longer experience.

A DEADLY FORCE DWELLS WITHIN HER
 Growing up in desperate poverty, Ellie Peirce yearned for a better life, never imagining she’d be convicted of murder—or that an evil immortal would abduct her from death row. But Lothaire is no savior, as he himself plans to sacrifice Ellie in one month’s time. And yet the vampire seems to ache for her touch, showering her with wealth and sexual pleasure. In a bid to save her soul, Ellie surrenders her body to the wicked vampire, while vowing to protect her heart.

CENTURIES OF COLD INDIFFERENCE SHATTERED
 Elizabeth tempts Lothaire beyond reason, as only his fated mate could. As the month draws to a close, he must choose between a millennia-old blood vendetta and his irresistible prisoner. Will Lothaire succumb to the miseries of his past . . . or risk everything for a future with her?

Booking Through Thursday is a weekly bookish meme.
Anyone can play along! Just comment to the following:

What’s the hardest/most challenging book you’ve ever read? Was it worth the effort? Did you read it by choice or was it an assignment/obligation?

My thoughts:
If I am being honest, I think the most challenging and most difficult read for me would be the bible. I know for some it is easy as can be....but for me...not so much. I don't like how it is written, I also don't like most of its content. I know that to many it might be sacred and absolute, but I found myself torn between wanting to argue the meaning of it all, trying to understand what was trying to be told...after all it is open to interpetation, or feeling guilty over the fact that I didn't agree or even like most of what was written. I didn't find it an enjoyable read....in fact...I never really finished it. 

I also find it difficult to read self help books or how to do manuals...I get bored very easily with them. So it is a challenge to read through them.

 What about you?

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted be Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Courting Darkness ( Otherworld/Sisters of the Moon, Book 10) by  Yasmine Galenorn.

We're the D'Artigo sisters: sexy, savvy ex-operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But being half-human, half-Fae means our powers go haywire at all the wrong times. My sister Delilah is a Death Maiden and werecat who belongs to the Autumn Lord. My sister Menolly is a vampire who's dating a gorgeous werepuma, and the godfather of the undead-set. And me? I'm Camille, Priestess of the Moon Mother, married to a dragon, a youkai, and a Svartan. But my dragon father-in-law has decided that he doesn't like having me for a member of the family...

It's Winter Solstice, and Aeval welcomes me into her Court of Darkness. With Morio still dangerously weak from his injuries and Vanzir alive only thanks to my silence, the thought of training under Morgaine doesn't seem as daunting as it did. But then, Hyto returns to shatter my life. Captured and swept off to the Dragon Reaches, can I manage to stay alive long enough to escape, even as Smoky's father intends to break my spirit, then my body?

WARNING: If you get in my way of this book, you will be courting my darkenss!


Drink Deep ( Otherworld/Sisters of the Moon, Book 10) by Chloe Neill.

Clouds are brewing over Cadogan House, and recently turned vampire Merit can’t tell if this is the darkness before the dawn or the calm before the storm. With the city iself in turmoil over paranormals and the state threatening to pass a paranormal registration act, times haven’t been this precarious for vampires since they came out of the closet. If only they could lay low for a bit, and let the mortals calm down.

That’s when the waters of Lake Michigan suddenly turn pitch black-and things really start getting ugly.

Chicago’s mayor insists it’s nothing to worry about, but Merit knows only the darkest magic could have woven a spell powerful enough to change the very fabric of nature. She’ll have to turn to friends old and new to find out who’s behind this, and stop them before it’s too late for vampires and humans alike.

WARNING: If you get in my way of this book, I will make you drink in deep at the bottom of the ocean!

My thoughts: I love both these series. I am very happy that I bought the Yasmine Galenorn books recently on Ebay so I can read a couple of the previous books I didn't get a chance to read before I bought this one. If you haven't read this series....your  missing out. I look forward to this book because I am a Smokey fan.

I also enjoy the Chicagoland Vampire series by Chloe Neill. I confess, Chloe Neill keeps throwing me curveballs...I haven't a clue how the story will proceed. I do know how I would like the outcome to be....but, I just don't know if it will.....

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS question asks…

Do you listen to audiobooks? Why, or why not?

The last time I actually listened to a audiobook was when I was a young child. It was one of those read-along story books. You remember those don't you? As an adult, I unfortunately, have never had the opportunity to listen to one.  What about you?

As many of you know I have been trying to re-build my library from scratch. So, I have been shopping on eBay trying to replace what was taken from me and hope to save a little money doing it. I had spent sooo much money and time the first time around, I just don't have the stomach, wallet, or time to do it this second time around. Fortunately, I didn't have to do it all by myself.  Even after all this time, I am still amazed how supportive and generous the book blogging community truly is.

I know this is a little bit late, but with everything else that was taken, so was my camera. So, I had to wait till I had access to one. So I apologize for not posting sooner. There are several people that I would like to thank for their generosity.

You know the ones where the blocks on fit a certain way. Let's just say, I am not a genius, but she might be.

I can't begin to express the feelings I have. Only that I am all warm and fuzzy knowing that there are people out there who are compassionate, supportive, and understanding. I hope one day I have the opporunity to pay it forward.

Books I Bought

Because I had been working my ass off so much. I did some shopping on Ebay this last week or two. I managed to hit quite a few deals.

1. The Shifter Series by Rachel Vincent.
I originally had the whole series, but never got a chance to read them all. I am happy I found this series at such a great price. Now, I will have the opportunity.

2. Werewolf Series by Terry Spear
As many of you know...this is one of my favorite authors. The first time around, I had a difficult time getting some of her books...This time, I was fortunate enough to outbid others on Ebay for the whole set. YAY me.

3. The Jill Kismet Series by Lilith Saintcrow.
I didin't get the whole series, but a lot of the first 4 books. I am hoping I will be able to pick up Heaven's Spite before the next book Angel Town comes out. I have also been watching for a lot containing her Dante Valentine Series.  I don't think a library should be without these urban fantasy novels.
 
As for receiving books for review....I haven't really been taking all that many. I need to get used to managing my time. I haven't had a job for years and years...and now all of a sudden I am working my ass off...It takes a little getting used to. I think once things settle down...I will have a handle on it.
 
Once again...to Michelle, Kelly Meding, and Sara M. Thank you all soooo much. I really do appreciate all that you have done. *hugs*

I didin't get the whole series, but a lot of the first 4 books. I am hoping I will be able to pick up Heaven's Spite before the next book Angel Town comes out. I have also been watching for a lot containing her Dante Valentine Series.  I don't think a library should be without these urban fantasy novels.
 
As for receiving books for review....I haven't really been taking all that many. I need to get used to managing my time. I haven't had a job for years and years...and now all of a sudden I am working my ass off...It takes a little getting used to. I think once things settle down...I will have a handle on it.
 
Once again...to Michelle, Kelly Meding, and Sara M. Thank you all soooo much. I really do appreciate all that you have done. *hugs*
