Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Farther into and loving it. Kicking myself for not starting this a whole lot sooner.

Finished & really enjoyed it, in spite of the false advertising.

Starting/Currently Reading:

I finished and have to say that I fully agree with Josie and Ames opinion about Kiyo! Before this book I just found him a bit annoying, but after... well, what can I say, I now certainly agree with wishing a fiery death on him.

@Sandra and Vivian - I'm really enjoying Ender's Game. It's a fantastic read. I wonder why I haven't picked it up earlier.

Vivian wrote: "@Kerstin - was my favorite "school" read. Hope you enjoy it!

@Sandra - Are you on ? I'm reading it too, partly because it's an "X" book..."

No, I haven't started yet, waiting on it from the library. Might be a while yet, looking forward to it though. Would of liked to read these books in school but I'm a little too old *sigh* for that.

@Daffodil, glad you're liking I think I've got this month in a challenge.

@Daffodil, GTK. I've got that one to start.

@Lethal, false advertising?

@ Steph: It's marketed as a UF but it's a PNR IMO.

A bit, it felt more UF w/some romance. I do wonder how much romance will be in the other books. I'm hoping for more action, less romance with the series. But really like the David, so some wouldn't be a bad thing, for me.

Plus, PNR would mean a HEA in each book. Kinda hoping it doesn't go that far with the romantic aspects.

Read which reminded me of MaryJanice Davidson's books which were referred to in this. It was different seeing a parent as the main character for a change but I would've liked to see more of the kids.

Yeah, the kids are more background than fore in that series, Ames. She focuses more on the single parent's romance/HEA. More of the kids would be interesting though.

Humming and hawing over which book to read so I don't upset Bingo, then I thought what the heck I'll read what I want to read.

So started and I'm really liking it so far. You can feel the desperation of Dylan who wants to save his clan.

Finished and I just <3 this series. Mercy may be my favorite female lead (but that probably changes depending on what I just read). I was only slightly disappointed that there wasn't too much of the side characters, but what you get with Mercy and Adam is so good, it more than makes up for it and thinking about the book makes me smile :D

Sandra wrote: "You can feel the desperation of Dylan who wants to save his clan."

I thought so too. I thought she did a very good job of bringing us right into his world and the pain of their losses.

Really looking forward to Quinn's story in #2, Hidden Embers. So glad you're liking it.

YAY!! Really excited about that one. Come on mailman!

So I am now reading and it is so good. I feel like I am with old friends. :) I am only 11% in, but am loving it.

A book that makes you smile is a good thing. :) I loved that Stefan appeared right at the beginning and the thing that happens around 10% definitely made me smile. :)

This sounds interesting, I havent heard of it before -- thanks for posting about it.

Me too! I hadn't read anything about the book, so it totally took me by surprise :)

ETA:
(response to 10% thing)

Oh, and just read . So so good. There's only a few YA series that I really really enjoy, and this is one of them. Snarky humor, a feel-good vibe, and wacky characters you just gotta love :)

Glad you're enjoying RM, Regina! Can't wait for mine to get here! Hope my mailman didn't get lost on his trek across the big blue. ;)

GTK, Vivian. I have #1 TBR and just keep forgetting about it.

These mailmen need to hurry up with their deliveries!

Absolutely! Gonna gift mine with some wings for future use. ;)

Forced myself to put down , so I could read my Bingo read yesterday.

Faefever was a great read. The best thing about this book is the character of Jericho Barrons. He's a mystery; is he good or bad? Is he Fae or something else? Everytime we get some hint or clue it only leads to more questions. Luckily I already have the fourth book on hand, so the cliffhanger ending won't drive me too crazy!

came Saturday and I started it also. But I had to leave it home today. :( I don't like carrying my "keeper" hardback books to work with me. I've had too many accidents with leaky lunch containers and punctured pop cans to feel secure in that, so I'll be reading Warrior on my lunch hour.

I gave River Marked 5 stars. Finished it last night around 1 am. I just love Adam and Mercy, it is such a sweet but filling book. I never want to rush through her books.

I am reading two Net Galley books right now:

Daffodil, JZB is one of the best male characters written in an UF series in my opinion. He is very interesting to read!

Read which was sad (it's about a teenage girl who'd been raped), had some great ideas but the writing wasn't the best, IMO.

Also bought and read which read like it was set in the same world as their Edge series. I really enjoyed it.

in paper.
on my Sony Pocket.
in audio.

I finished and enjoyed it. The end definitely made up for the beginning, although it wasn't terrible (the beginning). Dare I say it had some similarities to "the series that shall not be named"? LOL! None of the "bad bits" of that one though. Plus, shifters are hotter. LOL! I also read the prequel, such as it was, could'a been a bit longer than it was, not much too it really. I wasn't sure when I was reading #1 if I'd continue to #2, until the end. Now, I know I will check it out.

Started which has been on my TBR Mt for just about as long as I've been reading. LOL! I have it in several challenges, so there's no getting around it. I forced myself to plug it into March challenges, just to be sure I didn't put it off until Dec '11. Only 7% or so in and remembering why I bought the bloody thing. I like the vamps in the series and had forgotten all about the vamp/were troubles brewing. Getting (or trying to get) excited about diving back into that world again.

Still trying to find the time to listen to . I want to focus my attention 100% so I don't miss anything. But, everytime I hit 'play' I get distracted by something else (ADD ... ah, pretty .... gotta make a list .... Bingo .... oh, crap!) and realize I wasn't listening. Augh! LOL! >:) I'll get it read one way or another before the month's over.

I am looking forward to your thoughts on Nightshade, AV. Hope it lives up to the beauty of the book itself (cover/pages).

Just started and really enjoy it as it dives right into the action.

I'm also reading .

I like that about that series too, Kerstin.

AV - hope you like . I almost bought it after borrowing and reading it from the library just for the pretty cover. The book itself I liked a lot too.

I am reading the most amazing book right now AND it was free from NetGalley: . I am a little over 1/2 way through, but it is so intense. The characters are amazing and it is very spooky. There is this horrible (but good!) feeling that something very scary is right around the corner. And I think the setting for me is so real, it is (I think) the U of W college campus, it is told from 4 POVs -- 2 male students and then 2 female college professors. But it is very effective. I actually had trouble going to sleep last night and nothing has happened yet but there is that feeling, you know?

That sounds really good Regina! I might have to add it to my ever growing TBR mountain.

It is good and so far the bad group are a scary group of soriority sisters. I know that sounds silly (it does even as I type it). But there are complex relationship issues, truly felt love, and even explicit sex. :)

Sounds quite spooky Regina!

@Lethal: Hope you enjoy it! Never tried that series... yet :)

Just finished my 200th book!!! I feel I've reached quite a milestone :D

congratz Josie! beautiful number! Now aim for the 500th! :D

Wow Josie!!!!

Thanks, Josie! Congratulations on your 200th book! You go, girl!

Hooray, Josie!

I'm currently reading . Read the first two books last year, but didn't read the third until a couple of weeks ago. Once I finished it, I just had to finish up the rest of the series. I'm not done with the book, but O M G. I can't even guess how it's going to end.

Sounds good, Regina! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy!

Congrats, Josie! :D

:) Alyssa, enjoy! I am always bummed when a fun series comes to an end. Looking forward to the spin-off/new one though.

I agree Steph. :( It is hard saying goodbye to favorite characters.

Finished yesterday, 4 stars, just cause JR Ward knows how to write, even though Phury is not my fav brother.

About to start

I'm looking forward to your thoughts on "Burning Alive", Regina. Been interested in that one too.

I really liked Burning Alive.

Currently Reading:

I'm probably going to start one of my BSB books ( & ) today too. Do I want to feel like Emo shit or do I want to laugh? Hmmm....

I am not huge fan of PNR but I am really liking Burning Alive.

Reading . Also a free ebook on Amazon right now. Even if it wasn't free, I'd say it's a pretty good book so far :)

ETA: scratch that. Don't bother. Not that great. 2 stars.

Still trekking through . I like it, but am struggling to get through it for some reason.

I really enjoyed Burning Alive for a PNR, I gave it 3.5 stars. I liked the story arc, I read that some people were bothered by the heroine, but I don't get that (but then again I liked Mac in Fever ;) ). One of the set ups to the story is similar to the set up in CL Wilson's Lord of the Fading Lands -- a race of people are dying, the women are dissapearing, nobody is fertile and the race needs a mated pair to help the men support the burden of their power/acts and to fight. But I liked how it was set up better in Burning Alive (as compared to the CL Wilson series, which I didnt care for).

@ Vivian thanks for letting us know, I had downloaded that book. And sometimes good books leave me struggling and I can't figure out why.
