So far I like it...she has put a neat twist on vampires that I am liking. If you have a droid phone there is a reader app Laputa and they have a lot of series for free....including the Dark series.

Just starting Faefever...I'm hooked on the series now LOL

I'm thinking my next series is going to be Already Dead (Joe Pitt Series #1) by Charlie Huston, anyone checked that out yet?

Only1JenB July 10th 2010, 4:29 pm

I've never heard of it....what is the theme?

raki July 10th 2010, 5:26 pm

Charlie Huston wrote The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death, which AB is filming a pilot for HBO based on that book. I came across this series while looking up more info on that book. I figure if AB is a fan its worth a try!

A classic to be sure.

I am rereading A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf. I love it!

I read "Of Mice and Men" for Jason. Apparently, the book inspired the Grateful Dead song "Jack Straw" and Jason was trying to figure out some lines. He hates to read, so he begged me to. I'm glad he did! It is a fantastic novel!!

Flirt - Laurell K. Hamilton
I am finally almost caught up. This book is really short.

LKH called it a novella. I really didn't like it. The whole time that I'm reading it, I'm like "what's the point"? I'm glad I only spent $10 for it on my Kindle. Bullet is much better!

I often find Merry mor refreshing than Anita. She has fewer hang-ups that seem to plague Anita.

I do love Merry. She definitely gets over her hang-ups faster than Anita. I really, really like the Merry series.

But I have to say, I'm pacing the floor for the next in the Fever series. I have to know... was it HIM? O, gosh don't let it be HIM! and that's all I'm gonna say.

And for those reading the Hunter series... if you're only reading the Dream Hunter series, you're missing out. The Dark Hunter series is AMAZING. I would read them all over again just to get to Acheron's story. It is incredibly heart-breaking and satisfying all at the same time.

And about those starting the Carpathian series... I loved the first few books. But she definitely has a formula and stick rigidly to it throughout the series. So if you've read one, you've just about read them all. Does that mean I don't shell out the $$ when they come out Nope. I still buy them. :)

raki September 29th 2010, 9:34 pm

I'm with you Val... can't wait for the next Fever book! I'll be so sad if its HIM

Currently I'm on book 5 in the Riley Jenson Guardian series by Keri Arthur, has anyone else read these books? Along with book three in the Chronicles of the Necromancer series by Gail Martin.

SugarMags September 30th 2010, 9:22 am

Yes!! I agree - read the entire Dark-Hunter series in order! Archeron's story is just amazing. What did you think of the newest one - No Mercy? I really liked it, although it wasn't my favorite.

I cannot wait until the newest Fever. Is it HIM? Argh, don't know, just counting the seconds until we can find out!!

I was thinking of starting the Carpathians soon... thanks for the recommendation, Val!

"Styx's Storm" by Lora Leigh. The latest in her "Breeds" Series.

SugarMags October 24th 2010, 4:12 pm

OK. I want to start the Carpathian series by Christine Feehan. The first novel, "Dark Prince" is the only one not available on Kindle!! AARRGH. So, I go online to try and buy a copy. Nope. No-one has a copy of this novel for sale! Mad

I may actually have to visit the library for this one.

That leaves me with one question - if I read the 2nd novel before I can get my hands on the first, will it throw me off too much?

Aslinn Dhan October 24th 2010, 7:25 pm

Hey Sugar, take a look in your PM box...Sent you something...

SugarMags October 25th 2010, 9:10 am

Thanks, Aslinn!! I just signed up!! I'll have to wait until tonight when I'm home to download the file. I'm trying to figure out how to transfer PDF files to my Kindle. Suspect

**UPDATE** It worked!! Thank you! Although reading PDF files is a bit of a PITA on the Kindle. Transferring the files over was really easy too.

raki November 12th 2010, 8:58 pm

Just started Blood Trinity (Belador Series #1) by Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love.

Linzy November 14th 2010, 2:08 am

I am reading Moon Called.
It is the first book in the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs.
It is okay so far.

TiffTiff November 14th 2010, 5:36 am

I just finished "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield and it was pretty good! I would definitely suggest it, it has quite a few twists. A bit predictable in some parts, but overall it was a good read.

Linzy November 23rd 2010, 10:54 pm

I finished up the Mercy Thompson Series. I liked it a lot.
Now I am starting the Alpha and Omega Series by Patricia Briggs.
