I just picked up Zen and the Art of Vampires by Katie MacAlister.
Has anyone read Nalini Singh's Silhouette Desire books? If so, what are they like? I'm really liking the Psy/Changeling and Angel's Blood series, and was wondering if her other books were as good.
Elyssa wrote: "I'm reading A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. I find myself doing a lot of rereading. Her writing is just not sticking, I'm not sure why. "
I tried that series and really hated the first two books. I didn't like any of the characters because they kept doing stupid things for no good reason. Selfish--that's what they were.
I'm about to start either the first Victoria Nelson book by Tanya Huff (Blood Price), or the last Looking Glass Wars book by Frank Beddor (ArchEnemy). Haven't decided yet.
Just started Caressed By Ice by Nalini Singh.

Sure. People post books they're willing to trade in a swappable shelf. If someone posts that they have added books to a swappable shelf, you can go to that person's profile and see if there's anything you want. If there is, you can ask that person to trade for something on your own swappable shelf. It's just trading a book for a book (minus the postage to ship it).
I'm going through You Can't Hide by Karen Rose pretty quickly, and I'm still working on Covet by JR Ward.
