Since I last posted I finished 
which I really enjoyed! Started and finished 
, which was a great book and I highly recommend it and have started and am almost finished with 
Lily,
First Lord's Fury came out 11/24/09, so you're not far behind. It's very, very good, so you'll want to get it. 25 library books? Tell me that some are your kids!
I finished Devil May Cry and Upon a Midnight Clear. Am currently reading Dream Chaser, all by Sherrilyn Kenyon.
I finished Divine Misdemeanors on Saturday and really liked it, maybe because I expected it to be so awful. I did the "Phrases I never want to hear again" drinking game and had 13 shots of Bailey's. Was pretty toasted by the end of the day. My family thinks I'm weird. :)
Ack Lily - computer problems are no fun but maybe it will give you the extra time to get through those 25 books, YIKES!
I just finished 
and thought it was a good anthology. I really enjoyed 3 out of the 4 stories. I'm now reading 
Also, I miss blogging. My granddaughter dropped my laptop so my computer is kaput. I still get on for a minute at work but cant do much more then lurk there. I am gunna get a new computer after christmas. Tonight I am tapping the keys at my library and they are blinking the lights to remind me it is time to go. Soo gotta go! Good reading all.
Lily
Oh my gosh! I have 25 books out from the library. I am swimming in books. BUT I did not know first lords fury was out! I gotta gotta have it. Currently reading Howling Legion and the second book in the Vampire Huntress book, and have so many books I have been waiting for including Canticle, Blue Diablo, Forest of Hands and Teeth, Elantris, and many the whole series of Amber (Old school fantasy). Oh well. Glad to here First Lord is good. I guess I should get back to my books.

It's the characters themselves. They are sort of stock characterizations - the guy with the bad boy image who isn't, the heroine who doesn't really have faith in her abilities, etc. There just isn't anything about them that makes me care about what happens to them.
Amanda I LOVED Hunger Games & the sequel Catching Fire! I hope you like them.
Sandy - that's a series & author I've never heard of before. Why do you think you're not connecting with the characters? Is it the characters themselves or the writting style??
I'm about 3/4 done with 
I'll finish it but I'm not really connecting with the characters. I won't pick up the next in the series.
I just finished 
, and now I'm starting 
' it looks really short so I'll most likely have it done today or maybe tomorrow but im thinking today, then I'll move on to 
, I've heard good things about this series but don't know too much about it yet.

I liked the Host...even though there is not alot that really happens as far as action. The bulk of the book deals with the internal struggle between the host body and the wanderer...the seconday issue is Wanderer's interaction with the people who hate her and don't want to give her a chance. I also liked it because I liked both characters and would have been unhappy if either had disappeared.
I am reading a YA Wish You Were Dead by Todd Strasser which I'm enjoying when I'm reading it, but I'm finding it easy to not be reading. Next up is Playing with Fire by Gena Showalter, a challenge book.

I loved this book. I am not a big fan of Stephenie Meyer, but I love this book. It does take a little bit to get started, but it has a great story once it gets going. Everyone I have talked into reading liked it a lot. I would highly recommend it.

I LOVE the Sookie books! Book 4, DEAD TO THE WORLD, is still my favorite of the series.
I'll definetly read it as soon as I have time, which seems to be something that I'm lacking right now. But once the Christmas holidays start I should have more time :D

I'm having a hard time deciding who to hope for - The Wandere..."I have read it and I think it is worth reading and I may even read it again. It is a very strange book but it makes you think about things and is interesting if you can stick through it to the end. If either of you finish it I would love to chat about what you thought of it.
I am currently reading the Sookie Stackhouse series. I got it (7 book box set) as a 2 year anniversary gift from my boyfriend. I am on the second book (Living Dead in Dallas) I haven't gotten far yet but I expect I will like it. :) I am kinda afraid to look at all of the books you are all reading. I have over 200 books in my to read shelf now I think...

I have that book on my shelf but still haven't read it, I don't know why, Ijust skip over it every time I go to get a book to read :S
When you get further let us know what you think of it.
I've finally started The Host. I think I'm on chapter 9 or 10 and I'm not sure what to think of it yet. I'm having a hard time deciding who to hope for - The Wanderer who so far seems to be the main character or Melanie. I'm trying to keep my mind open to the whole parasite thing but... it's a little hard to sympathize with the 'Souls'.
I'm reading . I just finished 
and LOVED it!! I cant wait to read the next book in the series!! Hilarious and sexy romance story!

I haven't read that one in a while so I don't really remember when it gets exciting, I just remember liking it, although it is a little different and some people don't like it.
Finished Dark Side of the Moon by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Least favorite book in the Kenyon series I've read so far. Started Dream Hunter last night.

I liked FADE OUT and thought SHADOWLAND was a total waste of time. Hope you like it. It just goes absolutely nowhere.
I just finished which was good but not quite as good as the books before...now I am reading and I see lots of people posting about Graceling, I really loved that book and I have Fire sitting here looking at me but I have heard that Fire is not as good as Graceling...we shall see. And then I have
to read for a December challenge. And on and on LOL
Amanda wrote: "I'm finally starting wicked lovelyWicked Lovely and then after I'm thinking Graceling"Hey, what did you think of Wicked Lovely, I liked it , but I know that there are some people who don't.
Finished On the Edge and I just finished listening to Shakespeare's Champion and started Shakespeare's Christmas. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't enjoyed the written form, but the oral form of the book is nice. I'll listen to the entire Lily Bard series.
I started Lament The Faerie Queen's Deception. I have no idea whether or not it's a good book.
I finished 
last night, here's my review if anyone is curious, and now I'm starting 
. I read the first Morganville book a while ago and I can't remember what happened at the end. I think I have to dig it out and read the last few chapters to refresh. I hate when that happens.
I really liked the Aisling Grey series. I thought parts of the books were really funny.
I finished Sins of the Night and Unleash the Night. I'm starting Dark Side of the Moon. All by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I'm liking the books a lot so far but thought the ending for Unleash the Night was really, really hokey.
I just finished 
and am about to start 
while I await the last book in the Aisling Grey series from the library.
Finished Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dance with the Devil, Night Play and Seize the Night. Am in the middle of Sins of the Night. I really like these books.
Started yesterday. We got it in early at work and we can check out strict on sale titles so I'm glad I brought back Under the Dome on Thursday!
I just finished 
Well unfortunately I can only say this first book was just OK for me. I found the two female characters kinda annoying and childish. I did think there was some smart and witty writing so I will try the next book in the series and hopefully it will get better. I'm now moving on to

"..."it was actually pretty good, and humorous. It has a lot of girly elements but after a bit you get used to it. I'll probably read the next one in the series ...one day :P
