Steven’s comments from the Sinful Readers Anonymous group.

So, I'm following along with the reading order and am finally back to Mercy #2 after 2.5 books of Anna. I'm having a hard time adjusting back to the differences in character!

But one chapter in and I'm already interested in seeing where this one goes, because man alive that vampire in chapter one was creepy as all get out! :)

I have the first book in that series on my physical bookshelf waiting to be read. I stumbled upon it at the used book store a few years ago, and saw that Douglas Preston (one of my favorite authors) had given a blurb/line for the cover.

So far I like Anna and Charles more, but I've only read one Mercy book! X)

MURDER BY DEATH IS A GREAT MOVIE!

I'll be there soon! You can use spoiler tags if you want/know how! :)

Haha, can't blame anyone... it's good to share great series with others! :D

Yeah you are! WOW! At least she decided to keep writing them :)

Oh, if your least favorite is still a four, that bodes well :)

You didn't like Frost Burned or Night Broken as much?

No, not yet... but thankfully, there are a lot of good books coming between now and then too to tide us over! :D

Murder? What do you mean... Murder??? ~Wadsworth

(OMG CLUE IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER)

Fingerprints

No problem! I hate reading stories out of order, so when Sonia sent me the order, I knew when I made these threads I'd have to share them for others! :D

I *really* like Charles and Anna. I hope when I jump back to Mercy (my next read is Blood Bound, Mercy #2) that I still like her hahaha.

Okay, I'm going to try to get this back on the Mystery/Thriller words track...

since Stay Puft Marshmallows are white...

This is truly bizarre, dear."

It's Looney Tunes, of course. But that's what was floating around in my head. X)

Wow, Alpha & Omega is so good! And Cry Wolf was awesome!

Reading Hunting Ground now before I jump back to Mercy #2 Blood Bound. Can't stop... amazing! :)

(I think I'm a little in love with Charles. haha)

I've read Moon Called and The Star of David (short story) so far and loved it!

Working on the Alpha & Omega books now, since I'm trying to read in the best order :)

Why am I reading this?
Because I am addicted to Urban Fantasy and it's high time I got to the Mercy Thompson world!

How am I reading this?
Kindle/ebook
