I think I got a bit over excited. It was on Wicked Scribes not Nalini's Update. I read the emails one after another. Still a great achievement.

Congratulations Doug on your review in Nalini Singh's newsletter! Good on you and good review. I must say I felt very proud to be a book friend for ten years now. It was 2009 when I first discovered the Group on Amazon and wow have I enjoyed wasting time.. oops I mean having deep and meaningful discussions about books and life since then, LOL.

I have two very close family members battling serious illness at the moment. I can only imagine how it must be to be your child. Sending you the very best of thoughts, hope things improve for you and your family soon.

Oh, that's good Douglas. Mine's in the mail and I'll be reading it as soon as it arrives.

I'm much preferring this series to psy changlings now because there is more story moving forward . Psy changlings seems to be stuck and focusing on the couples and all those metaphors/descriptive adjectives just get too much for me. And it's such a shame because I loved all the previous ghost storyline.

Yes, you're right. I should try one and see, on one of those 24 hour flights would be perfect. Maybe I'll start with an In Death, I think I'm up to Book 30 or so.

Glad to hear things seem to be looking up.

I must be in the minority but I like to read not listen. I've never done an audio book, maybe because I like to be immersed in the story and doing two things at once would be to distracting for me. Great that so many of you enjoy it though.

Thanks Lulu! You are now designated the groups "Carpathian Expert". No need for us to read them, we'll just get you to check in periodically with the updates and bring us all up to speed, LOL.

Vanessa, I've got the latest Juliet Marillier to read as well. I really love her writing too.

Ooh thank you! Your summary nearly makes me want to start reading again... but I will restrain the urge, LOL. I've moved away from paranormal these days only following a few series which I will probably follow to my dying day or the author's whichever comes first.

OMG, Lulu, I thought I was bad with the BDB.. seriously though if you're still enjoying it that's great. It got too much for me but I stuck it through till Skylar and Dimitri although I do occasionally wonder what happened to the females who were sleeping dragons... You can spoil for me if you want to, LOL.

Hope reading those books gives you some respite in the days ahead. You think you get your kids safely through child hood and then something so unexpected like this happens. Really hoping you and your family get some good news.

Great Vanessa. Another person with exceptional taste, LOLOL.

Oh No, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Thanks for the head's up. I just got it for my kindle.

Happy birthday Vanessa.

I'm halfway through . It's pretty quirky, they did a good job adapting it to the TV series.

That sounds good. Thanks for the tip. I enjoyed her Bedwyns series.

I know a few of you are fans of the late Terry Pratchett. I just watched Good Omens and enjoyed it a lot. It was a bit silly and quirky in parts but what an imaginative story. Now I'm going to backtrack and read the book.

Also reading this from indie writer Lauren Gilley. She writes a great biker story and now is writing an epic paranormal with her interpretation of the true story of Dracula.
