Danielle The Book Huntress ’s Comments (group member since Jan 27, 2010)

Danielle The Book Huntress ’s comments from the Dangerous Hero Addict Support Group group.

I see your point. I definitely didn't mean it in a negative sense. My book collection is well-kept and I don't have pest problems. For me, I speak facetiously. I consider myself a book hoarder in that I tend to have a huge attachment to my collection and it's one of the things I still collect.

I also collect art and craft supplies.

Sounds just like my book situation, Noelle. :)

I think I have to consider myself one. I do tend to hoard books by my favorite authors, series even themes. I let them pile up to savor before, during and after I read them. I enjoy the collecting much as the reading.

Curious if you consider yourself a book hoarder. What's your criteria for it?

I keep rereading the GhostWalker books by Christine Feehan. Comfort reads.

Good job, Natalie!

That was fun. Liked the tension. They are both playing games.

Welcome, Aubrey.

I'm working on the October challenge and I will post it today!

I don't think I will be able to finish The Deep End by tomorrow so I settled for 3 books.

Turn over a new leaf 3-4 books:
2. Back to School-Gabriel's Inferno
5. Autumn Equinox Day-Catch..."

Way to go, Angel!

Hi Angel. I'm a big fan. I especially love her GhostWalkers series and my second favorite is the Sisters of the Heart series. I'm excited about the new series with the guys that went to the Russian Assassin school. Judgment Road looks good.

I do have to complain that she is getting to heavily into the sexual dominance thing for my tastes.

Angel that would definitely count since it includes the term honey.

sorry for the typo. The challenge runs from September 1st to September 30th.

I finally started Shameless, the last in the much beloved (by me) Rohan series.

Hello, DHASGers!

Our September monthly challenge is up. You are more than welcome to participate as a member of the group.

DHASG September Challenge

I am currently working on a Justice League Challenge. I will try to have that posted in the next week or so and I will post info when I have that done.

I need to start this series!
