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 just finished reading an ARC for Virtue Falls by Christina Dodd and it was very good. If I am to be picky, there were a couple of points I could make, but overall, very good.

I really believe in the love between Elizabeth and Garik, and I'm so glad they got a second chance together.

Tell us about your latest RS reads here.

Welcome, Lucy!

I agree!

Is it a problem for you when a writer throws in different aspects of various genres when they write? Or is it about how it's done?

I was thinking about this because I kind of like it when a book straddles genres. Only time it's an issue for me is if the book is mismarketed deliberately.

What do you think?

What are some good examples of this done well?

Glad to hear it!

Good job, Anne, but you need another S. You used Gena Showalter once already. You can only use an author's name once, even if it's different books. You can use different books by the same author, but it would have to be a different book title used for the letter.

Does that make sense?

I've watched The Wolverine about six times now. I love that movie!

The Heat with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy is another favorite. Hilarious.

No, I haven't. I'll check for it at the library. Thanks for the rec.

Susan, I loved Lethal. Definitely a Coburn fan! I need to pull Envy off my shelf and read it soon.

Which hero was your favorite in June and why?

Glad you joined us, Jamie.

Way to go, Ladies!

Welcome, Karla. We're glad you joined!

Either is fine, but if you add to your original post, please write the message number so I can verify that you have finished the challenge.

Congratulations, Natalie! You can reset your goal if you want.
