Crystal S’s Comments (group member since Jan 07, 2011)

Crystal S’s comments from the SOS: Serious Overload of Series group.

I sent everyone friend requests (that I wasn't already friends with). Do not be alarmed! It's just me. :-D

I am ready to win. Let's do this thing.

Triple Threat works for me. I'm off to a doctor appointment, then work. Such a fun day. I can hardly contain myself.

Well, alrighty then. I'm from Little Rock, Arkansas in the US. I live with my dog, Oliver. I'm a medical technologist, or a medical laboratory scientist (the professional terminology is changing). I run tests on blood, urine and other body fluids (yes, including poo) in a hospital lab. No one I know actually reads as much as I do and certainly no one reads the same kinds of books I do (primarily historical romance, erotica, PNR, UF, & YA paranormals). But most of you on Goodreads put me to shame. I just can't keep up! LOL

Here's my picks. I totally stole borrowed your "food item" book Sandra. ;-)

0/3

1. Color (green) - A Kiss in Time by Alex Flinn
2. ITEM #1 (food item) - I'm the Vampire, That's Why by Michele Bardsley
3. ITEM #2 (silhouette) - Summer Knight by Jim Butcher

Ok, here's my list. :-)

0/3 completed

1. PNR -or- UF - Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs
2. Fantasy - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling
3. St Pat's (magic users) - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

Barely did it, but I finished late last night.

Valentine's Day Duel
Category: "Valentine's Day is So Romantic!"
5/5 completed

1. Paranormal romance - Rises The Night by Colleen Gleason *finished 02/21*
2. Contemporary romance - Indecent Suggestion by Elizabeth Bevarly *finished 02/06/2011*
3. Sci-fi romance - Abandon by Kaitlyn O'Connor *finished 02/13/2011*
4. YA romance - Evermore by Alyson Noel *finished 02/22*
5. Erotic romance - Seduction by Aubrey Ross *finished 02/28*

Just peeking in to say hi! No suggestions for a team name. I'm about the least creative person ever.

Ok, after much debate with myself in my head (I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested) I've decided to join in the fun. It's not too late I assume? It's still the 26th here. It's ok if it is too late. I'll get over it. LOL

Hmm. My favorite series. So many to choose from. In no particular order:

1. Jim Butcher's Dresden Files
2. Richelle Mead's Georgina Kincaid series
3. JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood
4. Lynsay Sand's Argeneau Vampires
5. Patricia Brigg's Mercy Thompson series
6. Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters
7. Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampires
8. Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark
9. Colleen Gleason's Gardella Vampires
10. JK Rowling's Harry Potter series (which I don't think is what you are asking for, since it's strictly fantasy, but I just love them too much to not put them on the list)

I'm loving everyone else's lists. I have the first couple of books from the Chicagoland Vampires in my TBR mountain. Seeing them on so many of your lists makes me look forward to them. :-)

I'm in and will post my books later on when I get some time off work.

I'm in. I'll post my picks later.

Done!

ITEM #1: A heart or a couple - Abandon by Kaitlyn O'Connor *finished 02/13*
ITEM #2: A dagger - Rises The Night by Colleen Gleason *finished 02/21*

I've texted with people in the same room as me, usually for less than polite reasons (by that, I mean were talking about someone else in the room, so rude...) Anyway, I think I'm going to do this challenge, because I meant to do these re-reads anyway and maybe if I say I'll do it on here, I actually will. Ya know? I'd like to re-read the Harry Potter series before the last movie comes out (or at least before I see it, which will probably be opening weekend, cause I don't think I can wait any longer than that). So here is my official declaration.

I'm in. I'm going to do "Valentine's Day is So Romantic!" But only because those are the books I have, not because I think it is true. LOL I'll post my list later when I have time.
