Well in the case of Vampire Diaries... It might have been for the best. The books aren't exactly that great to begin with... Not that the show is a masterpiece either, but it was really entertaining.

Oh right, I see. I think I marked the first book as maybe a while back. I wasn't really sure about it. but now I'll definitely move it to to read.
I haven't read one single Jocelynn Drake book yet, even though I have a few of her books on my TBR. I tried to read Unbreakable Bonds but I wasn't in the mood so I put it down. It's time I try her books!

Yes, the audio is nice as well. I'm doing a mix of physical reading and listening for this one.

Exactly. One of the things I liked with the Variks, was that although they could be awake during day time..."

Sounds good !
The variks... is that a book series? :) I'm interested now. I know you mentioned it a few times now.

Good morning Sonia !

I feel you. I hate it when authors do a vampire story, but have nothing very vampiry except for the drinking blood thing. I want more lore, more magic and they need to have some weaknesses as well. For instance, a vampire's underrated weakness is the need to be invited inside thing. I think plotwise it makes things interesting sometimes, but few actually use it.

I'm currently reading the Misborn series. I'm almost finished with book 2 ! I'm glad because this series has been collecting dust on my shelves for way too long. I think I bought the series back in 2015 ! 😓 And I'm so happy to report I'm loving it so far. 😁

Hey Mods ! This is truly a-maze-ing. Can I sign up for a hard level maze, please? Many thanks 😊😊😊

Belated Happy Birthday, Tone and Sonia !!!! 🥳

Congrats Karen !!!

My current obsession? Matt Simmons. He's the complete package. Plus, he rides a bike.

I completely get your obsession. I don't watch Criminal Minds, but he's a damn fine man. That he is!

We can say it worked out well in the end. I'm so happy we completed the mini !

Teehee ^^

Now I've added it to both. I didn't even notice the mask before. lol

Done ! :)

I have some shorter books I haven't put on the spreadsheet, so if anything's missing we can look into those.
