Sarah’s Comments (group member since Nov 10, 2010)

Sarah’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

That's what I was thinking, I think I'll switch Curran in for Alpha and move Ethan Sullivan to Tycoon...

I really want to fit Curran somewhere that isn't taken but I can't find the right spot for him... he seems like the Tycoon type but he doesn't really shower Kate with gifts but then he could be the Daredevil...

advice, anyone? haha :) Where would you put Curran?

*for those who don't know he's from the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews :)

Maybe Ethan (currently holding the Alpha) spot could be a Tycoon, he is a Master Vampire after all with a whole house at his disposal and he did buy clothes for Merit...hmmm...

Congrats on a new bookcase!! :) I'm getting a new bookcase this week and I'm very excited to be able to spread all my books out, they're getting cramped on this tiny bookcase!

I live in California and not to brag but it is very pretty in the Spring :)

The East Coast is very pretty!!! I went a long time ago for about a week and I loved it. I live on the West Coast though so it's not that easy to go back and forth.

There you go, those cargo planes have tons of room!! I bet you could at least fit all the books.... I'm not sure about anything else though! Where are you moving to?

The hardcover edition was only $9.71 at Amazon.com and that's why I decided to get it. Plus I thought the cover was amazing but I have also heard good things about the book. I'm very excited to read it when it gets here.

I've found that the first book of a series doesn't always lead up to the hype of a series so I usually try to read the second book of a series to get a good feel for the series. :) I hope I enjoy it too but it has vampires so I'm sure I'll like it lol. Just let me know :)

Well I'm hoping that the really big bookcase I get will help for awhile.... I'm sure that's what my fiance hopes hahaha He has his video games and trading cards while I have my books. Everyone has their vice and at least I'm not addicted to drugs or alcohol, right? :D

I have a very very small bookcase right now, but in a couple days I'm getting a very large bookcase so that they'll all have a home :)

I'm just glad my fiance doesn't flip over my addiction! haha

I actually haven't read Some Girls Bite yet but I've heard such amazing things about the series that I'm sure I'll want the rest and Amazon had them for a really good price so I thought why not? haha. I would gladly share my books with you Sashana!
