35559 It was and it really needed editing. Could have saved at least 50 pages! Thanks, LK!
35559 Singapore, exactly 12 hours ahead of NY time.

35559 Lisa Kay, just checking- do we need to verify page number for ebook only versions? I'm pretty sure Golden Trail is more than 160 pages..
35559 And I just finished the first book! Is it okay that I tagged now?

35559 @Rebecca: So I have to commit to *yet* another series? Ummmmm

I'm reading House of Chains (Malazan Book of the Fallen, #4) by Steven Erikson and Golden Trail (The 'Burg, #3) by Kristen Ashley . It's been a while since I read the first two books in the 'Burg series. This book's starting is a little abrupt but it's going on ok. I do wish the people in KA's universe stop whispering so often. I can't remember the last time I whispered when I was at home.

35559 @Katie - Good to know. I'll put it on standby in case we need another black cover. Though the subject makes me a little nervous.

And whatever are sisters for if you cannot "borrow" the books :)

35559 Catherine, you should go to the sister group and from there to the challenges. That way, you can be 100% sure that they did read that book.

35559 I hate doing dishes too. Usually I let hubby do it.

35559 @Katie: Good Morning to you too! You and Rebecca have similar tastes also, huh? That's nice. I've tried to get my bro to read but he is just allergic to it right from a kid. :(

How's Crank (Crank, #1) by Ellen Hopkins ? Is it very intense? It looks interesting though..

35559 @Leslie: I really like your reviews. It sold me on both books Venom & A Bed of Spices. Thanks for push on the Gin Blanco series. It has been on my TBR for so long mainly because I've been ambiguous about an assassin lead. I haven't read the synopsis on A Bed of Spices and I'm planning not to. I'm going by your review :)

@Melissa: Ah, ok. I was intrigued by the whale thingy. I didn't get to read HQN much when I was in the teens. I got intro'd only a few years back actually. I do have some authors who are good esp the Superromance which is like normal contemp romance. And these books work well when I've finished a door stopper.

35559 I didn't know this before I started the series. So I think it's something you'd be bothered if there was short gaps between the books. Or so is my theory. I have to pick up #8 to test though. I do know other fans of the series aren't bothered by this. *Shrugs*

35559 And in the later books, he'll constantly mention how he's an old-fashioned gentleman and doesn't hit girls. It gets annoying real fast.

35559 Re: Dresden Files: Lauren, so true! That part really irritated me in book #7 after which I had to take a break. Of course, it didn't help that I *almost* read the books back-to-back. It's one of the major irritation factor in the series.

35559 I just finished Web of Lies (Elemental Assassin, #2) by Jennifer Estep . It was soooo much better than the first book and made me glad that I had picked it up from the library. Leslie, I think you are right. I am going to get addicted to this. I'm already planning a library trip today. There are obvious flaws like the info dump but I just zip through them. I'm planning to start it on June 1st so that it'll fit category 7, letter V.

Thanks for the recs, Leslie. I think I can get my hands on A Bed of Spices by Barbara Samuel which might be soon-ish read.
