I wondered if it was me. Since I couldn't tell. Glad someone else is taking time too!

Review

This book really dragged on at the beginning, because it was pretty much just Sookie doing her daily life stuff and I really didn't care to hear about her peeling sweet potatoes for a casserole or if she shaved her legs.

The romance was also lacking Sookie was living like a nun.

Of course there was a major mystery that she had to solve and blah blah blah. To sum it up I was just bored. I think the only thing that made me give this book 3 stars was the last chapter and oddly enough I find myself looking forward to the last book to see what Sookie's ever after will be.

Its because i'm being a chicken so I keep stopping reading this when it gets dark :-)

Elishia I was going to say your book looks awful scary and I am waiting to see what you think of it before I add it to my TBR list.

I try not to do scary, they give me nightmares. LOL.

LOL Same here. I was intrigued because of the Amish setting but a few pages in she saw something and I thought don't think i'll be reading this at night ( I live alone so i'd freak myself out). But i'm staying at my mums for a few days so i'll read it while I have company.

Book: Serpent's Kiss by Thea Harrison
date read: 10/10/2012
rating: 4 stars

This book was so different from the first two, Dragon Bound and Storm's Heart in Elder Races series. Much less action and much more romance and this book was rather slow paced.
But I liked it better nevertheless.
I didn't care much of Dragos or Tiego , heroes of the first two books. They were all about raw power and predators killer instincts. Utterly alphas. In this book , Rune the Wyr sentinel, was much more intelligent, with a good sense of humor, patient and controlled his predator powers better. Of course an alpha-male, too, but not so robust and much more likable.
The story of romance/mating with Carling, the old Vampire Queen was sweet and I liked the way Rune broke down her barriers and fight for their love to find a cure to stop Carling slowly dying. He would have done anything to help her and he did.
Best book in Elder Race's series and I look forward to read the next one.

I'll be finished by tomorrow if I don't have any interruptions.

Review: I wasn't sure how this book was going to work at the beginning but I really liked it. I liked learning more about the Amish community and liked that Katie was a bit rebellious. I even liked the fact that the vampires were actually scary beast things :-) and not the typical vampires.

Way to go ladies we are ready for our Vampires stamp!

CONGRATULATIONS, Six Sirens!
You now have an updated BINGO card with a stamp on 'vampires'.

I can't wait for the next shelf to be called. Hopefully it will be one in our favor.

Shelf ... shelf ... shelf ... LOL

LMAO

Steph put a shelf up!! Series Catch-up. Now to start looking.

I know I don't know what to read to much choice.

Okay, I am going to read one of these: or or this book I can't remember the title or author except it starts with an R and it is book 3...

Or something else if I find it while I'm looking for those three... :-}

This one is really bad because you don't have to read a paranormal if you are dying to read something in a mystery series or sci fi or whatever...

i'm not good when I have too much choice. Although some of my options are limited because i'm staying at my mums for a few days so I only have ebooks with me. I THINK i'll be reading or

you can't read Champion, not enough pages. It has to be 200 or more, and book 2 or later.

oh didn't know about the book 2 bit, I keep forgetting to check the page numbers.

Ok i'll be reading the above or one of these or i'll decide once I finish what i'm reading.

Oh man the choices!

I'm the same, too many choices!!!

Options from challenges this month ...



I'm tempted to go Vampire Mine, just cause I've been trying to read it all year and keep putting it off.

You can read the Rake book too, it is book 3 and long enough.

Jackie M wrote: "Oh man the choices!"

I know, I have pulled out a stack, none of which are the books I mentioned (haven't found them yet) and I am looking for the one I had started and lost in an earlier challenge, because I don't want to forget EVERYTHING!

I am going to read .

I am going to read Sin Undone.

I will read Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

Decided on and am 24% done :)

I accidentally posted book 1 of the Birthmarked Trilogy, but I am reading for Series Catch-up.

LOL I wondered about that :)

I liked all of these, and although this one had a lot of icky stuff, and sometimes I wondered if Gaia's brains had fallen out (why keep trusting someone every 10 pages when all they do is torture you, kill your friends, lie, steal your things, try to execute you constantly etc etc.)

But still, I enjoyed it and am sorry this came to an end. She really grew up.

For some reason I kept putting off reading this one, and I shouldn't have.

Connor Buchanan, 499 yr old vamp, Roman's personal bodyguard, has been in a funk, and isn't happy that all his vamp buddies have been falling in love, marrying, and having children. It's not that he begrudges them happiness, he just doesn't know why they are doing it.

That is until he hears fighting, screams & sees lightning close by to a Casimir attack. He rushes to the rescue and finds a woman, wounded & bleeding in the dirt. He thinks she is a rebellious Malcontent and takes her to Romatech to be healed and to be interrogated. Little does he know the consequences of his actions. For she is an Angel of Death.

If I say anymore it would just be spoilers, so go read it yourselves.

Ok i'm reading should be finished by tomorrow.

Great job Deidre and Sandra!

Thanks Jackie ;)

Hope you're enjoying Hunter's Prayer.

I'm enjoying it, but have a headache today so it's slow going.

Bugger! That's no good Jackie. Hope its gone by now.

Book: Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

rating: 4 stars

I liked how and where the story moves in the second book of the Uglies series.
This book was a good surprise. Picked it up from library because it was just there in front of me on the table. Glad I did.
We have a look into Pretties carefree living and Tally's and Zane's struggle to remember the life before and the attempt to break free.
Dystopia is really not my cup of tea but I think I will continue with this series. It's not so violent as the other dystopia books I have read.
I really want to know if Tally will find power within herself to stay strong against all odds and through more brain alterations.
