I didn't really like KatMH but it was somewhat interesting. Not enough to make me finish the series right away though. Maybe some other day when I don't have anything else to read.

Finished Damien by Jacquelyn Frank and I must say that it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Roughly halfway through I noticed that I was getting bored with the book. I give it ★★

I just read #2...really liked it & looking forward to the next one! Hope you give it a try, too!

I read the first one, "Kitty and the Midnight Hour" what feels like forever ago. I did like it, but somehow, it got pushed further on my booksfree list. I am definitely interested in reading the next one so glad to hear it's a good one! :)

Thank you all for your opinions & advice! I really appreciate it!

@ Judith: It's a relief to know the 2nd book is good too. I want to read the 2nd book immediately! Unfortunately, my library carries every book in the series but that one so I'll have to wait until it gets posted to my PBS wishlist.

@ Angi: I'm happy to be of help. I have a friend on here who read the first book ages ago, as well. As soon as I get Kitty Goes to Washington, we're going to do a buddy read. Your welcome to join us if you'd like.

WTG Bookworms!

I have not read Kitty and the Midnight Hour yet, but I'm glad to hear it is good. I have it on my "own" shelf here on Goodreads so it must be somewhere in my house. It is really sad that I sometimes can't remember which books I already own but have not read yet until I check my Goodreads shelf. Most of the time it is on my Kindle and I forgot I ordered it. :)

I will be reading Caressed By Ice by Nalini Singh for the shifters shelf.

LOL, Amanda! Goodreads has so many wonderful uses, including being our "book brain" now and again. :)

Enjoy Caressed by Ice, that was one of my favorites in the series.

Thanks Lethal, that would be fun! If I get it from booksfree in time, I'm in! :)

Okay, I've decided I'm going to read "Waking the Witch" since Booksfree isn't here yet :(

US >> Overseas mail system is a blessing and a frustration, yah?! I'll be interested to hear what you think of WtW.

Absolutely to both! ;-) I have a good circulation of booksfree books, but what I have now 1) Isn't part of the Bingo shelf, and 2) one is Gracie's that she isn't allowed to read because she is grounded. I know... grounded from reading?? But she is just like me.... she will let it consume her which is good but in this case, she needs homework done which isn't being done, which means not good grades and unhappy momma >:(

Finished The Accidental Werewolf 11/9/10 My Review

Aw, poor Gracie and momma.

K, finished "Waking the Witch".

I give it three stars. I LOVE Kelley Armstrong and this series in general and while I really like Savannah's characters, this one is not one of my favorites from the series. On that note here is my review:

November 12, 2010 - I enjoyed "Waking the Witch" as I do all of the "Women of the Otherworld" series books. I was excited to read a story that was devoted to Savannah, a character from many books back who was just a child when I first started to read about her. However, it was a bit difficult for me to connect with the characters this time. It could be my own fault because I kept starting and stopping the book. The plot was interesting and unpredictable and this one ended with a cliff hanger, so it will be interesting to see what this brings.

Good review, Ang. I felt the same. But, I am looking forward to the continuation of the story.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I've decided to change my Shifters read from Unraveled to Night Myst. I've tried for days to get into this book & it's just not working. I guess distance doesn't make the heart grow fonder, in this case. =(

ETA: Night Myst is currently on page 16 of the Shifters shelf.

It happens. I had a rough time with book one in that series. Interesting ideas, but the story was all over the place. Guess two is no better, huh?

Hope you like your second choice. :)

Thanks, Steph!

I agree. Intertwined was a hot mess but it worked for me. Not so with Unraveled.

Finished Damien by Jacquelyn Frank on 11/08/10 and I must say that it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Roughly halfway through I noticed that I was getting bored with the book. I give it ★★

I liked it too, just seemed like there were so many stories that could've just had their own book. LOL! Sorry Unraveled didn't work out.

:( Don't cha hate that?! Bummer!

I'm really hoping that the next book is better, but my hopes aren't that high. :(

:( I've only read book one in that series, but liked it. Sad to hear they're not all as good.

I saw that some other teams were keeping track of books read for each space & I thought it'd be nice if we had one too. I hope you all don't mind. =)

Nice! not exactly qualified to comment as on another team, but do love seeing the books all nicely laid out like that :D

Oh lovely! ;) Thank you for taking the tine to do this. It's so nice being able to see the books we are reading!

Thanks Judith & Angi! =) And it's no problem, Angi. My insomnia last night takes full credit for my idea to do this, LOL.

LOL! Insomnia (though I never suffer from insomnia...just a desire not to waste perfectly good time SLEEPING!) is a wonderful thing! All those extra hours you can use to get the "little stuff" done...

With Goodreads and good reads (hardy har har), I don't mind not being able to fall right to sleep either. :)

groan... But I must agree!

Sleeping, what's that?

That's what my hubby's doin' while I'm reading. LOL!

Mine too!! LOL.

:D

SAME! :)

I finished Caressed by Ice by Nalini Singh today. I am enjoying this series even more with each book and I think this is my favorite book in the series so far. I really liked learning more about the complexities within the Psy-Changeling world. The evolution of Brenna and Judd's relationship was also compelling to watch. I went back and forth on whether to give this one 4 or 5 stars. Can't wait to see what the next book holds!

4★

Great idea, Lethal! I also enjoy seeing what everyone is reading.

That's one of my favorites, too, Amanda. Glad you liked it! :)

CONGRATULATIONS, Bingo Bookworms!

Question: Do you think I should repost & edit the book stats every time we start a new shelf or just keep editing my intial post? I don't mind do either; I just want to know what would work best for the team.

Hmm, I don't think it really matters - whatever you would like to do! :) I just like the idea in general :-D

Since some of us are prepping for Thanksgiving meals, gatherings and overall post-holiday exhaustion. Another early announcement!

OUR NEXT SHELF IS ..... supernatural romance
DIRECT LINK: 'supernatural-romance'

Happy Reading & Happy (early) Thanksgiving, Everyone!!

Yeah! I'll be reading my recently arrived "Friday Night Bites" by Chloe Neill.

Enjoy! :)

Whatever is easier for you is fine with me too. =)
