The Lost Challenges discussion

Spreadsheet is updated

Let me know if I missed anything

Lizz you only checked my orange cover and none of the others I listed.

Ok thanks

Ok Dusty fixed it

Changing my book for the week to .

OK, so I'm announcing and finishing my book all in the same post. :)

I read for my vampire book and here are my thoughts.

Overall, I liked the story. It was developed too fast for me though. The main character, Rio, is only a year out of his betrayal by Eva. Although I don't feel this new relationship is impossible, it fell together too fast for a man who suffers from mental instability and who doesn't trust women at the present. I did like Dylan as she was a truly 'normal' girl without any overly developed self-hate issues. (A pet-peeve of mine.)

A bit more relationship development and quite a bit more progress with the overall storyline of the Breed would have earned a third star. As is, it's only two. (OK, 2 1/2. C= )

In the checklist department, this is:

Vampire
Paranormal Romance
Blue Cover (I vote blue instead of yellow. Ya think?)
Urban Fantasy (I think I already have this one but...)
Ghost (The female lead in this book sees ghosts and one of the previous characters makes repeat ghost visits.)



Just found out that the most recent of this series was published today. Time to get moving.

Ok thank u lizz

Welcome Dusty and again update the spreadsheet later

Will this be counted as orange? If so, I'm thinking of changing my original book choice to this:



I'm almost done with my blog tour book so I;ll start one of the two books tomorrow for sure!

That's fine Amy

Here is what I have so far.

I finished 5 stars. It really had been too long since I had read anything in the series. I am not a fan of the cliffy the left there though. At least they softened the blow a bit, could have been worse.

It had Vampires, Werewolves, Ghosts, and is Urban Fantasy.

I finished my blog tour book yesterday night. Since I had a dentist appointment earlier today, I didn't get a chance to read one of the two books yet, but I will get on it tonight for sure!

Sorry....been busy at work and not feeling well....But I started and will finish up by J.R. Ward. today....

Vampire
Blue cover
Ghost (Jane)
Couple on cover
Paranormal Romance

Katya, you'll have to let me know what you thought of that one. I had mixed feelings about that one. I've just started re-listening to the series though.

This week the item is angels

YAY! I love it when challenges line up! I will be reading . I won't start reading until Wednesday though since it fits in to several of my February challenges.

Okay...finished by J.R. Ward.

Vampire
Blue cover
Ghost (Jane)
Couple on cover
Paranormal Romance

Not sure if I liked this or not. I can't make up my mind. There was some good stuff in here but also some stuff I sure did not understand what the motivation was....I reserve judgment until the next book. which comes out soon and is about my favorite BDB since the beginning...except Wrath of course.

This week's book is by Nalini Singh. (this is a Jan/Feb Buddy read for me. Two birds with one stone since I did not start it yet.

Angel
Vampire
Lone woman on cover
Orange cover
Paranormal Romance?

I will update the spreadsheet later

I have no idea what I'm going to read....I read so many angel books in 2011. Suggestions??

Ok...I looked around. I'll go with , unless I change my mind.

I'm thinking that I will be reading



for this week's 'angels' book. I need it for another challenge. I'm with Dawn...I second loving when challenges line up. :)

Kristen from your to be read list I would recommend Unearthly it was a sweet quick YA read. Or I read Raziel earlier this month it was pretty good too.

I could not read Lover Mine so I am glad that I could at least finish this and I did enjoy reading it....but it was very confusing. Some wonderful and some weird and funny. Other than Wrath...Tohr was my favorite from day one with this series so the book coming up is intriguing.

I've started yesterday which is anthology, vampires, and I'm not sure what else. Like if this will have any other paranormal beings in it. I only read the first story so far so yeah. At least I'm making some progress now.

Ok I started it's the only one I have with angels in it.

Lover Mine was probably my least favorite.

(view spoiler)[ I am looking forward to Tohr too. I am worried about it being too soon. Tohr was crazy about Wellsie. I find it hard that someone else could come in and make him feel as strong as emotions as that so soon after she is gone. But I am holding on to the faith that she wouldn't write it if it weren't good enough. (hide spoiler)]

Dusty I loved that book!

I agree with you...From the beginning I loved Tohr...(view spoiler)[and had rather they killed Cormia off like Wellsie and had Phury hook up with someone with some spunk! Ya know, someone who rocked the house at the mansion and kept his head spinning...someone who could bring him to life....instead of Yawn...boring old Cormia. (hide spoiler)] I think she is setting up Layla too....we shall see-the fun of reading.

It is quiet on the Dark Side...

Dawn (Kat N Hat) wrote: "It is quiet on the Dark Side..."

Sorry, other things have been on my mind lately that is getting me worried, but I should finish one of the books tonight!

Hope it all works out well for you. I haven't finished my book for the week either. I made it to chapter two. I keep getting distracted.

Dawn (Kat N Hat) wrote: "Hope it all works out well for you. I haven't finished my book for the week either. I made it to chapter two. I keep getting distracted."

I hope so too.

Sorry I've been sick almost done with my book. Hope to be done by tomarrow.

I finished Vampire Mine. I give it 3.5 stars. Not my fav in the series, and some of it was not convincing. I do love the world created in the series and I enjoyed seeing other characters again.

It has Angels, Couple on the cover, Shifters, it is a Paranormal Romance and I'd call it a black cover.

Going to update the spreadsheet tomorrow

Posted it early this week is pink

I am reading as we speak and should be done by tomorrow!

Is this a pink cover or a red cover?

I finished last last night. I loved it.

Angels
Demon
Green cover or is it Blue not sure
Alone male

I've been really busy this past week, so I'm a bit behind on my angel book. I switched to for angels.

I think I'm going to hunt for this pink book:

I'd call it pink.

I will be reading . I started it last month and got to page 20 before I got distracted by other books. I will start over on it and finish it this week.

Dusty, I'd call it green. You could probably push it for either. Green books are always harder for me to find though so I would go with green.

We are going to have to step it up if we want to win!
