SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

Thanks, Steph and Sandra!! :D :D

Woo Hoo Divas!!

Oh my! Now what will we do til Saturday's announcement... I guess I'll start with all the neglected housework I've ignored... I'd rather be reading!

My sisters surgery went well! Her anesthesia didnt works, and she was awake the while time. Shes in a lot of pain, but she took it like a champ. :)

& lis im more than ready for that announcement too!

Good news that the surgery is behind and the healing can begin!

That's great to hear!

Can't wait either

Great news, Jennifer!

Fantastic Jennifer, but WTF awake throughout? Crazy.

They only wanted to put her under halfway, because they wanted her to be awake and able to talk. she said they waited too long to do it so itwore off at the beginning. When they realized what was.happening, they got the pain meds ready for after.

Bummer! Don't they know prevention is better than cure!!

At least she's getting better :)

Hi Jennifer, how's your sister doing today?

She's doing great! She feels so much better now that she doesn't have to worry about how the surgery is going to go.

Thanks for asking :)

That's wonderful! Hopefully each day will get a little better and having the worry & stress of waiting over can only help her improve and heal.

*hop* *jump* *hop* *jump*. It's shelf day! It's shelf day! I'm kind of in tweener book limbo, afraid to start something that I might not want to put down or might be called....

*jumping along* Tomorrow's shelf day for me - when I wake up, I can see the shelf. Yay!! I'm pretty sure the book I just finished will be part of the shelf called tomorrow :P

Just peeking at our card and nothing is lining up for us yet... Hope today's shelf makes us a little more of a threat since we are kicking it in with fast reading... NOT that I'm a little competitive at all.

I went through the team bingo stats a few days (okay, last sunday) and after 4 shelves, 4 teams have 3-in-a-row lined up. Nobody will get a bingo tomorrow but chances of more 3s and 4s are more. I'm totally not competitive at all.

I'm sure everyone's reading pace will pick up as soon as the game gets closer. Come on Mr Randomizer let's make it interesting and give us a good one...

Food in the oven so the family won't starve... Check!
Corona opened with a couple of limes... Check!
Yep, the mountainous pile of TBR books is waiting... Check!
Just need a book... _ _ _ _ _

shelf! shelf! Shelf! Shelf! Shelf! SHelf! SHelf! SHElf! SHElf! SHElf! SHELf! SHELf! SHELF! SHELF!

Chiming in! Shelf shelf shelf

Happy Reading, Everyone! :)"

Drat, I got up early but missed the announcement by 12 mins :(

Thanks for the link, Lis!

Good Morning Vi... Too many choices from my TBR pile, yikes... 17 at the first pass and only a few pages... I have a true book collecting sickness, thank goodness I have a big house to hide them in. I will post the short list when I narrow it down.

I've shortlisted: or or .

Has anyone read the Cassie Palmer and the Hollows series? Which is better?

I love the Hollows series. But the first book sucks with the world building etc. it took me til book two to threeish to be completely sucked in. I just finished relistening to 7-9 and working on this weeks new release A Perfect Blood? I love the characters and Jenks is one of the best!

I have the Cassie book on my short list, but have not been able to like that one yet...

I went through the first page and had three new series that I've been wanting to try and around 4-5 others from existing ones. All in the first page.

Unfortunately, demons doesn't do any 3-in-a-row for us but it does give us 2 other 2-in-a-row.

Im going to read succubus on top

Short listing:

Haven't read the hollows but just finished the cassie palmer series and I enjoyed them.

Go with Grave Peril. It's good, Lis. That's the only book I've read from your shortlist. Hexed is also April BOM. I'll definitely read then :P

I heard the first book in Cassie Palmer series is also not that good as there's infodump in it. Also realized after your post that is also on the shelf. So, it's basically continue one series or start a new one. Decisions Decisions.

I want to get into Dresden, but it's not grabbing me yet... Leaning towards Hour of Dust, but the cover of Raziel is just nice to look at, so I'm doing a quick browse of chapter 1, and pretty good so far.

I'll be going with since it's already on my challenge-tbr list. I'll be able to cross it off a couple of lists. :)

Shelf 4 - Demons (Called on 25/26 Feb): 0/5


Jennifer - Succubus on Top by Richelle Mead
Lis - The Hour of Dust and Ashes by Kelly Gay
Dawn - Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Vi -
Heather - The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter

Weird it didn't take my last post. The first Cassie Palmer does have an info dump it was still a good read however not my favorite one of the series.

I'm thinking it's an audiobook so will take me a few days to get through it. That and this shelf isn't critical so a few days won't hurt. Oh and I can use audiobooks right?

Yep, take your time Dawn. No bingo this week or the next. No 4-in-a-row yet. I've been wanting to read the book but I'm waiting until the next book is released. Don't fancy waiting a year in between books. I still don't know what book I'm going to read and definitely won't start today.

Yeah that is the hard part about series...waiting for the next one and the next one. They don't write fast enough for me. :) course I'm all over the place with series starting new ones and since it may be months since I picked up the next one in series memory recall isn't always the greatest. Thankfully there is goodreads!

Couldn't help getting this one it was a good deal....and my next in death book wasn't available from the library.

Vi my browse of The Hour of Dust and Ashes turned into 7chapters before I went to bed, so I will finish it for my demon shelf read.

Lis, ok thanks! I'll change it.

Thx Vi , it sucked me in and is moving pretty fast. I'm almost done.

Finished: The Hour of Dust and Ashes by Kelly Gay
Shelf: Demons
Read: 2/26/12
Rating: ★★★★

Review: Charlie and crew are picking up and dealing with the aftermath of where they left off at the end of the last climactic ending and Atlanta is still dark. She is fighting for her sister Brym trying to save her from the ash and the spirits that have taken up residence in all the ash survivors. This leads to a trip to the other hell dimension and more beasties to battle. We discover more about her partner Hank and left with a bit of a cliff hanger. This was a fast paced read that kept me engaged to the end and I can't believe I have to wait until the end of July to see what happens next.

Great job, Lis!

Woot!! Way To Go, Lis! Great Job!!

Hey Vi! I read an indie book that is just 150 pages long or so! and it is awesome!

Finished- Succubus on Top by Richelle Mead
Date- February 27, 2012
Shelf- Demons
Rating- Five stars
Review- In this book, Georgina is trying to have a relationship with mortal and favorite author Seth without going all succubus on him. There was lots of entertainment with her escapades. In this book, her long time friend and fellow incubus comes to visit and ask for her help. Also, there is a new drug and immortal is thrown her way. All in all,
witheverything going onthere was never a dull moment.
