ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ (katyabookqueen) I know how it is Elise. Sometimes you just find an offer too good to refuse.

Went to a dozen garage sales today (a block sale plus a few others) and I didn't find a single book I wanted. My son got a few (Goosebump books at a quarter a piece) and the complete Indiana Jones YA books (3/$2) but surprisingly, I didn't find a single book.

Unapologetic_Bookaholic | 2002 comments I am going to start reading Heartsick before bed. Hopefully I won't give myself nightmares. I just want to read it quickly, because I have a lot of challenges coming up on deadlines in June. So I have dawdled enough today watching movies. Gonna try and get 100 pgs in before bed.

Married By Morning - Lisa Kleypas - started at 20% - 281 pages - 6/5/2010
Hot Spell - Anthology - 352 pages - 6/6/2010 - This one was only so-so...I read it primarily for the next book in the Breeds series...the rest I didn't really care for


message 2718: by Debbie (new)

Debbie  (db_debber) | 2757 comments Ok, Dee, do you think that the Breed series has to be read in order? Is it better that way or can the stories stand alone?


Unapologetic_Bookaholic | 2002 comments Debbie: I read the first Breeds book out of order [b/c I didn't have them all:]. When I was looking for Book Order on Lora Leigh's website there is mention that the books are written out of order so there fore are chronically out of sync. There are the Feline Breeds that are first. Perhaps you can read each breed type separately? I know when I read them I read them something like 2,3,1,4. The series, so far, has a common thread of the Breeds as a species but there's nothing I can recall that I'd say wait and read them all in order. I have even read the novellas as I get them. Unless your a series stickler =D


message 2720: by Dee (last edited Jun 06, 2010 03:59PM) (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments if you go to her website there is the order...the first 5 are from ellora's cave (first 3 are feline breeds); then a wolf and a coyote...then the one in the anthology was back to a lion breed...i've read Megan's Mark which was the first mainstream one (I think he was coyote...) and about to start Harmony's Way (Breeds, #8)...her website has been all updated and the recommended reading order is up there now

ETA - she does a good job of filling in the back story in all the books, but some of the characters from the books reappear...i.e. the first one is about Callan and Merinus and they have appeared in all but the anthology one that i've read and they were mentioned in that one...


Unapologetic_Bookaholic | 2002 comments Dee you should join our series buddy discussion. We are reading the BREEDS right now. We are on various books but we'd love to have more fans join us =D. Thanks for explaining the books better than I did, lol.

Debbie  (db_debber) | 2757 comments hey thanks both of you - I am kind of OCD about series books, I am not sure if I can do it, but I have a copy of Hot Spell (hmmmm) I am thinking that if it is not that big a deal I might go ahead and get a taste of it.

Unapologetic_Bookaholic | 2002 comments Imma go ahead and sit this challenge out. I saw some wishlist books at a UBS and picked them up. I am already halfway done with one.

The Dark-Hunters (Dark-Hunter Manga, #1) by Sherrilyn Kenyon Vol 1 and 2
Mysteria Lane by MaryJanice Davidson

I am usually better at looking and not buying but when I see a book I've been really wanting. Hard to pass it up!


ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ (katyabookqueen) BJ is close to winning Kenjii, so you won't have long to wait. :)
