Count Off Challenge
ooh, I like Gaelen Foley's Knights series, I am currently waiting for book #5 from PBS.and look, you have Savage Heart also, I haven't read that one yet, 4 star sounds good.
Gaelen Foley's Knight miscellany are amazing!!! I've read all of them about three times, lol... As for Savage Heart, it was a huge change from most Diana Palmer books: no big angsty moment, but I loved the heroine, who was quite a spitfire,... I also loved the affection between Raven and Tess:-) I gave it 4* because it was so sweet:-)
You must read incredibly fast Melanie to read five entire books in one day. I have to spend all day to get one finished, if that.

I can read a Harlequin in one evening but they're around 200 pages. If I'm not doing anything else, I've managed to get each Twilight book (480-690 pages) in two days. But I was up reading til 3am last night to finish the last one. lol

I got it at midnight and finished at 4-5am... read it straight through as soon as I got it:-) But it's apparently a book that you either love or hate... what was it like for you?
Actually I just started Breaking Dawn. I finished Eclipse last night and I loved the lil war. Better than the long pity party in New Moon.
I loved it also, I was surprised how fast I was able to read them all too.

Need a consensus here. I took double page counts for Eclipse because Jasper talked about his past as a major in the civil war. Jasper, of course, is still in Breaking Dawn, however his past is not mentioned this time. Although, he has served in the military. When I'm finished... do I take regular page count, or double? What do y'all think?
does it influence his decisions/behavior though the book? if so, yes...if not, no (if that makes sense)
Most of you have read Breaking Dawn. It most definetly mattered when they battled the newborns in Eclipse. Just guessing here that it'll make a difference as I see the Volturi having to intercede based on the product of Bella's condition. I'll have to wait til the book ends to know for sure. Thanks (Still have half the book to go. lol)
You could argue a case for it because of the Jenkins thing. If you haven't gotten to that part yet, you will soon.

Bwahahahaha. You didn't like the blood fountain and alien baby eating its way out of her stomach? C'mon, that's classic! And just think, we'll get to see it on the big screen in a couple months!
Christine wrote: "Bwahahahaha. You didn't like the blood fountain and alien baby eating its way out of her stomach? C'mon, that's classic! And just think, we'll get to see it on the big screen in a couple months!"Lol... does anyone know where they're going to stop the first part the BD movie?
Christine wrote: "Bwahahahaha. You didn't like the blood fountain and alien baby eating its way out of her stomach? C'mon, that's classic! And just think, we'll get to see it on the big screen in a couple months!"I've never seen any of the movies. And seeing as the characters/actors are so young, I'm not sure I'd want to. Honestly, not sure why everyone thinks this is the best book in the series. I'm compelled to find out how it ends, but I'm not really enjoying it.

I think they're going to stop it when she turns. So it'll be pre-vamp and after-vamp. But that's just a rumor I've heard.
I'll go with Christine's judgement on this and say Jasper's involvement with Jenkins makes a difference. Even doubling the pages for this book, I'm not a threat to anyone in this challenge. lol I never am at the slow rate I read compared to you all.Salute to the Veteran's Challenge
