Oh, I was going to read that! I think I got it as a Kobo freebie a while back.

Well, this weekend has been a bust for reading. Though the perk of being by myself is that I have no one to interrupt my reading time...but it also means all the housework and chores don't get done if I don't do them.

Still need to get Dark Awakening review done...I might be finished with Second Grave on the Left tomorrow.

Review:
This is a light hearted fun series. I read it when I'm feeling really blue and need a pick me up. I like that the heroines are always girly but ballsy and fight for what they treasure. The guys are always cute and the humor gets me chuckling every time. Ruadan is one of my favorites cuz he's supposed to be this serious vampire ancestor and he acts and looks like a young guy.

[AH]

Oh, you're good. I haven't read much this week. *hangs head in shame* Caught up on a few reviews.

[Midu]

it'll pass. i have weeks where i read a book a day and then a week where i drag my feet and read a single book! and the funny thing is, the book isn't to blame, its just my mood!

[Midu]

i review once a week (fridays) on a blog I share with some of my friends, so i HAVE to get one in every week!

O24 : Favorite Series - Dark Awakening - ★★★★★ - 11 Nov 12
Tynan "Ty" MacGillivray is vampire of the Cait Sith bloodline -- he can shape shift into a cat. The Cait Sith bloodline is considered tainted and are seen as less than nothing by the majority of the other dynasties. Ty and his people have been slaves to the Ptolemy for centuries. After an attack by an unknown entity, his queen sends him on a mission to find a seer to help them discover who was behind the massacre. After months of searching, Ty comes across Lily Quinn. Right off, he's attracted to her, not knowing she's what he's been looking for. As soon as he realizes that, he knows she's off-limits to him.

I really liked Ty, though I wanted to shake him at one point. The Cait Sith have been downtrodden for so long, Ty is afraid to do anything that would cause the rest of his people to suffer should he anger the queen. He's determined to bring Lily to the Ptolemy court, despite the danger, in the hopes that he can appease the queen and still keep Lily safe.

I really loved this book and wish I'd read it sooner. I like the dynasty setup and look forward to seeing more of the others.

[AH]

Hope to have my shifters book read by the end of the day.

[AH]

Finished my shifters book. I'll post a review some time tomorrow, if a winner hasn't been announced.

Happy shopping to all....

If you are an urban fantasy lover, The World of the Lupi series is a series to start reading. This series has it all - sorcerers, werewolves, magically talented people, and fantastic characters. It also has one of my favorite paranormal couples - Lily and Rule.

In this installment of the series, Lily and Rule are in the town of Halo, NC to obtain custody of Rule's son Toby. Things start going wonky in the town as a mother and her 2 children are found murdered with the scent of Death Magic on them. The father has confessed to the crime, only he has no memory of what he did. Lily begins her investigation, impeded by the small minded sheriff of the town. Meanwhile, Rule is getting a lot of daddy-time with Toby. I really enjoyed Rule's parenting style - parenting a young werewolf must be difficult, but when the father is the Rho(leader), there are complications. Rule must also deal with his mantle and the mate bond which also go a little wonky in this book.

This is a great addition to the series and I can't wait to read the next book.

AH, are you a fan of Harry Potter?

Midu wrote: "AH, are you a fan of Harry Potter?"

Yup. Read them. Watched the movies. My oldest was 10 when they first came out, so we read the series (fought for the books) as they came out.

[Midu]

then you'll enjoy these:

[AH]

Those are really nice.

[Midu]

and how cute is Sirius!

[AH]

They are very well drawn.

[Midu]

yep, and somebody just gave me the link to fan fic for James and the rest. You want?

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

AH wrote: "They are very well drawn."

I agree. :) Very nice!

Finished Second Grave on the Left. Stayed up til 1am to finish...not that it matters, I see. ;-)

[Midu]

hehehe i think i have the worst bingo luck,Christina!

Sometimes Mr. R is good and sometimes just meh.

It was nice playing with you all. See ya all next round!

[Midu]

you too, AH! :-)

Midu wrote: "hehehe i think i have the worst bingo luck,Christina!"

So are you saying you're a bad luck charm? ;-) Oh, and you're doing awesome on the Seasonal Reading Challenge. Do you think you'll complete all the tasks? I know I won't (never attempt to, either). I just need to do at least one more task to reach my personal goal of 300 points -- a 5 pointer will do it.

As for Bingo -- It was fun. I'm glad I could help out. I don't know if I'll be back for the next round -- depends on when it begins and whatever madness Steph and her minions lovely co-mods unleash on us for the new year. :D

[Midu]

totally! last time two team members left the team, if I remember correctly! I'm bad luck hehehe
I don't think I'll complete the SRC but I did better than last time!
Yep, I'll be having bingo withdrawal soon. Do join next time too, it'll be fun :-D

Sheesh! Two? :-| I think I'll be a stand-by player then. :)

SRC -- I'm doing better, too. Bingo usually throws my planning out the window, so I credit sitting out the previous game for my progress.

[Midu]

hmmm it'd be better if you don't plan which books you'll read beforehand, just like with Bingo. on the other hand, i find choosing books really fun! hehehe

It is fun! :D

I average about 13 tasks and 18 books per SRC. I find I do better if I plan. When I do, I get more higher point tasks done during the season.

[Midu]

true! i read books that i normally would shelve away to "read later" because of SRC!
