[Sara]

Finished . The antics of Stone the Toilet Whisperer were my favorite part of the book. I am now starting .

[Alisa]

I started today. I have a question about something he says. He's talking about other famous vampire slayers. Here's the quote:

"There are a few proclaimed vampire slayers & they range all kinds. Anita out in St. Louis, but she as a lot of stuff going on, not just vampire executions. Cat & Bones run their crew killing vampires and they do a fine job of it. I hear whispers about the Blue Woman now and again, but it's hard to pull fact from the fiction on that one. There some folks in Calif, in LA & a small town east of it, who do mostly vampire slaying, but I haven't met them yet. The black guy & old man combo who roam around doing nothing but vampires. From what I hear they have a personal stake in it, so to speak. Sam and Dean will tussle with a vampire, but usually they are chasing down demons."

So my question is? Who is the Blue Woman and who are the black guy & old man? I know who all the others are but not those two.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

No idea Alisa :(

Just started and its going really well.

I wasn't sure either when I read it. But I did love how he had a shout out to all those fictional characters.

[Lauren]

Finished - was expecting more from Cat and Bones's reunion.

Mow listening to

[Sara]

Alisa,

I'm not sure if it's correct but the first character to come to mind for the black man would be Blade. Didn't he have an old man helping him in the movies? I searched the internet and the Blue woman is Sonja Blue from Sunglasses After Dark by Nancy Collins.

[Sara]

I finished . Hail the Priestess of Unexpected Violence! I am starting .

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

finished . it was actually really good. I ended up rating it 4 stars.

now im thinking of starting , looks good.

I've never seen Blade so I'm not sure but someone else also came up w/the same Blue Woman reference. I swear things like that will totally distract me in books. Thx for helping me get back to reading & not googling like an idiot. LOL

[Alisa]

I'm reading three books right now. All three are good so far.


I also recently finished I want to read more in the series but it's ridiculously expensive (12.99 for an ebook that was written 3-4 years ago. I think not). So this will be on hold until I can find them at the library.

[Karena]

I actually finally started the Chicagoland Vampire series and I am just starting book 3 Twice Bitten. I am really enjoying it so far.

Regarding Chicagoland Vampires I am in total agreement
While I think it is an interesting series I do not think it is interesting enough for me to pay the kind of money they ask for.

How is Sandman Slim? That is another one that has been on my shelf for ages.

I actually just picked up Sandman Slim on one of those daily deal things (I swear 99 cents & 1.99 books are going see me to the poorhouse). I'm only about 25% in but I like it so far. The story is a unique plot line and the author's writing style is a little different.

[Sandi]

I started reading Silver by Rhiannon Held, a couple of days ago. I made the mistake of reading the sample and could not stop. I HAD to have the book right then and HAD to keep reading. I'm 64% of the way through and really loving it.Rhiannon Held

The blue lady is Sonja Blue and the other reference is Blade and Whistler from Marvel comics. James Tuck is a huge comic nerd,we discuss comics a lot.

[Mike]

Finished and . Just started .

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

I like the Charlie Davidson series, imo it is one of the underrated ones.

Question does anyone know how many books will be in the series?

I KNEW you would know the answer to that! Thank you.

[Sara]

Finished . The hillbilly/redneck angle was a little over the top but I laughed out loud several times. I am almost finished with and I am really enjoying it.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Finished has anyone read the second book?


Now reading

Okay, I'm jealous. I'm lucky to read one book at a time, and you're reading THREE? Arghhh!

[Alisa]

@Judith.....I normally only read one too but I forgot my book one day so I started one at work. Then my eyes started hurting so I had to take a paperback break & go to my kindle. See not impressive at all. Me just being a hot mess. lol

I really liked Thirteen Reasons Why. It isn't an easy book to read and it will stick with you. If you like audios try to go that route, it was fantastic that way and fit how the book was written.

mmmmm that's why I put think of reading it, lol. I really want to read it just not sure if I should read it right now.

i'v only listened to an audio once - for Magic Bites - I was a fan, maybe because I already had set ideas for the characters in my head and the audio was a bit different...?? who knows. but if I can get my hands on a audio for this book i'll deff give it a go!!

I don't typically read YA but 13 reasons sounds really good. Is is super teen-ish or does it reach out to a broader audience?

[Alisa]

I finished and liked it a lot. Looking forward to the next in the series. Continuing on with I'm about half way & enjoying it. I really like the concept of the story line.

[Darcy]

Alisa wrote: "I don't typically read YA but 13 reasons sounds really good. Is is super teen-ish or does it reach out to a broader audience?"

It isn't that teen-ish. Yes, there is a theme of how people treat others, but it is just as relevant at any age.

Thx-- I have some audio credits I need to use. I think I'll pick this up on audio.

Let me know what you think of it.

[Thethriftybooklady]

I am reading it is the first 3 books in one. I'm really excited that I'm finally getting to read them. I'm already more than halfway thru the first story and I just got it yesterday from the library. I'm loving it.

[Sara]

Finished and I am starting . I'm really enjoying the development of Shame & Terric's bond and the mystery of whether Daniel Beckstrom is a good guy or a bad guy.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Reading and really enjoying it ;)

[Brandy]

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

well I finished two books which took me a bit to get into. and not as..... good (isn't the word im looking for...) as I excepted, do u get me?? though hearing Hannah's story though clay was incredible.
and which was really good in a strange messed up way.
I ended up rating both books 3 stars.
if you read one I would recommend giving the other one a go.

someone told me that thirteen reasons why is best experienced through Audio, and though I haven't had that chance (yet) i would have to agree with them, just the way its written out I can just see how much more impact it would have on the... listener.

Alisa wrote: "Darcy wrote: "I don't typically read YA but 13 reasons sounds really good. Is is super teen-ish or does it reach out to a broader audience? "

ahhh its hard to explain, though I wouldn't call it childish. the writing is pretty incredible, and I don't mean in the way that it had no grammar's - I wouldn't know im a terrible speller and all that, lol. but just the way Hannah - the girl - explained things was... intense
though I would highly recommend you listen to it on Audio (which darcy recommended to me) - im personally not a big audio person but this book is written perfectly for audio. I believe it will have a lot more impact if you actually get to listen to the girl tell her story.

Hot mess or not, you had three books going at the same time:) Hooray!

[Sara]

I finished the rest of the Allie Beckstrom series. Loved it and I am eagerly waiting for Shame & Terric's book that comes out later this year. I'm starting .

Dedicating the month of June to my Requested Reviews, so right now I am reading ..will update on the books I'm reviewing and I get through them.

[Jacy]

So I've been trying to read for quite a while now. While i like the story, it's just really easy to put down and walk away from. Since I'm over halfway through and it's getting better I want to finish it, but I have feeling it's going to take me a long time. I've been supplementing my reading and am currently a few chapters from finishing and will be starting .

[Judith]

Uh-oh, I'm liking American Gods so far, but I'm still in the set-up part. I'm a slow reader, as is. Might be at this a while.

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

I attempted and failed to read I just cant seem to get into it.
now im reading how wicked is the cover? anyways so far its not to bad, not great but im not dying of boredom

[Judith]

I fizzled on Janet Evanovich, too. Her books became too much the same, for me.

[Mike]

Maybe give her new series a try. The short story was pretty good.

[Judith]

I tried the first book in her new paranormal series. Great characters, but same type of humor. Still pretty close to her usual style.

I liked the paranormal series also. I've read both of them that are out. Will continue to read it. It's a fun read.

its a shame cause I absolutely adored her series until just now. sigh. maybe in a few years time I can give it another go.

[Samantha]

Finished up it's a must read, now reading skimmed over reviews on it, and it's gotten some pretty high reviews.
