Erica wrote: "Are the Kitty Books any good?"I really like the series. Kitty really changes, the person she is in the first book is so different from who she is in the last book. I like that we get to see her change, grow stronger and buck the system.

I'm going to check that out.""Box Office Poison" is the sequel to "This Case Is Gonna Kill Me" - I really enjoy the series - to me, it's similar to the Edie Spence series in that the main heroines aren't your typical urban fantasy heroines. Linnet's a lawyer and Edie's a nurse - neither possesses any mastery of the martial arts or magical skills but they find a way to save the day with the abilities and skills they do possess.
I've read the first several chapters of "Something From The Nightside" - it's very intriguing so far - lots of hints about the main character's past and parentage. The 80's song "One Night In Bangkok" became stuck in my head when they entered the Nightside: "One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble..." quickly followed by the Doors' "People Are Strange".

I just finished
which was chosen for me in a challenge in another group. I had avoided it when it was one of our BOM because it was labeled YA & that's not my thing. Well that was my bad. I LOVED this book. I must apologize to the YA gods for unfairly dismissing their book. (In my defense it wasn't really a YA type book. The girl was 17 but that was all that was ya-ish) It's basically like a zombie apocalypse type book but instead of zombies it was angels who destroyed the world and humans. The characters were really interesting and the world building was good. The minute I finished it I was looking for the next book in the series. (which sadly doesn't come out until Nov).
Finished
. Started
and
it has aliens. Yes. Me. Reading a book with aliens. Everybody goo watch the news and the skies (in case of a meteor collision) because the world must be near the end.
Delighting In Your Company by Blair McDowell – Book Review5 out of 5 stars
Past suffering and future bliss?
Amalie Ansett is a busy working professional who part owns an advertising agency in Los Angeles. California. She has just suffered a painful break-up of her marriage and while cleaning her family home, which is now on the market, she discovers an unopened letter to her mother from a previously unknown cousin, Josephina Ansett. Josephina lives on St. Clements, a small island in the Caribbean. The letter invites Amalie and her mother, who is now deceased, to a visit on the island. Sorely in need of a break Amalie decides to go. Imagine her surprise when, while touring on St. Clements she learns of another Amalie Ansett, who lived in the early 1800s, and who looks remarkably like her twenty-first century descendent. Life takes on an even stranger turn when Amalie is visited by the ghost of Jonathan Evans, the 1810 lover of the Amalie of the past. Jonathan died in strange, unexplained circumstances and asks for Amalie’s help to solve the mystery.
Blair McDowell’s Delighting In your Company is an exciting, action packed novel of the paranormal romance/erotica genre. Much more than this, though, the book gives a glimpse of life in the early 1800s, especially for women and slaves. Most of all this is a novel about Amalie’s need to come to terms with her very present and very ‘real’ life problems.

which I really enjoyed, ended up rating it four stars!!also finished
which was also quiet good, now im reading
but I might put it down for a bit and try another books first.... im just not into it at the moment
Just finished reading the last Sookie Stackhouse book and now reading Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs.
Darcy wrote: "Let us know what you think of them Erica."I will let you know what i think when I read it I'll read it soon i promise.
I finished
and am now reading
because I scored the hardback version of this the next one, and 2 other hardbacks for $15 when I was at the beach this past week.
Just finished
which took me forever cuz it was on audio & I hated the narrator BUT I really liked the story & am going to finish the series (in print). Also just finished
These also always seem to take me a long time to read because the world building & storylines are so complex. Still love the series. Still completely & totally smitten w/Rule.My whole reading & listening world comes to a stand still at midnight when
downloads to my Kindle. My most anticipated book of the year. I'm 12 year old at a Justin Bieber concert excited about this book. I will do nothing...no cleaning, no parenting, nothing until it is done. (ok well maybe some parenting lol)After that probably back to the Lupi world or maybe the Ghostwalkers & continuing on audio w/

Just finished Fifth Grave Past the Light and about to start Omens. I'm sick so I'm binge reading these instead of the book I need to finish for my podcast. :/ Shh. Don't tell.
Sandra wrote: "Hope you feel better soon Karena ;D"Thanks Sandra. Just got home from traveling so I suspect I picked up a bug in one of those spic and span airports...*rolls eyes* mostly trying to keep away from my oldest so he can start school next week. Tough!
kind of read
, I mainly just skimmed it until the end, it was just a bit to YA for me.now reading
which im liking ALOT more, its really interesting. so far i'v had trouble putting it down!!
almost finished reading The Time WeaverThank goodness I am almost done with this series then not sure I have about 30 books to get caught up before a lot of new books come out in the fall
Finished
. I can't decide what I want to read so I'm alternating between
(loving it),
(scurf infestations are very scary),
(I'm lukewarm to it so far but it has potential),
(promising start), and
(one of my best friends loves this series, so I thought I should give it a try).
I read
because of a friend too. Actually I listened to it which I recommend. The narrator is fantastic and I liked the book but I honestly don't think I would have finished it if I read it.
I'm currently listening to
and I'm really enjoying it. It is one of our AOM's series (under her pen name Mira Grant). It's very original & creative. It's 30 years after a zombie outbreak. The world has gone on & people are back to a new normal. The story follows a 3 person blogging team who are asked to follow a politician on his run for a presidential nomination. There are the same issues we see now but they're issues for different reasons. Why have the death penalty when they are just going to rise again? Should they be killed 2x or their zombie self be used in government research?. Animal rights are now about people even being able to have a dog or a horse because any animal over 40lbs can become a zombie. Should all animals just be killed period? There's an ACLU type group who fights for zombies' rights. The Republican party states zombie's are a curse from God due to sin (which I found really amusing). The book is not preachy or political or anything. These things are just all part of the world building. There's also some interesting discussion about blogging as journalism. I have no idea where the author is going with this story, I'm only about 30% in but so far, really, really cool book.
Sandra wrote: "Amberd, I stopped after the third one. Enough was enough."Well I have almost made it through the final one, and they saved the best for last. But will never read this series again booorrrinng!
