Leea wrote: "Kay, Wendy and I are going to read Come Alive Thursday or Friday if you want to join us?"I'll join if I get Heart of Obsidian done before then. If not, I can always join in later in the discussion thread.
Kay, feel better honey - that just stinks!! Glad you'll be joining us :)
Thanks Kay! Hope you'll be feeling better soon.
No worries Kay! Take your time. I can start it whenever you are ready. I have plenty of books to keep me company in the meantime.Hope you feel better!

I bookmarked quite a bit, too. But I might just give it another go tomorrow (re-read) and check my bookmarks, now that I know where we end up.

Hope it goes by quick, Kay!I finished
and it was my favorite of the series so far. There were quite a few new twists.Lori, we don't have a topic for it, but I'll go make one, since I'd like to discuss some stuff and we can put spoilers there.
I forgot that D.G. was reading the series too. I didn't mean to leave her out.
Eeek! I can't wait to read that one!
LOL, no worries, Stacia. You didn't leave me out! I'm crazy about the audios so I had to wait until today to download it. I already have it and may start it next...I'll definitely stop by the thread and comment.
I may join in that thread also. Have been an IDC fan for the past year. LOVE the audio, especially snugglepumpkin's voice ;)
Love, love, love this book! I'm partial to the 1st book, since it hooked me. But
is definitely my next fav book in the series. I responded to your thoughts in that thread and put a few of my own. Wondering what you think about a couple of the events in the book.D.G., Kay, Wendy, Lisa - it's a GREAT book! Lots happens and, IMO, lots of surprises and new twists. Snugglepumpkin is pretty amazing in this book; he can always get me!
I need to come up with a review and post it - here, Booklikes, Amazon, and Netgalley. The ARC and this published version don't seem all that different to me. But I have to look at the quotes I marked and compare them.
Reading the Forever Fae series and in book 2
. I don't know why I'm reading them, because the books aren't all that great... but, somehow I am.Have
on deck along with
.
BTW, Booklikes is OK... I do like the blog feature. I can easily tag my own reviews to get a URL that I can remember. But, it's just not all that intuitive a GUI. I find myself frustrated a lot. I've had to send them 2 emails to get some answers on how to do things. To be fair, they answered quickly.
I finished
which I really liked, though at times it got pretty confusing, especially the many characters. Might look for more by this author.Going to start
.
look what's out today... 
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/...Who want's to read it with me? Maybe next week sometime?
@ Courtney - I've been wanting to try
and that series so checked out the prices. Because of the covers, I'd want to get it in ebook but the price is more than the paper version, especially if I can find it used. I hate that! Perhaps the mail-order library has it.
Lisa - Haha, I was JUST thinking that when I brought it out from my shelf. I was like...."Man, this cover..." And that's crazy how the ebook is more than the hard copy.
Courtney wrote: "Lisa - Haha, I was JUST thinking that when I brought it out from my shelf. I was like...."Man, this cover..."

Those covers are awful. I hear it's a good series though.
It's one of those books that's been on my TBR shelf for forever... I do hear it's a great series. Lisa, that's what ereaders are perfect for... hiding ones smut.

Is it out? Is it out?
Oops, Leea. I just saw the first part of your post. I'm in. I can start on Monday or anytime next week!
The American covers of the Psy-Changeling series are awful! The British ones are so much better...
Oh my. Yes, that one is SO much better! Are British versions available in the U.S. you think? Last time I bought a book overseas, my bank cancelled my cc and issued a new one due to "suspicious activity" and I realized it was my fault. Geez.

Yep, you're absolutely right, Leea. I may have to fork out the extra pesos for an eversion :)
Lisa wrote: "Oh my. Yes, that one is SO much better! "When you see that cover, you get a more accurate impression of the series: Dark with dangerous dudes!
The other one looks like he's in a strip club in a haze of smoke.
...and there's probably glitter at that club.
D.G. wrote: "When you see that cover, you get a more accurate impression of the series: Dark with dangerous dudes! The other one looks like he's in a strip club..."
Coupled with that title and it's misleading of its content...maybe.
How about this German version? I think it's German.
I found the British copy avail in a U.S. bookstore but it's pricey. I wonder if the wording is a little different, using English expressions?
My frustration with Booklikes is there's no seachengine (that I can find) to locate a book on your own shelf to review or change it to curently reading.

I love the Psy-Changeling series. It was confusing at first with all the scientific terms but you get used to it.
Marcella wrote: "I love the Psy-Changeling series. It was confusing at first with all the scientific terms but you get used to it. "LOL, the same happened to me, Marcella. I remember not being very clear on what a Cardinal was.
All the techno talk was confusing but after reading the context around the terms I was able to figure it out.I am still not sure I know what a Cardinal is D.G. Ha ha!
OMG!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! From what I understand, Cardinals are off the scale in the Psychic gradient. So normal Psy are usually graded in a scale from 1-10 on their particular psychic power (Telekinesis, Telepathy, etc.) but Cardinals are higher than that, and their power is so high as to be unmeasurable.
ETA: For those of you who haven't read the series, this is not a spoiler more of a definition. :)
Oh I get it now. Good explanation D.G. You should do a book of Psy-Changelings for Dummys. Lol!
LOL, I'm not so sure! Even with the descriptions, I can't imagine how the Cardinal eyes look like.
The way I picture it is the eyes of the demons on the show Supernatural. All black.
I don't watch that show, LOL! But maybe I should google it.
D.G. wrote: "I don't watch that show, LOL! But maybe I should google it."It is a great show. Doesn't hurt that there is major eye candy either. Lol!
53 new messages since the last time I checked! I don't check in all day and you are all so busy!
I agree about Booklikes Wendy, it has limited function.Kay -- I hope you feel better!!
Leea, Kay and Angie I will join you to read
next week.I briefly started
but I have been working every night until 1am, and likely will tonight and tomorrow (with a brief break for softball and baseball games) -- so I am only into the first chapter. I probably won't be able to read until Thursday night or Friday.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone! I was so sick yesterday and could barely get out of bed. It must have been a 24 hour thing b/c I feel much better today.Marcella, I'm still ready to start Heart of Obsidian tomorrow.
I will join you gals on the Into the Light, Ellen O'Connell book. Looking forward to it :)

Awesome! I am looking forward to it. Where are we going to discuss it?
Glad you are feeling better. :-)

Speaking of book covers, that's a very nice one. Love the dress! Is that part of a series? It looks good.
Thanks, Regina :)Glad you're feeling better Kay!
Finished
and eh. I liked the movie better. Started
I finally finished Under the Dome... I wrote and lame review but i'm so tired of reading this book and I just didn't like the ending. Now i'm moving on to our Group Read,
I cannot wait to chat with you guys about it. Sorry it's taken me so long to get to it.
I finished
, which had some funny moments but needed some editing. It was like 100 pages too long.Now I'm solely reading
.

Sounds good. I just came down with a case of food poisoning or stomach flu. Not feeling too hot right now. So, I hope I'll be up for it on Wednesday.
