Perfect! Thanks!

[Kay]

Yes, join us Angie. I think you will like it!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I'm up for a reread of Angelfall too.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

It's been on my Kindle forever. I don't know why I haven't read it yet.

[Crystal]

If I have time I'll hop in on the Angelfall reread! I'm planning on rereading Catching Fire before the movie next month as well, and I'll be strapping on my big girl panties and cracking into Outlander...it will be an exciting month.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Sounds like the perfect kind of buddy read - how fun!!

[Tellulah]

Reading A little long in parts but overall a lot of fun!

I've been meaning to try out something else by Dahl. The one book I read of hers was hilarious.

Finished and it was a pretty good UF for a male-driven, grittier style. It's definitely not a romancey book at all but I liked it. My only complaint is that there were too many different types of supernatural things going on (although I appreciate gargoyles and dragons as much as the next person, haha).

Starting

[Regina]

I can't wait to see what you think of Bold Tricks! I am afraid to start it, but the last one did live up to my expectations. :)

So I woke up covered in pee from my 5 year old at 2:30 am and I couldn't go back to sleep. So I read and it was good fun - and sweet. I wish it had more sex though, but that is not Harper's style.

I started and I am loving it. Each one in this series gets better.

[Lisa]

An awful way to wakeup, Regina :( Did the reading help you fall back to sleep?

Hey, I'd like to join in that Angelfall read! I've already read it twice but still need a refresher before the next is released.

I'm reading Linda Howard's - a buddy read and it's pretty good.

[Kay]

Haha...Regina...getting pee'd on sounds familiar.

How does the week of November 10th work for everyone to start Angelfall?

[Lori]

*raising hand* I have Angelfall and haven't read it, either. Can I join in the November buddy read?

Regina, that series looks good, and you've given me a lot of great recs, so... I picked up and . Since this series is Harlequin, and I've only been turned down by them at Netgalley EVERY TIME, I'll read those 2 first. I if I like them (which I'm sure I will), I'll purchase or borrow when it comes out.

I have TOO MANY TBR BOOKS! I have a stack of hard copies (still) and a stack at Netgalley I have to read and review.

I find myself with Reading ADD these days... too many books, I guess. I keep picking one up, reading a bit, and then putting it down. Partly, I think, because the books are disappointing me.

For example, - it took me ONE MONTH to get through this book, and sorry to say, I was sorely disappointed, ticked, and resentful when I finally finished it yesterday.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Oh that sucks Regina... At least you got some reading in :)

Dahl, keep meaning to read another book by her but I haven't found a moment to.

[Crystal]

Looks like we might have to start a 'Not-quite-romance' group read lol

[Kay]

I snuck in reading today at work so I finished . It was okay.

I'm off to search for something else to read. Sucks that most of the books I've been reading have been around 3ish stars.

It works for me.

[Kay]

Hehe...Angie. I'm still thinking about that one. Just because it's a trilogy and I hate waiting for books that haven't been released yet.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

The 10th is fine.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

Kay wrote: "Hehe...Angie. I'm still thinking about that one. Just because it's a trilogy and I hate waiting for books that haven't been released yet."

Oh, yeah. And the last one isn't coming out until November 21st. I certainly understand that. LOL

[Kay]

Okay, great! we'll start Angelfall on Nov 10th. I also created a thread under buddy reads so we'll have somewhere to discuss it.

[Regina]

So I read yesterday and I loved it. It has a touch of Willing Victim in terms of the sex -- but more from the heroine wanting to go there. It is so good. I would say that this series started off as just a fun to read romance with really good sex scenes. But with each installment it got strong, and this is the strongest. There were parts in 1 and 2 that I skimmed, but Maguire got stronger at writing the "in between" story advancement scenes. It can be read as a stand alone. I am sorry it is over!

I am starting -- I loved the first in this series and I really enjoyed the first in this series

[Regina]

Scratch that - I just realized Bold Tricks is out next week, so I will read that one first. Woohoo -- so glad to be back with this crew.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I am 25% into . This is my first read from this author. The plot in this book is so interesting to me.

[Regina]

I bet you would love her first series, it is fun, sexy and strong -- it is PNR, so the couples do change every book (I remember you saying you would prefer to not have that):

[bookcover:Pleasure ..."

I don't mind if it's a new couple every book, I just don't like it when it's the same heroine with a new hero every book. I tend to get attached. LOL

I will definitely take a look at these. Thanks, Regina!

Do we know if Bold Tricks is the last book? I sort of got that impression.

[Regina]

This completes it!

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Thanks, that's what I thought :)

Starting Bold Tricks now... It's snowing in Squaw Valley (we're on vacation) so I hope to get a lot of reading done today. Since we can't go hiking or play outside.

[Lisa]

Is there enough to snow-shoe, Leea? It had snowed here at home while we were in Calif. but hadn't stuck. Glad I missed it! But it had stuck on the higher elevations. While driving over the pass coming home, yep, snow. Early winter? Eek!

I had just finished Howard's last night and can't wait to read another Howard book but will pace myself. Plus, I have other books queued up, so... I've started and liking the author's style of writing so far. It starts with Alice falling during a spin class, suffering a concussion and memory loss. So far, she's just figuring out that she's missing the last 10 years of her life, thinking she's still 29 yrs old. And pregnant.

Can't wait for Bold Tricks :D

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

We'll have to decide which Howard book to read in November soon. :)

[Lisa]

Yeah. Post nominations or suggestions on that thread?

[Regina]

is so good. It is a slow book, but not slow in a bad way just a really well developed story. Great blend of urban fantasy, fantasy, shifters, vamps and others. I love it. It is going to be hard to wait until spring 2014 for the next one. For those that have read Anne Bishop's other series, this is nothing like it.

[Tellulah]

I loved the Black Jewels trilogy, so even though this sounds nothing like it, still excited to give it a shot. Thanks for the heads up on it, Regina!

I agree! I really liked her Demonica series. I actually prefer that over Bound by Night.

[Kay]

Written in Red sounds really good!

I finished a short book last night... which was really fun and sexy.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

Written in Red does sound good. That's going to have to be a library read for me, though, because I can't bring myself to pay $10.00 for an author I've never read before.

[book..."

I will get to the Bound by Night series. I just wanted to try the author out to see if I liked her. So far, so good. I've never read this sort of plot line before. I love it when an author comes up with a fresh concept!

[Regina]

I will say that the majority of the negative reviews have the same two issues with Written in Red -- although the majority of the reviews are 4-5 stars. The negative reviews seems to be bothered that the supes are true monsters and eat people (nothing romantic about them at all) and the story is slow building b/c it focuses on the heroine's daily activities and her job -- which I love that stuff. So if those are triggers for anyone, you won't like it.

[Ian]

Written in Red looks interesting. The synopsis reminds me a little of No Peace for the Damned by Megan Powell.

[Ian]

Regina wrote: "and the story is slow building b/c it focuses on the heroine's daily activities and her job"

hmmm...are we talking infodump or info-dense? I hate infodumps but I can live with a story that's dense so long as it's interesting.

[Regina]

No info dumps. And there majority of reviewers do love it. I was just reading the negative ones today. :).

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I don't mind the day to day. Some authors can keep it simple but still make it interesting. Ellen O'Connell is one who can do that, and I think Tracey Garvis-Graves did it with Covet.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Lisa, the snow didn't stick. But the boys enjoyed seeing it coming down. It's getting colder here and we may get more snow tonight.

Read the first chapter of and wow - non-stop action already. I really cannot wait to see how this trilogy ends, i'm kind of glad it's ending because there is so much action I couldn't take another book. Ha!

Written in Red- another book I want to read. My list is really growing this week.

Oh, excited to which LH book the group picks next to read. Off to check...

Me neither. I can think of books that do it well -- the earlier Sookie books, Harris's other series (Lily Bard), Little House on the Prairie, Ellen O'Connell is a great example. I still need to read Covet!!

I'm reading an ARC

Question for Kindle owners...I'm planning on buying the new paperwhite soon. Should I consider purchasing the 2 year warranty with the accidental protection?

[Regina]

Kay wrote: "Question for Kindle owners...I'm planning on buying the new paperwhite soon. Should I consider purchasing the 2 year warranty with the accidental protection?"

I think it depends on the cost of the protection v. replacement. Back when I bought my first kindle, it was over $300 -- so I bought the warranty. But now (if you aren't buying one of the expensive tablets) the price is low enough to justify not buying the 2 year warranty. Also keep in mind Amazon offers a one year warranty automatically and they are pretty great about replacement. I have had problems (for example stepping on my kindle) in the 2nd year -- and I got another free one. :) But again, that is when the pricing was a lot different.

[Regina]

I am LOVING -- Stacia, Leea, Angie and Wendy what do you think?
