lol, well, as a result (partially, at any rate) of this challenge, I won a free movie ticket. :o) I'm also participating in my local library's "Summer Reading Program." That was the first prize for the week. :o) Now, what to go and see? Probably the Nia Vardalos movie set in Greece. What can I say? I LOVE Greece. Maybe I'll see some place that I recognize. I lived there for 3 years. And loved all 3 years.

7. Regenesis by C.J. Cherryh *** 6/2/09
8. My Wicked Enemy by Carolyn Jewel *** 6/14/09
9. Street Magic by Caitlin Kittridge

I've now finished My Wicked Enemy, which was a $1.99 e-book and subbed it for the Orson Scott Card book, because the Carolyn Jewel book is actually PNR.

It's a very different and very good universe. I liked it a lot. Just bought the second in the series at full price. I'm also just over halfway through the Kittridge book (which I've subbed for the N. Novik book, because I'm already reading it). It's also an interesting universe. Not your standard vampire story.

Yes, they not only become "doubly endowed" but they also have another little...ummm....errr....thingy, that comes out for cleanup and easing discomfort of the female.

I was quite...taken aback by that. ROFL

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish LOL I know, I know. Nicholas explains the "thingy" as helping ease the female's discomfort so she can make it through the long, arduous night of mating.

BJ Rose (bjrose) | 443 comments Congratulations to those who have already completed this challenge.
I completed another one, but I'm less than halfway and the month is over half gone, so I have to get serious.

I noticed that several of us have Witch Heart listed in this challenge, and am interested to see what others think of this one - I admit I was somewhat disappointed.

Catherine,

Aren't all of Ward's BDB books on the 1st and 2nd pages of GR's paranormal romance shelf? That would more or less knock out a big chunk of the required 9 books....

7 to be exact. I think they are all there. Heck, I'd count 'em if I were you, Catherine.
