Well, I didn't say we shouldn't be crushing on him. :)

Oh, yeah, Harry's hot! But I'll let you guys have him and I'll take Thomas. I know he's bad, but I'll take my chances.

[Anne]

Ooooh! Thomas! Yes, he's definitely not someone I'd kick out of bed for eating crackers!

Just started A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry, #1) today, and I'm hooked!

[Lynda]

I finished Vampire Kisses #3 & #4. I like the series for the character of Raven. Otherwise I would only consider them fair. Alexander is just too perfect. I actually prefer Trevor.

Anyway, I am taking a break from urban fantasy and am going to read A Sportscaster's Guide to Watching Football, by Mark Oristano.

Sorry I haven't been around for a couple weeks, I have been involved in an on-line trivia tourney.

[The Flooze]

On line trivia tournament? Sounds fun!

[Laura]

I just finished the Anita Blake series. I just started the Mercedes Thompson Series. I'm reading Moon Called today.

So far so good, but I'm just starting.

[Paula]

I finished listening to A Touch of Dead and am now reading Merle's Door Lessons from a Freethinking Dog and The Gargoyle.

I agree on the Vampire Kisses books. At least Trevor seems to have some hormones! This series is just WAY to pure for me! One so called YA series that are definitely KIDS books!

Paula--how far are you into Merle's Door. I read it-was not at all what I expected.

I LOVE that series! Enjoy!!

I'm still reading Dreamfever and love it so far! Not quite halfway done yet but will likely finish by tomorrow...no work!

It was. It also is frustrating. I used to be able to answer 90 % of the questions on Jeopardy. Now I am down to 50%. It also obsesses me when I take part in these things.

[Lynda]

Has anyone read the Magna version of Vampire Kisses?
Are they any better?

[I ♥ Bookie Nookie (bookienookiereviews.blogspot.com)]

I am in agreement with the Vampire Kisses series--way to young for me and I DO like several YA series.

What is "Manga" btw? I could google it, but it is more fun just to ask...

[[deleted user]]

They are like Japanese comic books or rather graphic novels as they are now called, the art is like anime shows/ cartoons. They are very good and some of the plots are really good.

About four years ago I got into them, big cost of money for me because you can finish them in a few hours, I stopped reading them about two and half years ago I still like them though.

[I ♥ Bookie Nookie (bookienookiereviews.blogspot.com)]

thanks levi. i thought that's what they might be like.

[Anne]

I finished A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry, #1) last night. Wow. It was so different from what I was expecting! I liked it, though.

[The Flooze]

Lynda, I haven't watched jeopardy in ages. Maybe I'll avoid it so I can keep thinking of myself as smart!

[Anne]

I'm starting my quest to finish the Anita Blake series today! Dum-dum-dum-dum! The Killing Dance is up next.

[Anne]

Loved the Killing Dance! I'm taking a break from Anita and reading A Living Nightmare. Has anyone else read the Cirque Du Freak books?

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

How are you liking A Living Nightmare so far, Anne? I enjoyed it, but I think I'll like his Demonata series more.

[Valorie]

Has anyone read The Drowning City by Amanda Downum? I'm curious because it sounds like it might be a good read and I would like to get some feedback before I buy it. Let me know if anyone has any comments!
Thanks!

I finished [image error] last night. I enjoyed it. Pretty spooky for a kids book! Is the Demonata series for kids, too?

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Hi Anne. I don't think I'd recommend a kid younger than fifteen read the Demonata books. They are pretty intense, IMHO.

[Anne]

Good to know. Thanks, Danielle!

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Your welcome, Anne.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

I just started Moonshine by Rob Thurman. It's good stuff.

[MsBeaglely]

I decided to take a break from the UF/Paranomal Romance stuff so I picked up the latest John Saul from the library. I feel like I'm reading a V.C. Andrews book, it's so depressing. Everyone in the small town (and I do mean everyone) has the main character except the crazy book & the art teacher that everyone thinks is a witch. Oh well, just got notice from the library that my request for Frostbitten by Kelly Armstrong is ready for pick-up. Hopefully that will be better & it's an Elena story (even better).

[Melodie]

Reading . It's pretty good!

[[deleted user]]

I'm reading Hush, Hush also! LIke it a bunch.

[Laura Lulu]

I read it last week and really liked it. Enjoy!

[[deleted user]]

Yes, I like Nora more than Bella from Twilight, but maybe because I relate to the goody-goody chracter.(Maybe a smidgit more than Bella)

The follow up to You Suck is Bite Me

[Emma]

I am curretnly reading the Thirteenth Tale By Diane Seterfield, and also Book 3 Of Sookie Stackhouse.

After reading a few reviews I am going to check out the Dresden Files, seems a few people enjoy the series.

[Julia]

I just finished the non-fiction Where Men Win Glory by Jon Krakauer that I enjoyed a lot; and I don't care much/ or know much about football. (It's about Pat Tillman who was a professional football player and enlisted in the Army Rangers, was killed by men in his own platoon in Afghanistan, and the coverup and lies about his death years later.)

Now I'm reading On the Edge by Ilona Andrews.

Good to hear about this book. I've been considering buying it for DH for Christmas.

[Lynda]

I took a break from A Sportscaster's Guide to Watching Football and read Enchanted Inc. by Shanna Swendson. It was great. One of the best books I've read in ages. I think I will read I will read Kindred in Death by JD Robb next.

[Anne]

I going to try and start Burnt Offerings (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #7) today. I know a lot of you guys have read the Anita Blake series. At any point does Jean-Claude stop dressing like a gay pirate? I want to like him, but I can't get past his clothes! In what world does a sexy man wear lacy shirts?!

[Theresa]

I quit reading that series after The Harlequin and I'm sad to say that Jean-Claude was still wearing his lace. What a turn off. :(

Cherra, I'm about 50 pages into Merle's Door Lessons from a Freethinking Dog, it's not what I expected either. I'm glad I'm reading it though. A break from what I am currently reading. It's going to take me a while to finish it. It's more of a literary type book and I have to pay more attention to what is said. I like the pictures and I like dogs!

In one where he is so sure of his manliness that he knows he can wear something like that and tell the whole world to f*** off!! In my book, JC can get away with it!

[Valorie]

I just finished and LOVED IT! I highly recommend it! I'm starting on

Jean-Claude probably remembers when you weren't a gentleman unless your shirt dripped lace. All the swashbuckling heroes dressed like that. It goes with swords, hats with long feathers and swirling capes. That was the 17th-18th century idea of macho. I think it's a gorgeous look myself. Oddly enough, I'm not a Jean-Claude fan. I love Asher and Nathaniel.

[Emma]

So far really enjoying Storm Front By Jim Butcher.

I love every book in that series! Harry is the best!

At least I'm not the only one, Theresa. Sorry, Melodie. Different strokes for different folks, and all that. After reading A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry, #1), I think Hamilton just has a thing for guys look and dress a little out of the ordinary. Oh well, I'm still enjoying her books!

[Jessica]

I think Hamilton's taste in men runs to the "Is he naked?" requirement. LOL Honestly, Jean-Claude has never done it for me either. Maybe that's a factor in why I stopped reading. The sex became so focal, that I felt like the plot was lacking. Maybe its more that I don't care about sex with JC LOL And I hate what she's done to Richard *sigh*

[MsBeaglely]

I used to love the Anita Blake series, but I too don't care what's become of the series with all the sex. I end up reading an Anita book about once a year or so. It's about all I can take. Last one I read was Cerulan Sins. I just wish Anita would pick one boyfriend/lover. I prefer Jean-Claude, but at this point I just want the orgies to end.

I love his Dresden Files series also!! I've read them all and they seem to just keep getting better as you go!

That's good, because I didn't really care for the first one. If they get better I will give them another try.

Right now I am thinking of reading .

[Melissa]

Yes, Carrie, read Magic Bites. Lots of world building in this first book, but keep going. It will pay off.
