R9: Team #8 ~ Don't H8te the Winners

[~Melissa~]

At Ezi - ask question in discussion thread. Did you find untouchable on the demons list? I found Deep kiss of winter on pg 7 and then asked my question.

funny thing. I checked out the e-book AND the audio for this one too. Good to know.

[Mary X]

I will probably use The King for the Free Space book. I need to read it before it expires and I have other vampire books.

Melissa,
Untouchable is on Deep kiss of winter as an alternate cover. So they are the exact same book shelves. But on audible, it's sold individually.

I hope I get an answer soon because I am packing to leave tomorrow and need to start my book in the next fifteen minutes as I pack and clean the house

[Nichole]

I think my Free Space book is going to be .

I Listened to every book but as soon as I got to book 10 , no audiobook to be found. Then I was told a few chains have an abridged version but it left out so many details that it's worthless. Audible doesn't pick the series back up until Book 16.

[Ezi]

If Sandra doesn't rule in my favor, I will read by Elisabeth Naughton

[Nichole]

I've never listened to an audio for this series. The library only has the ebook and I'm not paying for it, lol. I have a love/hate relationship with this series.

I haven't met the loose woman though I am in the minority--I like both Richard and JC. I dislike Anita a little bit

Melissa,
Untouchable is..."

I realized this when I saw that Lisa Kay listened to it by itself. That's why I asked the question. I was hoping I could just read that one. I don't want to read the other book since it's a series I haven't started yet.

[Nichole]

It's funny because it wasn't the sex that started making me hate it. I don't really hate it, but it's close sometimes. Although, it does get pretty ridiculous with how much of the story it starts taking over. Without going into a rant, I have to agree that it was Anita that initially lost favor with me. I still hold out hope though! This was the series that started my love for UF.

The funny thing is that LK asked how long the books were, and I think I answered her question on it. But that was a month or two ago.

We are doing a series read of IAD here on SOS, I am doing a book a month...so this is my book for May. I will read it this month regardless.

Anyway ladies, I have to pack as I leave out of town tomorrow.

Umm, we have a week to read this, right?

I know - that is where I saw it. That's why I thought it might work here.


Yes a week to read. Need to be done by next weekend. Going out of town for fun or work?

Work training. I just put the kids to bed. I will stay up and do laundry to help hubby. I will pick out their clothes for him (LOL).
I will try to stay up late cleaning so I can just fall asleep on the plan ride there.

[~Melissa~]

Hubby was always good picking out clothes for son but when it came to daughter - not so much. I always took care of that. He would be standing staring into her closet w a blank glazed look - lol.

I meant it as it doesn't matter which edition of a book you actually read/listen to, but the one you list must meet the criteria ie 200+ pgs, and be on the shelf or have the right cover etc. Audible editions are fine as long as they meet the criteria.

If you list an anthology, you must read the whole book. That has been the rule since Rnd 1.

[~Melissa~]

So Sandra, if I get the audio book that is just the Kresley Cole book then I'm fine. Just making sure.

[Nichole]

So since untouchable is listed as another edition of Deep Kiss of Winter and is linked to those shelves, does it count?

[~Melissa~]

Nichole wrote: "So since untouchable is listed as another edition of Deep Kiss of Winter and is linked to those shelves, does it count?"

I'm not sure. I think not, because the actual audio version is not on the demons shelf - it shows the book/anthology version. I'm waiting to see what Sandra says.

[Nichole]

Hee hee, I'm going to watch Pride & Prejudice until I fall asleep. Have a nice Trip Ezi. Goodnight :)

Nichole, you must be one of my long lost sisters. I love P&P. ARe you watching the version with Keira Knightley? That's my favorite!

I think Sandra is saying no...in a roundabout way. Bruce Lee calls it "The Art of Fighting without Fighting". LMAO!

Agron, Crixus & Gannicus call my name, and I must answer. 2 episodes of Spartacus will soothe my boo-boos.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Actually, the audio shouldn't be combined with the book version (librarian hat on now - so I've fixed that) so to use the audio version it needs to be on the demons shelf. And 3 people have done that. So go ahead and read it but use the audio book link in your lists and review.

you made us work for that one. I was actually about to petition President Obama for an executive order. LMAO!

Thank you Sandra. I do feel victorious

[Nichole]

Sandra, you're a peach! Lol, this isn't even my book! Nosy bugger ;)

Yes, I'm watching the new one. I started with the BBC one and said eff that. Now really, goodnight everyone :)

Awesome - made my night. * Happy dance* Thanks Sandra!

[~Melissa~]

As always thanks for the eye candy Ezi. Stop packing the pretty undies lady LOL

[Mary X]

Wow you guys were chatty last night. Am I the only one on EST time?

[Nichole]

Yep. Of course, Belinda is in Australia.

I don't think I ever *officially* posted my book

Week 1: Demons

[Ezi]

Week 1: Demons

Book: Entwined by Elisabeth Naughton
Read: May 18
Rating & Review: 3.5 stars. I kind of like this one but there is still something that doesn't work for me.
I am used to brotherhoods/warriors/alpha males who are protective of their females, who want to feed them, take care of them etc.
All the males treat the women so callously and that always gives me a pause.
Zander and Callia were alluded in the last book as being true mates, so in this book, we got to find out what drove these lovers apart for the last 10 years.
Again, it seems like everyone is a pawn in both the King's game and in Atlanta's game. I am really coming to despise this King who seems to ask everyone to sacrifice in a way he hasn't.

I also feel bad for Queen-elect Isadora, who has lost another fiancée to another previously unknown half sister. That poor chick has crappy luck.

I want to read the next book because it's Isadora's but I can't say that I am enjoying the males. In fact, I am kind of team Atlanta right now.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

LOL I agree with you Ezi. The King is a douchebag. Isadora is much better off with the right dude, so I didn't really feel sorry for her.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

And Ezi, congrats on the first review for Round 9!!!

[~Melissa~]

WTG Ezi - you're quick - even away on business,lol

[Ezi]

Sandra wrote: "And Ezi, congrats on the first review for Round 9!!!"

Thanks! I'm already reading Isadora and Dim's book, pretty interesting about Dim's mother. I wasn't planning on reading this book 3 until next month but I'm curious about Orpheus, Isadora...and I'm waiting for the King to have another daughter show up LOL. Seriously I'm waiting for the ginaica (women) to revolt led by Isadora.

Re: Finishing my Book.
Stayed up cleaning, cooking and picking out clothes for the family. It will help hubby not go crazy. But I was so sleepy that I slept through my flight boarding so I had wait 2 hours for the next one. But I'm in Vegas and I forgot how flashy this place is.

[Ezi]

Btw: I may use as free space

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

You might as well Ezi especially as you're already reading it :)

[Mary X]

I haven't even started my book yet. I went a little crazy with the library ebook holds and now of course I'm over loaded with ebooks about to expire. They have lines too so I can't just renew them.

Don't feel bad - I'm not able to start mine for a bit either. I have to finish books for other challenges and then I will get to this. Hopefully by Wed or Thursday. Not sure as we will have out of town guests arriving soon. My in-laws are having a big party for their 50th wedding anniversary this coming weekend. They renewed their vows a few weeks ago just with the immediate family. Lots of stuff going on all week long.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Wow Melissa, 50 yrs is fantastic, congrats to the in-laws!

No need to stress about books in the first week, as long as you keep your team informed, and you do actually read the book as soon as you can.

[~Melissa~]

Thanks! Yeah - 50 yrs is just wow :D
I know how anal I am - I'm sure I'll be done with my book before Sunday,lol

[Ezi]

Hey Melissa, congratulate your inlaws and ask them their secret.
50% into Tempted...I wish I had downloaded book 4! Darn it.

[Nichole]

Wow, 50 years! That's amazing. I only have 37 more years to go :)

I should finish my Demon book tomorrowish.

[Mary X]

I am going to have to find another demon book. I started reading After Dead last night thinking it was going to be an extended epilogue. But no it's just an alphabetical listing of what happened to a lot of the characters. Many of whom I have no memory off because they were such minor characters in maybe 1 book. Many of the pages just have 1 or 2 sentences. I am just skimming to find the characters I remember.

I think I saw an audiobook I have on the demon shelf but I'll check later. Have to get ready for work now.

[Mary X]

OK picked a new demons book and started it this morning:

[Nichole]

Dark Desires After Dusk by Kresley Cole
Shelf: Demons
Finished: 5/20/14
Rating: ★★★★★

Review:

After 900 years, Cadeon Woede finally has the chance to redeem himself. He vowed to give up his Fated female to make things right. She is human and they are forbidden so it was never going to happen anyways, right?

Man, I love this series! I think each book gets better. They have it all.

Sexy Alpha Male: ✔
Lots of sexy times: ✔
An adventurous quest/chase: ✔
Hilarious moments: ✔
Paranormal creatures of all kinds: ✔
Heartbreaking obstacles: ✔
Happily Ever After: ✔

I really liked both characters this time. Holly was a nerd with OCD issues. I loved that about her. We all have our quirks (I make equations out of numbers, like on a digital clock :D) so I found hers endearing. Cadeon was protective, sweet, funny and sexy. Yuummy!

My favorite part was when she got drunk and he woke her up with a booming "Good Morning Sunshine" and scared the hell out of her. It was perfectly delivered by our dear Robert Petkoff. Let me repeat, I loved this and I'm looking forward to the next one!

“Regin slapped her knees. “Oh, my gods, look at him running like his life depended on catching us.” She slid open the door. “Is this straight outta Platoon, or what? Willem!” she cried, holding out one hand. “Run, Willem!” Then she choked on her laughter.”

I'll be looking forward to your review. I've had my eye on that for a while but it always gets shoved back like so many others.

I'm starting for the Free Space. Found on the BEST OF: Urban Fantasy Series list, #12.
