[Darcy]

A lot of good ones this month. It seems like a lot of them come out early in the month.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

I feel like it is all in the beginning or the end
There are some new series starting as well that look promising

What new ones are you looking forward to?

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

The Spiritglass Charade which I know is the second book but I did not read the first one so it is new to me.



BTW I have no idea what Burn for Me is even about nor do I want to but I love Ilona Andrews so this one has me very excited!

[Darcy]

[boo..."

I know what you mean about the Andrews book.

I was excited to see a new book from Handeland, but when I read the blurb it sounded familiar. After checking it looks like she is re-releasing it, but it is #4 in the series.

[Veronica]

Hmmmm, not too much on there that's on my "must have" radar...which is a good thing because September was like gangbusters for me with new releases. Whew! Maybe I can make some headway on my already existing TBR pile.

[Angie]

Amazon is showing Dead But Not Forgotten by Charlaine Harris isn't due out until November 25th. Not that I'd give that woman anymore of my money.

I'm looking forward to Broken Soul by Faith Hunter, To Hell and Back by HP Mallory, and maybe Sudden Backtrack by Kim Harrison. It worries me a little that Harrison is releasing a short story after the supposed end of the Hollows series, she's exhibiting Harris like behavior. Either a series is done or it's not, make up your mind! I still have the last two of the Hollows books to read, so hopefully she didn't exhibit even more Harris like behavior with those two. I really do need to get to reading them, but I just got The Undead Pool, thankfully after the price dropped by almost half, so I may wait a while longer to see if the last one drops too.

[Leigh]

I see I will be purchasing quite a lot this month.

Doesn't seem like we say that every month. :)

Some months are worst than others.

[Darcy]

Leigh wrote: "Some months are worst than others."

Yeah, there are those Tuesdays that seem to be Super Release Tuesdays because so many books comes out. For me 10/7 is one of them. I think I have 13 on my must read list for that day alone.

Wow! Thirteen is a bit much, even for a one a day person like me! As clogged up as my kindle is, I can only imagine how long your TBR list is!!

It's days like this where I feel like I get behind in my reading and can't keep up. lol

My biggest problem is I find free or 99¢, or just a couple dollars even, books and I ended up with a couple thousand books on my kindle. Most I'll probably never read, but they seemed somewhat interesting when I get them. The ones that really kill me are the special packs with 3-15 books for 99¢! Ugh! As great as it is to get such good deals, it's clogging up my kindle something fierce! And now I've been getting books from netgalley, ARCs that again seem interesting when I requested them, but I'm not sure I want to read them once I get them!

[boo..."

I was a beta reader for Burn for Me and it is soooooo good. If you can get only one book in October, you'll kick yourself if you don't get Burn for Me. I loved it and I read it before it was dressed up. :) I'll be reading the later version in the next week. I keep wondering, can it get any better? I'm about to see.

Yeah, that can happen. I find I'm more choosy about what I put on my tbr, usually only books I know that I will read and that are out. I have a shelf labeled not released yet, so that doesn't bog things down and then a maybe one. So my tbr usually runs between 15-30. I had it down to 9 before today, but then when I moved over the new releases I'm sitting at 19.

[Angie]

I know I have several series I love that I need to catch up on, a couple books each. Then I have two or three new releases from the last couple months that I need to read, one I'm waiting for a friend so we can buddy read it. Then I have two or three netgalley ARCs to read. Then I have a couple of the multi packs that I'd like to read soon. I bought Wallbanger, to see if it's worth all the fuss that's been going on about it. Two or three new series that were cheap that I bought, including a few of (Rylee Adamson) from when they were on sale for $2 each. Then I found a couple series hanging around on my kindle when I was looking for something else, so I pulled them back on my kindle, since they were hanging out on the cloud.

I thought Wallbanger was funny.

[Angie]

I thought the second one looked kinda blah, but the third looked good too, I think it was. She has a few other books that looked pretty good too, but I decided to check out one before I bought a bunch of others.

I liked #2 as much as the first one, #3, good, just not as good as the first ones.

[Angie]

Hmm. I'll have to check it out soon then. I thought it was strange that she went from two books with the same couple to the next book within the series being a different couple. Usually it's either all one couple or each book has a different couple, not a mix of both.

[Darcy]

Angie wrote: "Hmm. I'll have to check it out soon then. I thought it was strange that she went from two books with the same couple to the next book within the series being a different couple. Usually it's either..."

I don't think she expected the first book to be so big.

This is very weird because here on GR there are several dates.
It also seems like it is on audio. Personally she killed this series it should have ended with book 7

Yep I did the same thing. This year I am getting better at actually reading them. Honestly a lot of it is garbage but I have found a few good ones.

[Tina]

The Charlaine Harris book was edited by her and is an anthology of stories, by fifteen writers chosen by her, about characters in Bon Temps. I will definitely pass on that for now and I am still glad I didn't get the "wrap up" one.

[Tina]

I can't find the H P Mallory one at the Nook store. I am assuming it is part of the Lily Harper series. I have the first two but haven't read them yet.

I've noticed that self published books are not popping up on B&N and Amazon until release day. I wonder if it's a self published one?

[Tina]

Lisarenee, I will check back on release day. I just found (and bought!) Hakan/Severin which was released Sept 29th. I looked all over B&N for months to put it on my wish list and it evidently did not show up until it was released.

Goodreads is showing the Smashwords edition, so I think she probably is self publishing. And it is definitely the Lily Harper series. It's not showing on Amazon yet either. And be glad you waited to read them. I absolutely love HP Mallory's books, but man she can leave you on a cliffhanger!! It's definitely different from the books she's written in the past, but they've turned out pretty good. I've decided to wait on the Peyton Clark series, I've had enough of her cliff hangers for a little while, between Lily Harper and Sinjin and Bry.

The Charlaine Harris book was originally released as an audible only book. She makes me want to scream, the way she flip flopped on her own canon in the last four or five books, says everything is done, but keeps putting out random books to see how much more money she can get out of her fans. I read a review of After Dead, the one that apparently has everyone listed in alphabetical order and has what their life turned out, and the person said how horrible it was. It had random people in it, like the kids of the insurance agent that Amelia worked for for a while. No one cares about that!! And this new one is nothing but fanfiction that just happens to be written by well known authors rather than unknown fans. But since Harris put it together, it's all hunky-dory. She angers me, in case you couldn't tell ;-)

[Lisarenee]

I read After Dead and thought it was a rip off. I thankfully got it from the library. There were some pages with only a sentence or two written on it. You shouldn't have to pay for that.

That's pretty much what I've heard from everyone that's read it. Maybe some day I'll go to the book store and just read the few pages I'd be interested in.

I skipped it and from this conversation I am glad I did

I read the entire 2nd half of the series from the library and I'm totally glad I didn't waste my money buying that drivel.

Really looking forward to and a few others that'll come out later for me on mmp like

[Angie]

Sandra, the Agent of Hel books look pretty good. Too bad they're so pricy. The first one is $7 and the second $11 for kindle. I'll have to keep my eye out for them to go on sale. Also, I really already have a couple million books already on my TBR list.

That's why I get them mmp, kindle is too dear. Got the 1st & 2nd ones for about $7 and 3rd isn't out yet for preordering. I don't mind spending $7 for pb, but not for kindle. I guess I'm old-fashioned. LOL.

And if my library had them I'd go that route as well.
