I agree with a lot of what you said. I gave it 2 stars too.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I actually got bored half way through Lover Avenged and haven't read any further.

[Alisa]

@Sandra...I actually liked Rehv's book. Book 10 is where it started sliding down hill for me.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

It just seemed to go on and on and not getting anywhere, for me.

That seems to what happens. I used to be able to read these books in one day, now, not so much, usually a couple of days. The breaks are needed.

[Alisa]

How do you guys feel about the fact that she's starting a new BDB spin off series and saying she'll make those like BDB used to be?

I'll read it, but probably won't buy it. Her books have been down listed to library ones for me. I sort of liked Paradise, really liked Creag, which gives me one step up from you.

I do think it says something about her as a writer that she has to start a new series to get it the old BDB feel. Why not just fix the series that you have been writing? That doesn't really make sense to me. But then again neither does her rice krispies quip. I think it's a cop out for her, a reason to excuse her bad mistakes she made in the book. It makes you wonder what her editor had to say.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

It'll be just another series that I ignore.

I agree Darcy it smacks of cop out and greed. Trying to get back all the readers that have fallen away.

It's so much harder to get pissed off people back then keep them happy in the first place. Plus you know you did wrong if you have come up with a statement on release day. I think she had "writer's remorse".

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Yep, totally agree. I won't be back.

[Alisa]

I totally agree. I refuse to buy the new series when the current one is such a rambling mess. Fix what you have now. She even says it's an attempt to get back to the way BDB used to be. I'm pretty sure Ward and I are breaking up. I may change my mind by the time the next one comes out but I don't think so. Too much other stuff out there to read.

[Lauren]

I gave up on BDB at book #4 and the only reason I read the fourth book was that it fit into 4 different challenges at one time. I could never stand the idiotic dialogue, ridiculous villains and the constant brand dropping. There are way better vampire brotherhood romances out there.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

BDB was more exciting to me for the POV from the villains. I love a good villain POV.

Re: BDB I gave up on book 7 I thought oh I will give it one more chance and about 50 pages in I decided I don't care.

Um like Darcy said why not make the books more like what they want to be and start a new series to try something new??

Honestly I think it is a shame what happened to her. She used to be really interesting then came the Wardies ...cellies..whatever anyways then came the glasses and I feel like she kind of lost her mind a little bit.

Exactly. She started believing she could do no wrong. Well she was just plain stupid, believing the hype. And her editor must of been on that same bandwagon.

It seems like the same sort of thing that happened with LKH. She always talks about her muse in the 3rd person. So weird.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Such a shame too

[Lauren]

Started listening to - I'm only up to chapter 2 but I'm amazed that Rachel managed to (view spoiler)[get the upper hand with Al. I think its going to come back to bite her because he is now one PO'd demon! (hide spoiler)]

There are some interesting twists and just general awesome plot on the way. I loved book 4 the most so far. I'm on book 7 but I'm afraid to start it. I've heard it's everyone's least favorite by far.

Thanks Robyn. I actually feel that not much has happened in book #3 so far. There has been very little actual story with most of it being character development. I'm more of a plot driven reader so this has bugged me a bit, but I like Rachel and company (except for Ivy) so I'm enjoying it overall.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Finished which was decent but the way it ended was meh

Also finished which was good ended on a bit of a cliff hanger and I cannot figure out who the person receiving the memo is. I must say though the situation with Rose and Doc rather sucked but likewise I am not a fan of March's choices as it come to Jax right now either


Next up is
and

[Arielle Rae]

Finished ... I try not to think about it too much, since it hurts, but I think I love it like all her other books(or is that just a sense of loyalty to Ward? *shrug*)
Can't wait for !!

Rereading :)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I've given up on Ward, I don't think I'd even bother to read them from the library now. I got bored half way through Lover Avenged and I've got a couple I haven't read yet, I think up to Lover at Last, but I could be wrong.

All I can think is that she started believing all the hype and her editor did as well.

[Lauren]

I'm almost done listening to and all I have to say is if this book ends on a cliffhanger, I'm calling it quits!

[LastBreath]

Just finished and have now started .


All this time I thought I've put off reading books by Ilona Andrews, now I can't seem to put them down!

I"m almost halfway done with SO far i really like it.

This one is also on my TBR list. I've been trying to get around to it, once I've finished off my current series I think I'll give this one a go.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

When you get to it LastBreath, you'll love it :)

It is just so original.

Lauren wrote: "I'm almost done listening to and all I have to say is if this book ends on a cliffhanger, I'm calling it quits!"

Huh. I've never thought any of the Hollows books ended on cliffhangars. I always thought the author ended the books with Rachel sort of tying up the books events in a neat little paragraph at the end. It's been a long time since I've read the early books so I may be misremembering.

I've tried to read Written in Red but just can't get into it. I didn't care for her Black Jewels series either so it may just be that the author's writing style doesn't gel with me.

I've recently finished , , , and . Now I'm halfway through .

It didn't end on a cliffhanger but she did leave it till the very last minutes to tie it all up.

I've been thinking of picking up the Ministry of Peculiar Occurences series, is it a good Steampunk/Sci-Fi read?

I enjoy it. It has a lot of the usual steampunk gadgets and it's good, light-hearted fun IMO.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Finally finished hile it was not a bad book there was something missing for me.

I hope the next one is better

Also finished it was light and cute

Dawn wrote: "Finally finished hile it was not a bad book there was something missing for me."

Verity? Haha, but seriously, I think this is why I've put off reading these next two books with Alex until book 5 comes out and Verity returns. That way I can move seamlessly into her POV again without the wait.

Book Review of Backward Compatible: A Geek Love Story by Sarah Daltry and Pete Clark
Reviewed by Raymond Mathiesen
4 out of 5 stars



Is there someone for everyone? Even me?

Time is passing and the Y Generation have now become young adults. During this social period computers and the Internet have become household items, at least in the Upper and Middle classes. Online gaming has now become a subculture complete with language, social activities and dress. The word 'geek' has become more a description of an alternate subculture than a derogatory term. Daltry and Clarke take us on a wacky trip into the world of computer geeks, as they follow the hectic lives of Katie Garretty and George Lindell. Will this young woman and man come together in a sweet romance, or will they be doomed to remain single forever? Does being a computer geek mean you can never have self-respect, or can these young people grow in self-confidence? Will the pair ever battle their way to the end of Fatal Destiny, the game which dominates their young lives? Backward Compatible is a romantic comedy that will entertain those who enjoy reading New Adult or Young Adult fiction.

I think I'm the same Veronica. I'll wait to read them too.

Reading and whilst the POVs are a bit all over the place, the twists and turns just keep coming.
