Awesome job! was it any good? I've had the paperback on pre-order since what seems like a century or so ago. Getting impatient here! lol.

The paperback is usually the better part of a year after the hardback/audio. Often we have later release dates in the UK too. Drives me up the wall with my favourite authors, but I hate reading hardbacks, and want my pretty paperback looking lovely on my shelves alongside the other Kings, so I have to be patient. I'm not good at that, lol.

Well it is not all spring time and puppies, but it is also not a dank dark basement cave.
Way easier than when Mel was killed I think.
But OMG! Boris is one bad, bad, evil man.
Ian is better off, I think, after the drama in Devour.
So stay strong and carry on

I did.

Already read it... the flashbacks were heartbreaking. A«I'm about to finish the shorties, because yes, I am a sucker for them, and then move up to the next.

And then maybe I'll dip into Ward Security, because I do love me some spin-off series, and they're on KU as well.

Nice, I was only able to get those first 4 from the library, I have purchased Blaze, but have yet to read it.
Wish I had KU, but just can not justify it. But have gotten close a few times.

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 12882 comments Good evening ladies and gents!

Today our wonderful magical train has taken us to Canada. Aside from Moose and delicious Maple syrup, Canada also has some beautiful Men scenic spots. It often seems that people forget how incredibly huge Canada is, which means they're often surprised by the sheer amount of awesome things to be found there...

And because there are some things you can just never get tired of looking at...

I vote we slow this train down a touch to fully appreciate all that Canada has to offer... ;)

I don't have a library, sooooo... I had to add an US address to my account because my country also doesn't have Amazon.

Basically when I'm in a reading slump I cancel the subscription and only renovate it for wheels or towers. Then I catch up on my Ella Frank and NR Walker titles, and sometimes find new gems.

I didn't jump into Blaze right away... I checked the ward security publication date and there are at least 2 that were published before blaze. The first one being about Sven and George. So I HAD to read that one first. I think the second one is about Quinn and the third about Royce.

You are always welcome.

He says he can't find the drool cloths, but is going to stop by with a load of books for you instead...

Seriously! But will a cloth be enough?

Hum, I guess I will need to go look at the books for that.
But as I did an author search for both Jocelynn and Rinda, I know my libraries have nothing.

PS: sorry to hear of your limited options for reading material. 😞😟


message 986: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments I had to be creative... But between KU, eARCs and the occasional book purchase, I manage alright.

It helps that I only banshee read during challenges, and I don't join that many. Only NBRCs actually.

I used to be active on a few more groups, but that was some years ago. Life changes, and so do we.


Alison (Lady Coffin) S | 949 comments Sonia wrote: "She can always use the porter's shirt... Just saying"

True, true!


Alison (Lady Coffin) S | 949 comments Sonia, I did check and have Psycho Romeo on my tbr list, so will get to it at somepoint.
When you are done could you please tell me if the book timeline, is actually set before Blaze, or if it is just the Pub date.

Teehee, that's some impressive timing on her part.
Still gotta love that he actually reads, no? And that he needs a whole bag to carry his purchases afterwards. (I'm gonna go with the assumption it is indeed full of books, and not take-out from the bookshop cafe, lol)

Andrei and Lucas are still engaged, so I'd say before. It's spoiler free though. I already finished it. Want me to see if it's Lendable? That could work


message 994: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Sadly, no loan option.


Alison (Lady Coffin) S | 949 comments Sonia wrote: "Sadly, no loan option."

Thanks for checking. From something someone else told me no KU is lendable. Only purchased or possibly free are options.
I will figure it out down the road.
Thanks for the info

Totally, but just record a promise from each of them first that they will be quite for a bit so you can read.
Just because their "bit" may be a short time, and your "bit" may be much, much longer is just trivial details.
But it may be useful later. (by your defense attorney.) 😉
