You know I've seen this before, will you read it? That's the question... You know Born of Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon will fit #8... I'm just saying... ehehehehe ;D

[Mel]

LOL, yes I saw that. It's either that or The Host, neither of which sound too appealing... *grumble grumble* Maybe I can fit Slave to Sensation in for #8?
As for Night Pleasures: I will definitely try to read that. Though Outlander is next on my list and since it's over 800 pages long I doubt I can finish all 10 of the books on my list. And if certain books are going to be eliminated... miss Kenyon's might just be one of the unlucky ones. I'm just saying... ;)

On the Prowl By Patricia Briggs
Hunting Ground By Patricia Briggs



On the Prowl, I read the Patricia Briggs story of the Alpha and Omega series. I LOVED this story!! Best short story I have ever read. I also loved Hunting Ground. I can not wait to read the next book by her. Briggs is a great shifter writer. I could not get enough of the wolves she created. Worth the read if you have not read it yet.

[Mel]

Thanks Sarah! Bianca D'Arc it is. I've never read anything by her before and I see that the series you mentioned is shelved under erotica -normally not really my thing- but a new year means new chances and trying new things and I shall try to broaden my horizon. Hooray! ( sorry...still jetlagged)

As for [boo..."

Mel - You really should give either Born of Night or The Host a chance! They are both fantastic. Two of my favs! Or if you don't mind more Sci-fi try Ender's Game.

LOL!!! I will try and not add anymore days. I added in my head. What day you you have the book coming out? I am going by a sign I saw at the bookstore which said April 27th. I am going to look on goodreads to see when they have it coming out.

According to Amazon.com, where I pre-ordered the book in October (I may have a tiny obession LOL!) I have April 27th as well.

[♥Lynn ♥]

Good! I have heard later than that!! It could come out tomorrow and I would be in Heaven!

[Gemma]

I got an email from amazon.co.uk saying it would be out earlier too!

I think as long as you started it after the 1st of January it's fine. If you started it before the first, even if it isn't finished, then you aren't allowed to use it.

[Gemma]

phew! thanks Tara! :)

[Tara]

No problem!

[Storm]

Oh wait, I can read Roswell.

[♥Lynn ♥]

Rose, I have only read one alien book before. It was Host by S. Meyer. I liked it. For this month, I am reading Gena Showalter's Awaken Me Darkly. It is a first in a series. I hope I can handle it. I am not really an alien type person. LOL.

Its also, as you probably gathered from the book the short story was in, a YA series. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Telcy said...Guys, I just finished Patricia Brigs' Moon Called. I can't help it, I am straying, I have to read bk 2.

That's a great series, not sure you'll be able to stop after book 2 either.

[Telcy]

Melissa, I don't think I will make the challenge if you are right, which I believe you are.

[Ebonygold]

The Resonance Mates series by Bianca D'Arc IS erotica, however once you get past the first book - which is m/m/m/f :S - the story develops. Yes there is quite a bit of sex in the other 3 books but it seems to actually have a purpose rather than just being 'ok lets put sex in this bit.'

Personally I have this series on my watch list for new books, the story seems like it has a long way to go!!
