Neither can I! I hope it lives up to the expectation raised by the excerpt Nalini Singh published on her website. Hot, hot, hot! :)


Currently reading Fireflies. Who can resist a book with...Warning, this title contains the following: explicit male/male sex, graphic language, violence, and inappropriate use of plants. Inappropriate use of plants? Oh, I'm so there!

I read Tiger Eye last year and thought it was good enough to keep reading that series. I have now read the first four and I still have mixed feelings. Each book seemed like the writing style changed. I've never had that happen. The plots were decent, though. I really liked the second and fourth books. I plan to read the rest in the series, but I'm in no hurry.

Lol - I did try to warn you.
"Currently reading Fireflies. Who can resist a book with...Warning, this title contains the following: explicit male/male sex, graphic language, violence, and inappropriate use of plants. Inappropriate use of plants? Oh, I'm so there!"
Yeah, the inappropriate use of plants certainly made my eyes wide. Oh, the possibilities...


No, Adrienne, it wasn't. :) It was not at all what I was expecting.

OK, Dina, I took your advice and am saving Hostage to Pleasure for next month (that sounds leagues away!), but it does spread the books out more evenly. Started Chapman's Charming the Highlander last night, but was so exhausted I only got thru the first two chapters (chapter 1 is early 18th Scotland, chapter 2 is modern day), but so far so good.



LOL, Lori, she did warn everyone, it's true. xD
Josephine, that's great to hear. I'm going to be reading that one soon too. :D

I'm currently reading Vampires are Forever by Lynsay Sands

I am also reading " I'm the vampire, that's why" I keep a book at home and a book at work that way I never forget one and there is always something to read!


Michelle I have read all the books in the PC Cast series. I had trouble getting into the first one but when I did it was great and I wanted to read all of them.

The end left me wanting to pick up the next one just to see where it goes. I'm curious now... lol!
I will try and read the next one when I'm finished with the Challenges, thanks

This is one of my favorite series. I was pleasently surprised too. I was really disapointed though with the last book. Hopefully the series will pick back up again with the next book!
I've been blasting through Richelle Mead's Storm Born. I started reading it yesterday evening, and I'm almost finished with it now. It's another one of those times when I just can't read fast enough, gah! I need to know how it ends!

I loved Storm Born, much better than the Succubus books. The only downside is waiting for book 2!







Now starting The Mage by J. Johnson, the 8th & last book in her Sons of Destiny series. Will see if that one lives up to my expectations.




I'm in the middle of Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. Everyone's recommended this really highly, but... I'm not terribly impressed so far. Maybe it'll blow me away by the end, but I'm kind of ready to be finished with it already.

Fangirl, so sorry you're disappointed in 'Inkheart' - I listened to the entire trilogy and loved it, but I'm sure part of that loving was because the reader gave 'voice' to each character.

Are you going to watch the movie after finishing the book?
Almost done with Undead and Unemployed by MaryJanice Davidson. I've seen mixed reviews on this seris, but I really like it. Maybe it's because I'm from Minnesota and it takes place in the Twin Cities. LOL I also started Dark Needs At Night's Edge by Kresley Cole.

oh...I just read it last week...I love Queen Betsy... I think she's fantastic :)

I know. I just love her. I'm always laughing at what she says.

What do you think of it Aubrey? I am reading the next one called "Real Vampire's live large"

I have read all the Betsy books and am anxiously awaiting the new one to come out next month. They were the first Paranormal to make me laugh out loud.

For some reason this series is harder to get into for me, did anyone else have that problem? I liked all her other works: Nightseer, her anthologies and her other books but these are just hard to really latch onto.
I struggled through the first three books and thought I was just gonna give up and then she kicks the story into overdrive, I guess you could say, the last 30 - 40 pages and makes you want to read on. Though, getting to the ending is hard for me :P


I suppose it's technically UF -- first person with a longer story arc. I really like the heroine's take on living with vampires. It's not as easy as some stories make it out to be :) Plus, Dexter the vampire dog is awesome (he's on the cover, and I'm a sucker for great covers) and the existence of vampire dogs could totally explain some of my dog's bad behaviors.
