Working on a Sunday was a pain, but it sure is nice to have the first day of a challenge off work to be able to read :)

Finished The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan... I really liked this one and I think it was a good ending to the series. It seemed to tie all the major plotlines up without seeming forced about it. I was glad to see he left the door open to other possible books in the same world, although I'm looking forward to his new Egyptian-based series this summer.

Wow, ok, I am so tired I had to read that 3 times before I could tell that it didn't actually say Scooby doo Violence

[The Flooze]

Ball buster. Thanks, Shannon.

:p

[Shannon]

: D

[Laura Lulu]

Wow Michelle, with the way you like Mead, I never would have thought you hadn't read the Vamp Academy books.

I've read all 3 of her series and Vampire Academy is my favorite. So there.

And I see you're finally going to take on the brothers. I'm dying to know your opinion--read fast. :)

[The Flooze]

Scooby Doo Violence! That's awesome. Now I'm disappointed in the real name.

Laura, I was afraid of Succubus angst rearing its ugly head. I thought I'd take a break from Mead, but I cave so easily under peer pressure.

And yes, I've bought BDB #2 and plan on it this month. But, hey, it's a short month...

:p

Some of you are making feel very inferior! Haha! I'm only 1/3 of the way done with my first book and some of you are on your 2nd and 3rd books. This challenge is going to kill me. Especially since I just realized that The Host is over 600 pages! Might be changing that one. ;)

I keep putting The Host off, but I started it last night, surprising how quick a read it is - already 60 pages in.

Flib, are you dying now? Does your book have a broken spine from being thrown across the room?

[FlibBityFLooB]

hehehehhehe. I listened to the audiobooks, so no broken spine ;)

I actually love a good cliff-hanger at times... brings back the thrill of something to anticipate. hehehe I'm weird that way!

[Laura Lulu]

I don't hate them the way that some others do--I've read people who are actually mad at KMM for the cliffhangers.

The warnings never kept me from reading the books, I read them back to back about a month or so ago. I especially loved the cliffhangers when I had the next book sitting right there waiting to be read--10 seconds of "OMG!!! No waaaay!!!" :)

But this one in Dreamfever, I must have reread the last chapter about 5 times, trying to make heads or tails of it. No luck. :)
