Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 405 comments Oh I love the Noble Dead series, I think it is a good combination of horror/fantasy with a touch of romance, although a shaky start it gets better with each book I think.

message 257: by Desperado (last edited Jun 30, 2010 10:53PM) (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) I picked up the following from the library today:
Fire (The Seven Kingdoms Trilogy, #2) by Kristin Cashore Fire In His Eyes by Stella Price Lover Mine (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #8) by J.R. Ward Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock, #1) by Faith Hunter Under Fire (Firefighters of Station Five, #2) by Jo Davis Burning Alive (Sentinel Wars, #1) by Shannon K. Butcher Ruthlessly Bedded, Forcibly Wedded (Presents Extra) by Abby Green Sicilian Husband, Unexpected Baby (Harlequin Presents) by Sharon Kendrick Taming Her Irish Warrior (Harlequin Historical Series) by Michelle Willingham Memoirs of a Millionaire's Mistress (Harlequin Presents, #2914) by Anne Oliver
Some are for a few July 2010 challenges & some are just because. I've just recently read my first Harlequin romance after staying away from those suckers like the plague so now I've made it my mission to find one I like enough to give at least 4 stars. God help me.

Oh & Guilty Pleasure (Bound Hearts, #11) by Lora Leigh should be coming in the mail any day now.

Kelleigh (goodreadscomsunshine2047) | 0 comments It's getting to the point where I'm buying 5 or 6 books every week! So far this week I've bought on my Kindle:

Covet
the entire Demonica series
The first fever book
The first Vampire Academy book
Another random book someone suggested, can't find the name!

Reading just brings me such great joy...so if I spend a little too much, then oh well! I'm allowed my guilty pleasure!

Literary Ames (amyorames) | 276 comments After a crappy day yesterday I went to the bargain book shop and got the following for less than a fiver:

Dark Beginnings / The Darkest Fire / The Darkest Prison / The Darkest Angel  by Gena Showalter The Darkest Whisper (Lords of the Underworld, #4) by Gena Showalter Lover Revealed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #4) by J.R. Ward

***Tip for UK peeps*** --> I later made a discovery which put a very big smile on my face: I found and downloaded Kindle for Android onto my phone and once I'd done so all the free books (which I'd previously had to pay VAT on) were FINALLY FREE! So I downloaded a couple:

Darkfever (Fever, #1) by Karen Marie Moning Kiss Me Deadly (Silhouette Nocturne) by Michele Hauf as well as buying: Starlight (Gay Male Erotica) by Jordan Castillo Price Among the Living (PsyCop, #1) by Jordan Castillo Price

message 271: by Mariya (new)

Mariya (cr6zym0nkeyiz) so ill be picking up Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1) by Ilona Andrews at the library.


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 405 comments I hope youlike it Mariya, it is such a good series, for me it s up there with the Night Huntress series


message 273: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) I agree Suzanne. Although, I think it is better than the Night Huntress series (my all time fave -- I think the Fever series is better than the Kate Daniels series). Mariya, I have heard some people get frustrated with book #1 b/c Andrews drops you into the world without alot of explanations. She does that, which I like b/c she explains as she goes. I hope you like it!


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 405 comments I can't ever make up my mind between the two, most the time it is whichever one I have read most recently. But I do prefer Curran to Bones, there is just something about shifters!


message 275: by Desperado (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) I picked up these from the library today: Blood Cross (Jane Yellowrock, #2) by Faith Hunter Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy, #5) by Richelle Mead Mr. Fix-It (Indigo Love Spectrum) by Crystal Hubbard Hunting Julian (Gatherers, #1) by Jacquelyn Frank

Literary Ames (amyorames) | 276 comments I was pleasantly surprised to see my local supermarket (Morrisons) selling UF and PNR this morning. And it was at a big discount!
I bought Heat Stroke (Weather Warden, #2) by Rachel Caine but they also had the first book and some JR Ward and Kenyon. I'll be browsing down their book aisle more often now!


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 405 comments I went to ASDA and couldn't resist buying:

Scar Night (Deepgate Codex, #1) by Alan Campbell

It looks like a mix of steampunk and fantasy, how was any mere mortal able to resist!

Excellent nes Amy, never seen any of those in our local Morrisons. Hopefully they will get some in once the rebuild following their fire is finished!


message 285: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) What is steampunk?


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 405 comments It is a subset of fantasy, where technology is generally steambased, and is often set in a Victorian like era, and in the UK.

Examples of steampunk:

Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate, #1) by Gail Carriger Northern Lights (His Dark Materials, #1) by Philip Pullman Boneshaker (The Clockwork Century, #1) by Cherie Priest

I am not sure how well I have explained it though!

Although Scar Night is a bit different as it looks as though it is set in a alternate world.


message 287: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) Hmmm interesting. Thank you!


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 405 comments Out of all those I would recommed "Northern Lights" if you haven't already read it, also found another one on my shelf:

Literary Ames (amyorames) | 276 comments I bought and downloaded The Tale of the Vampire Bride by Rhiannon Frater as the author's just signed a contract with a big publisher so I thought I'd get the rest of her books cheap whilst I can.

Literary Ames (amyorames) | 276 comments Today I bought:

Born of Night (The League, #1) by Sherrilyn Kenyon Born of Fire (The League, #2)  by Sherrilyn Kenyon Born of Ice (The League, #3) by Sherrilyn Kenyon New Moan The Twishite Saga A Parody The First Book in the Twishite Saga A Parody (Twishite Saga 1) by Stephfordy Mayo The Fallen 1 The Fallen and Leviathan (The Fallen, #1-2) by Thomas E.

That last one is technically non-fiction but it looks entertaining. And please don't hate me for the Twilight parody, it made me laugh in the store so I bought it, plus it was on offer and it's a crime to ignore those, right? ;-)
