Me too Daphne, it was one of my favorite 2009 books. Changeless was pretty good and then had a very shocking ending that made me preorder Blameless.
I haven't read Changeless yet but it's at the top of my list. Even more so after reading your comment! :) I already bought it and will be reading it soon...
I'll warn you, DO NOT read the end ahead of time. I did that which was a huge mistake. You'll see what I mean when you read the book.
Oh, yay!! Thanks ladies! I plan to wipe out Bloodlist tonight and hit Soulless as soon as I'm finished.

I swapped out Lover Unbound for The Sea of Monsters - I like Percy Jackson, those books are good fun. Plus this means I don't have to rush through Lover Unbound.

3/4 DoneThe Hunger Games
The Wise Man's Fear was delayed until next year... I'll have to find a new fantasy to read. Bahumbug! At this rate I'll never finish this challenge. It doesn't help that I keep picking new fantasy novels that I just can't bring myself to finish.Suppose the Roger Zelazny book I read could count as one of my fantasy books. I still need to something I can get into by a new author...
I'm open to suggestions for my new fantasy author.
