You are very welcome. Now, if I can ever figure out the strike thru feature, I'll be happier than a clam at high tide!"
The strikethrough is and letter s>, without the spaces or the word "letter." I couldn't type it without that word in there, or it would have just dissappeared as html, striking through anything in between. Next to the "add book/author" is an option for "some html is ok." It should show the codes there if I'm not making sense.

; I was told it was a good book, and now I know. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
One month today - I am so excited about Shadowfever - I honestly don't think I have ever been this bad about a series of books before!Hope you enjoy your fever:)
I totally understand. I'm not sure how I keep all my authors straight. I have 18 books on my desk right now to read, and another 20 pending at the library! I am one sick puppy. :O)
There is no cure! I have an excel spreadsheet to try and keep track of it - that is kind of how I found Good Reads. I'm still trying to transfer the whole thing!38 books to read? Hope you're having a long holiday:)

Not a long holiday per se, more like a long bout of being out of work without a sniff n scratch at another one until at least the new year. ::shrug::
That sucks - my husband is in the same place, there is just nothing out there:(
My problem is my age, and education. Most employers in this economy don't want to pay me. Anyway, we can only hope and pray that 2011 is better.
Yes fingers x'd I can't remember it ever being this bad:(
First time in my entire life that I've been out of work this long and I've been working since I was 16. Too bad at least ONE of my books didn't catch someone's eye. I wouldn't mind it as much. Thank God for my family.

Product Description
In order to save the world, a superhero-in-training must overcome not only her archenemy, but her fear of falling in love with the handsome detective who can help her.
Finally got a chance to read The Historian. Didn't love it, but it was an interesting book
Finished

Evolve: Vampire Stories of the New Undead
REally really goodand
Shades of Gray
Just cracking it.
I finished
, which was really good, and
, which wasn't as good. Next up is
.
I've finished
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo I found the book most entertaining, evoking many differing emotions... disgust, suspense intrigue, and a few laughs also. I am looking foward to the sequels. 4stars
City of Ashes The twists are epic and jaw-dropping, the action very gripping. I can't wait to read the rest of their journey in City of Glass. I would recommend this series to all ages. 4stars
Mary Queen of Scots and the Murder of Lord Darnley It is extremely well researched and very careful in it's dealings with highly biased source material. Alison's Weir's conclusions on Mary and the murder of Darnley hardly rock the boat, but nevertheless this is a readable and highly detailed account of a most interesting historical event. I also gave this book 4starsI have started
Cry Wolf and
Wild Magic
Looks like I've finally escaped the Real Life Monster, which had wrestled me to the ground the last couple months, taking up TOO much reading and online time!Recent Reads:
Every Last Drop - Charlie Huston
Changeless - Gail Carriger
The Angry Angel - Chelsea Quinn Yarbro
Margarita Nights - Phyllis Smallman
Now reading A Christmas Visitor - Ann Perry
Read and finished Grave Sight and Grave Surprise by Charlaine Harris. Liked them both,and am looking forward to reading the next books. Just started Marked by P.C. and Kristin Cast, so far so good. I'm not a big fan of fashion obsessed teen girl POV but I really love vamps. Also reading The Outlaws of Sherwood by Robin McKinley though it's not urban fantasy.
finished 12/22/2010. I really liked the concept behind this book and look forward to next August for Black Night. I really want to see what happens with Antares and Maddy. Next up?

Hi Rebecca ~ Nice review of the Alison Weir book. I checked my library site and they have this book ... all 670 pages! With my sagging shelves, 670 pages sounds daunting ;-).
Thanks for reminding me of this excellent author that I've wanted to read more of. I read her Innocent Traitor about Lady Jane Gray (Grey?) and it was superb.
finished 12/22/2010....an 80 page novella called Possession in Death with review posted....next up

Finished
the 2nd book of this series. Will start
next. After that
. See how many I can get in before the end of 2010.
Shelley, there is nothing wrong with having no life. All having a life does is get in the way of reading books. ;)
Well said Becca:)I have just finished
and I got a Kindle yesterday (woohoo!!) and I started
I love Keri Arthur anyway but was still surprised by the un-put-downable-ness of this book:)I read
recently Shelley so I look forward to your thoughts.
Becca, you're crazy! Ha, I love it. I guess it's a good thing that I currently have no job and have 31 books in my pile to read then! :O) **I wonder if I could find a job just doing book reviews? HeheheChantel, I'm looking forward to reading it as well; especially since I've already the blurb at the end of last book. Then, of course, we will have a new release in April!
i finished
and right now i'm reading

Finished

Then...
Then...
I'm reading
. After that is probably
because I need to get it back to the library. I really want to get as many physical books read as I can before my Kindle arrives.
Finished Faking It by Jennifer Crusie last night. I really enjoyed this one! Working on the audiobook of Treasure Mountain: The Sacketts by Louis L'Amour. I've never read a Western before, but I really like this one.
Starting Street Magic by Caitlin Kittredge today.
