It'll probably be one of the first books I read in June!

Is it June yet?! I'm ready to start reading some of the books that I have listed!

[♥Lynn ♥]

DarkHeart "Vehngeance" Born of Fire was a good read. I hope you like it!

Hi everyone! I need a few friends too.
Thanks to this group I've found so many great books to read.

[Kelley Anne]

Wow! I really should have looked to see how many friends I had before you posted for this challenge, and how many I now have! I've gain a lot! But you never can have too many friends on here.

Crap, was that the end? :( I thought maybe b/c of how this one ended and by the book blurb, but ... over and done?

Okay Shannon, the pressure is on for you to read it quickly. LOL!!I ordered mine from Amazon using the supersaver shipping so I probably won't get it till end of the week.

Glad to hear you were satisfied with the ending. Isn't it sad when a good series ends. I'm still dealing with the end of Lost on tv and now this. Too much for my sensitive self!!

[Steph]

Amber,

Night Huntress World, Book #1 was awesome. I see you have Night Huntress on your list, but not sure which book you mean. If you haven't read First Drop of Crimson yet, that's a great one (if you've read other NH books).

Have you read any of these series? They all had pretty recent (and IMHO, must read) releases.

* Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs (most recently Silver Borne)

* Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews (Magic Bleeds)

* Riley Jenson by Keri Arthur (Moon Sworn)

* Nocturne City by Caitlin Kittredge (Daemon's Mark)

* LoTU by Gena Showalter (The Darkest Passion)

* Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead (Spirit Bound)

* Soul Screamers by Rachel Vincent (My Soul to Keep)

Just some from my read and/or TBR soon list.

[Amber I.]

The Night Huntress I just ordered from amazon is Halfway to the Grave. I'm new to the series. Thanks for the list the only ones on it I have read are the Vampire Academy series and Soul Screamers. I'm going to look up the others now.

[Rachel]

Here's my list:

1/10 Done

1. Destiny Kills by Keri Arthur (Valorie)
2. Sabriel by Garth Nix (Mette)
3. Blood Price by Tanya Huff (Kelley Anne)
4. Queene of Light by Jennifer Armintrout (LooLoo)
5. Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews (DarkHeart "Vehngeance”)6/3/10★★★★

I only had one friend before this challenge. Now I have like 31. This is a good challenge for making friends. I also found a lot of new books to read from my new friends.

[♥Lynn ♥]

Steph and LooLoo, this is from Arthur's website under FAQ's:
How many books will be in the Riley series?

I have nine books planned in total. There will be an offshoot series, set in the same world and featuring Risa, Dia’s little girl. It’ll focus more on the Aedh and demons rather than vamps and werewolves.

[Steph]

Great minds, Lynn... I popped over to her site to check it out and read that. I'm bummed. I think mainly b/c I didn't know before this book that the series was/would be ending. Oh well. I really liked "Moon Sworn" and think she did a good job tying things up. Didn't feel rushed or anything.

Thanks for the update! I'm looking forward to the next series. Have you read any of her others? I've read "Ripple Creek Werewolves" and will be reading book 1 of the "Nikki & Michael" series sometime this year.

[Melinda]

Thanks to those of you who offered to be my friend. I greatly appreciate having some buddies to find books to read. Below is my list for the June Challenge. Again, THANKS!

1. From Loo-Loo, The Mage in Black by Jaye Wells.
2. From Sandy, Magic Bleeds by Illona Andrews
3. From Michelle, Angel's Blood by Nalini Singh
4. From Alyssa, Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
5. From LethalLovely, Strange Angels by Lilith Saintcrow
6. From DarkHeart "Vehngeance", Staked by J.F. Lewis
7. From Mrs.soule, Tithe by Holly Black
8. From Lucy, Storm Glass by Maria V. Snyder
9. From KelleyAnne, Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead
10.From Teresa, The Ice Dragon by Bianca D'Arc

[Jenny]

I'm smiling at how friendly everyone is and adding friends. I hope I don't spam/harass. If I do it's unintentional. Let me know and I'll hit my Goodreads settings with a wrench until they behave.

Sadly I don't think I'll be able to meet the challenge this month, but sending everyone good karma for heaps of reading time and chocolate fudge sundaes to keep you fuelled ;) Good luck and happy reading

I am new to GR and I need about 8 friends. I also have tons of paranormal books on my read list.

[Steph]

I'm happy to accept any friend requests. Take a peek at my shelves & see if something on my list interests you. :)

[♥Lynn ♥]

I sent you a friend invite Tina!

[♥Lynn ♥]

Steph, I have read the first book in the "Nikki & Michael" series. I was not crazy about it. It was her first book and she has grown so much since writing it. I finished, but it will take me a while to pick up the next one.

[Socrate]

I'm available to become friends :) That is the only way to participate. I only have 1 friend, my sister. I sent 2 requests jus now so...please say yes.

[N.L.]

Rhonda, Tina and Socrate, I added you. :)

[Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads)]

[Gemma]

I'm just about finished Small Favour, then its on to Junes books.

[Ann aka Iftcan]

OK--here is my tentitive list. Some (about half) the books are on request from the library, so I might have to change my list later.

But, at least for now, this is it.
