[Nita]

Finished my first for this challenge, Assassin's Honor. It is the first in a series. Again I run into liking the concept and mythology, but not liking the romance. I usually do not mind it when a couple meets each other and it is almost instant love but for some reason it annoyed me a bit in this book. Will most likely read the second book when it comes out, and see how I feel then about the series.

MARTINA'S JULY CHALLENGE - OF TIME & SPACE - 2/10 COMPLETED

Just finished Captain Jack's Woman (★★★★). This book is a historical romance (I couldn't find any pnr from 1977) set in England in the early 1800's. It's mostly set in the countryside near the coast. There's a fair mix of romance/sex and excitement/danger from smuggling/spies, which I always appreciate. I can't abide a romance that is nothing but romance anymore.

Generally speaking, I enjoyed the book a lot, but I also tend to enjoy books set in this time period (like Jane Austen) so that might be a given. :-)

Set in Chicago - Assassin's Honor July 4 - 3 Stars

[Jessica]

4/10 I'm not sure what to rate Bullet, LKH gets so bogged down in details and stupid internal drama that the real story is hard to see sometimes. I feel like I'm reading the same issues and sex scenes over and over again. I guess I'll give it 3 stars.

1. Historical - Wolfbreed
2. Contemporary - Once Dead, Twice Shy 7/3 3 stars
3. Future - Uglies
4. Time-Travel - The Time Traveler's Wife 7/7 5 stars
5. 1983 - Pet Sematary
6. Urban - Bullet 7/8 3 stars
7. Small Town - Grave Surprise 7/2 4 stars
8. Space - Xenocide
9. Fantasy -
10. Visited -
