I loved Soulless! I know its not for everybody, but I'd like to know what you think when you're done. I have Changeless, book 2 in the series. I just haven't read it yet b/c I've heard that it has a cliffhanger ending; so I'm waiting until closer to September when the 3rd book is released.
I also liked Undead and Unwed a lot too.
Hey Michelle, these are two series that I wanted to read since I joined GR. I finally have an handle on them. Thanks for the feedback. So will let you know what I think. : )

I have a couple of questions. Can you carry a book over from the previous month? Would Claire Randall from Outlander qualify as a strong lead?
Gigi wrote: "I have a couple of questions. Can you carry a book over from the previous month? Would Claire Randall from Outlander qualify as a strong lead?"For your first question, "technically" no, books should be read from the first day of the month to the last day of the same month. But, we do not check up on what you decide to do. However, I don't believe a few days prior to the start of the month is a big deal. Claire? Travels back and forth through time, is married to two men AND a nurse. That sounds like a strong heroine to me!

Thanks Megan! Count me in. I'll be more than happy to restart the book. I haven't gotten that far anyway.
