This so out of left field but I wish you could all read Danae Ayusso's stuff... She's snarky,funny and her stuff is pretty raw and out there. You could say she's the the reason I started reading PNR's. I follow her blog religiously.
@Britnee YAY you're reading Fever!!! Barrons <3@Carina i was thinking about getting those books too. they say it's like gossip girl in the medieval time. let me know if it's good. :)

yes he is!!! although i like Bones more, now that I've met him. haha.
@Joanna I'll let you know for sure!@Brit I love Barrons! But I think I love Bones a little more!
Bones isnt afraid to show his feeling to Cat and the world, and he doesnt come off all girly. He keeps his maculinity while showing his love for Cat. You've gotta love that!
Although Barrons was making progress in book 4, but Mac was to dumb to see it =/

I agree with everything you said about Bones and Barrons! :)
I ditched out to go watch t.v. with the husband for a little while but I'm back and laughing at how both Fever and Night Huntress are now both the main topics in my HISTORICAL romance group. Too funny. I made a comment about how I'd kill for Bones to call me kitten and we're all squealing like little girls.That and they seem to be amused by chapter 32 in book number 2. (it's the big love scene)
The Luxe is beautifully written but it will make you feel all sorts of emotions, not all of them good (but it's still a very good series).
Can't wait to read the start of her newest series :
I've had it for a while but haven't gotten to it yet.
I'm still waiting for my library to get Bright Young Things. Instead they order boring books that no one reads. I need to take over all of the librarians jobs.
@Stacia Oh the infamus Chapter 32, I think we were all "amused" by it. *wink*My lil sister finished reading VA and she asked me for another series, so now she's happily reading Halfway to the Grave, haha. My mom told me I got my sisters under my reading spell. Aparently Im a witch now, hahaha! She got a little mad cause I took it as a compliment ;D

? If so, is it any good?"i've read the synopsis it's about Spade. :) i'll read it after night huntress. :)
@Britnee it is good! I read it a couple weeks ago. I still prefer NH but its was still pretty good..@Jessica Love Crescendo! Hope you enjoy it!
@Lazuline it looks good. Imma have to check it out. (this is what I always say before adding a book to my pile lol!)@Joanna Wohoo! Book two is awesome!

It is pretty awesome, you should definitely give it a try. I wasn't sure whether I would like it at first, and the dialogue and writing style take a bit of getting used to, but the book is amazing after you get into it. :)
And agreed, NH #2 is one of the best books in the series. Bones is in it, 'nuff said.
@Joanna I agree with Lazuline. Book 2 is one of the best! (specially after the ending on book 1).Im planning on re-reading the NH books before book 5 comes out!!

Thanks ladies, I shall let you know :)
Crescendo = Patch = GoodnessI only made it halfway through Unholy Ghosts after several attempts to start over. It wasn't for me, BUT I know several people that love the series so I just chalk it up to my short attention span. I think her books are either ones that you love or just can't get into, sort of like Outlander (which I love, but this series is a very strong love or hate deal) or Parasol Protectorate (I liked the first book but had no desire to continue on to the next).
I didn't get around to reading yesterday, so I'm still on Golden Spiral. Won't be able to purchase Awakened until late Thursday night.
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/3...The last page is the "chapter 32" discussion. We had the same exact topic in Delirity not too long ago. Seems people really love chapter 32. I have to go back and read it soon me thinks.
@Stacia I think I said this already but Im planning on re-reading all the NH books before the 5th one comes out! I just love this series lol..

get better"imo, yes. i guess. although I'm not really a fan. but still a good story. :) and characters.
The first half was sort of slow, but it did pick up near the end. I finally went back and dropped my rating to 3 stars. I think that I let everyone else's "love" of the book peer pressure me into giving it 4 stars when it wasn't really a 4 star book for me.I realized that I needed to be honest with myself and stop caring if I don't agree 100% with the love.
I remember when I read Fallen and was bored to death for the first 2/3 of the book and everyone was like "OMG I LOVE THIS BOOK." I felt so jerky when I was semi-bashing it.The ending of that book was pretty great though, and the only reason I ended up going on to read and love Torment as much as I did. Torment was so much better, even if it has less Cam (sadface).
I was obsessed with Fallen back in the day when I first read it. Now its just okay. If not for Cam I would give up on the series probably.
I was checking my READ books the other day and I noticed that I have mostly 4 and 5 star ratings with a few 3 star. I was thinking either Im really generous or I've read really good books! I have NO 1 or 2 star ratings!!
Carina wrote: "I was checking my READ books the other day and I noticed that I have mostly 4 and 5 star ratings with a few 3 star. I was thinking either Im really generous or I've read really good books! I have ..."About a month back I noticed that about mine too. So I went through and Re-rated xD
Sometimes I want to bring down a rating cause the book really wasnt that good, but for some reason I cant do it....Im a wuss =/
When I first joined GR, I had a lot of books that were much higher rated, and now I go back and adjust if I see something that's way off.I remember when Twilight was the only PNR I had read so it got a 4 star rating, then several series later I had to go back and drop it to a 3 star after realizing that there were so many books I considered WAY better. Same with HoN. I really enjoyed it as my first read after Twilight, but most of those books are only 3 star for me now. Enjoyable, but not nearly as good as so many others.
VA and MI will never get an adjustment though. I will love those forever, no matter what else I read. VA book 1 only got a 3 star for me though, but the rest were all 5 star (the last could have been 4 star, but I was happy with Rose's pick so I felt generous).
