Thanks, they are all the books that I have stacked up on my must read pile on my poor bookcase, lol they appear in almost all of my (15!) challenges at the moment!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Holy moly!!! I can barely handle the ones I do here!

I bow down to your challenge greatness!

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Lol not all of them are monthly, but I get a little challenged obsessed, I just can't say no when I see one! I have this massive spreadsheet (all done in pretty colours) tracking them, otherwise I would just never remember! I just read that back and realized I seriously need to get a life!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! You and me both, sister. You and me both.

Fair enough, I think boring books are harder to read then just really bad books, at least some bad books are fascinating in their own way!

I LOVED Mockingjay! You should definately read it! Have you read the first two books?

Defintely read the first two first, otherwise you will have no idea what is going on lol. My cover is different from the blue one, infact all my covers seem to be different from the normal ones, but that I probably because I am in the UK.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

You've got more will power than I do, Nissie. I'd be on my 3 re-read of Wicked Ties if I were you. Heck, I might not even be able to finish the challenge what with all the re-reading I'd do of that book.

Jack Cole was sooooooooooooooooo danged yummy!

[Nissie Lambert]

Indeed he was!!! I don't mean to brag but I impressed myself with my will power to finish that last book. And I will re-read Wicked Ties very soon. I'm gonna have to re-read Decadent,too. I didn't realize it was the same series. But oh,yeah...Jack Cole! I'd call him "Sir" :)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I'll be interested to see what you think of Decadent. My review wasn't very... flattering... but I'd love to see if you enjoy the book.

[Nissie Lambert]

I read it a while back. I remember liking it. But sometimes my opinions change from one read to the next. I do remember how STOOOOPID Deke's reasoning was. But I'll let you know how I feel about it when I get done this next time.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

That's what I hated about it. His deep, dark secret was lame compared to how he acted. Here he is, this big, macho guy and something that happened in highschool made him unable to have sex without his cousin there to make sure it didn't happen again? Hello! Military man, you should be able to see that it wasn't your fault!!!

[Nissie Lambert]

LOL!! And did really think that his lovemaking was so devastating that any virgin he had was going to kill herself? I thought I was a hot mess, but I think he's got me beat! That's another reason I love to read. I get to see so many people who are more screwed up and psychotic than I am lol! I really liked Luc, but someone told me he was a condescending ass in his story.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

It was almost the same type thing with Luc, but not quite... it's hard to explain without giving away too much. My review was full of spoilers if I remember right. As I recall, I pretty much ranted through Decadent and Delicious reviews. LOL

[Nissie Lambert]

I don't have Delicious yet and I found out last night there's a fourth book in the series- Surrender To Me. I may just have to look at your reviews. Spoilers don't really bother me that much. Wonder why Jack doesn't have any intelligent friends? :)

'Cuz they all think with their penises!! Or Peni... what is the plural of penis? LOL
