Ok, we're 4 days in. Who's almost done? LOLOL

Please remember to post your stats for me. It makes it so much easier for me to keep track and update them if I don't have to use my toes AND fingers to count.

[Mandy]

Part of my challenge was to clear out all the paranormals from my TBR pile. I found a few more in there last night. Would adding those titles to the list constitute as "changing"?

[Alycia]

Done 2/4

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Mandy, no, you can always add books. That's even more challenging! You go, girl!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Alycia, how was Witches Beauty? I'm reading that this month, too.

YAY! I will update in above thread so they're all together.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Awesome, Mandy! Gotta keep it simple for me! LOL

I haven't read that one yet. I just read book 1, A Mermaid's Kiss. It was good, but slow in some places... I gave it 3 stars. I loved the concept, just hated when it dragged. It was great when it didnt

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oh, ok, sorry! Yeah, I thought it dragged in places, too. It was very... poetic... flowery. I liked it though.

[Alycia]

I liked Hill's writing style in that book.

Thanks for re-posting, Miss Kate! I'm going to track your stats as x/7. Is that ok?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Ooooh, Nissie, I love Midnight Breeds!

[Nissie Lambert]

I do,too,so far. Everyone says they just keep getting better and better!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I agree, they do. Have you tried the BDB yet? I can't remember.

[Nissie Lambert]

No not yet. :( I'm still trying to get them all together and start at the first of the year and read them straight through.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I know what you mean about wanting to be able to read them straight through. I'm dying here waiting for Lover Unleashed in March.

[Nissie Lambert]

I hope I can time it right so I can finish the others around that time. I'm sorry you're having to wait. March can seem like a long time off!

Almost done Dhestiny!!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I'm making progress! I started Pride Mates last night and I love Jennifer Ashley's writing. Do you know, it took me a minute to recognize her name and that I've read something by her before? LOL The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie is one of my all time favorites. Maybe because I think of it as Ian's book, it didn't even click that Jennifer Ashley was the author.

[Alycia]

I really enjoy the Ashley books I have read, not the best IMO but I still enjoy them. I have not read one of her paranormals. I think she writes under another name as well. I believe its on her website.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I think she writes under 2 or 3 names. Or maybe I'm confusing her with another author.

[Alycia]

I think you are right

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Doesn't she write under Allyson James aswell?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Yep, Suzanne, you're right. I just went to her blog and it says:

Welcome to the Website of Author Jennifer Ashley!
Also writing as Allyson James

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Thought so, I really want to read the Allyson James books, even more when I realized that it was Jennifer Ashley as I really liked "The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie"

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Just what I need, another author to glom on to! LOL

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

lol, I know, they keep popping up! Thi site is bad for my bank balance : )

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oh, tell me about it! I'd be in danger of mortgaging the house through the roof and living in my car except that there wouldn't be enough room to hold all the books.
