October's Build Your Own Challenge - PNR Edition

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

LOL you could always get a trailer (or three) and add that on to the car! Or try and hide out at he library.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

LOL!!! I like the trailer idea, but I'm not willing to share my books and I can just imagine people confusing MY books for library books. Blood will be spilled.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Haha, some kind of security system, involving barbed wire and a strong electrical current will probably be in order aswell them, that shoudl keep the riffraff off your books. LOL I have an image of you doing a Gollum with your books *clutches book and strokes spin "my precious" glares menacingly at passersby*

[Nissie Lambert]

LOL Suzanne, I had the same image!

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Lol, I am glad I am not alone, although I think I woudl do the same, I am a tad possessive of my books!

[Nissie Lambert]

Me,too! My books are very "precious" to me!

There is a Gollum inside me that the rational side of me has to beat down with a stick every time someone asks to borrow one of my books.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

LOL!!! I know the feeling!

October's Build Your Own Challenge - PNR Edition

I chose:
Begin a new paranormal series and read x number of books ~ The Nightwalkers Series by Jacquelyn Frank

4/4 ~ FINISHED!

1. Jacob
2. Gideon
3. Elijah
4. Damien (Finished this one just in time to add!)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I really liked that series, Lori. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

My only problem was the exotic milk. That grossed me out. LOL

[Nissie Lambert]

Okay, UM. I'm I've got a few of these and I'm going to have to ask you to explain this exotic milk before I can even think about beginning them lol!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

It's like how some people drink wine or champagne. The Nightwalkers drink exotic milk. That grossed me out. There was nothing actually disgusting about it, but I always think of phlegm when I think milk. So, drinking milk as if it were wine, then kissing... ewwww. LOL

And by the 3rd book, she'd really toned that down. There was little if any mention of it.

[Nissie Lambert]

Oh okay. That would make me sick too. I HATE milk!! And I wouldn't kiss anyone drinking it unless they brushed their teeth and gargled with mouthwash first lol!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

LOL!!!! And i LOVE milk, but not kissing anyone while drinking it. But it's not a huge part of the books. Otherwise, I really liked them.

[Nissie Lambert]

Okay that's good to know. It will be a while yet before I start them, but I'm glad I don't have to throw them out lol!

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

What exactly is it about the milk that makes it exotic?! What a very odd idea! I have the first one on my shelf ready to read, the milk thing has actually made me want to read it as I wanna see what you mean lol!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Suzanne, the milk is like... Zebra milk or things like that. I think they're really good stories but I was glad when the milk references stopped. LOL

What a strange thing to be bothered by, true? LOL

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

LOL I now have these images of these really ancient powerful beings, sat round looking very important with their tumblers of milk and plate of cookies, and they all have milk moustaches LOL!

LOL I can how it could be bothersome, but it has really encouraged me to start reading them soon! I am going to have to work "Jacob" into a challenge or two!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Imagine these men sitting around, discussing the fate of their race, over glasses of milk. LOL

Ok, so anyway - I hope you love them and I can't wait to hear what you think.

Maybe find a way to squeeze them into November's challenges (which are posted now, by the way)

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

LOL, I will have to read and post a review with a note about the milk : ) (bet they all have very healthy bones!)

Oh, more challenges! I can't resist challenges, going to have to have a glimpse!

LOL you ladies had me cracking up! I finished Gideon and loved it more than Jacob (feel free to read my review..I tried omitting spoilers). I think it's only the Demons that drink the milk in this series...it's an original idea you gotta give the author credit for that! I'm excited about starting the next one...I thought all the books were going to focus on the demons and then I saw Damien has a book as well...can't wait to read that one!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I don't remember if Jacob and Gideon are demons, but I know for sure they (or others of their race) were drinking milk.

[Lori {Romancing the Dark Side}]

Yeah they are demons...Jacob, Gideon, Elijah and Noah..Damien is a vampire.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Ok, thanks! It's been so long since I read them that I wasn't sure what "race" they were.
