I'm glad you are liking it. It starts off a bit slow but once in the caves it's an awesome story! :)

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I'm in the caves now..just got there..but really found it fascinating from the beginning...it's all sorta scary to imagine!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I loved The Host, especially after they get into the caves. It was good early on, then it lost me during the desert crossing. I mean, how many ways can you describe a cactus or being thirsty... but after that I was hooked.

[Alycia]

I agree, once inside the caves... WOW!

I'm glad you didn't have a problem in the beginning Bekah, I thought it was really slow before the caves.

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

hmm..well maybe I will feel the same once I continue reading...maybe it will speed up...I just haven't been bored with what I've been reading so far.

[Alycia]

That's good though :)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oh, Dina.... I can't wait for you to read Again the Magic. I loved that book!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

What did you think of The Dom's Dungeon, Dina?

I'm working my way to get there. I have it listed on another challenge, so I have to wait a bit more.

I loved it! 5 stars all the way! Was it you who included this "dish" on the menu? I need to thank the Chef, LOL.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I don't know if it was me or not, but I sure love her books! If you enjoyed that one, I think you'll enjoy the rest. I've reviewed them all so feel free to check them out.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I remember you being a little hesitant about the books, but I really think you'll love them all.

[Dina]

Thanks, UM! I'll definitely check her backlist - and your reviews. Oh boy, do I really need to add more books to my Wish List? Yes, I do! ;)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

LOL! I found the best prices at either booksonboard.com or fictionwise.com

Maybe you won't feel quite so guilty buying them that way :)

[Angela]

That's me Dhes! This could get confusing :)

Thanks for the tip, UM, but I'm not allowed to buy books for a while. Remember, I'm still paying my darned dentist. :(

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Ok, I'm going to list you as Angela #2 since there's already one on there and I want to make sure I get you both credited. I mean, you might be the same person, but I don't want to take chances.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Or had you originally signed up for 3 books, Angela?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oh, drat! That's right!!! Grrrrr.... I'm sorry to hear that! :( But at least you have something to look forward to :)

[Dina]

Oh yes! And it isn't like I don't have anything to read on my TBR, LOL.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

That's very true. I'm in the same boat, but imagine this- I'm not buying any new books unless they're part of a series or a spin-off of a series I'm already following for the entire 2011 year. Imagine that kind of SELF IMPOSED torture!

[Dina]

UM, are you realling going to stick with that resolution? That's going to be hard!!!

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I don't think I could ever do that..especially since buying ebooks is so darned easy!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Dina wrote: "UM, are you realling going to stick with that resolution? That's going to be hard!!!"

I am, Dina. I have over 200 books here at home waiting to be read. I'm out of control and I need to at least give it a shot, ya know?

And all the books I have are good ones, too!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Bekah wrote: "I don't think I could ever do that..especially since buying ebooks is so darned easy!"

I know, I know. Wish me luck!

[Megan]

Whoever recommended , Thank you! I loved it so much. Are her other books as good as this one?

Having good books on the TBR should help you with your resolution. Good luck! :)

[D.G.]

I barely buy any books. I get most of my books through PBS or the library.

Unfortunately, PBS is restricted to US citizens and it's almost impossible to find romance books in English in our libraries. BTW, I live in Brazil.

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I am I am!!!! Wishing you look and hoping I can maybe give it a try too..I'm way way way out of control and maybe I can start out with 3 months..move it up to 6 and so on...

Good Luck Dhes!

Thank you! And that's an excellent idea because the challenge will be flexible in that you can add on, but not take off. SO maybe I should start with 3 months, too.

[Dina]

That would be more doable, UM. :)

[Angela]

Maybe that's where the confusion came in. Yes, I originally signed up with 3 books, but added 3 more I'm dying to knock off my tbr list. Sorry for the mix up. :(

Oh, no worries, Angela!!! I just want to keep things straight :)

I'll fix the participants post now.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I'm going to have to buy it, it was so good. It was the best contemporary romance I have read in a long time.
