TEAM THREAD: Team #5 Furious Five

[Vivian]

Glad everyone's enjoying their reads! Yay for another stamp :)

[AmandaG]

Yes Yay! Aiming for that BINGO!

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Im going to have to pick shorter books in order to catch up to everyone - I finished Burned by P.C. Cast 4*s for me, which was the last book in the series to be released until today when the new one came out - but I love this series..this one picked up pretty much where Tempted ended so I liked that...I didnt have to try & remember what happened in the last book. I am anxious to read Awakened now because I am just dying to know what happens now. This has been a great series.

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Congratulations on our receiving another Bingo stamp!!! Way to go - still planning to finish my read for #6 - just have been busy with family during the Holidays - plan to sit down here shortly in my comfy chair & read some more...

Finished Challenge #7 PARANORMAL
Taken by Midnight 4 stars read 1/7/2011

I really enjoyed Brock and Jenna. It was hard for me to put this book down, it was so good.I thought that Jenna dealt with what she is going through very well and it's great that she was able to see that it's okay for her to be happy. I can't wait for the next book to come out so I can learn more about what is happening to Jenna.

[AmandaG]

Finished my #7 UF-PARANORMAL read Bayou Moon on 1/5/11 5*.

I didn't feel any parts of this book lagged. It was well paced. I loved William and Ceriese. Their banter was great. Ilona Andrews gives character history in such a way that it doesn't feel overwhelming or boring. If that makes any sense. I liked the side characters too. The female leads in Andrews' books are always great and strong and the heroes are great too. Definitely my favorite author I found in 2010.

Congratulations on our completing another square on our Bingo board...cant wait to see what the next draw will be

[Vivian]

Go us for completing all our squares!! We're getting closer to that bingo :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Our next shelf will be announced this weekend! :)

[Vivian]

Is it sad I was hoping the shelf was being announced early? Not that I need another book to read, but I can't seem to decide what I want to read next and thought a new shelf would help :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

It's a comin' ... soon! :)

[AmandaG]

Yeah, I have a book I'm waiting to read hoping it'll satisfy the next shelf.

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Im sitting on the edge of my seat with anticipation of the next shelf announcement. LOL

[Vivian]

Hehe, now I don't feel like such a dork :D

[Steph, Serious series addict]

OUR NEXT SHELF IS ..... 'wishlist'
DIRECT LINK: 'wishlist'

NOTE: This shelf is a doozy! It holds 100,000 books. Remember: Instead of flipping through every page of the shelf listing to find a book, you can check your books for the shelf. This thread explains how to do that search, if you need help, just holler. :)


Happy Reading, Everyone!!

[AmandaG]

Yay new shelf! Now I just have to go find a book!

[AmandaG]

Well I've been wanting to read Demon from the Dark by Kresley Cole and just got it from the library and it is on the wishlist shelf! Thanks Steph for posting the easy way to search if a book is on a shelf or not!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

You're welcome, Amanda! Yay! Glad you were able to find one you've been waiting to read - at the library and on the list. Enjoy!

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

I'm going with The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong...plan to start today after I finish the book Im reading now....now I will have motivation to finish my reading so I can get started on this book....I just bought it yesterday for my Kindle because I couldnt find it at the bookstore.

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

WISHLIST shelf books:

Amanda: Demon from the Dark
Sallie: The Awakening
Jackie: Awakened
Vivian: Storm Glass
Shelleyrae: Crescendo

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Thanks Steph for the tip it really came in handy

[Steph, Serious series addict]

You're welcome, I'm glad. Hope you enjoy your book!

[Vivian]

Oh gosh, so exciting! I'll do some looking and post later :)

[Jackie M]

For the Wishlist Challenge I am going to read Awakened by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast.

[AmandaG]

You know, Immortal After Dark series all have similar titles/names that I got confused and didn't realize I'd already read the book until I cracked it open and read a few lines. Grrr... This is the sort of thing Goodreads is supposed to prevent! Now I am sitting at the Dr office wasting perfectly good reading time.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! Poor thing, Amanda! That stinks! Those titles are similar, easy mistake to make. Hope you don't have to wait too long for your appt and can grab the next one soon. :)

Oi, that series! I have such a love/hate relationship with that one. Looking forward to your review, Jackie. I'll be gettin' to that one here shortly.

[Shelleyrae]

I'm going with Crescendo because I keep putting it off LOL - now I have two reasons to read it :)

[Vivian]

I think I'm going with Storm Glass, I borrowed it from the library almost 2 weeks ago and it's sitting there neglected, so this should motivate me!

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

WISHLIST shelf books:

Amanda: Demon from the Dark
Sallie: The Awakening
Jackie: Awakened
Vivian: Storm Glass
Shelleyrae: Crescendo


Amanda - I'll change your book just let me know what title to change it to when you can....

Ok Ladies that's it for now...I am about 65% finished with my read for this shelf...I cant put the thing down but I am having to force myself to be good since I cant work & read the Kindle at the same time LOL

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

WISHLIST shelf books:

Amanda: Shadowfever COMPLETED
Sallie: The Awakening COMPLETED
Jackie: Awakened
Vivian: Storm Glass
Shelleyrae: Crescendo

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

I finished The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong 4*s for me..this has been an excellent story thus far. This was the 2nd book in the Darkest Powers series. I am so caught up in this book that I have a hard time putting them down once I get started reading. Book 2 picked right up where Book 1 left off & so I was glad that it didnt jump around like some books with trying to find a starting point. Definitely plan to find Book 3 at some point.

[AmandaG]

Since it came out today I'm changing my wishlist book to Shadowfever. I'm so freaking excited it is finally out!

[Jackie M]

Amanda I am looking forward to reading Shadowfever! I just have to wait for it to come in the mail.

[AmandaG]

I picked it up during lunch. Just got to chapter 5. I need to stay away from her FB page because while they aren't really spoilers, people are posting chapter numbers and how awesome they are and such.

[Vivian]

That's definitely one to read this week! Maybe I'll make that my...no, Storm Glass, library book. The cliffhanger can wait a little longer :)

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

I have Shadowfever as a must read for 2011 just waiting for my copy to arrive also....Lucky you Miss Amanda. I look forward to reading your review after I have read the book of course. :)

[AmandaG]

So I read like a crazy mad woman and have finished Shadowfever. 5 Stars! It was worth the wait. 1/18-1/19/11

So many ups and downs in this story. So many questions are answered, so many things you didn't see coming, revealed. The book is huge at 570 some odd pages, but I still am astounded at how much KMM was able to put in this book. Starts off right where Dreamfever left off. I feel like I can't even write a good review without spoiling something. There was one thing I picked up right from the beginning about who one of the characters is. I don't want to say because I don't want to give it away. Not even who the character is.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! Glad you liked it, AmandaG! Also very glad to hear that you felt it was full of fever goodness. You never know sometimes.

[Vivian]

Glad you liked it! Can't wait to read it and get all those questions answered :)

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Amanda glad to hear you liked the book. Cant wait to read it myself just so I can find out what surprises are in store.

[Shelleyrae]
