Me and My Ghoulfriends by Rose Pressey.
Sounds like it's going to be a fun read!

So I got Dead Reckoning in the mail bright and early on Tuesday, read it cover to cover in a day or so and have been processing. I know it's not really young adult but if anyone else has read it I would love to get your thoughts.
I can't help but feel that Charlaine Harris is leading up to Sookie ending up with Sam. The last few books Sookie has just been so fed up with the politics of the Supes and it has come between her and Eric. I've thought all along since book 4 that Sookie would end up with Eric, but recently they don't seem to be having much fun together. I like Sam, but just in a platonic friend kind of way. i can't help but think as a reader I would be disappointed if Sookie walks away from Eric (and from the Supes in general for that matter) Something major has to happen though for their relationship to recover.
Also, what is up with the fairy sub-plot? I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop with that situation. It's got to be something with the Cluviel Dor? I wondered as soon as it was introduced if Sookie is going to ultimately wish away Eric's Vampireness so they can just be together? Thoughts?

Even though it has "spoiler alert" all over it, I couldn't look away! :) I can't wait to read Dead Reckoning...I'm 19th on the hold list at the library though so it'll be awhile

38! Wow! When I saw it was on order and placed my hold I told my friend and she said "Yah, I know. I already did it, I'm like 7 or something." I was was like "Ugh! Why didn't you tell me?"

I also can't wait to read it. I love Eric, so much. He's my favorite, but I've always thought she should end up with Sam in the end. Something about them just seemed solid and she could have a real future and family with him.
I've heard rumors that we have yet to meet the Man that is supposed to be Sookie's Happily Ever After. And I guess Harris has said that Sookie was never meant to be with Eric forever.
As much as I love them together, I can see why. With Sookie not wanting to be a vamp (thank goodness!) they don't have much of a future.

Ooh! I hadn't heard the rumor about not having met the Man Sookie ends up with. That's intriguing. I wonder if he will have some kind of fairy connection... there have been little hints in the recent books about those with fae blood needing to be close to others of their own kind.
I guess what has been driving me crazy is that deep down i know she's not going to end up with Eric, and as much as I like Sam I just don't think he's for her... I'll just have to wait and see... how long till the next book comes out ? ;)

Well I think book 10 came out in June last year, so unfortunately I'm guessing 11-12 months... a long time. I can't wait to order the new book and read it. I still don't have it.

Yay! I've been wanting to get to it for awhile





Am quite relieved, having been starved of books for nearly a week! D:





Am ..."
yay for













That's awesome!



Sweet! I liked both the Princess books and of course North of Beautiful which I pimp out all the time!



That's great! I read Heist Society over the weekend, and it was a fun book!




I just finished

Thanks. I've been wanting to read it for a while now but I've read a lot of mixed reviews so I wasn't sure. But yea, I finally decided to buy book 1 to see if I like it.


Thinking of attempting to find [bookcover:Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" ..."
It certainly is in this group! There are a lot of Bloody Jack fans here, which is why I just bought the first one myself. Haven't read it yet, but looking forward to it :)

I picked up












I loved Song of the Sparrow! I hope you enjoy it!
