Thanks...but now I have to wait like everyone else for the next LOTU to come out and the Shifters series is over.
*sigh* I need more books to read :)

[Lisa M]

I may have to replace or abandon one of my series. I'm really struggling on the second book of the Sirantha Jax series. If it doesn't pick up soon, I'm not sure I want to read the rest. :-/

How did you like the Shifter series? I'm stuck on the seond one at the moment and wondering when I'm going to love this series like everyone else... :'(

I really enjoyed the series (loved Marc and Jace) however I too heard from a lot of people that it was hard to get into. That being said I went into the series with very little expectations and ended up loving it. Faythe totally annoyed me through the first 2 with her immaturity...but I think once you pass those and into the third you should enjoy it. Happy reading and I hope you can enjoy the rest!

Lisa, I think that one has gotten real good. I recently finished Killbox #4 and loved it. Maybe it'll pick up for you? If not, lots of others out there TBR.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Amanda, I'm anxious for the next LoTU too. :)

Dana, re: Chronicles of Narnia

There are 2 series listed under C.S. Lewis's author page, one is chronological the other is publication order, so pick which one you want to read and its already figured out for you :)

Chronological Order OR Publication Order

Are we just updating our first post or a new post each update?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I've just been updating my original and will probably repost in full once I've finished this bad boy. But, whatever works for you is fine with me. :)

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

Ok cool
I like updating my original

[Steph, Serious series addict]

That'll work :)

[Zakiya]

Haven't read any of mine since The Dead Girls' Dance (post 132) but hopefully I'll get some done in July/August! :D

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Sounds good, Zakiya! I've still got a ways to go with both of mine.
