Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments @Regina, it wasn't a bad start to the series. There were duplicate lines throughout which bugged me. Definitely the darker side, which I like.

@Jackie, I really like that series. Hope you enjoy it!

@Sandra, my vote is for menage. Boo on triangle. ;)

Sandra | 25908 comments Just finished Drinking Death (Blood Princess Chronicles, #1) by Mara Lee and while it's not spelled out, it's looking like a menage. Yay!

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments Okay that makes me want to read it.

Mafi | 63 comments I'm reading Sins of the Night (Dark-Hunter, #7) by Sherrilyn Kenyon by Sherrilyn Kenyon


message 1205: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Mafalda, you're flying thru that series. I take it you're enjoying it? Do you prefer to read a series in full before moving onto a new one?


message 1206: by Kerstin (new)

Kerstin | 862 comments I finished The Dark Mirror (The Bridei Chronicles, #1) by Juliet Marillier and really enjoyed it and started on The Tale of the Vampire Bride by Rhiannon Frater


message 1207: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments I'm slowly but surely makin' my way through Ascension (Dark Breed, #1) by Sable Grace . I'm really enjoying it, but damn, it feels like it's takin' me forever to read it. LOL!

And just about done w/audiobook Dead Reckoning A True Blood Novel by Charlaine Harris . Ok, but not blown away at all. :\


message 1208: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments I so agree Steph. What a disappointment!


message 1209: by Josie (new)

Josie | 1967 comments I just finished The Ask and the Answer (Chaos Walking, #2) by Patrick Ness . Very emotional. (view spoiler) Going to read the final of the trilogy (Monsters of Men) very soon, excited to see how this all ends!

Yeah, I'm bummed. Oh well. Maybe it's a good thing she's planning on stopping the series soon.


message 1211: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments I think she is clearly done. :( I am just sad about what she did to my favorite characters.

So I am listing to Unwind (Unwind, #1) by Neal Shusterman and reading Hard Bitten (Chicagoland Vampires, #4) by Chloe Neill A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire, #2) by George R.R. Martin

I am also readin and listening to some non fiction which is helping me get back in the mood for more UF. Oh I also just read the shorts
The Abandoned (The Graveyard Queen, #0.5) by Amanda Stevens The Golem Hunt by Jennifer Rardin

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments GTK, Sandra. I need to read it soon!

I just started Hunters & Prey (Immortalis, #2) by Katie Salidas and First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson, #1) by Darynda Jones . First Grave is really good. I like Charlie.

Sandra | 25908 comments Glad you're liking First Grave, my copy isn't published till 7th June, so not long to wait now.

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Guess what was in my mailbox?!?! Magic Slays! Yay! So, I may put those two to the side and read it.

Ha! She got you there, Steph! ;-)

Amazon told me Saturday my copy was shipped. If it comes today, I'll have to restrain myself two days!

Good to hear about First Grave. I'm waiting for the paperback.

Lis | 4037 comments Lucky gals! I will be heading to the bookstore tommorrow to get my copy of Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5) by Ilona Andrews ...

Did finish a couple of challenge reads this weekend, Dark Magic (Magic Series, #5) by Cheyenne McCray which took me forever... and finally got to Mercy Burns (Myth and Magic, #2) by Keri Arthur which was OK, but had a nice little sneak peek at Darkness Unbound in the back...


message 1225: by Kerstin (new)

Kerstin | 862 comments I finished The Tale of the Vampire Bride by Rhiannon Frater which was really good, at least once I got through all the abuse she had to go through.
I will be starting Proven Guilty (The Dresden Files, #8) by Jim Butcher next, as unfortunately my copy of Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5) by Ilona Andrews hasn't arrived yet :(


message 1226: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments LOL! I do have it in challenges, but don't think any of them start in June. Nice try. ;) I've decided to finish First Grave before starting it though. I'm sure you'll have yours too by then.

Happy release day!! I should be able to download my copy of KoS late tonight. I'm not sure what time they rls ebooks. These are the first I've ever preordered. Would've been nice if I could grab them today, since it's 5/31 here already.


message 1227: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Damn, I was sure you'd of put it in June challenges!!!

*what other delaying tactics can I use.... Hmmm ...*


message 1228: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments A buddy read? :)


message 1229: by [deleted user] (new)

Just finished Hounded (Iron Druid Chronicles, #1) by Kevin Hearne and Blood Engines (Marla Mason, #1) by T.A. Pratt . Hounded was really good, a really fun read, and Blood Engines was mind-blowingly terrific.

@Steph: squee!!!! KoS!!!!

Don't forget we've got WYA for June ^-^

What else were you thinking of reading for it? I'll have a look around your tbr after dinner :D


message 1231: by Steph, Serious series addict (last edited May 31, 2011 02:52AM) (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Ok, I need to vent. I'm extremely frustrated with Diesel eBook Store right now. They are holding my books hostage. I checked to see if they were available and YAY, they are! So, I click download and what's this? I have to enter a phone number that I can be reached at "this very moment". Supposedly, I'll receive an immediate call with a 4-digit code I have to enter (one-time thing only to protect from credit card fraud). So, I enter my number and wait and wait and wait and wait ...... you get the picture. NO FRICKIN' CALL! :( Gimme my bloody books! Son of a bleep bleep bleep bleep!! Waaaaaaaaaahhhhh! ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

ETA: Their site says, "Just this once, we will now obtain your immediate approval via an automated telephone call. The process is instant and easy as follows"

Notice the bold parts. Well, I call BS Mama!

Nah, I was just throwing that out there as a funny to your "*what other delaying tactics can I use.... Hmmm ...*" post. ;)

And, I had forgotten about June's read-a-thon, but I'm still in! Just need to pick a coupl'a days that'll work for both of us. Doing over three days again?


message 1233: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments I GOT 'UM! Woohoo! Seems pity party Ambassador took pity on me. LOL! I entered my international number and BINGO ... immediate phone call. Go figure! :D


message 1234: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Now I didn't really expect you to wait to read KoS or MS, just really reminding you of the read-a-thon. Which it sounds like it was good I did. LOL.

Hooray, You Got Them! Just rub it in again!


message 1235: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments LOL! It was good you did remind me 'cuz I'd forgotten already.

Only a teeny tiny bit sorry ... LOL! ;)

Sandra | 25908 comments Jealous *humphs* still waiting on MS & KoS.

Did just finish Big Bad Beast (Pride, #6) by Shelly Laurenston Dee-Ann Smiths story. Better than I thought it would be as she's not a fav of mine. Still 4 stars.

Why are we so unlucky, Sandra?


message 1245: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Well, you could say its because we didn't buy the ebook versions. I do like a paper copy for keeper books. :D

Sandra, when did you say KoS is available for you over in Oz? Surely the paperback must be released over there if I can get it here?


message 1247: by Vivian (new)

Vivian (_vivian) | 1934 comments Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5) by Ilona Andrews made me a happy girl. I may feel a little sleep-deprived tomorrow but well worth it :)

And no, not purposefully rubbing it in to all those waiting for Mr. Mailman but there are good things in store :)
