If/when you read [book:Kiss at Your Own Risk|8062210], I'd love to hear what you think of it. I'm anxious to read that one.
@Lethal, I have Glimmerglass set aside for one of my challenges. Looks like I'll be hunting for another fae book. I'm not a fan already, so I definitely don't wanna read on that might turn me off them any more. Hope you enjoy Pack Challenge, I recently read it and really liked it.@Inga, my vote is for Desire Unchained. I miss that series. Hope enjoy whichever you choose to read.
I'm currently reading
and lovin' it. Hope to finish it tonight.
@ Steph: Thank you. I'm enjoying PC for the most part. It's taking me awhile to get used to the vulgarity & potty humor. Glad to know you're lovin' Dark Embers. I want to read it so bad but I've heard so many mixed opinions about it. Not to mention, I am far from thrilled at the price of this sucker. Maybe they'll release it in mmpb, like they plan on doing with Blood Song. *crosses fingers*
@Inga, yay! Hope it doesn't let ya down. I just loved that series. @Lethal, PC does get wild, but that's part of what I enjoyed. Dark Embers had some hot, hot scenes. It's classified as an erotic PNR, good story too though. I've got to write about 15 reviews, but will post more about that one here eventually.
2 stars for Dead Until Dark, not sure about going on with the series.I've just started Moon Called, last book in my cover hunt challenge.
BTW, I'm really happy to have joined, I've learned a lot of new series I'd never heard of. It's a bit difficult to get this type of books here in Spain, so most of them I just didn't know about. But as I say, thanks to you I'm getting into more and more series which are really wonderful :)
Sorry you didn't care for Sookie, but glad you're enjoying Mercy. So glad you're finding some good series. Yay! That makes me :D
I just started
and I'm really enjoying it so far.

Glad you're liking PC too Lethal, and I so agree with you on the price of Dark Embers. That's why I keep puttin it off. Even on BD it costs big time.
I really enjoyed this. It was more than just a standard PNR. It was post-apocalyptic and set in the future so there was proper world-building and everything. LOL!
@Sandra, this is your sort of thing so I will be patiently waiting for you to read this. I want to know what you think. But you want to read it now right? *hypnotic gaze*
Josie wrote: "Oh dear, doesn't sound like my thing at all. I've tried Jenna Black's other series and I didn't like that mainly because the protagonist really annoyed me. I'll put this down the bottom of the TBR ..."I read Hex Hall and Glimmerglass around the same time and Hex Hall was light years better, IMHO. I'm excited about the next Hex Hall book, which comes out in a couple months, I think. Plus, I put it into a challenge thinking it was already out and am too lazy to change it :)

I've already got it on the tbr with recommended by Ames. LOL. And it does sound exactly like what I enjoy, as was your review too. *oh no, getting dizzy, must be that hynoptic gaze*
@Sandra, LOL! Yay! And thanks, about the review. The author "liked" it as well. It always surprises me when that happens.
Excellent, at least you know the author is interested. Maybe she'll heed the plea for the sequel and write faster. LOL.
Me too!
I just finished an ARC of Pack of Lies (Book #2 in the Paranormal Investigation Scene series) I have a bunch of non PNR/UF books I have to tackle but the next one should be an ARC of American Vampire
@Ames, that sounds like a good one. I'll hunt for it myself. :)I finished
and loved it. I am trying to start
, but keep getting sidetracked by life. LOL!
@Vivian: Oooh, I'm excited about
too. I thought Hex Hall was excellent. Great plot, not too long and a protagonist that was actually interesting. For me this is what a YA book should be like!Since then I've read
. Even though I'm not a huge PNR fan and still giggle at the brother's names, I couldn't stop reading this. It was a complete (guilty) addiction and I loved it. So, yeah, surprised myself anyway. Bring on the rest of the bunch ;)
Sandra wrote: "Excellent, at least you know the author is interested. Maybe she'll heed the plea for the sequel and write faster. LOL."Apparently the sequel has all ready been written and submitted! Yay!
Fantastic news Ames!!!!Just finished
and I agree Judithe, this is one of the best anthologies I've read for a while.
Oh good, I'm glad to hear that. I'm about ready to give up on the mystery I'm reading (Delicious and Suspicious,
) and start on
.I'm not sure what it is, but I just can't quite connect with the characters in D&S. I'll probably set it aside and come back to it later.
I agree with Steph, go wit Slave to Sensation. But I haven't read the others.I am reading:
4 stars to
3 stars to
and
Now enough with the chick lit romance stuff, currently and upcoming:
, and yes, still trekking through
(I'm afraid to finish it and be disappointed),
,
NetGalley gave me
. I'm gonna read it tomorrow. If they gave it to me in Kindle format, I would've read through the night but alas, I have to read it on my laptop.
Just finished
5 stars, it made me cry, in a good way. LOL.Just about to start

They rej'd my request. Second time now and I'm gettin' bummed. Really wanted that one. I just know if I had a blog they'd loan it to me to review. Oh well. :P***
Enjoy it for the both of us, Ames! Interested to hear what ya think of it.
I'm trying to start
, but once again life is gettin' in the way.
Well, I was gonna start
but in a fit of insanity I picked up
to have a look and started reading. LOL.
4 stars to Moon Called, 'm reconsidering the 5 stars though... I loved it!I don't know what to start on: Blood Bound, Succubus Dreams, Beautiful Darkness or The Hunger Games
Go Blood Bound CyberAlmu!!

Blood Bound is great, but so is Hunger Games, that's a tough choice...
Just read
and if all the books are like this, may become one of my fav series, loved it!
I loved that one too, Vivian. Didn't like #2 quite as much, but still enjoyed it. Started audiobook version of #3 today and not happy with the narrator. May switch to PB v.Glad you enjoyed it too! It's a new favorite for a bunch of us. :)
Thanks for the recs, I already finished Blood Bound, it was awesome. I'm so in love with Adam... I'll read The Hunger Games next and ask for more wise advise when I'm done :)
I is-a reading
&
.Mistwood because it fits into 2 challenges this month & because I enjoy tweenage angst upon occasion...as long as it's not "I will like totally DIE if he doesn't kiss me. I will slit my wrists & he will drown in my bloody tears" tween angst. I'm too much of a bitch to sympathize with that kind of pain.
Branded As Trouble because I need dirty cowboy smut to balance out the tweenage angst. Plus Colt? Utterly hot. I would rape him if he came to my town.
LMAO!! Look forward to hearing how heavy on the angst Mistwood is, I'd like to eventually check it out if it's not too bad. And, gotta love the hot smut. Certainly helps restore the proper balance. Good choices! :)

YAY! Glad you enjoyed BB and hope you enjoy HG as well!
@Steph, I can't believe they rejected your request for Pale Demon! I wonder what their acceptance criteria is. I don't have a blog just a GR account. Weird. Anyway, I finished it and now I want Trent and Rachel to be together but Harrison has stated that they won't become an item. I'm incredibly disappointed :(
I don't know either. I've read & reviewed everything they've given me. :( Oh well. I've had two rejects in a row. Glad you liked it. Yeah, I heard that too. :P to that!
I had a couple of rejects as well. One of them was Angelfire. I can't remember what the other was. I think once you've read and reviewed for a specific publisher they get added to the "My Community" section, I think that means they'll accept a request from you in future. It's just getting them to accept in the first place.
If you do book reviews on youtube can you get accepted for NetGalley? I know some youtube reviewers get advanced readers copies in the mail.
Angelfire was one of my rejects too. Huh, interesting. I'll keep tryin' for others. Maybe they'll allow me into the cool kids club soon. LOL!I'm going to start my Bingo 'wishlist' shelf read
soon.

I'm currently reading Comfort Food, which is really different, but good. It definitely managed to capture my attention. Then I've also started The Hunger Games, which has been really hard to get into so far. I'm hanging in there though!
I'm currently reading
and found that it reads like the Hunger Games, especially the main character. I'm enjoying it though.
I signed up for NetGalley. I am going to try posting YouTube reviews and linking them on my blog and see if that works. I requested 4 books. We will see!
Rebecca - I was gonna say opposite of you, but wrong Comfort Food, oops. But HG, hope it gets better for you!Wan - I think you'll find Poison Study pretty popular here, I read it because this group was RAVING about it. Have the spin-off, Storm Glass, from the library so hope I get to it soon :)
Steph - new 'bingo' shelf?? I'm 'bout as excited as a kid on christmas! woohoo, time to choose a new book!

Josie, I'm relieved to know the protagonist in Hex Hall isn't boy crazy. It's on my TBR but for some reason, I keep putting off reading it.
Vivian, I agree...somewhat. The book could've used a better editor & been cut in half, but I don't think it would've improved Glimmerglass. Okay, maybe it would've. Shorter is always better when reading novels this painful.
