At the moment I'm reading The Great Hunt and also Catching Fire on my Kindle. They are both really quite good, though the Robert Jordan is taking up much of my attention at the moment!

I'm not one for these either, I tend to avoid them like the plague but the subject intrigued me and with so many of my friends reading it I had to as well. It was brilliant. I'll never forget it. Totally worth the floods of tears and the near-addiction to HEAs for a few weeks afterwards.

Regina, I feel the same about Lady of Light and Shadows. I loved the first book in the series, but somehow I just can't get myself to start on #2.

I finally found it at abebooks.com, which seems to be a sort of Amazon Marketplace, with a bunch of sellers offering it. And of course, the cheapest is from Book Depository. They claim--through abebooks.com--that they have 9 in stock. Then why does your main site say it's out of stock? So I'm nervous to buy that one.
But I will get this book, dammit. It seems that since the publisher decided to release it in the US in hardcover in June, they are trying really hard to keep it out of US hands until then.





I also read a sample of




Love the Ender's Game books. You should read the Bean spin-off too! Starts with Ender's Shadow. Really excellent stuff :)

How'd you like the prequel, Ames. I grabbed that freebie too. I was thinking of starting that series this year and was happy to spot the prequel before I start it.

I'm taking a little break from Catching Fire, since I've come to a point were I'd rather not read than continue (mood reader. (view spoiler) ), and have started Skin Trade. I will finish it however, I just have to read something else for a little while!

Bummer, I'm still waiting on my copy to arrive. Hurray up Mr Postman!

Earlier I read


I thought that about CF at first until the Game started. It was completely different, far more complicated and hazardous than in the first book.

Er...I haven't written a review. LMAO! I did "like" Michelle's review though so maybe you read that. It said everything I would want to say about it.

Bummer, I'm still waiting on my copy to arrive. Hurray up Mr Postman!"
It's worth the wait. I loved Fallon and Isabella. And the beginning of a new trilogy? Oh, yes.

Well that's good to hear! I will not give it up in any case.

Glad to hear that Sandra, looking forward to it, as always :)


I'm starting my reread of Dreamfever tomorrow, to get me in the right frame of mind for Shadowfever. :)

I'm starting my Fever re-read (audiobook) this week, preppin' too. :)

I loved WDoaWN! Bowen. Yum. But not as yum as my boyfriend, Cadeon. *Lethal swoons*

Oh yes, Bowen... He could throw me over his shoulder caveman-style any day to whisk me away, lol!
Seems like I have to hurry up and get to Cadeons book then, to check out your boyfriend ;)





And work for me and school for the kids is cancelled tomorrow as supposedly the blizzard of the century pounds down on us! So I hope I will have some reading time.



Too funny, Ames. Gotta love it when that happens though. :)

SNOWPOCALYPSE!!!
I can't tell how much snow is coming down because the wind is so insane, I don't know if the snow blowing is new, or the stuff that was on the ground. It is so crazy windy here, but that's what I get for living in the middle of a corn field. ;) How's it by you guys?



Yeah, how about that? Our Blizzard of 2011, aka The Groundhog Dump, is international, baby.
Our power hasn't gone completely out yet, it just keeps dimming & flashing & graying out every few minutes for the last 2 hours. I was cooking dinner and every time it happened, the oven would turn off and I'd have to get off my lazy butt and go turn it back on again. Annoying.
It is always windy by us--so when it's windy for everyone else, it's crazy here. If you look out at my front yard, you can still see the grass through the snow. Then if you look out a side window, there are 2 foot drifts against my porch. And if you look out the back, there are huge drifts and little snow tornados on my back patio. It's like the wind is coming from 3 different directions. And the big snow is supposedly just starting--7pm thru 3am. I do believe this is gonna be a doozy. ;)

Me too! I actually went as far as borrowing the first one from the library once but I didn't get to it. I'll try again one day. I always love me a good UF series :)
