That storm is massive!And doesn't it look soft and fluffy from space. LOL.
Wow! That picture is amazing! Ya'll stay safe!
Wow! That satellite image is awesome! Hi Cayman Islands! I see you down in the bottom right corner...we have a date in 26 days, just as soon as I can get out from under this SNOWPOCALYPSE!
Another thing about living where I do--when you live on a dead end street with only 15 houses, in the boondocks, you're low on the totem pole for restoring power when it goes out. That's why we have a generator. I love my little Genny--she's a real peach. ;)
Just make sure the Cayman Islands are still there before you fly. ROFL!!
Oh wow. I never thought about that in terms of priority. The bizarre thing is there is alot of thunder and lightening. Settling down to read.
Yep, there's a priority to it--get the areas with the most people first. Then, when they say how many people are still without power, they have a lower number. When ours goes out with a thunderstorm, it's out for at least 5 hours. We had an 8 hr one and quickly got the genny after that. And that's my other word of the day, after snowpocalypse--thundersnow. It's actually a word. They kept mentioning "thundersnow" on the forecast & I glommed onto it. When it was happening a couple hours ago, the kids & I were singing "Thundersnow!" to the tune of AC/DC's "Thunderstruck". Good times. ;)
Half done with
What a great story so far. Started reading
and
and
is waiting in the wings when done with the others
Read
. As a story, eh, but beautifully written! Finally started Jaz Parks #1. I have a feeling I'll enjoy this series :)
SNOWMAGEDDON! That's another word for you. I suffered from that in December, apparently we were only one more day of heavy snow-fall away from a national emergency. Love thundersnow. Stay safe, peeps :)
Second snow day here! It is crazy. I finished Mind Games by Carolyn Crane and really enjoyed it. I am now reading:
and still trying to read
(it is good, it isn't the book it is me!) and re-reading
by listening to the audio
Monday afternoon we got about 2" of snow followed by lots of freezing rain. Tuesday when I stepped out of the house, it looked so light and fluffy, like you would just be able to sink into it. Then you stepped out on it and didn't even leave a footprint behind, let alone sink into it. It looked like snow, but was actually ice. I told eveyone that it was like a giant snowcone. LOL. Left work early Tuesday and had yesterday off, but had to come in today. Not much happening though, phones are pretty much dead. Luckily, most of the snowfall went to the north of us. We only missed it by about 30 - 50 miles. Local news had people e-mail in nicknames for the storm. Favorite seems to be Snowzilla. Others are Snowtorious B.I.G., Snow.M.G. (it took me a minute but think OMG)Finished:

I'm with Laura-Lulu, in that I prefer her Psy-Changeling series, hence why it took me an extra year to get around to reading this. However, this was pretty stupendous. I was captivated from the moment I picked it up. I did think that the ending was a trifle anti-climatic after the tremendous build up throughout the book about the dangers of Lijuan's court. Looking forward to Consort and will try not to wait a year before picking it up. No promises though, my TBR is out of control. LOL.Currently reading:

The US snowstorm and the Australian cyclone made the news over here. Poor Queensland. Apparently Chicago received 20" of snow overnight! A friend living in Boston, MA said they'd received over 70" since December! That's over 5ft. Taller than me!I'm currently reading
. There's zombie cows!
LOL @Daffodil -Snowzilla, Snowtorious B.I.G. and Snow.M.G. -Love it! I thought the ending to Kiss was anticlimactic too.
I just finished
and OMG... I feel like my brain has glazed over and I have been turned to mush and pulled every which way but I love it. That is what a great book does to you. My first 5 star book this year. Going to continue with the series right away.
is next, then
. After that I will continue my ARC of
from netgalley.
Yes! Another Hunger Games fan!

Yeah, Mother Nature is not a happy camper right now for sure. You guys stay safe. Daffodil, especially, ice is 10x worse than snow. And no eating the yellow snowcones. LOL!
Glad you enjoyed HG, AV! Yay!
Just finished Scent of Shadows, a bit strange, not bad. Off to pick what's next.
Internet is down for some reason. So, no mass bingo updates at the moment. Not something easily done on my iPhone. I'll catch everyone up with stamps and such once its back up.

My copy arrived! WOOHOO! I'm engrossed in "Dreamfever" right this minute, but will be starting "Archangel's Consort" in a bit.
Really jealous now, I got 6 books from BD today and guess which one wasn't among them *sigh*
@ Steph: I tried reading Scent of Shadows once and never made it past the opening scene. It was a library book, so I returned it when it was due without attempting to finish. A lot of people seem to like the books, so I've been thinking about giving it another go.Still reading:
There's just something about this cover art that I love.
I am weak and decided I can't wait and have started
I keep putting off Jaz for other books. Read
which was awesome!!
@Daffodil: I tried Scent of Shadows a while ago and quit it very early on as well. Just not something I enjoyed.I'm currently on
Re-reading
for a challenge and Bones is still yummy!

Vivian, me too actually :)Really hanging out for
WOW! Everyone is reading such great books! Love them all. Bummer, your postman still hasn't delivered AC, Sandra. Maybe s/he's reading it .... LOL! (PS: "Australia" is playing on AFN, made me think of you. :) Ahhhhhh, Hugh Jackman is delectable eye candy! Add the Aussie accent and I'm jello.)
Regina, I'm looking forward to starting that series. I'm assuming since you jumped into #2, you are really enjoying it.
Vivian, me too - putting off Jaz for others. Glad we have a few add'l months on that one. :)
The Scent of Shadows was definitely different. I'll continue onto #2 before deciding if I'll read the whole series or not. Kinda on the edge after #1.
I'm listening to
and have
, which arrived yesterday sitting here calling my name. Hope to crack (figuratively, no spine cracking for me) it open soon.

Accent, what accent?
LOL! Best be bringin' the right one along soon. Definitely!
LMAO!! Must'a been mistaken. ;)
I am enjoyiing the Disillusionist series. It isn't going to be my all time favorite UF series, but I am rating it high bc each book is so much fun (so far). I was explaining the premise to my husband and he thought it was the silliest thing ever. It is such an odd premise, but I am liking it so much.

That's great, Regina. :) LOL @ Hubby.Yay, Inga! Enjoy! Sad to see that series end. But, looking forward to
.
I'm glad they'll be seen in the new series too. :)
Just finished
. So good, I think my fav one so far, very sad in places though :'(Just started
. Really excited about this one!!
I just re-read Lover Awakened by listening to it and I loved it more the second time around. I am temporarily giving up
, I am just not in the right frame of mind and I realy don't like any of the characters. The big surprise/revea didn't excite me. So time to take a break. I hope to come back, I hate to DNF.I am reading
and I am listening to in audio
and I am supposedly also reading this book, but I may set it aside to (I must be in a foul mood or something!):
I'm still reading
, it's not really my kind of humour but I'm still going to finish it.I've read
, a Kindle freebie which involves a character from a previous freebie Catching Caroline. I lurrrrved it! 5 stars. Well worth reading.Also read
, read through the night to finish. The humour may not be to everyone's taste but I had many a laughing fit. I'm impressed with the writing especially of the dialogue. It's not perfect but 5 stars just for making me look like a hysterical mad woman whilst lmao for hours.
LOL! Hope ya find one will be a good fit soon. :)

5 stars too. People be aware that it is a historical, no paranormal content, but definitely funny.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Still, you couldn't really call it a paranormal :)
About 2/3 the way through
the first Eve Silver book I've read and I'd say its good but not great. It's a Sorcerer/Demon type book set in contemporary times but the world doesn't know about the magic.
I've started
and

Finally got through
. I wasn't really feeling it. Because of the challenge, I'll read the next one and hope for the best, but so far, eh.
Steph wrote: "Sandra wrote: "About 2/3 the way through the first Eve Silver book I've read and I'd say its good but not great. It's a Sorcerer/Demon type book set in contemporary ..."Gave it 4 stars, no doubt you'll see the review in your feed. Was tossing up between 3.5 and 4 and decided on 4.
@ Vivian, I started
on 31/1 am about 50% and have read a lot of books since, I must pick it back up but it just isn't exciting me. So I do understand.

My son tried to make off with my light for my kindle in case the lights go out while he is a sleep and I had to stop him. There is a limit to what I will give up for my kids. Kinda kidding. They can have my food and water but I need to be able to read.
