Thanks Betelgeuze.. I always worry that they aren't that good or that I'm repetitious. It's hard coming up with ideas!! But it's all for the greater good. I'm glad people like doing it :)
Just working on my list :)

Still trying to rack my brain and think of what I'll read for my ANTI V-DAY challenge. Lol, all I can think of are short stories/poems by Edgar Allen Poe. ;p Honestly don't know of any romance novels that would fall under that specific challenge, one of being "the opposite of the light and fuzzy holiday. Gory, bloody, and not romantic in the least" as the challenge is described. Of course if one did it'd probably be considered an oxymoron since "romance" novels aren't unromantic though some are gory and bloody. Hmmmm...maybe I'll go with Poe after all, lol ;)
If people are having difficulty with the last part of the challenge (Anti V-day) you can choose not to do it. Or you can stretch the rules a bit. I'm not the challenge police, if you think it fits a little bit, I don't mind.This is all about fun! So go for it.
I'm in! My last one is mostly a joke and I won't technically count it ... but I still think it fits ... lol.2nd in a Series: Bloodfever by Karen Marie Moning
All's Fair in Love and War: Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead
It's Getting Hot in Here: Iron Crowned by Richelle Mead Mmm ... Dorian ...
The Usual Suspects: Archangel's Kiss by Nalini Singh
Tickle me Red and Pink: My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent
The ANTI V-Day: Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy
I'm in. I will do the second in the series. I am going to read
. It is second in the Riley Jenson series. I liked the first book okay so this is a great chance to read the second. I cannot think of anything else right now. Any suggestion?
Jess wrote: "If people are having difficulty with the last part of the challenge (Anti V-day) you can choose not to do it. Or you can stretch the rules a bit. I'm not the challenge police, if you think it fits ..."Lol, no worries, I know you're not a natzi when it comes to the rules. ;) A big part of the fun for me though is trying to follow the rules set and the "challenge" those rules/descriptions may present. The ANTI V-DAY is certainly all that which is why I really want to do it. Lol, call me a gluton for punishment but I love it when I have to work and put forth some effort to meet a challenge. Like I said, it's all a part of the fun for me.
As always great challenge for this holiday, Jess! ;p

I noticed you have Iron Crowned listed for your It's getting hot in here challenge. I love this series! The last I saw on Mead's website the book wasn't due out till March of this year. Did she move the release date up? Is it out yet? Please let me know, if there's a website or something where you can obtain a copy now I'd love to have the name of it. Like I said I love the series and have been waiting forever (or so it seems) for Iron Crowned to be released so I can buy it!
The release date for Iron Crowned is 2/22 - I see the Kindle version is listed with a 3/1 date and I saw that on her site too. I know she's online a lot and she updates, but I don't think her website is accurate. Amazon is pretty good with dates too.
Thanks! Soooo glad to hear it's being released sooner than I thought. Have you heard if this is the final book in the series or if Mead's plans to still add on to the series? While I'd love to find out the end of the story, I hate to see the end of the series. Lol, feel the same way about KMM's Fever series. At least KMM is working on another series set in the Fever world though. ;)
This has been on her website for forever now, although obviously she didn't make it concrete:Georgina Kincaid series - There will be 6 total in the series
Vampire Academy series - There will be 6 total in the series, followed by a spin-off series
Dark Swan series - Unknown at this point! Most likely there will be 4 total
Holy Freakin Cow! Don't know where ya'll r, but here in NE Oklahoma we've got 18 inches of snow & it's still coming down strong! Just got in from feedin the livestock and good grief the wind bout knocked me over. Not easy trying to trudge through snow up to my mid-thighs! (Yeah, I'm short, ;p only 5'1). So, needless to say, I'm snowed in for the week and we've another storm (this one's an ice storm comin) headin our way Mon...sure am missin that 70 degree weather right now...shoot fire, I'll even settle for 50 degree weather right now! Ya'll be safe if weather's bad where ya'll are at too.
Okay folks, feel free to start reading for the challenge because it's February!! :)
