Whoever hasn't read Anna and the French Kiss is missing out. I have about the last quarter of the book left and I am now slow reading because I don't want to finish.

Jen :) they're all good and the one you're reading right know is a mayor cliffhanger! ;) !
Finished
on audio this weekend and it was delightful. Love that narrator!Started
and so far I'm not digging it as much as the previous books. I guess you could say there are a few things going on that just aren't my thing...

I was not a big fan of Lover Mine either Kourtni - book 7 was just so awesome, that that one was kind of a let down afterwards IMO. I also thought John deserved a nice sweet vamp girl - not Xhex.
So interesting because I loved how John made me see a different side of Xhex. I liked it alot, not as much as some of the others, but still a solid 4+ stars for me.
Wendy F wrote: "So interesting because I loved how John made me see a different side of Xhex. I liked it alot, not as much as some of the others, but still a solid 4+ stars for me."I did not like Xhex. Sorry! I also hated the whole ghost story. Lash was the best part of the whole book IMO.
Once I picture a character a certain way through a few books its hard to change my mind. I can't get rid of the image of Xhex as a big burly woman with a steroid problem. Oh, and I can't get down with the Quinn and Blay situation if it were to become a situation.
I didn't like Xhex UNTIL John's book. Then I learned to like her more because we saw a different side of her.I did hate the whole ghost story.
Lash was good, but I'm all about anything that has to do with Qhuinn and Blay. I've never read a m/m book, but I love those two. Qhuinn especially.

Don't even get me started on that whole gay triangle thing!
Yes, I think he deserved at least a more feminine woman/vamp. *********Spoiler*******
It's a triangle?!? No! I guess I need to finish the book up. I most likely wont be reading the next one. :/ Okay...I might. I have a serious BDB addiction.
Sorry Wendy, you are a softy and are outnumbered here! I am not even caring about book 9 - it doesn't even sound good to me! Sorry if I spoiled the surprise on the love triangle thing Kourtni - I thought you were farther along.
Nothing too serious happens, hahaha. Ward says she'll finish the Blay Qhuinn storyline in a Novella so that the fans who don't want to read about it won't miss other important storylines. Which stinks for the fans like me who an enthralled with them and want a full length novel, but works for others who aren't liking it.I can't wait for book 9! It's gonna have alot of V in it, and I'm very intrigued by Payne (I think its the Buffy lover in me).
Oh jeez, i am a softy!
*****spoiler*****I am at the part where Blay pulled out Quinns cousin's business card. Duh. Should have seen that coming. I don't pay close enough attention to the Quinn/Blay parts because I don't like them!
I suppose I should eventually go back to the BDB series. I can't even remember where I left off probably book 4 or 5. So you're not really spoiling anything for me since when I see "spoiler" I tend to want to read it anyways.I'm really enjoying
, the main character just makes me laugh, I love her at the moment. After I'm done reading this, I'll be reading
since it's another library book due back in two weeks.
How's this for a problem...Ever since finishing Shadowfever I have no drive to start something new. I just want to keep rereading the Barrons moments over and over.

Very understandable. Mmmmmm Barrons. *Sigh* I will miss him.
So all I have to say here is that ITS NOT FAIR PEOPLE HAVE DEMONGLASS!!!!!Yep, that's it. Oh and Rachel Hawkins just tweeted that some guy who is ALL WRONG is in the running to play Peeta. As you can imagine this has dampened my day.
(PS I know Rachel Hawkins knows nothing of the Hunger Games movie but she's the first one who shared link that I saw so I give her credit)
*hug Cassi*For some reason I thought it was releasing tomorrow so I said I was starting it today (since my preorders always download long before midnight), then went back and checked the release date and it's not coming out til March 1st. I got that one wrong.
Boo.

John ends up with Xhex??? really? Why? (Don't answer that) but ugh! I guess I'll wait til I actually read the book for judgement but... ugh. Can't he be with someone a bit more feminine? (If you've had this discussion I skipped down once I saw all the spoilers) I just finished Butch's book and in a complete shocker my library actually got V's book in my hands before I finished Butch's. I'll catch up to you ladies eventually.

Wendy F wrote: "I know, I think that's why I can't put it down. I don't want it to be over."I hear you Wendy. I did the same thing. I think I spent a few night re-reading Barrons scenes before finally forcing myself to move on because library books are only good for so long. That was my motivation (that and I forced myself to remove the book from my bedside table)

it's okay...that's what I get for disappearing for a few days. While I admit I'm not thrilled about being spoiled it is BDB, so regardless I think you pretty much know what you're getting yourself into. That's all I saw because I skipped down after that. No matter how hard I try it seems I cannot escape the BDB spoilers. I guess I should read faster. Still, John and Xhex??? I am really not happy about this revelation. Can't he at least pick a female (human, vampire or otherwise) that I actually like?
Just got done reading
. It was not as good as I thought it was going to be. Maybe because I had high expectations for it as a result of all of the great reviews. :( Now I am starting
.
Heidi I wrote: "Ohh Jaimie let me know about All I Ever Wanted. I have it in my tbr pile."I definitely will do!
I just bought
yesterday and am starting it tonight. It is a little slower than I thought as well. But then again Im only on the first chapter!
uh oh. I just bought Unearthly today... crossing my fingers because I'll be starting that one tomorrow!on a side note, I just finished
and I'm so sad that this series is over. I never expected to like it as much as I did. I'm going to miss it.
I actually liked Unearthly. After being hugely disappointed with Fallen and only liking Hush, Hush a little bit better (who am I kidding, the only great thing about Hush, Hush was Patch), I thought this one had a better plotline and more likeable characters. Tucker is quite down to earth for a male character.

Sorry I spelled your name wrong Jamie - I thought you were the the other Jaimie (spelled that way) and changed her avatar or something, because she has been reading several Kristan Higgins books lately too. Strange coincidence, huh? Anyway, just wanted to say sorry for spelling your name wrong in a really long round about way!

ohhhh, interesting to know, cant wait to see what it is. I think what I like best of these books so far is that im always in suspense with them :)
Approaching the end of

Yay! I loved the ending. The whole book was intense!
Don't read below Catie! Teeny tiny maybe Spoiler!Lloyd, I know exactly where you are and I was feeling everything you are too. I'm so glad i wasn't at work because I was an emotional disaster! (shut up)
Don't worry, I won't spoil anything. (I'm all too aware that others might read it and I'd hate to ruin anything)All I can say is...I'm going to have to keep sneaking in bits while I'm at work.
Work ethics? I don't need no stinkin' work ethic! :P

Ha! In college I hung out with another Jamie and to keep us straight they called me two i's and her one i. I still answer to it when I am around old friends. Oh and I haven't read that one yet.
Jaimie - I have gotten so used to responding to you that I now spell all Jaimie's with an "i". It is all your fault! jk :) (kind of) Isn't it strange that Jamie was reading a K. Higgins book though? If it had been any other book/author I would have noticed it wasn't you Jaimie with an extra "i"! p.s. I have never known so many Jaimie's until this last year or so. I have been interacting with at least 5 female Jamies (they all spell their name like that - sorry!) for my work. It drives me crazy when they call and all the office assistant tells me is that Jamie is on the phone. Huh?? Which one! Before this, I had never even met anyone with your name. Sorry to ramble (as usual :)
Damn. I just finished
. What a great series! And, like Forrest Gump, "that's all I have to say about that". :DMust focus on work now. And to ponder that delicious question - what do I read next? :)
