I am reading
This is a very well-written story and if you are one for Soulless and the like...you will like this as well. I am so glad that I have the other two books in this series on reserve at the library. I don't have to wait to find out what happens.

Citing Soulless Frishawn, what are you doing to me! (Soulless was an unexpected love).Started
on audiobook today.

It was really good, I wish there were more!
I heard there would be a second book, maybe a companion? Of course I have no way to prove this, but someone had mentioned it in another group of mine at one point.

I really, really want a sequel to
, too. It's certainly set up for one. And I want to hear more about zombie pandas.

The audio is FABULOUS!
Oh, I'm glad to hear you guys liked SOULLESS! Have you read the sequels? And arrgh, I read the first couple of pages and really liked them and was all set to buy the 3-book ebundle, but it won't be available until July 4. :( So I guess I'll putting this off for a couple of weeks. (I know, my problems are silly.)Kristina, I'm ashamed to say I still haven't read my Wilder Life ARC yet. I hope you enjoy it!
Wendy - I just started it today but I do really like it! I can definitely relate to the author and she's really funny so it's a fun read :)
Kristina, have you seen the author's tweets in character as Laura Ingalls Wilder? She is hilarious. www.twitter.com/halfpintingalls She says things like "During the winter, we like to make sno-cones and FLAVOR IT WITH OUR TEARS." (It's so funny, she commented on a Little House stocking craft swap I did on my blog and we got to chatting, and it was because of her humor that I guessed who she was before she unveiled it publicly.)Cassi (is secretly listening to Heidi SHHH) wrote: "I've read all of them. The 3rd left me craving pesto. And I still haven't had any yet!"
Oh, good! I could use another good series. Particularly a funny one.
Cassi (is secretly listening to Heidi SHHH) wrote: "I've read all of them. The 3rd left me craving pesto. And I still haven't had any yet!"I listened to the first two on audio and have book 3 in my wishlist on Netlibrary (audio). I liked book one the best, but two was still entertaining.
Soulless was one of the funniest books I have read this year. I loved it! Even the names of the chapters had me cracking up because I could just imagine what Alexia was going to be doing next.
I am currently reading Blood on the Moon
, and so far it is sounding too much like Twilight with the whole vampire/werewolf feud. I'm already in the middle of it and no real action so far - I guess I'll continue and see what happens.
Just finished
despite the smutty cover, which has nothing to do with the book. Anyway, it was good and want to read the rest of the series. Now I'm reading
. It's funny!
Rebecca wrote: "I finally got around to reading
. It was really good! Now Im onto
!"Good Lord, I LOVED this series!!! It was so good, action packed, love and lust were just enough and I loved the chracters, especially Mac and Jericho (yum)
Due to my reading slump, I am going to take a tiny break from YA and catch up with one of my all-time favorite fictional characters...Repairman Jack!
I'm so excited to read Soulless after hearing everyone's comments--thank you! :) Now for the 2.5 week wait...I read
which was excellent and I loved
, too! Fluffy and fun. Cassi, you might like this one.I'm doing a buddy read of
tonight, which I'm looking forward to.

Hahaha I just followed her on Twitter and I will definitely be reading them later, I really like her!
Wendy Darling wrote: "I really, really want a sequel to

There is also the Novella, Necromancer: A Novella.
I really really liked this book.

"Now that you mention it, Beat the Reaper (the book we recommended) is NOT YA. It's not romance either. I can't remember if we clarified that. (This is to anyone who may have been thinking about it.)
Midnight Im currently reading The VampireDiaries : The Return vol . 3 Midnight . The book by L.J. Smith had me hooked from the first book I read in the series . Has anyone else read it ?

Some people don't like that, as they prefer to stay in YA.
@Catie - Hop to it!
I burned through
during exams, and I loved Kate! Such a hilarious/awesome protag. Now making a start on

Also: I finally got a Kindle! Loving it so far, needless to say.. *joy-dance* Am re-reading

Wow, I haven't been on this group in a couple of months. I have lots of catching up to do!!! I have only read two books so far this month alone (I know sad isn't it?), and they were
, which I loved so much!! and
, which I enjoyed but it wasn't my favorite.I'm not sure what I'll read next. I have three more library books waiting, so we'll see.
Hey Lloyd. It's good to be back. I've been kind of keeping myself, normally do around this time of year. But I have been reading a ton well except for this month.
