Alyssa, you can also check the book database here: (It won't let me make "pretty" links for some reason, so just putting this in "as is" to our topic linking to the database!)

I think your link is pretty just the way it is. :-P

Thanks for the info. Of course the name I'm looking for this week isn't on the list at all. Just my luck.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

LOL...yesterday, every time I tried to hit add book/author or (some html is ok), it just bounced me to the top of the page, rather than giving me the menus!!! (I was a little bit peeved...but it~my pc~ seems to be fixed now!)

/sigh Darn computers.... I need to send mine in again. Such a pain.

Well, if anyone can help me, this week I need 3 books with a character named Erin in them. I would be in your debt, somehow. :-D

[Heather ~ Marceline]

According to Shelfari there are over 1,000 books: http://www.shelfari.com/characters/Erin

Hope that helps!

Must'a been GR, not your PC b/c mine did the same yesterday. Bugger! LOL! Glad it's fixed now. :)

Yep, that is a known bug that pops up occasionally :)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

That's a relief, actually! Is there another known bug about the number of books on a shelf not changing after you shuffle some on or off? Have to see if I can track down the "bug" list...

[Miss]

Just finished my urban fantasy read, River Marked, 04/16 - 4.5 stars.

This was a great entry to the series, I loved how Adam and Mercy interacted, loved to see their relationship grow. There was some light shed on Mercy's paternity, but also more questions popped out (I'm really wondering now how long Mercy is going to live, she is really vulnerable and heals human-slow).
As this was also a road-trip kind of story, I missed some of the other characters and I'm looking forward to reading more about them in the next instalment.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Good to hear, Miss! Mine finally arrived (Friday!), and I'm crossing my fingers that I can read it for our next shelf!!! I can't wait much longer, LOL!

[Nairabell]

Hey guys. Sorry for disappearing on you this week. My hayfever has flared up and my right eye has been watering constantly so I haven't been doing much reading. However I've got eyedrops and tablets which *touch wood* will help me feel a lot better now, so once I'm done knitting my neice a jelly baby I'll play catch up with my reading.

For paranormal fiction I'll read .

Aww, sorry to hear you have hayfever. I hope you enjoy Stolen, Elena is still my favourite lead in the Women of the Otherworld series (:

I have to say, we have the best status updates of all groups!

Mmm, I still have to think about the paranormal shelf

[Zaanodes]

paranormal fiction: No Rest for the Wicked 4* Amazing race indeed! Sacrificing all around. Globetrotting. Time traveling. Whew. I am tired just from reading it! Next?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

[Jackie M]

For the paranormal-fiction shelf I am going to read .

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

So, Zaanodes, are you recovered and enjoying your next read? That one is one of my faves.

Jackie, I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of that...I'm about to dive into the series, too....

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

4/18/11 4.5★

Full review will follow later, but...I LOVED IT. OK, so that's almost a given for me. Mercy is great as always, and so full of character. Adam is....well, he's Adam. Nuff said. I love to read series (great series!) set in my old home neighborhoods...and I've hiked around where Mercy and Adam did, on my way from the Tri-Cities to Portland.

Back to the story. I love Adam and Mercy's relationship, and though the "usual" character cast was very much in the background, the new people we met were quite interesting. The action was well-paced (not too fast, and definitely not too slow)...and I just laughed at the butterflies & balloons.

Done gushing for now...it was worth the wait, and the next will be on pre-order, too.

Oh...missed that! I've had spring hayfever for the first time this year...yuck Yuck YUCK!!!! Hope you're feeling MUCH better!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Nairabell, that's terrible, hope you're feeling better.

Judithe, not rubbing it in but we've got 7 stamps now, you'll need to update your Bingo Cards.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL Sandra!

YAY Judithe! Glad you enjoyed RM! Knew ya would. Fun read, yah?

Feel better, Nairabell!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

OK, Ok...hang onto your horses there, Sandra! LOL! And congrats, too! We'll be at 7 very soon!

And really loved RM...hard to get into my next book, eek. Though that might be the fault of RL butting into my reading time!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I always have the same issue following a fantastic read, nothing can compare. I'm sure a few books would've probably gotten a higher rating from me if they hadn't had the unfortunate after-great-book syndrome. LOL!

[Heather ~ Marceline]

I finished on 4/19/11 and gave it 5 *'s.

I loved the third installment of this series. Elena has remained a Guild Hunter, though only part time while she gains her strength as a made angel. In this book Elena and Raphael struggle with how much independence Raphael will allow her, having to acknowledge he wanted a warrior for his consort. The main storyline though revolves around the waking of an ancient. No one is certain who, or where they are sleeping, but based on the disasters happening around the world it is apparent it is someone very old. Everyone suspects that it is Raphael's mother, an idea that terrifies all angels. The book was exciting, and definitely hot! I am looking forward to reading the Phy-Changeling series also written by Nalini Singh since I like this series so much.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yay! Another Nalini fan :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I just wanna hug Nalini for all the great books she's given us. Love her!

[Miss]

I too love her books!

Finished Desire Unchained for the demons shelf - 04/20, 4.5 stars, nearly perfect. :)

I like Larissa Ione's demon world, it's different and very easy to visualise, she is a gifted author. Also, liked that there were many scenes involving a hospital, that's also different and interesting. The two main characters were really great and the conflict kept me on the edge of my seat till the end. Can't wait for Wraith's story which is next!

I'll also be reading Eternal Kiss of Darkness for the paranormal-fiction stamp.

[Nairabell]

Thanks for all the best wishes guys. I'm feeling much better :)

Also - love Nalini Singh's books! I read all of the psy-changelings in a week last month so now I'm desperate for Kiss of Snow!

I'm done with for the Demons shelf (though there were barely any demons in there). My review is here.

[Jackie M]

Finished my demon read.
4/20/2011 3 stars more like 3 1/2 stars.
This is one of those series that I know I will be hooked on. It has everything I like, the bad boy, the virgin, and the how can they ever be together forever theme.
The Lords of the Underworld is about a bunch of men and one woman who are warriors that also have a demon trapped in them and they can never be separated or the warrior dies and the demon is unleashed to the world.
I am looking forward to reading the next installment and have it waiting for me on my Kindle.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Nairabell, demons pop up big time further into the IAD series.

Glad you liked LotU Jackie, I'm reading this month for a challenge :)

[Alyssa]

I finished for the Urban Fantasy shelf.

5 stars! It was good. (I'll post my longer review later, if anyone wants. I had to write it by hand! My stupid computer decided to die one me. I just gotta remember to bring the journal that I wrote the review in with me to the library so that I can type it up.)

I'm almost done with my paranormal fiction read too! :-D

[Jackie M]

I am hoping to read City of Fallen Angels soon. Good to hear you liked it.
That really stinks about your computer Alyssa.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

I hope you do get the review up sometime...that's a series I've got on hand to start, and would love to hear more about it!

So sorry about your computer...ugh! What an awful happening!
