I finished Me and My Shadow for the Paranormal-Romance shelf.4 stars. It was good. Exciting and all that. Quite a shocking bit of information at the end. Gonna have to check out the next series to find out more.
/sigh Might post a longer review later when I can actually get on a computer.
Paranormal-romance: The Darkest Kiss 4/10 ★★★ I think it was my mood. This story has all the elements I enjoy...but I just couldn't get into it.
Today i finished my paranormal-romance read Caressed By Ice, 05/11, 4 stars:I really enjoyed this addition to the series, both characters were likeable but Judd is a memorable one, yumm. :D The conflict of the series between psy-changeling seems to be progressing also, this book contained the opening hostilities. Hawke and Selena intrigue me but their book is much further in the series (can't wait) and i'm also very curious about the Ghost :D
5/11/11, 4★'sThis is the first of the Riley Jensen series, and quite a blast. It starts off quick, and the action just keeps going. The men in the story are quite interesting, though (view spoiler) I know want to take a trip to Australia even more, AND have added the rest of the series to my library wishlist (yeah...I finally got the d**** library card, and my wallet is so happy!)

Updated today....*sob*...we have 6/11 stamps, one other team has 7, one has 9 and the other 3 have 10, with nice BINGO line-ups. We have a good line-up, too, but gotta get the books finished! OK, I'll stop pressuring, and regardless of outcome, do so enjoy sharing books and reviews, and more ~though I draw the line @ bunny killing~ with you!

If we could get our stamps for vampires, favorite-series, and paranormal romance we would be sitting in a real good position. We are so close ladies!Happy reading.

Okay, I'm catching up. I'm all done with
for the urban fantasy shelf (review here) and

I read Bitten last year and don't really remember what happens. But I think I need to read it again before I start the second one./sigh I have too many different series started. I don't know what to do. They're all so good.
CONGRATULATIONS, Sixie Chicks! You now have an updated BINGO card with a stamp on 'urban-fantasy' & 'paranormal-fiction'.
[Your new BINGO card can be viewed on page 1]
Good Job!! :D
Yay! congrats on 2 stamps Sexie Chicks!
Thanks! And way to go, Sixie's!!
The weekend is here! That means
.....*drumroll*....
a new shelf!Lots of teams are getting close to BINGO, including us!
Here's the way it looks:
6. If fantasy-scifi is called=BINGO for US!! ...but only if we finish vampires~6/8~ AND fantasy-scifi before the next shelf is called!
5. If dragons is called=BINGO for The Bite Me Betty Dolls but they also have to finish "favorite series"
4. If supernatural is called=DOUBLE BINGO for May the 4ce Be With You
3. If angels is called=BINGO for Triple Threat but they also have to finish this week's shelf, "paranormal romance"
2. If witches or first-in-series is called=BINGO for Scratch & Sniff but they also have to finish this week's shelf, "paranormal romance"
1. If magic OR time travel OR series-to-read is called=BINGO for Nameles ONEders
So...getting a little crazy about BINGO...but this is much more fun to think about than student essays! Have fun reading!!
Keeping fingers crossed! Will check in frequently. And, yeah, all the rest of the Bingo books I have picked are all on Kindle...no waiting!!
Lucky you! I've got disorganized stacks, some on Adobe & Aldiko, some on Kindle, and the the library one (Overdrive, I think...) I KNOW what I want to read next...fingers crossed about Mr. Randomizer!!

Happy Reading! :)
I'd like to read Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison for the fantasy-scifi shelf. Would someone be able to check that it's on the shelf for me? (Stupid computer.....)
It's there, Alyssa (4 people shelved)! Happy Reading! Hope you enjoy Rachel and her clan. :)http://www.goodreads.com/book/shelves...
I will be reading
for the fantasy-scifi shelf. Let's go Sixie Chicks!!!
Good title choice, Heather :)
Wow! Almost there. Must read faster ;)I'll be reading
for the fantasy-scifi shelf (it's way up there on pg 63).
I'll be reading
.
Remember...selections aren't set in stone...you can rearrange them as long as they fit the shelf & announcement date! LOL!
Fantasy scifi Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs Alpha Omega two
Finished Need, give it 4 stars! (Paranormal-romance shelf)Interesting book, about pixies and were's. It started out pretty awesome, but the action kind of fell flat towards the end. There was not as much character development as I would have hoped. Nevertheless, still an entertaining read.
And for the Fantasy-scifi shelf I'll read The Crown Conspiracy and for Vampires I'll read The Fury. I hope we'll win this one :D
Quick Links Updated to Post #798OK...I haven't put the shelf together yet...blame it on RL (spent the day grading papers and putting up students' blog reports~fun, but not really what I wanted to spend ALL Sunday doing...LOL) and forgive me! Now, go read. Why are you still here? Seriously, GO READ! :)

This is a reread for me, and the first time I really enjoyed it and was fascinated with how evil the main character was. On my second read there were some obvious flaws especially to the writing style, it felt crude, not properly edited, but the characters held the same appeal and fascination. Simon Baldevar is one of the most sadistic, cruel "heroes" I've read about.
Going to have to track down the other books in the series, I hear the author in planning on reissuing them.
