Nairabell | 634 comments Thanks for all the congrats! :) I'm done with Dime Store Magic (Women of the Otherworld, #3) by Kelley Armstrong for the favorite-series shelf (review here).

As I've got a wicked busy week coming up (woohoo birthday) I'm going to switch my vampire book to Demon in My View (Den of Shadows, #2) by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes and my fantasy-scifi to Shattered Mirror (Den of Shadows, #3) by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes . I love the Otherworld books, but they are really long so I'm switching out for quicker reads.

Miss | 259 comments Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!
Go team go!

I'll be reading either Shiver or Book of a Thousand Days for the fantasy-scifi shelf.

Judithe | 6566 comments Thanks, Miss! I thought I'd seen it...but kept scrolling by! SORRY!!! Updating now!


message 821: by Judithe, Soap Operas never end.... (new)

Judithe | 6566 comments Magic Strikes (Kate Daniels, #3) by Ilona Andrews 5/16/11 4 and a bit stars!!!

Oh my...how can Kate resist? Oh yeah, getting together with Curran would not be a good idea for so many reasons, but I really don't see how she can resist! The tension between them continues to grow, as Kate lands in another hellish battle with disgustingly horrible monsters. I devoured this book 'cause I literally couldn't wait to find out what would happen! Very happy to know I have two more in her series (well, one is ALMOST here) that I can read soon!

Miss | 259 comments Happy birthday Nairabell!

I've just finished my fantasy-scifi read, Book of a Thousand Days, I absolutely loved it, 5 stars.

This book was a retelling if a fairytale, that one with the princess trapped in a tower, but with a twist. It was actually the story of the princess' maid, and it was extraordinary. I really loved the main characters and the setting (medieval Mongolia fantasy land), I felt teary and happy at the end, and finished the book thinking wow, I have a new favourite author. :)

Way to go!!!


Heather ~ Marceline | 1017 comments Happy belated birthday Jackie!


message 841: by Jackie M (new)

Jackie M | 695 comments Thanks!!
I think now we only need one more vampire book read and reviewed and then all of us(6 more to go) need to read and review our fantasy sci-fi books then we win!
**Okay I'm going back to reading before the whip makes an appearance**


Heather ~ Marceline | 1017 comments I should be done with my fantasy - sci fi tonight and reviewed either tonight or tomorrow morning. Three are already done so that would leave us with four left on this or less if anyone else finishes tonight and one on vamipres. Now to get through the day, grocery shop and get kids in bed so I can find out who is summoning those dang incubi!

Sandra | 25908 comments Happy Birthday to Jackie M, Heather & Nairabell, my fellow May babies :D

Good reading :)


Heather ~ Marceline | 1017 comments I have finished my fantasy-sci fi book on 5/16/11. I gave Fire Me Up (Aisling Grey Guardian, #2) by Katie MacAlister 5*'s. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite books series. I think I will need to pick up #3 soon to discover what happens next between Drake and Aisling. I love Jim and his snark and the stumbles we take with Aisling as she discovers she is much more powerful than she knows. I love Katie MacAlister's sense of humor. Any series that can talk about jiggling incubus parts in the climax of the book (I tried to think of a more appropriate phrase, but oh well) is at the top of my list.


message 848: by Judithe, Soap Operas never end.... (new)

Judithe | 6566 comments Yay, Heather! Great to hear you're liking it so much. Definitely need to pick up #2 of that myself.
