Sooo....laundry is calling, have to give the dog a hair cut, need to run some errands, run the vacuum, and do some actual work...as well as read my book. LOL...what do I do instead? Tinker around on the computer and net. Here's one of my projects (to compare how we're all doing). Just an FYI, non-official peek at all team's cards.All Bingo Cards
**current as of 4/2/11
OHHH!!! Found Steph's super nifty one with all the stuff!! It's way easier to read (and knew it had to be somewhere)...so take a peek if you wanna see who's closing in on Bingo!

Cool bingo stat update sheet, Judithe! Did ya notice how nicely Triple Threat's shelves are linin' up for them? >:) I told them they must have a thing w/Mr. Randomizer I don't know about. LOL!Happy reading, Sixie Chicks!
{Team Stats Updated}
I noticed!! Lucky ladies! Personally, I'm hoping for vampires next....LOL!
Maybe. Nev'a can tell. ;)
I finished
for the shifters shelf.. I give it three stars.The main problem I had with this book was that I didn't really like the main character, Faythe. She comes across as pretty stupid at times. Stray is also way too long. It takes about 300 pages to start with the real storyline and the action. When the action started, I quite liked it. I'm not sure if I'll be reading more of this series. Do the books get better or do the stay pretty much the same?
By the way, that means we're about to receive our 3rd stamp!
CONGRATULATIONS, Sixie Chicks! You now have an updated BINGO card with a stamp on 'shifters'.
[Your new BINGO card can be viewed on page 1]
Good Job!! :D
Hooray & Congrats on the new stamp, Sixie Chicks!
Celine I thought exactly the same but apparently they do get better and Faythe, although very fustrating at times, does grow up. I'm going to read the rest very soon, so I'd say give the others a go :)
@Celine: I think the same about Faythe. Sometimes I wish I could through the book at her head. I'm halfway through #3 and I still have that feelingAnd congrats on the stamp!
Hmmm...have Stray on hand...still! And still no rush to bump it up! LOLYay on our new stamp!!!!

4.5*'sThe beginning threw me off...I really wasn't sure I'd enjoy this book, but I loved it. The twists, the turns...this is one I'll definitely re-read. Hugh and Lilith have an 800-year relationship, coming from opposite sides of the spectrum of good and evil. Their love and need of one another, never acknowledged, has had 800 years to grow as well. It seems impossible...and keeps you wondering right up to the end.

I haven't gotten to it yet, although it is a reread and I liked it first time round. It was mother's day on Sunday in the UK so I was pampering my Mum and my sister who had her first ever m-day as well as playing with my niece so I haven't had much reading time.
Ohh..I forgot about that! Hope you had a lovely day! That is one of my favorite series, so love to hear other people like it as well.
What fun, Nairabell! Hope your Mum and sis enjoyed their day.
The first Mum's Day is always one to remember. :) That's great that you were able to spend time w/them both.PS: Hope you enjoy your book.
I finished my demon read.Storm Born read 4/5/2011 4 stars
There were some things in this book that I did not like, but the things that I did like out weighed them. I wasn't a fan of the love triangle and I wish that there would of been a little more action. I am looking forward to see what becomes of this series and who Eugenie ends up with, so I will be reading the next book soon.

Demon shelf B3: Demon Blood.**** Finished 4/4/11 I really like this series. Consistently interesting,with a few twists, adding to the world building, and making me want to find out how this or that issue is resolved...
In case you are not aware, there is a prequel short story Falling for Anthony in Hot Spell.

IMHO I really like the visual of the 6 Bingo cards a lot!! It is so easy to see the potential Bingos and know where everyone stands.Thank you, Judithe.
PS My favorite niece is Judith so I really like your name. It gives me warm fuzzies.
I finished
for the demons shelf on 4/5/11. I gave it 4 *'s. At the beginning of the book, I wasn't sure how I was going to like the book with all the talk about how she can never date nice guys and never have a relationship with anyone not immortal. I like how the author worked relationships, whether they were romantice or not into Georgina's life. I also enjoyed how, though I could kind of figure out what the twist would be at the end, I couldn't figure out who it was between a few characters, so it was nice to not be able to figure out the whole plotline as you so often can do. I am looking forward to reading the next book to see where her relationship, or lack of, leads and to see where Georgina's story heads with what happened at the end.

That made my day! Thanks!
@Heather-like the review & series! Hope you enjoy the next ones, too!
I've finished my book for the ya-fantasy shelf.
Oh. My. Gods. by Tera Lynn ChildsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Really glad that I happened upon this book. It was a cute, fun read.
I love mythology, so that's why I picked up this book.
Phoebe's mom gets remarried and moves them both to a small island in Greece. The new school that Phoebe attends is a school that is exclusively for descendants of the Greek gods. All the kids at the school have powers, and Phoebe doesn't, which causes some problems for her.
Oh, and Phoebe loves to run. There's a lot of running in this book. Nearly made me tired. Haha.
Reading about Phoebe was fun, and Tera had me cheering for her the whole time.
