I'll be anxious to see how ya like "Never Again", I recently got that one. I like her Broken Heart series.
I'm really excited to start Never Again so I'll definately let you how I liked it, and I really enjoyed the first Broken Heart Vampire book and this challenges gives me just excuse to continue on with that series :D
:) They are funny. Some I've liked more than others, but overall it's a light, funny series. Always a quick read. Enjoy!
I'm in, I love these quickies :DGenre Juice Flavours

I'm going to squeeze this one in, it's a Bizarro, and I've been wanting to try that genre for a while now. It's a nice little 100 pager, so I should be able to squeeze it into my April TBR. And amongst some of the stuff in that genre, it seems harmless enough. :)
You know how sometimes when you add a book to your TBR, especially an indy author, the author will send you a PM through Goodreads? And you're always a bit uncomfortable about it? I add so many books to my TBR, I don't know when or if I'll ever get to yours.
Well, this guy sent me one, and it was so funny & snarky, it made me want to read his book even more. He got a kick out of my penchant for adding a book to all the shelves it fits on--helps with the challenges in the future, ya know? He asked me if I read it already, or if a future self of mine read it and shelved it accordingly. ;)
Laura, hope you like it. Sounds intriguing :)

Looking forward to hearing what you think, either way. LOL

I can't believe it, but I'm finished already.Genre Juice Mini-Challenge
Completed: 3/3
PNR or UF
Treachery in Death, J.D. Robb, 4-3-11, 5 stars
Funny any genre
First Grave on the Right, Darynda Jones, 4-5-11, 4.5 stars
Beach,Autumn yellow cover, water, mermaid type
The Dead Tossed Waves, Carrie Ryan, 4-4-11, 5 stars
Yay Daffodil! I am listening to Naked in Death, I figured it was time to start them. But it amazes me that #32 is still a 5 star. Damn. My mom loves them, she just finished this one and is so upset that she is caught up. :)Did you like The Dead Tossed Waves better than The Forest of Hands & Teeth? I loved them both, but just liked Gabry more than I liked Mary in the 1st one.
I love that Roberts writes Eve and Rourke's relationship realistically. They spat, they get irritated with each other, but there's still that deep love underneath it all and they work through things.IMO, DTW was better than FHT and Gabry was much more likeable than Mary. Most writers focus on the outbreak or immediate aftermath of a zombie rising. I like that Ryan has built a world generations later and her take on how that world would evolve is interesting.
Hooray, Daffodil!Love the In Deaths, never found a bad one. And so glad you liked First Grave, I've got it ordered.
I'm in 1/3
