Good Job!! :D
Congrats SSS!
Jess, I'm so sorry to hear about your nan. Hope she improves soon. Sending healing thoughts her way. YAY on getting your assessment due in time. Good luck with everything! Hang in there, hun.
I'm going to read
for the demon shelf. Just bought it on my kindle so that's good timing.
Now I'm almost half way thru THE DARKEST PASSION and I am feeling like I'm missing a few short stories. So now I feel like I HAVE to go to Border's tommorrow to find Lysander's DARKEST ANGEL story. And you know you can never buy just one book...
LOLOL Lis.....I know that one!Jessica - so sorry to hear about your Nan. If you ever need someone else to temporarily update, just shout!
I'm hoping to finish my Free Space book either tonight or tomorrow while I am off work. Then, it's on to the Demons shelf!I'm excited about that one! Love Cassie Ryan - and this is the start of a new series.
@Jessica - Sending get well wishes to your Nan!@Cindy - Thanks again enabler, I'll see if I can find any Cassie Ryan on the sales shelves too. Not familiar with her and it sounds similar to Richelle Mead's series, which I like.
She has a trilogy that I absolutely LOVED!
I'll let you know how much I love
once I finish my Free Space book.
Jessica wrote: "Thanks Steph, shes getting better so im not so worried anymore :)"I'm happy to hear it, Jessica.
Almost finished with Fragile Eternity for my Free Space read. It's dragging.....but I'm thinking at least part of the reason is because it's been so long since I read the first 2. Took me awhile to get back into the world.May not be able to post a review until tomorrow, but will definitely be starting
tomorrow at the latest.Looks like September is gonna be lots of erotica for me. Some PnR, several BDSM. I can hardly wait....
Yeah.....that's me! The naughty Grandma!!!
Finished my shifter book last night (08/30/11).
4 starsI enjoyed it. I finished it quickly and definitely plan to pick up more in the series. It was kinda cheesy at times (their names are ridiculous!), but fairly action packed. (view spoiler) There is some lucky coincidences that occur that are eye-rolling (ex - "He's grievously wounded? Let me try to use the magic I just learned I had in the past week to heal him. Oh look it worked!") But whatever, it was an enjoyable book.
Finished my "Demon" Shelf book: The Darkest Passion
Date finished: August 31,2011
Rating: ★★★
Review: This was Aeron keeper of Wrath's story. His angel was sent to observe the Lords then kill Aeron because he brought a demon, Legion from hell. This was one of my least favorite stories, because of how the triangle was set up was just stupid. The whole Legion story angle just ruined this one for me. The side stories & characters Gideon, Gilly, William were fun and I did like the Olivia character. It redeemed itself in the end and several story threads that have been woven thru the series were revealed further. There was some closure for some of the fallen Lords in the end but the HEA seemed a little rushed.
Hints of Paris' book was revealed and excited most about that upcoming issue. Not really looking forward to the next installment which is DARKEST LIE, since everything poor Gideon sez is the opposite. Did pick up the anthology that has DARKEST ANGEL, Lysander and Bianka's story since I felt like I was missing series information.
Shelf: Free Space
Date finished: 8-31-11

Review:
This is the ongoing saga of Aislinn, Seth, and Keenan. Niall, Donia, Bananach and a few others play their parts, but the main focus of this book is how Aislinn and Keenan are working to strengthen the Summer Court, and how Seth fits in Aislinn's world.
It had been at least a year since I read the first 2 books in this series, and I had a hard time getting back into the story and the world. Once I became more familiar with things, the story flowed a lot better.
Lots of angst from Aislinn - I don't want to hurt Seth, I love Seth, I'm putting Seth in danger.....
Lots of angst from Seth - I'm just a weak mortal, I'll die and Ash will be with Keenan, does Ash really want to be with me or Keenan......
Lots of angst from Keenan - Aislinn is my Queen, my court needs me to be with her, I love Donia but I can't have her.....
It all got to be a bit much. I did enjoy the book, especially the ending. I will be reading the next book in the series, cuz I already have it! Gonna try to get to it soon, so I don't forget so much about Fairie and the different courts.
And now we are ready for our Free Space stamp! YAYI've already started my Demon book. I'm so glad that succubi are considered to be demons.....I'm off to grab a cold drink and a fan. These are needed items so I can keep my cool while I am reading!
Yeah Team! Another stamp...@ Jessica - I like the addition of the bookcovers :)
CONGRATULATIONS, Serious Series Sluts! You now have an updated BINGO card with a stamp on 'free space'.

Good Job!! :D
The bookcovers look AWESOME! So does our newest stamp! I'm hoping to finish my Demon book either late tonight or early tomorrow. I'll definitely be done in time for the next shelf.Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!
Congrats SSS!
Seducing the Succubus by Cassie Ryan
Shelf: Demons
Date Finished: 9-1-11
Rating: ★★★★
Review:
Jezebeth. What a wonderful name for a succubus! This is her story. Nice, sweet, fairly steamy read. Wonderful HEA..... Warning! There is some F/F interaction, so if that isn't your cup of tea, too bad! You will be missing out on a fabulous book. Not a major part of the storyline, so you COULD skim those parts - but, you would be missing out on another side of a major character in this book and the ones to follow.
The second book in the series is already out, so I'll be working the budget to grab hold of it soon! There should be 2 more after these. Will the sisters be able to keep Armegeddon at bay? Let's all hope so......
oh crap... I mixed my books and read the demon book first, I'll try to hurry with Magic Bleeds.Just finished The Darkest Secret by Gena Showalter 09/02***
The story was just OK, I liked Amun and Haidee until the last 10 chapters, they were waaay too sweet and corny for my taste.
And the ending was too complicated and sort of left me thinking "ooooh how convenient!!!", like it was just wrapped up to get a HEA in 5 mins or less.
Have you read her other books Jes? She has a trilogy out that I adored.....it's finished.LOL Lili - at this point I don't think it really matters much what order you read the books in.....just keep plugging! Magic Bleeds was a pretty fast read for me.
I finished
for the demon shelf this morning. I'm giving it 4 1/2 stars. I really like this series. I enjoy it more than Vincent's Pride series. I think this book was my favorite so far, (view spoiler). Also, Kaylee has a bit of a "hero-complex" (Nash's words, not mine) that can get annoying at times throughout the series. She's a teenager; it's not her responsibility to save everyone. Frankly she needs to learn to let the grown-ups in on stuff and I think in this book she's finally starting to learn that. Two thumbs up for that! I hope it continues into the next books. The only problem was that it ended rather abruptly. It wasn't really a cliffhanger, but it did end in such a way that I'm practically desperate for the next book.
I'm all caught up! And just in time for the next shelf announcement. It's a freakin' miracle.
HOORAY for miracles! Glad to know you are enjoying the series. I've only read the first one, but do plan to keep on, especially since the next 3 are staring at me from my YA shelves......
Yeah team! We are close to two more stamps... and its almost time, bring on the next shelf!!
Dang.....I was hoping for BDSM!Well - since it doesn't look like any of the books I have to read in the next few days are on this shelf, let me look for something quick and easy! My reading plate is pretty full between now and the 15th.....but I'll definitely get my book (whatever it ends up being) read before the next category comes up. Even if I have to mail another book without reading it first.....and I HATE doing that!
SIGH.......Amazon is my friend.....and I have coupons for HPB. Who knows, I might get lucky and find another copy of a book I need to mail!
Book hoarder that I am, found a dozen to pick from my TBR pile... I think its easier when you have fewer choices, but I am leaning towards
, I'll let you know if I change my mind.
Oh Lis.....I didn't even make it to page 20 and found more than that..... Guess I'll need to make a list and ask for reccomendations!
I seem to be reading alot of PNR lately, so I was going for something more UF... A few others on my short list were 
Think I'll go with
. I've got it in one of the games on PBS. It hasn't been chosen yet, but it probably will be.....
Im going with
....I'm still reading
....

That's not good... I've only cleaned off a few from my TBR mountain, we need this to last several more weeks. If I don't have Mr. Randomizer telling me what to read...
What if we make it the bingo where you have to fill out the whole card vs. 5 in a row??
I finished my book
....this was for my demon shelf..I'm giving this one 4*s....I kept thinking the whole time I was reading this book when do we get to the good stuff...well patience pays off in the end...wow....I knew something was up with Maddie but never thought she would have moved in for the kill lol. Poor Georgina sucks that it was Christmas. Now I have 2 the next book because really want to know what happens next even if I dont like outcome....great series
I'm baaaack. Sorry for the absence ladies. I was out of town for the weekend. I'm home now and I'm off to pick a book. BRB.
YAY Sallie!!!! Now we are ready for our Demon stamp.Welcome back Crystal. Hope you had a good time over the weekend.
CONGRATULATIONS, Serious Series Sluts! You now have an updated BINGO card with a stamp on 'demons'.

Good Job!! :D
Congrats SSS!!!
I finished SUCCUBUS REVEALED this week and wow, if you like the series you really like this one.
I'm jealous.....haven't gotten that one yet. Some day I'll have it though.
I think I'll read
. I may change my mind and read something else though since I have a ton to choose from. No reading for me today though, I have to work. Although it is a holiday so maybe it will be mind-numbingly slow and I'll have to read to pass the time!
Finished my "Supernatural" Shelf book: Kitty's Big TroubleDate finished: 5 September,2011
Rating: ★★★★
Review: I really enjoyed this Kitty book, the pack of three were together again traveling to Dodge City and San Francisco. Unfortunately most of their time in San Fran was spent in the tunnels under Chinatown fighting all kinds of craziness. I like the direction this series has taken and seems like we have many more books coming before they ever conquer the "big bad" that is out there with the allies that she is collecting along the way.
She hasn't been on much at all lately. I know school starting had her in a bit of a bind. Seems like she's been popping in about once a week.....
I've got one more book to read and mail for PBS, then I'll be starting my Supernatural book. Should be able to finish both by the end of the week.We really need to talk Steph into adding a BDSM shelf......or maybe just a nekkid man-chest shelf. That would have worked too!!!!
