R3 TEAM THREAD: Team #4 ~ Seriesly Hawt Sirens
I decided on
I figure it should be a relatively fast read. I know I already like her writing, and after my last book I'm looking for goodness :D
YAY!!
Hi ladiesFinished my demon read. Succubi like it hot. Sept 4/11. 3.5 stars
Funny read had me laughing out loud in parts. Lots of sex. Good light read just what I needed. Good plot. The ending was alright. I would consider reading others in the series.
For my supernatural read. Nightlife by Rob Thurman
Yay Zina!
OK, two weeks in a row now I have changed my mind and read something else!So, for my supernatural read, I went with
09/05/11 ★ ★ ★ ★I just love these books! Briggs has got it going on with this series. Most books have a 'feature' that stands out and causes you to really like them. A stand-out quality where the author has really exceeded expectations. This series is not like that. The Mercy Thompson series is one that few others fall in line with. It is perfectly balanced. There is just enough of everything to keep you happy, keep the story going, keep the romance aspect alive without taking over the story, enough sex appeal to keep the story hot without seeming gratuitous, enough.....of everything!
Iron Kissed was the shortest of the stories (if I am correct) but really good. A great trip into the world of the fae that revealed just enough to make the fae scary and still leave tons for development later on. I absolutely loved the turn that Mercy's relationship with Samuel took! The change in relationship with Adam was very tasteful and did not seemed forced to advance the plot. Good stuff I tell you!
I'm just sad that I have read half of the series now...sniff. It's all downhill now! ;)
We're almost done with demons! Yeah!Week 6: Demons, B1

***** 09/06/11I didnt think i like this book that much, but i have to say it was super. From the first page i was hooked and i loved how much was going on and how it ended. Just wanna take the next book and read it :)
Laura, I really enjoyed Hex Hall too. I finished it in one sitting because I got so into it. I'm glad you liked it.
have u read other books in this series?
I had the second one from the library but I didn't have enough time to read it before I had to return it :( I'm really excited to read it but I'm going to have to wait until things slow down before I can get it again.
Supernatural Shelf 7/9/11 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
This series is like doing a dance where you know the steps but aren't sure which order they should go in.
This 2nd outing is even more intricate than the 1st, and we see all the characters grow a little more. The time jumping helps with this as well as the trip to Faery.
Cassie has now become the Pythia, but finds out she has a geis placed on her by Mircea and no-one is able to remove it.
Which of course sets up #3 very nicely.
Really enjoying this series, looking forward to the next book.

Glad you loved it, Sandra! IMO the series only gets better ;)@Steph: Getting Hunt the Moon was probably the highlight of my year lol, hope you get it soon!
I've already got Hunt the Moon. Just need time to read from here to there.
:) Knew you had 'um all. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Finished my supernatural read
Sept 8/11
4 stars
What an interesting read. To start off I wasn't too sure about this one. It seemed quite a dark story. The writing was surprisingly quite good. I really enjoyed the story. About halfway the story started to pick up and you had to hang on for the ride. I will continue with the series. Enjoyed it more than I had first thought I would.
Woohoo I am now caught up....Wonder what the next shelf will be?
I need to start that series. Have you read her other series "Trickster"? I really liked the first one (Trick of the Light), but haven't gotten to #2 yet.
No I havent but I have Trick of the Light waiting patiently on my shelf to be picked up and devoured. I have read that the Cal Leandros series get better from book 3 onwards.
Hmmm, there are so many good ones, I can't decide. I'll finish Shadow Walker then pick :)
I'll be reading Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
hmm what to read....i will go this week with
I finally finished Succubus on Top by Richelle Mead. I gave it 4 stars. I enjoyed Georgina's banter but I kind of felt like everything was resolved too quickly and there was no huge climax for me. I enjoyed the ending. I can't wait to read the next one. I liked all the mythological things that came up in the course of the novel. I found Bastien to be charismatic and I enjoyed the relationship he shared with Georgina.
I'm pretty sure that means we get a Demons stamp!!
Yep, it's stamping time :D
CONGRATULATIONS, Seriesly Hawt Sirens! You now have an updated BINGO card with a stamp on 'demons'.
[Your new BINGO card can be viewed on page 1]
Good Job!! :D
Hi LadiesWell I had a fun weekend!! I had been putting this project off for long enough. DH is away for the weekend so I finally got time to organize all my books. I got all the Fiction books that I own put on Goodreads.
Oh my over 1100 books I have that I havent read yet....I even managed to categorize them...and have sections/shelfs just for a genre/author...the big ones being.. PNR/UF, Fantasy, King, Koontz, Rice, Chick Lit, Mystery,
Took 15 hours but now I know that all the books I have on here are in my house somewhere...
My plan going forward is to put on goodreads any books I get...But if I didnt buy anymore books I have enough books to read for 20 years (I think I only read about 50 books a year)...
For this weeks shelf I am reading
which by the way I didnt even know I owned!!!
LOL, Congrats on the big GR love :DAnd congrats to us on another stamp ;)
WTG, Zina! Lots of hard work, but it'll pay off when you're on the hunt for a book you own. I still haven't added all my owned-not read to GR. I have a computer program where I track them, so they are logged, just not here.
So cool! Almost everything that I need to read this month fits in this weeks bingo stamp, yippee!I'll be reading
for this week's fantasy-paranormal read.
This week looks like this so far...Week 8: Fantasy Paranormal, G15

Thanks. Was a bunch if work but so worth it. I am thinking of setting up folders so I know which floor of my house to look for a book.
LOL! I laugh, but I actually make note in my library program where my book is located. When you have more than will fit on a single bookshelf, it's necessary. ;)
i finished my Supernatural read
**** 09/12/11This book was so unexpected....i mean so many things happened that i was thinking would be not possible and the book ending was just super. I cant wait how Rose gets herself out of this one.
Man, that series had me happy, angry, anxious ... really fun read. Hope you guys enjoy the next/last one too.
im done :) for this week's read
08/12/11 ***With this last book i was really disappointed, because the other two books were much better. In this book she is fighting with her own fears and it seems to me there isnt answer for her fears and thats the part i didnt like. There wasnt a way out for her and that made me feel a little sad.
OK, I decided on
and I've already started it :D
Fantasy Paranormal Shelf 13/9/11 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
I've seen lots of negative reviews about Dmitri over the past 3 books and now we get his story in a very interesting way. I myself never minded Dmitri's attitude to Elena.
Honour is a Hunter who was attacked by vampires playing a deadly game, orchestrated by a pycho.
Two years later and Dmitri's and Honour's paths cross and he is angry that all the vamps haven't been punished yet, so decides to take over the case.
Like all Nalini's books there is more than one plotline happening, but for me the most intriguing is Dimitri's past history.
I think Dmitri and Honour will be great together and I look forward to seeing all the girls get together in future books.
Fantasy supernatural: The Mane Squeeze Finished 9/13 ***
This series is light-hearted. Goofy. Silly. A fun read.
Zaanodes, which character did you like best?
Finished up
09/13 ★ ★ ★ ★Oh what fun! Many reviewers of this story commented on how this book made them laugh out loud, and I have to count myself in with the group. I was working so hard on not laughing out loud while reading on a break that coworkers were giving me some strange looks. :) The banter between Atticus and his dog Oberon was classic.
Some good foundation for development with future characters happened here. There was quite a bit of history thrown at the reader in this book but I never felt confused by it. It was done in a 'well there you have it' kind of way that although you didn't disregard the information, you got the feeling that life would not end if you flunked the Celtic Pantheon quiz.
This was a great start to a series and I am looking forward to the next!
Check us out! 4 down baby =DWeek 8: Fantasy Paranormal, G15

Lord! It's like a miracle that I could even post my review. My puter is working at about the speed of smell right now. Gah!
Yay Sandra! I can't wait for Dmitri. I agree, I kinda liked his bully-you attitude toward Elena. Made him stand out and also showed his concern for Raph. Can't wait to read that one soon.
Glad you liked Hounded Dana, it was a toss up whether to read that or Archangel's Blade. Looking forward to the Iron Druids.I think you'll like Dmitri more than before, Steph, at least I hope so :)
:) Looking forward to finding out.

I am looking forward to Dee Ann and Ric, though.
