Have you started reading Harry Potter Elisandra?"

Not yet, Next week I'll start the 1º, but is an audiobook so I can listen while doing other stuff,, it will be fast :) and the guy's voice is wonderfull,, is the same guy from Night Circus. I love his voice

[Heidi]

Ohh I still need to listen to Night Circus! Got to finish Linger first!

[Anagha Uppal]

If I ever get the book from the library, I'd love to finally read the Night Circus. I've heard so much about it! And it was on the Goodreads Choice Awards was it not?

[Heidi]

Yes it was Ana. I saw it profiled in a Costco magazine the other day! Plus it is a stand alone book.

are you liking Linger? How did you like Shiver?

[Cambria]

I have Hunger Games but my stinking e-reader wont let me connect to the internet to download it! grrrrrr. But I will get it on there this weekend and start it! Can't wait to chat with you all about it.
I also just got Destined... like the millionth book in the House of Night series. LOL. Anyone read that one yet?

Haven't read last HON yet....I'm on the fence about buying this one......Caught between curiosity and boredom.....interested in your thoughts once you get into it :D

[Cambria]

Yes, thats exactly how I felt. I din't have to buy it tho. A friend here in my town bought it and read it then lent it to me. LOL. She felt the same way about the previous books but actually said this one was better so I will give it a try! I will keep you posted!

[Becca]

Inside source :D Cool!!!!

[Heidi]

I read book one in HON and wasn't overly impressed so I haven't cared to buy anymore. If you guys want to venture into a couple of adult PNR try Jeaniene's Frost Night Huntress...Lila is swooning and dying over Bones right now and I recommend highly Daynda Jones. That lady rocks!

Book one is pretty slutty for ya...but I've gotten attached to the secondary characters :D ugh!!!!

[Mlpmom (Book Reviewer)]

I barely finished book one, it just wasn't for me. I mean talking about all that sexual stuff within the first chapter in a YA book? Really? I don't mind some things but I was sort of disgusted with it.

I stopped reading The House of night in the beginning of Hunted. I have the books up to Burned but haven't got back to the series yet...

I like the secondary characters too. And I hate Zoe! She is making me wanna through the book out the window! :P

[Heidi]

I agree with Ali...that first bit turned me off and I can say I just didn't like the book...another mean girls plot..I definitley don't want to continue with it because I have read some bad reviews and most people think the series has dragged on far too long.

On another note, I am getting ready to get my banner designed for my Clippings feature...I was wondering if you ladies would like to help?,
What I would love is if you could take a few words or phrases that mean something to you and type them up in a colorful decorative font and maybe add a few small pics if you want. Don't make them too big. Then I am going to get a banner desigmed with my kindle in the middle all the words and phrases and pics will be around it like a big colorful word collage.
I hope you guys will do it! I would love to have something from all my best reading buddies on my blog!
Veronica is rocking my new button btw...

[Mlpmom (Book Reviewer)]

I would love to help Heidi!
Is it okay if I came up with something for you tomorrow?

I have limited access to the computer right now, if not, that is okay too. Either way I am sure it will be wonderful!

[Heidi]

Ali anytime no hurry.

Oh,, I sure am,, *-* ,, I'm in the 3º book and I can't stop. I was to read the first and then go back to my TBR list, that WAS my plan, but I can't stop reading and Bones,, oh,, he,, odjk,,sorry,, I just went GAGA back there. What was I talking about? oh, right, NH. Yeah,, really good book;great series :)
My next series will be Daynda Jones. This decision is based only in your review of it,Heidi, cose it's so awesome :)

[Heidi]

Lila you will love Darynda Jones. I need to read book 2!

[Mlpmom (Book Reviewer)]

I read her novella and loved it so much I bought the first two books. I have the third pre-ordered as well just because I know I will love this series.

I really should read the first book. Maybe I will for the Ghostly Challenge.

[Natshane]

I can't wait for your new button Heidi!

[Heidi]

Natausha, the new button is up on my blog. Veronica did a great job revamping it!

Ali, you will love Darynda. I need to read book 2 soon before #3 releases!

[Cambria]

Yes! I loved the other characters but not Zoe too!! I was actaully hoping they would end the series but they haven't they keep dragging it out.

I actually wasn't going to read more but then I got hooked on the storyline with Stevie Rae and Rephaim and wanted to know what would happen.

And I think I am the only person out there that wanted her to be with Heath. LOL. I hated that she always has like 3 or 4 boyfriends. That is just gross. Well, now she doesn't have but the one and I am absolutely dreading that will change and Stark will get hurt. After everything he went through for her she better not hurt him. If she does I am done. LOL

I'm not the only Zoe (non)hater :) haven't liked hear from book one...unlike Rose fm VA, she hooked up with her teacher in a completely creepy way. Love Stevie Rae, Stark...really curious on their stories....hope the stop killing off peeps I like, lol

[Heidi]

Girls, I know you are all busy busy, Send me your words and phrases when you get a chance, if you don't have time to color and decorate them just send them and my designer can play with them. Thanks bunches!

[Cambria]

Great Heidi Thanks!!!! Will do tonight!

Yeah, I am a big stark fan. ;-) Thats why i am nervous for this next book bc if anything bad happens to him or if Zoe hurts him I will most likely quit reading. I really liked Heath and we know how that turned out. LOL.

I am heading over your blog right now, can't wait to see the revamp;D

[Anagha Uppal]

Hey guys we're nearing the end of the month! Got any nominations for Feb? We could do Catching Fire since a lot of us read Hunger Games. An indie choice might be Swirls by FA Hershey. It's on a blog tour right now so that might be fun (:

[Mlpmom (Book Reviewer)]

I know I need to read The World Among Us (actually I should start it soon if I can), the third in the Soul Screamers and I was thinking something on Netgalley but of course now I can't remember which book it was LOL!

I am up for something else too if none of those appeal to anyone else.

[Veronica]

I also have The World Among Us on my immediate to read list. So I am up for that too!

[Mlpmom (Book Reviewer)]

I think Heidi still needs to read it too so maybe we can start that one soon?

[Veronica]

Mlpmom wrote: "I think Heidi still needs to read it too so maybe we can start that one soon?"

I'd love to read with you guys! My tour stop is on Feb. 19th. When is yours?

[Anagha Uppal]

That's a great idea! I'm only interviewing the author though, so not read WAU. The Amulet of Samarkand is another idea. It's on NetGalley too

[Mlpmom (Book Reviewer)]

Mine isn't until March Veronica but I think she wants her questions (doing a character interview) before then.

Anagha I haven't heard that of that one yet. I will have to take a look at it.

Sounds cool.

Amulet was first published in 2003 has been reprinted lots of times by big publishers 'cause it's supposed to be really popular

[Heidi]

Hi everyone...I am so buried under books right I haven't even been able to finish HG hopefully this weekend. I have three tours coming up. Until Next Time, World Among Us and Pantheons plus several NG titles I have to get to I have Austnland, Pure, Graffiti Moon and Vanishing Game. That is what I have to read in the next couple of weeks.

[Veronica]

Heidi, I have to read Pure and The Vanishing Game too. I had Pure since November, it's time I read it. :P
Oh, btw what happened with the banner/button for the world among us?

[Heidi]

Beth didn't email you?As far as I know she loved it. I will follow up with her and make sure she contacts you. Thank you so much for doing that!

[Heidi]

I am going to start Pure next week. Yes we definitely need to get it read.

[Veronica]

Yes, contact her so I can send her the actual images and not just screen shots... :P I am glad she liked it.
I have to start Pure and The World Among Us, so I think I am going to put aside The Lord of the Rings, cause I am sure it's going to take a while to finish...

[Heidi]

I will do that! I am sorry she didnt follow up I sent her the screen shots and she put them on her blog. I thought she had emailed you and gotten the images.
LOTR is terrific but it will take awhile. I need to finish all my NG and tour books so I can finish my Stephen King!

[Veronica]

I am only on page 50 or something but I can tell it will take me some time to finish so I have to put it aside...for now! :) I really want to read Pure though, I really liked its blurb.

[Heidi]

I don't even remember what Pure is about. I have had so long!

[Veronica]

Heidi wrote: "I don't even remember what Pure is about. I have had so long!"

lol. I just read the blurb recently again, when I realised how long I had the book...

[Mlpmom (Book Reviewer)]

I think I will be slowly starting The World Among Us in bewteen reading other things.

I would love to have you guys read it with me! I want to make sure I get it done in plenty of time to get some questions sent over to Beth for the tour.

[Cambria]

Mlpmom - i already read The World Among Us so I can join the discussion. :-)

[Cambria]

I havent heard of Pure what is it about?

I've been seeing some great releases for spring.

I would really like to read

and I just got this afternoon from Netgalley. Its my first book from Netgalley. I am trying to get Endure (Need #4) and I havent heard anything and I am disappointed. Will Netgalley tell you no if you don't get it or do you just not hear anything?

[Heidi]

Yes they will send you a response either way. I haven't heard about Endure yet so I imagine they haven't sent out the responses. Sometimes they are slow like that. I am good with Juliet Immortal don't know anything about the other one. I honestly don't remember what Pure is about, like Veronica I have had it for way too long. I will have to go look...
