Paris (pah13) | 1183 comments Seriously...if ya'll need more books check out Valerie's updates daily in the free book thread. She definitely does a great job of feeding ones book hoarding habit.


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9661 comments Ha, Paris you are too good to me.

Lis | 4037 comments Very very dangerous! And you get that first book free then end up buying the next ones... Even if they are crazy WTH I'm I reading this for??? I just finished up with one of those this weekend.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit I read freebie GRINGA - In the Clutches of a Ruthless Drug Lord Book 1 by Eve Rabi then bought GRINGA - In the Clutches of a Ruthless Drug-Lord Book 2 by Eve Rabi GRINGA - In the Clutches of a Ruthless Drug-Lord Book 3 by Eve Rabi GRINGA - In the Clutches of a Ruthless Drug-Lord Book 4 by Eve Rabi . I have no words to explain why I just had to find out where this crazy storyline would go.

How is the Vampire Empire trilogy? I have the first one, but have yet to read it.


message 1109: by Lis (new)

Lis | 4037 comments It's pure UF steampunkish reading and I was sucked in right away, but I like darker series. There is a romance woven thru storyline, but it's not PNR.

Lol, I neglected to get it...oh well I have lots more.

Sandra | 25908 comments Started reading Rivers of London (Peter Grant, #1) by Ben Aaronovitch also known as Midnight Riot (Peter Grant, #1) by Ben Aaronovitch and it is very different to the rest of uf world. I definitely like it.

Lis | 4037 comments Josie the first three were soooo bad, in addition to the need for an editor all the words cut off the last 3-4 letters on the right side margin of the kindle page. So it was kind of fill in the blanks and I still kept reading. Hopefully it works better for you if you give it a try.

Jeann (Happy Indulgence)  (happyindulgence) | 1151 comments Just finished Windfall (Weather Warden, #4) by Rachel Caine which was as good as always.

Now reading The Last Echo (The Body Finder, #3) by Kimberly Derting


message 1116: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Just finished Chased by Moonlight (Moonlight , #2) by Nancy Gideon which was pretty good.

Got a couple left to read before the end of the month
Valiant (New Species, #3) by Laurann Dohner Damned by Blood (Faustin Bros, #3) by Evie Byrne Dark Warrior Unbroken (Talions, #2) by Alexis Morgan and Mark of the Demon (Kara Gillian, #1) by Diana Rowland I better hurry up :)


message 1117: by Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ (last edited Sep 27, 2012 06:39AM) (new)

Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9661 comments Oh Sandra, the Kara Gillian is a great little series, a bit quick to read. The writing is plain in the sense that there are no overlong descriptions and such but I like Kara as a summoner. Can't wait for the next book to come out in a few months.

Alexis Morgan's Paladin series is better than her Talion one. I don't know what it is with Laurann Dohner's books, I can't stop reading them...it's like popcorn.


message 1118: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Yes, I'm doing a re-read of all the Kara's in prep for #5, one a month :DDDD

I've started both Paladins & Talions and yes I agree about LD's books, I've got most of them, just need to slot them in. ROFL


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9661 comments I was browsing other people's reading challenge and saw someone reading Taunting Krell...a good story for a scarred hero, the beginning of the book was not very well done to introduce the heroine but it added spice to the plot. I wished there was more of them...how pathetic is that?

Sandra you kinda have an ab-luscious theme going on there...


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9661 comments Thank god for ebooks...can you believe reading those in paperback while in the subway?


Jeann (Happy Indulgence)  (happyindulgence) | 1151 comments LOL!!1 Give something for them to look at :)


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9661 comments Yeah, I'm one to talk with just finishing Archangel's Storm (Guild Hunter, #5) by Nalini Singh ...I'm no better.


Jeann (Happy Indulgence)  (happyindulgence) | 1151 comments I can't wait to read my paperbaack of Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling #1) by Nalini Singh :)

My cover is different, though.


Amy ~Lover of Books~ | 400 comments I started this last night:
Tiger's Destiny (The Tiger Saga, #4) by Colleen Houck

I'm already 120 pages in and it's really good so far!


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9661 comments Currently on Shadow Marked (Demon Bound, #1) by Anna J. Evans and I am having really mixed feelings about this book.

Yep, and my copy of Dark Warrior Unbroken is pb :DDD

Last month I did a challenge where I had lusciousness on the covers, and I had a few left-overs. ROFL

Yup, I'm playing the catch up game as I've just recently gotten into UF and PNR last year! Starting to read everyone's favourites :)

Only since last year?! You definitely are catching up. Good job!

Jeann (Happy Indulgence)  (happyindulgence) | 1151 comments Actually, I lie, I think it was when the 6th VA book came out which was late 2010 :) glad I've finally found a genre I love.

That's still not too long. I started about a year earlier than you. Like you, I'm glad I tried it out!


message 1135: by Jeann (Happy Indulgence) (last edited Sep 28, 2012 02:41PM) (new)

Jeann (Happy Indulgence)  (happyindulgence) | 1151 comments Yeah beforehand I think I was reading bestsellers and classics and whatever caught my eye at the bookstore. Now borders is closed :(

I always loved supernatural themed tv shows like Buffy, Supernatural, etc. so it's not a surprise that I love the books too.

Think it was actually Vampire Academy that got me into the genre, because I read Richelle Mead's Georgina Kincaid series after loving VA and then it all began...lol


message 1136: by Jean ~ Kindle Queen (new)

Jean ~ Kindle Queen (jkat9) | 370 comments I really miss Borders. : ( Especially those 40% off coupons they frequently sent out.

I used to read only fantasy, so urban fantasy wasn't a big stretch for me. I wasn't interested in it at all though, but one of my favorite authors (Patricia Briggs) started writing urban fantasy. I finally read Moon Called (Mercedes Thompson, #1) by Patricia Briggs because I got tired of waiting for her to write another fantasy book. The rest is history...

Vampire Academy is at the top of my TBR list. I really need to get to that series. So many good series out there and not enough reading time.

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments I skipped #2, not sure why I did that. I liked Whispers.


message 1144: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Well, Moon Over Soho was worth reading, but there were a couple of things that bugged me about it. Still I gave it ★★★★


message 1145: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments That is how I felt about 1 and 3, the humor is great and I love the characters.
