Good Job!! :D
Congrats on the stamp Power!
Hoooooorrrraaaaayyyyy!
I finished my Paranormal Mystery:
by D.D. Barant - ★★★★ (03/17/12)The plot thickens! Jace is still stranded in the Thropirelem world, when through a series of unfortunate events she finds herself in a different one, even more primitive and magical.
I'd forgotten Jace's smart mouth (not blabbermouth or chatterbox) and how much I enjoy her special brand of humor! Her banter with her lem partner Charlie is especially amusing and so are her comments about the newcomer in the series, Azura.
We get to learn a bit more about her past, while Jace chases bad guys, runs for her life and makes more difficult decisions about her future.
I'm looking forward to reading the next one!
Another one to add!

Cool! I've got some of those. I'll have to remember to ck out #1 soon. Good review, Thenia!
I can't believe how many pages of books there are for this shelf. Did anyone see
on the shelf? If it's on, I'll use it, otherwise I have my hot little hands on
.
Yes AH, OM is on the shelf - 3 people picked Magic :)
Hey all! Home from vacation! Finished my PN Mystery- Will put a review up tomorrow.For my Magic pick I will be reading
G' mornin! Welcome back, Shel! How was it? (vacation)AH...how do you get them so early?? (Just got notice that my copy of Fair Game is experiencing a few days' delay...)
I'll read
Sandra wrote: "Yes AH, OM is on the shelf - 3 people picked Magic :)"Thanks! I must have missed it.
Judithe - Was just putzing around, avoiding the housework, as usual. Besides all of us on this side of the globe start chanting shelf, shelf, shelf around Friday night.
Judithe, my copy of FG was posted 16/3 so yours shouldn't be too much longer :)
I got a notice that it was delayed...new date 3/18~ at the earliest for posting...sigh.AH...meant the books...Chasing Magic isn't due to ship for me until April...Fair Game is delayed...sob.
I was online last night, but my oh-so-wonderful sister sent me a little "Why don't you try Pinterest" mail...and spent WAY too much time poking around the net. Now gotta get caught up on GR mail, too. (Read first? Cook? Ha. Surf more? Actually do some housework? Double Ha.)
Mwah. Off to bingo stats...
Done.So, we've got three-in-a-row, and this shelf doesn't make a winner (for us or anyone else).
Teams 2 (needs Angels), 10 (needs 2011) and 12 (needs 2011 OR post-apocalyptic) have four-in-a-row lined up. Fingers crossed for shelves more beneficial to us! LOL!
Chasing Magic doesn't come out til the end of June. It's Sacrificial Magic that comes out Mar27. Why is Fair Game delayed? That sucks.
*head slap* That's right...I'll get them straight once I have one in my hands!Don't know about FG...but has been "upgraded" to "Shipping soon" ~ Get it in the box and out the door to me already!!!!!
SM is scheduled for 4/5~7...maybe it'll get bumped up...need some TERRIBLE!!!!
Hi team!Finally finished my book and will put up the review tomorrow as early as possible.
Yay, Tania! Looking forward to it!

Review:
Charley Davidson is a grim reaper; the grim reaper to be exact. She is the portal or the "light" which dead people can pass through. Charley is also a private investigator and helps her uncle Bob (a detective) solve crimes. Her gift is particularly helpful when solving murders, as she interacts and solves the murders with the help of the dearly departed. In addition, she is also haunted by a supernatural entity who just happens to be extremely hot!
This first novel in the Charley Davidson series contains the perfect combination of humor, wittiness, suspense, and mystery. There is also romantic tension between our heroin and numerous possibilities, though only enough to wet the palette.
This book was a pleasant read and I can't wait to see what the author has in store for such a "quirky" main character.
Review for my Paranormal Mystery book:
A Witch in Time (A Bewitching Mystery, #6)
by Madelyn Alt - ★★★✩✩ (03/15/2012)
This is the 6th book in the series, and while it was not one of my favorites, it was a great vacation read for me. Maggie O’Neil, Stoneybrooks newest witch is as usual up to her eyes in trouble of the paranormal (and not so paranormal) kind. This book was a bit different in that it seemed to deal with a bit less mystery than usual, but I enjoyed following Maggie and her developing romance with the sexy Marcus. While this isn’t a big thinker of a book, it was a pleasant and quick read, and I will read # 7 in the series when I get my hands on it!

Finished my Magic pick... Review to follow!
Finished my Magic shelf read 3/22/12
- 4 StarsI am really enjoying Thea Harrison's Elder Race series. This book picks up right after the events of Serpent's Kiss. Khalil the Djinn has been hanging around Grace ever since he brought Carling and Rune to her. Khalil is very old and powerful and he is extremely fascinated by Grace. As a bonus, he is great with her niece and nephew, too. Grace is coming into her powers as an Oracle. She is struggling to make ends meet and has very little resources available.
I liked Khalil's back story. It was very interesting to learn about the djinn, their powers, and their hierarchy. Khalil was quite funny when he decided to date Grace. Grace's connection to Khalil was also very special. Ms. Harrison writes very steamy djinn sex. It's not as good as the dragon sex in Dragon Bound, but it comes close.

★★★.5✩ 3/20/12Lie to me baby, I like it, not.
This is the tale of Gideon, keeper of Lies, and Scarlet, keeper of Nightmares. Both of them have a "truth" problem, though Gideon's is more obvious than Scarlet's. From the previous book, we (the reading audience) knew this pair was meant to be, in some way/shape/form, but the fun is in seeing how they get there. Scarlet's smellie-rellies throw lots of confusion in the works, but in the end...well, ya know.
This was a fun, light read and I'm looking forward to the next one...getting closer to the character I most want to read about!
Hmmm....have to get back to Elder Race soon...love djinn!
I think I read the first book in LOTU a long time ago. I never read the next book - just never got around to it. Too many other shiny new books.
Yeah...I got sucked into it in a challenge thing...enjoy them, though not on the pre-order list (though can't wait to get a hold of Paris' story...)
Hi team!Finished "Hex Hall" my magic read. On the way to the movies with the family, then dinner. Will post my review tonight.
I am leaving for our anniversary vacation tomorrow afternoon for 2 weeks. Yee haw! Will still complete my reviews etc. no matter what!
I'll be reading
. I decided that it had to be the oldest book on the reading next list.
Review for my Magic book:
Moon Called (Mercy Thompson #1)
byPatricia Briggs
★★★★✩ (03/21/2012)
This is the first of Patricia Briggs “Mercy Thompson” series. This one had been on my “TBR and I already own it” for well over a year, but just kept getting pushed aside for one reason or another. (It has actually traveled on several vacations with me, to no avail!) Well I am glad that it finally made it to the top of the list! I enjoyed it immensely!
Mercy is the only known “walker”, a part human who can change form at will to a Coyote. Raised by werewolves, Mercy has an interesting past, and lives her life with one foot in the “human” world, the other in the supernatural. She is a likable heroine, who has spunk, smarts and courage, without becoming to perfect. The point of view that she brings, being not 100% part of any one group was refreshing to me, giving a new spin on what can at times be an old subject.
I really enjoyed Ms. Briggs writing- I will admit that since starting this book I read a review on her Alpha and Omega series whit I previously had not really planned on reading, and have already decided that they all need to join my TBR mountain… preferably towards the top! Will be moving on within this series immediately if not sooner!
Shelskharma, if you're going to read Alpha & Omega, start with the short in
as it is really the first 100 pages or so of
Ok, good to know Sandra- Not there yet, but they are going onto my mountain!
No worries, as long as it is on the list. LOL
Completed my magic shelf read,

Review:
I really enjoyed this first installment of the "Hex Hall" series. What a great surprise!
The author provided great characters, an amazing storyline, a cool but creepy environment and blended it all together to make a great and enjoyable read.
We are introduced to the main character, Sophie, who has been raised by her mother and unfortunately has no idea what she's doing when it comes to being a witch. After numerous "issues" with magic, she creates a love spell which lands her into Hex Hall.
Without giving too much away; the novel follows Sophie and other "mystical" creatures such as werewolves, fairies, shapeshifters and her best friend a vampire. The purpose of Hex Hall is to offer the guidance and education which seems to have been lacking in its students prior to their arrival.
We follow the trials and tribulations as Sophie comes into her own, and eventually fights the good fight and learns more about her heritage.
This book kept me engaged, invested and wanting more. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I'm hoping book 2 is just as enjoyable!
