Good Job!! :D
Thanks Steph!YAY!!!!
Welcome, Ladies! Congrats!
Sorry, I forgot to update, I finished my book for Goodreads Author,
, 4/17/2011, 3 stars.I liked this book and the series is becoming very interesting with the new developments.
I disliked a bit the heroine, she played hot and cold at the beginning and her reasons were a bit erratic.
I finished my GA book.
4/19 5 stars. Yet another great book that ties in with the other books in the series. I like how it was left with the beginning of the next story. Cant wait to start reading it :)
Yay!! Updated you both. Emily you're having a great run with IAD.I've changed my Favorite Supe book to
It's still dragons but a lot less angsty. I just wasn't in the mood to read the other right now.
I finished my goodread's author book today (4/19) and gave it 3 stars.Review:
This book dragged a bit. It really seemed like nothing much happened, sort like a filler book.
What I enjoyed:
* Keira and her family.
* Adam's surprise info.
* No love triangle.
* Finally getting some answers from Gigi.
What could have been better:
* Not much action.
* Too many characters.
* No real interest in the homeless plot line.
Yay!!!! No Love Triangle!!!! That's gotta be a plus :DOff to claim our GA stamp :)
I should be finished my Fav Supe book later today :)
I changed my Favorite Supe book to
, which is still fae.
I finished my Fav Supe book
on 4/17/12. I give it 4 stars. I liked the use of the Titanic for the setting (although that tragedy always brings tears to my eyes). Werewolves were portrayed as feral, without a lot of conscious control and I usually prefer when they are not portrayed as monsters (like in Patricia Brigg's books). But it was a nice YA romance.
Glad you enjoyed it Cathy. I steer clear of anything Titanic, just too sad for me. And I agree, I prefer thinking werewolves instead of mindless monsters. Still, it is a gorgeous cover :)
CONGRATULATIONS, Black Cats! You now have an updated BINGO card with a stamp on 'Goodreads Author'.

Good Job!! :D
Thanks Steph :)
Finished my Favorite Supe book today (4/21) and gave it 3 stars.Review:
This time around there was too much teenage angst as Meghan finds herself embroiled in another quest to save the Fae. I still love Grimalkin as he has his own agenda and rules (like most cats) and Leananside was an interesting new twist. I hate love triangles (and teenage ones are the very worst). Meghan seemed too passive overall this time.
Looks like there are 3 teams who can win this week, and none of them are us. :(
Favorite Supe Shelf 4/21/12 ★★★
This was a funny almost in a watching a train wreck way. The plot was silly the characters caricatured and yet I enjoyed it.
Our h is Justine, an immortal Guardian of the Goblet of Eternal Youth, her friend Theresa is named her successor, so gets to drink from said Goblet which turns her into a dragon who can't shift back, and they live in NY.
Our H is Derek La Valle, a Pretzel King (he invented no carb pretzels) and member of a Cursed family. At the age of 31 all male La Valle's die in horrible and mysterious circumstances.
Justine's mother was the previous Guardian and died protecting the Goblet, whose name is Mona, from Satan. Satan is a fabulous character and really made this book.
I'll be reading the next one in the series when I need a laugh.
Our latest shelf announcement sadly will be our last, as several teams have the opportunity to WIN Bingo, sadly we aren't one of them.Shelf is Popular Books Read in 2011
I'll be reading

It sure was fun, Emily, I always enjoy Bingo.You posted a Dark Hunter book and not IAD, so which book do you want to read?
Ill read this one... it is the next in my pile of books from the latest library run :)

I enjoyed this one, but for some reason couldn't get into the second at all.
Bummer that the game is almost over.I'm leaning towards
or
for the 2011 shelf, although I might surf the options some more.
Emily wrote: "how often do they do bingo? this was my 1st time"Well this was the 4th time we've run it. And it gets more popular every time. So we'll probably run it at least 3 times per yr and maybe 4, depending on how long the games last.

Sorry to hear that Diane, I think I'll leave it a while before I try the next one, I've already got all 4.
Sorry to hear that Bingo 4 is ending, already looking forward to R5, I'll be reading
for the last shelf.
I just finished
4/23. 5 stars. I love this series and will keep reading... hoopefully i will have a few new series for the next bingo.
2011 Shelf 24/4/12 ★★★★
I think this one was better than the first one, but it could be that I was more used to the world that Kevin created.
It takes place 3 weeks following Hounded and all the Gods & Goddesses are nervous following Atticus's assassination of Aenghus Óg and Bres. All the supe folk want someone killed and for him to leave them alone. Plus nearly everyone wants Thor dead asap.
This world works on quid pro quo so Atticus calls in favors and finds himself agreeing to favors in return. This time around with the local witch population decimated, a new nasty and deadly coven move in and try to take over. Fortunately, they try to take out Atticus and don't succeed. Then he realises he has a past with them from WWII Germany, and they have to go.
There is plenty of action and folklore and even the odd Shakespeare quote to keep everyone happy and I'm looking forward to the next instalment which I'm sure will feature Thor heavily as Hammered is the next book title.
I've finished
for Favorite Supe, 4/24/2012, 5 stars.This was the best book I've read by Patricia Briggs so far, it was perfect, not one sentence was superfluous, everything fit together and moved the story and character development along, there was a big twist at the end that changed the whole game for the next books. After River Marked I didn't expect much but this book blew me away and I'm really glad now that the author is taking one year per book to come up with a gem like this. I can wait, it's worth it! :)
Yay!! I gave it 5 stars as well, and for the same reasons. It just all seemed to come together, it was almost as if they are real people. LOL.
Ladies, we didn't win :( But it was a pleasure reading with you and increasing my tbr pile :))))
Hope you can come and join us for round 5 later in the year (prob Junish)
It was great reading with you too Sandra. Do we still finish the shelves?
Up to you Miss, but if you do read your last book, I'd like to see what you thought of it :)
I think I'll read it anyways, I like Sarah Dessen's style, she makes you care about the characters.
Good, I'll look out for your review then :)
It was fun even if we didn't win. Looking forward to next time.
Yep, me too :))
Sandra, I finished the last book, it was ok, with some sweet moments, but I couldn't connect to it much. 3 stars.
Good to know Miss, at least it wasn't a total loss :)See you around SOS and the next round of Bingo ;)
