[Lisa Kay]

**waves** Hey, Midu! How are you today?

[Midu]

i'm good! downloading books, of course! hehehe and how are you?

[Lisa Kay]

I'm doing okay, Midu. Went on a reading spree and got some challenges done. (We won't talk about the spending spree.) The library held me up on catching up on a few. Don't people know it is my library? LOL!

[Midu]

hehehe i guess they don't! get em on GR and we'll convince em!

[Lisa Kay]

LOL! Are you going to straighten them out for me, Midu? That would be great. ☺

[Midu]

i have scary cake pictures, y'know? lol

[Lisa Kay]

Yes, I saw them! They would work.

[Midu]

I've been working on this in my personal folder. I'm not really doing them in order or one per month. I'm just kinda filling in as I read books that fit.

Finished #4:
4. Read four books from your favorite series. They can either all be from different series
or the same one.

1 - Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs = 5/30/12
2 - Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs = 5/31/12
3 - Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs = 5/31/12
4 - Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs = 6/1/12

.. .

These are from the Mercy Thompson series. I don't know that this is my all-time favorite series but it's my favorite that I've read recently. I really enjoyed it.

[Lisa Kay]

Mini congrats, Cherie, for completing one. Love that series. ☺

Thanks!
I love Kelley Armstrong's Darkness Rising series, more so than Darkest Powers. I love how it works into The Women of the Otherworld series, too.

The Dresden Files series is my favourite series of all time. I'm now on book #13, Ghost Story. It's f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s! I think I've fallen for Harry Dresden...don't tell my husband.

Lover Reborn was good, but a bit of a let down. The Black Dagger Brotherhood series is one of my favs, but the characters were peeving me off in this story. Layla - Grrrr.

[Lisa Kay]

Oh, Angie, I just started The Dresden Files. I have lined up for a challenge this month. I ♥Harry♥ too! **sigh** LOL!

I'll have to check out the Darkness Rising. Thanks for the heads-up on that. ☺

[Lisa Kay]

Hey, Angie! Should I start with the Darkest Powers series first, or is it okay to jump into Darkness Rising?

[Angela]

You can start with Darkness Rising - its a YA series and a quick read, but it links to WOTO. I think in the next book, we'll connect with the WOTO characters. Darkest Powers has the same connection, but its not as interesting as Darkness Rising.

I really can't get enough of Harry. The audiobooks have me drooling every time I hear his voice (blush).

[Lisa Kay]

Thanks, for the info, Angie! (♥Harry♥) LOL!
