Good to see you back Jenny! I was starting to get a little worried!

[Midu]

Thanks,Jenny! Kari, will you please get the stamps?

[Kari]

I need reviews before I can get stamps... and im finishing my free space book as we speak. so we are currently not eligible for any of them.

[Midu]

awww man! :-(

[Kari]

Finished my free space book! 7/30/12 3 stars. It was an OK end to the trilogy, I wish the romance would have been played out better between Roiben and Kaye. As it was it felt like he was all remote, started telling her how much he loved her, and then was all remote again. I could never truly by into the romance as genuine. I did like the appearance of Val and Ravus though!

Kari, to get your free space stamp you need to request it in the Stamp Request Thread, with a link back to the above post.

[Kari]

I did.... if you look on the stampp request thread the link on there leads to this post. Since we have so many shelves going right now I figured it is easier for Steph not to wade through 6 shelves and it worked for our last stamp.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

OK I'll go check in case I missed it or I just forget that I saw it already. LOL. :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yep, Kari no worries, I just forgot :)

[Kari]

hahah good I was hoping I didn't forget to hit post or something in there! thanks for checking on it for me :) its kinda confusing with so many shelves going

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Review:
Much better than the previous installments. I just can't seem to decide whether I hate the fact that djinns can kick Jo's ass or like it that she manages to do fine, even when she has limits. On to the next one!

[Midu]

Jenny, you have to write your reviews in this thread. That is how we can get more stamps. Linking them won't do any good.

[Kari]

She didn't link them, she hasn't written them yet.

[Kari]

series catch up is the next shelf. I will be using . I can't wait to start this book! I loved . I'm hoping the 2nd one holds up to the first one!!!

Book/Author: Blameless by Gail Carriger
Shelf: Favorite-series
Read: 7/29/12
Rating: ★★★★★
Review: I really enjoyed the third book in the Parasol Protectorate series, better than the second in my opinion. The setting in an alternative Victorian London works very well and I feel is what makes the books about Alexia great. How the vampires and werewolves were incorporated into society but not in other countries, the visit to Italy providing a good contrast and new ways for Alexia and her friends to get in trouble :-)

Book/Author: Mind Games by Carolyn Crane
Shelf: New-2-you Series
Read: 8/3/12
Rating: ★★★★★
Review: Fund this an unusual idea for a book, it is Urban Fantasy but there is no paranormal in there - it's all about "highcaps" people with special powers. In other series these would be the Psychics or something. In Justine's world the Highcaps are feared for what they can do, well if people even believe they exist. As a hypochondriac what could Justine have to do with this world? She is drawn into the "disillusionist" world and all it's dangers. Well worth a read but don't expect vampires or werewolves!

[GinBee]

Okay, reviews up for New-2-you-series and Favourite-series.

I'm working on the rest - should have another 3 finished and up by the weekend :-)

[Kari]

thanks Jenny! I'm on my phone right now but as soon as I get home tonight I will post for stamps!!

I really wanted to love this book, but no. I kept getting confused. Which god is who? Who is evil? No wait...wasn't he good? Okay which one of you has the long black hair and who has the short hair? How the f**k do I pronounce that name?????

I love the Dark Hunter series, but was hoping for more, maybe the next one.

[Midu]

okay, don't we have all the letters for BINGO?
