Shut Up & Read discussion

We will be started this series. Please feel free to join us and be sure to use spoiler brackets.

Woohoo!

Let me check on these...I know I can get them I just need to make sure there's no waiting list.

I may be interested in doing a re-read. When are we starting?

I got the first three. Waiting for the fourth one :)

The more the merrier Joni! Good question...when are you all planning on starting?

Do we want to start later in the week? Maybe Friday?

That works for me.

Oh. I might join you guys. I was thinking about getting rid of mine. This could be the last hurrah.

Mine are signed too. But, I kinda lost interest in the series.

Yes, join us Alyssia. I enjoyed the series up until #12 then it took a path I was not comfortable with.

I need to find mine. They are still in boxes after our move (hopefully never again!) Are we talking this coming Friday the 22nd?

I own up until 19, but I think I was in the middle of 16 when I stopped reading. I don't remember a lot of the later ones though. The early ones I've read several times.

Is this a re-read for everyone but me? I feel special :)

Yes, I believe it is. You are special :)

I have read 1-4. the rest will be new for me as well, Sheri.

Friday works for me guys!

It has been two years since I read them so almost like reading them for the first time.

but now i am addicted.....

Haha thanks! Looks like I have some catching up to do.

Morgan is a Bitch! I don't trust Aubrey.

I think I'm going to like Anita. I like her no-nonsense personality.

She is definitely a kick-ass Executioner/Animator!

Give me an Anita and Mercy sandwich with and side of Mac any day of the week.

She was pretty awesome for quite a while, definitely.

Zachary is an animator, but is he a vampire or human?

I'm thinking human...

Poor Philip!

the whole Zach thing always confused me. at one time i thought he was a zombie too

It was a little confusing. My cable is out so I am at McDonald's using WiFi to make my comments.

Edward is pretty cool.

On a side note, we went see IfI Stay today. It was very good. It stayed true to the book with only a few differences.

That's good to know. I've been trying to decide if I want to see it.

Where are you guys?

I finished up. What are y'all thinking of Anita Blake and Guilty Pleasures? Jean Claude used Anita but he did it for good reasons. Granted those reasons also benefited him. I think Jean Claude is Hot in a clearly Mr. Darcy way. Compared to the other vampires in this book, he is one of the better vampires.

We took a my daughter and a few friends of hers. They loved it! Those that didn't read the book wanted to or to read the next book.

I like Jean Claude as devious as he is, he seems to care for Anita.

Definitely! He was devious but it was to protect both of them.

Chapter 20

When do you ladies want to start the next one?

Did you finish it, Sheri?

Yep, I finished it Monday.

I am ready for book two

Sheri wrote: "Yep, I finished it Monday."

What did you think of it?

I liked it. Looking forward to more.

I agree with you and Alyssia that it's not really similar to Cassandra Palmer. I do see similarities (rat shifters - gross!), but the story line and mood of both is completely different.

Anita Blake has been compared to many other characters. I relate her strength to that of Mercy Thompson, but as I read further, she also reminds me a great deal to Riley Jenson by Keri Arthur.

AND MacKayla Lane as well, as she makes friend with her power within.

When do ya'll want to start?

I can start this one and/or Briggs whenever you all are ready.
