6. Finished .***

This is the latest in part two of a 6 or 7 book series. I liked it mostly because I already like the world. Wasn't one of my favorite in the series but, still it was pretty good.

7. Finished This is the lastest in the Kitty the Werewolf series. I consistanly enjoy these fun, fast moving books. ***

Now reading . This is book twelve in this series. Robert Jordan, the original author passed away and Brandon Sanderson is finishing the series. Both are good authors. Should be good, but whew it is 783 pages. Shouldn't I get extra credit or something!

Still reading "Gathering Storm" but picked up "Doomsday Can Wait" Book 2 in the Pheonix Chronicles.

8. Finshed . *** I really love the way this author writes. She mixes adventure with paranormal, with romance with erotica. This book is not a YA book.

9. Went on a paranormal romance binge here:
After finishing Doomsday... I decided I was in the mood for romance (maybe the valentine bug bit me). Anyway, enjoyed Lori Handland so much I tried out her Paranoral romance. This was better than I expected. Straight paranormal romance. ***

10. Finished **** Lilith Saint Crow (or Lili St Crow) is one of my very favorite authors. She does YA up right in my opinion. I loved Dru and her little crew! I have ordered Betrayals already! Cant wait!

11. Had so much fun with Rising Moon decided to keep up the valentine paranormal romance theme and gave a spin. I enjoyed it and loved the depiction of were's in this little tale. ***

12. Finished . I enjoy the Magic strikes series and this is a new world. Nice world development, interesting magic system and the romance is engaging. ***

13 Now Reading

13. Still working on , finished a quick graphic novel I have been waiting for ***

Also reading ,

I returned The Gathering Stormwithout finishing it. Onwards and upwards.

14. Finished "Magic Strikes". I continue to enjoy this world with its wierd take on vampires and the kick ass chick with the sword--and Curren. ***

Still working on Vampire a go go and Must Love Hellhounds. Also reading .

15. Completed . As soon as it came in from the library, I just couldn't stay on track with my other books. I had to read it. I really like the world as it develops and the charicters and suspense are great and intense and I care about these charicters. I can not wait for the next book due out this summer. Back to Vampire a go go. It snarky and easy reading.Vampire a Go-Go: A Novel

16 Completed .

Now working on , still slogging through , and

OK, I gave up on vampire a go go. I just wasnt feeling it.

17. Finished .** I liked it but it was a bit choppy and the love story wasnt' that believable. Yet, the world created in this book is interesting enough that I am going to read the next book. I have heard from others it is better.

18. Finished ***. Wasn't the best Saintcrow book I've read but enjoyed it. Love Kiss, Saul and Perry. Love the world.

Starting

19. Finished Apocalypse Happens. **** Yup, I really enjoy this authors writing. Great adventure, breathing charicters, sex and lust, and monsters and fairies, and lots of other supernatural charicters.

Going to focus on and

20. OK. I got a notice **** was in at the library and I picked up Saturday afternoon and finished it Saturday evening. Yup. I love LKH. I enjoyed it. I am sad to see this pretty much means cookiemonster isnt gunna join the fray, but oh well. Good fast addition the the Anita Blake-verse.

21. Finished ****

22. I enjoyed that so much I quickly knocked out the next in the series ****
Great world building and action and pace.

23. I finished ****. I love this charciter Cassiel. Her depths are just getting mined in this series and her guy is really attractive and dangerous, and yummy and I know I shouldn't compare this series with the weather warden series, but I like it better. I like her better.

Getting started on [image error] , wtih waiting in the wings.

24. Completed The Dead-Tossed Waves, . It was pretty good. ****

Back to [image error] Demon Bound

25. Completed [image error] Demon Bound. I really struggled to finish it. But the very end was interesting to get me interested in the next book. I think they spent too much time miscommunicating, but once they got busy and took on the demons at hand it was interesting. ***

Currently trying to read Naked Dragon. I am trying to hold out on my books til next month for book challanges, so this is an extra. Well the verbage is about to run me off If she writes man lance one more time I may throw the book across the room and dig into some of the books I am trying to hold off on such as .

OK. I returned Naked Dragon. Started Nightingale's Lament

26. I really loved Nightingale's Lament ! Some of the concepts in there like a brothel where you can magically sleep with any charicter from a book, or movie, well--I am just in awe. Snarky, dark and funny, but not HEA. ****.

Next up: First Lord's Fury

and Personal Demons

27. Well, Black Magic Sanction, came in at the library and truely I could not wait to plow through it. It was a little slow for me to remember whos who in the zoo but once it came back I was swept up and got very little sleep for two days as I finished it ! ****
Still reading both books mentioned above.

28. Knocked out Personal Demons. **** Fun, sexy, scary here and there, adventure, and just a fast moving story.

29. Slogged through . Loved the series but the last couple books in the series were just a little to long. I ended up reading the first sentence in paragraphs thorough portions that drug. But I did like the ending! ***

Currently reading and

30. Complete!!!

WOW!! ***** I do not give full five stars to many book but this book is great. It builds a new paradigm for supernatural folks. They are decendents of Lillith! My favorite goddess! Great story, great action, great worldbuilding, nice sexual tension.

31. Finished ****. It was a fun adventure in a fast moving magical world. Funny too.

Current read and boy is it good. I will probobly finish it tonight.

32 Yup!! I whipped right through this book. dark, bloody, funny, a grownup comic book antihero! Cant wait for the next one!!

33. Read Hawk & Fisher. 5/2/10 *** This was like reading "Clue" with werewolves vampires and a sucubus running around to really make things fun. Set in midevil type fantasy world.

34. Whipped right through (a most the nighter) The Mage in Black. I really like the story. Gave it 4 stars. Could be five but I am stingy with my five star ratings.

.

35. Completed Walking Dead***

36. Finished Bone Magic. ** I have read the whole series up to this point and will eventually read the next but this book was just ok. I had to make my self finish it. The action was not engaging.

ReVamped and Teeth of Beasts and Paths Not Taken

44. Finished up reading ReVamped***. It was pretty good. My only issue is women are fairly seriously objectified in this little ditty. Yet I still liked it. Look forward to seeing what the next book is like cause the big baddy is gunna be a women, a very powerful women.

45 Finished Poison Study**** The fantasy world created here came to life. A bit predictable , but cared anyway. The strenth was bringing the people forward and breathing life into them. The world also came it stark focus.
