Bonus Round

Book from a series I love: Shadows by Jennifer L Armentrout

09/10

This is probably cheating because I'm mixing different rounds to make up my 10 books ;)

It's ok to cheat now and then, I had to with some of mine. ;)

Yup, there are no rules against cheating, I'm not very strict lol :P

lol. I wanted to read 10 but I needed to mix them to get to that lol

I think we did a mix and match rule for one of the other challenges :/ But as challenge leader, that is fine by me :D hee hee

R - (Rachel Caine) Last Breath DONE
O - Opal Fire (Barbra Annino) DONE
M - Mockingjay DONE
A - (Amy Plum) Die for Me DONE
N - Nightshade DONE
C - Catching Fire DONE
E - Dragon Blues (Edie Ramer) DONE

BONUS:
A book from a series that you love:
DONE

Opal Fire looks more fun, but I have that Joe Konrath on my kindle so if you read it first, you can tell me if it's any good, hehehehe. ;o)

Not sure between the E's. Hmmm, I say Dragon Blues. :o)

I sooooo want to join up for a challenge again but I'm all over the shop with my reading lately and my focus is wavered to the point of ridiculousness. S'pose I could just do the LOVE challenge. I could certainly use distracting as my head keeps telling me to reread the Chicagoland Vamps series again.

Okay, I hunted through my Kindle to see what I have and have found enough to cover 'LOVE'.

Here goes:

L - by Kathy Love - DONE!
O - (speaks for itself) - DONE!
V - by Carrie Vaughn DONE!
E - by Elisabeth Naughton DONE!

And I'm going to use as my bonus book because it was full of romantic moments and lovey dovey ness that I jus know is waiting to blossom into something awesome.

omg Fangs for the Memories is brilliant!

Is it funny, Kay? I'm struggling to get into stuff at the moment.

Yes it is very funny. I have read the whole series and when I've read lots of serious, sad books I always go back and re-read this book. It makes me laugh so much and there's some great scenes ;) LOL

Ooooh, cool. I might bump it up to next then. :o)

It's really good I love it =)

Awesome! Thanks :) ....I will let you know how they are. I got all of these for Pixel of Ink! So thanks for showing me that! I love it! I don't think I'll ever be able to keep up with them! lol

Hehehehe, yep, I have around 150 PoI books on my Kindle. :o)

OMG I have so many.....I figure I'll get anything that I may read and if I don't like it....I can just delete it! lol

My thoughts exactly, hehehe.

One book down. Three to go. :o)

Yay! I have read two....six more to go! lol

Two down. Two to go. Just reading book 2 of Guild Hunter and I'll get back to it. :o)

Three down....five to go! lol I'm reading Morganville Vamps: Last Breath now.

Four down three to go! lol So, I had every intention of Reading Last Breath, but I went and sat outside for a bit and started reading Opal Fire and didn't stop after that lol...now I'm finished with it....and on to the next one. Hopefully it's Last Breath :\

Woo over half way finished 6/10

WoW! You're doing awesome Kay! lol I'm just at my half way point!...and don't know if I'll get to read this week...you know studying for the promotion test on Friday and all :\ blah ....not what I consider fun reading.

UPDATE

4 down 2 to go!

Finished , , ,

Still need to read, &

Just finished with so that's 3 down and 1 left to go. Have a different book to read first before I get to Marked, though. :o)

Go Julie! :) ...so really you're reading 5 books for sure this month not 4! :)

Um, I guess so, hehehe.

Five down! and Three to go! :) Plus I read the second book after Opal Fire! :) I know I'm supposed to only be studying this week....but I can't help myself! lol :\

Hehehe, you have as much will power as me. I've supposed to have been working every day this week, but because the kids are off school and I only have 1 here (which means no school run--yay!), I've been totally lazy and just read, read, and then read some more, lol. I'm pretty certain I've got through a book a day the last couple of days and I haven't been that work-lazy in ages. :o)

I know I know it's sad but not! (if that makes sense) lol Well, I have my test today so I won't have to be torn between studying and reading (not that there's really any competition between the two for me lol). I also have read a book a day the past few days! lol I read and then couldn't stop so I read the last two lol....so now I have to read the rest of my "challenge" books! :o)

Ok! 6 down and 2 to go! :) Woo Hoo!!! I'm on a roll...lol :o)

UPDATE

5 down 1 to go!

Finished , , , ,

Still need to read

So I can't think of a book for my Book based around Love. Do you think a Urban Fantasy book with romance in it could class for that category?

Only if the characters actually fall for one another, Kay. Otherwise, it's not officially love, right? Just attraction. Um ... how about ... gargh, I dunno. Most the romances I've read lately have been same old same old and I'm waiting to be hit with something fresh.

I'm just on my last book now. Not sure if I'll do the bonus lovalicious book. Might just read what I fancy then totally cheat by sneaking in and slapping up here if I happen across one that's oozing romance. ;o)

hmm I have no idea what to put. In the book I've just read the characters have fallen for each other you can tell but they aren't actually together yet so I don't think it counts.

I may have to fail the challenge just for that one category lol

Just keep reading, Kay, and then update if you happen across a book where the characters end up together at the end. You still have time.

Yea I know. I so should have read my ARC of this month instead of last month lol

That one would DEFFO have passed as romance, lol.

Yes it would have. Hmm maybe I should re-read LOL

Ha! What about Half Blood--is that romance? Maybe I can pull off the bonus read after all. ;o)

I would say definitely! There is a lot of romance in Half-Blood

Whooo. I'm sorted then. :o)

=D
I loved Half-Blood, it's brilliant!

So... (if that's the right book) and are good....I should read them???

I have yet to read Half Blood, Denae. But I read the prequel novella and enjoyed it, and I also read the first book in that authors other series Obsidian and it was pretty darn awesome.

Love Hide & Seek. Love Tripp Fox. He's a HAWT male lead for a book and a little bit naughty though ever so romantic. :o)
