I plan to join. I like the variety in color choices. I hope I can get all my reading done this month as I have a big move coming up in the middle and am making a lot of 3 hour drives back and forth. Of course, those are great for audiobooks, so I may choose a few of them.

Hi Elle! Which has been your favorite book in the series?

Probably The Twilight Before Christmas - I really enjoyed that book. The first one was a great introduction to that world but the second book I think really brought us into it!

I agree. The first two books have been my favorite so far. And I find I like the stores without the murder, but more of the suspense. However, I'm looking forward to seeing how each of the youngest 3 sisters gets together with her man. Especially since we already know who each is.

I'm not looking forward to the last though. I have heard pretty bad things about it unfortunately :(

I saw some harsh reviews as well. I'll be listening to all three on audiobook, so will speed up the narration on the last so I don't have to spend so much time on the drama and darkness.

I'm sure I'll be speed reading a few pages!

I just realized that I have the 5th and 6th books as audiobooks, but haven't gotten book 7 yet. So, I may just get the ebook so I can get through it more quickly.

My first book down! And it is full of Greek mythology.

I can't wait for the heat to break. I'm in Chicago and the forecast of 80s for next week sounds heavenly.

*looks outside at rain*

*looks outside at rain & WIND!*

A this current moment I can't actually see much of outside due to mist LOL

Well, its dark here but I can hear them both :D

Now I'm jealous.... I want a cool breeze, no humidity and 75-degree weather is that to much to ask? Instead I got no cool breeze, 60-75% humidity, & 90-99 degree weather :-(

unfortunately we are still quite warm (at least from northern ireland) so it's kinda icky out with the bad weather :(

Lara wrote: "I can't wait for the heat to break. I'm in Chicago and the forecast of 80s for next week sounds heavenly."

I am in the Twin Cities and it is much the same. I can't wait to turn off my air. It is bad enough that we are stuck inside during the winter, I hate being stuck inside during the summer too.

Well, its winter here so I've got all the cold you could want. LOL. 11C or 52F at the moment. 82% humidity.

We just had our third day of 100(+) degree F temps and tomorrow will be just as bad. We're due for a big drop on Sunday and I can't wait. That hot 80 degrees will feel cool after 4 days so much higher.
