Ha! No need to buy the last Sookie book, my library has it on audiobook...I just need to get in line.

Me too. It is one of the best in the whole series. It was classic Spider stuff, very little love and Bria (Bria annoys me a little bit)

My library had the hardcover and audio on release day as well. I feel stupid for preordering it 2 months ago when I could have read it for free. It wasn't worth my audible credit :(
But I am glad it's over...although I know it's not really over, Charlaine Harris won't end this series like this.

Figured I'd stick with the Zeds, so I've started .

I've moved up on my TBR list and made sure it's on my Kindle. Grabbed the freebie last year, but haven't read it. I definitely will soon though.

I'm about to start Yay!!! But it's over 500 pages, which is both good and bad. LOL.

Lis -- how is the book going? ..."

Just finished and I can't believe the series is done... I don't want to spoil it for anyone that's anxiously waiting to read it, but I will stay tuned to see the comments.

Lis, I did hear somewhere that there might be something more to come. Don't quote me and I can't remember where I saw it.

Ack?! Really??

Lis did you like it?

I had hoped for a little more but maybe my expectations were set a little too high. I still had to start reading as soon as it was released and will probably continue if she adds a few more to the series.

I just finished and and loved both of them, 5 stars. I have only had four 5 star reads this year...

I'm almost finished with and I've started .

Maybe I will like Dead After Ever because I have no expectations! LOL. City of Ghosts is a great book. Nichole, the Dresden Files is a great series -- just be ware that the first two in the series are slow and not as good, but it is an amazing series. I love it, so it is worth sticking through!

I just finished I absolutely loved them but I forcing myself to take a break. I don't want to run out of these books! So I am going to read

Finished - it was a bit on the traumatic side.

Now listening to and reading

Iron Kissed definitely is traumatic. The next one is really good.

There is another book after Dead Ever After. After Dead is due out in October. Harris goes through each character and tells us what happens to them in the future. You can already pre-order on Amazon.

Read and now listening to

Glad you liked it Nicole, this is one of those series that keeps getting better. I've recommended it several times but its a tough one to get started with. Once you get past the first couple with all the world building dump, it's funny, clever, heart breaking and lots of twists. I love Jenks, too.

I've started cause I got the next one from the library.

Finished

Currently reading

Read and ; both decent zombie-world reads. I might'a liked the 2nd better if I'd waited a bit between books. The snark was less funny and more annoying to me in the 2nd one. I did love all the movie references though.

I'm not sure what to read next. I find myself blankly staring at my TBR list ... nothing is jumping out at me. :/

Read which was nice and which I loved the little beauty and the beast type.

On to , so far it's fun.

Oooh Val, The Captive series seems interesting! Just downloaded the first one on my kindle ;)

Yeah, it's a quick read but really worth your time. I've started another freebie (smashwords, allromance) and I like it so far.

*Waves hi* to Inga :D Welcome back!

The series re-read for 2013 is BDB so if you like you can also make some comments on that thread.

You can also join the BDB Challenge at the top of the group ;)

Hiya, Inga! :D

That was one of my favorites because I was so looking forward to Qhuinn and Blay finally getting together. ;) But, their story only; the rest was okay, but nothing overly special for me.

What's new on the market? How long do ya have? LOL! Tons of goodies out. I'm sure scrolling through this thread will provide some good suggestions for ya.

Yeah, I liked that it wasn't that long, I'm on the third one now. And I've just grabbed that freebie as well ;)

I don't read as fast as you do...the ending of the third book is a bit of a cliffhanger but I think the fourth is due around June.
As for Seer's Hope, I like that Hope is blind, it adds to the storytelling.

Val! You read much faster than I do! So far this year you've read 123 whilst I'm on 94!

Oh at least it's not too far away. Plus, I think the fourth one is the last?

You know, I'm not sure I've ever read a book with a blind main character (first person), I'd be very interested to read it :)

I'm only like 20% into the book but I love it. The only problem I have is that like in the twilight series...the author tells you that they are doing the horizontal tango but you don't get to actually read it. :(

On another note I have quite a few shorts in there because I want to dwindle my pile of kindle freebies. The book count should be closer to 93....so you're ahead.

What Seer's Hope? See that sex scene probably had good potential, seeing as she couldn't see and had to rely on other senses.

Nuh uh. I too have shorts! I am going to confess that when I read which is a compilation of the previously released 8 short epilogues, I also put each of the individual shorts on my read shelf as well, e.g. etc. If that makes sense. Basically I cheated ;)

I cheat too! If I read enough shorts in a month to add to 200 pages, I count them as 1 book.

Seer's Hope is another freebie I picked up. YA, a girl is lifted from her life in Seeview and dumped in another primitive world/reality. She manifests prophetic powers and must be tutored. It's still free on Amazon I think but also on Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/...

I've started . Not very far in yet, so still trying to remember where the last one left off. Already gigglin' over little Phineas, the horny unicorn.

Yeah, I grabbed Seer's Hope on Smashwords ;)

Steph, I'm the same as you. That's the one I'm up to but its been so long since I read #1 :(

Read and JC's books always leave you all warm and fuzzy...

Also read freebies and

Not sure what's up next...

How did you like ? I have that marked for a challenge.

It wasn't bad. It has a creative spin on the were panther origin with an old west setting. For me, some of the story just fell in place a little too easily but it was entertaining.

If I read one with 10 pages, I count it as a book! :P

Has anyone read some Maya Banks books, specifically the McCabe Trilogy, ? I'm an MB virgin, would anyone recommend?

Josie, the McCabe trilogy is the only books I've read from Maya Banks but I really liked them...also the fact that I rarely read historical novel either. I can't compare them with other historical novel as for quality but the McCabe brothers touched my heart.

Thanks Val :)

She's done a good job of filtering in things that happened in the first book, so I now remember. 1/2 through and it's just so-so for me. I'm finding I have to make myself read it. But, it is a quick read, so I guess that's a plus.

I haven't been able to find anything this month that's really grabbed me. Hate when that happens.

YES! I listened to book 1 last week and bought book 2 on audible a few days ago. It was really good. I am talking Lisa Kleypas HR good. I recommend it...highly recommended it.
Maya Banks HR is up there with Julie Garwood and Lisa Kleypas for me.

her other series is also excellent: Montgomerys & Armstrongs. i have read both of those as well. You can't go wrong with either.

Ezi high praise indeed! You have justified me getting them :D

Josie wrote: "Ezi high praise indeed! You have justified me getting them :D"

you will enjoy them. :)

I can't not get them now, can I lol? I'm going to splash out and buy the trilogy bundle on Amazon :P
I love Lisa Kleypas and Julie Garwood too! I feel like I can be open about my love for LK but JG, with her ultra cheesy historicals, I feel like is my secret (well not anymore!) guilty pleasure ;)

Finished - enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Now listening to .
