Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

Thanks you guys.

I figured about the audiobooks, but I can't stand them anyway. (Somehow, I always fall asleep. The only one I could bear is Lolita, with Jeremy Irons reading, and I love his voice. xD)

What I want to know is--why don't they get say Sean Connery or Patrick Stewart or someone with a really, really, REALLY sexy voice to do some of these? Now I'd list to either of THEM read the NYC phone book for 15 hours. :oP

On the question about demons, many of the books mentioned here are great, but also, the other option is angels.


is a darn good book for angels.

I did the June challenge and had a lot of fun with it, so here goes… provided I get my hands on all of these, here’s my list

1. vampires - A Girl's Guide to Vampires by Katie MacAlister OR Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris

2. werewolves - Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs

3. shifters - Destiny Kills by Keri Arthur

4. gods/goddesses/immortals - The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter

5. demons/angels - Pleasure Unbound by Larissa Ione

6. witches/warlocks/sorcerers/mages - Dime Store Magic by Kelley Armstrong

7. fae/fairies -Bloodfever by Karen Marie Moning

8. aliens/space cowboys - Gabriel's Ghost by Linnea Sinclair OR Kiss of Midnight by Lara Adrian

9. psychics/ghosts/humans with paranormal abilities -Shadow Game by Christine Feehan or An Ice Cold Grave by Charlaine Harris

I second Lily on that series - absolutely loved it.

Finally I have it! I keep going through all my books, and I've found things I would rather read.


Revised and ready...I think.

I haven't participated in a challenge yet, but since I broke my leg Friday night and have a TON of books to read, and a ton of downtime, I think I will try this month. I will post my list soon.

Welcome, Amber!

(wincing in sympathy) OUCH Amber. Still, at least now you have the perfect excuse, right? How badly did you break it? (as in, clean break, compound, what?) And yes, we ARE nosey. :o) I've broken my ankle a couple (ok, 6 times for 1, 5 for the other) of times, so I know what its like.

Well I fell off the porch and hit the steps the wrong way, so they think (having trouble reading the xrays) I broke one of the long bones close to the ankle on the right side, to top it off I sprained the left ankle. And YES it is the perfect excuse! I just gotta quit taking the vicodine so I can stay awake long enough to read. lol

Ok here goes, this is my list for the challenge.

1. Vampires- Sunshine

2.Werewolf- Cry Wolf

3. Shifters- Night Watchor if you guys don't think that fits the bill, maybe Magic Bites

4. Gods/goddesses/immortals- The Darkest Night

5.Demons/Angels- Personal Demons

6. Witches/Warlocks/use magic- Like a Charm (not sure about this one)

7. Fae/Faries- Artemis Fowl

8. Aliens/Space cowboys- Wanderlust(I have been looking for an excuse to read this one)

9. Psychics/ghosts/humans with paranormal ability- Ill Wind or Mona Lisa Awakening

I chose Mona Lisa Awakening for my aliens/ space cowboys book. I'm starting to wonder if it'll count towards that category. Am I wrong in thinking that the Monere are aliens?

I might have to revise my list - I just picked up Christine Feehans new Drake Sister book Hidden Currents I'm such a huge fan of Feehan. I'm going to bed for now, so it'll have to wait till later.

Good luck everyone with July's challenge!

Yes they are aliens.

This selection could also be demons, and shapeshifters.

Sheesh, Michelle, you finished your first book fast.

I started my first book last night but didn't get to far since I needed to get some shut eye so I could get up for work! Responsibility sucks!

Hah! I'm so with you on that one. With my copy of Prey having finally arrived yesterday, I really wanted to call in sick today so I could lounge around the garden reading all day. Apparently though, they actually expected me to come in to work today. Pah... ;)

Hah! I'm so with you on that one. W..."

Do you remember that jingle "I don't wanna grow up...". Yep, I could totally relate, and I am really thinking I should have called in sick (why oh why did you put that thought in my head, DarkHeart?!).I mean my boss would never know he's not here, lol.

Oh well I'm already here I guess that would be a little hard to pull off. In the mean time I'm listening to JD Robb's book Naked in Death, although not Paranormal it's quite good. I'm hopeful that it will help the day go by fast, so that I can get home and finish Raine's story.

I'm about 100 pages into my first book, I hope to finish it today. I only read one book for last month's challenge (I read about 30 nonbook challenges), so I'm hoping to do better this month!

I'm sorry to hear that your poor baby isn't feeling well, but glad to hear that he seems to be getting better. I'm so jealous - not about the sick baby and lack of sleep part - that you're reading, while I'm sitting here a work wishing with all my heart that it was the weekend already...or at least 4:30 when I get off of work. I guess I'll just have to settle for a quick read during lunch time, where I'm off to now :)

Enjoy your lunch! And the book! It's a shame we always seem to be wishing the days away so we can get to the books quicker! It's an illness... Lol

Thanks!

I haven't started reading yet because I have Finger Lickin' Fifteen. Unless I can count Joyce Barnhardt as a demon. I hate that woman. HAHA But man, I just couldn't bare to wait to read this one. Come on... it's Stephanie Plum! You can't force a girl to wait to read Stephanie Plum. But I already know what book I'm reading first. It's sitting here waiting for me to finish up 15! :)

My plan for Saturday is to sit in my house and hide from the traffic. Sorry, I live way too close to DC to even contemplate venturing out.

Ok, I forced myself to finish this, even tho it was horribly edited. The premis was actually quite good, but the editing. . . It was bad enough that it actually interfered greatly with the story. I give the book 3 star because the story was that good. I have been known to knock off 3 or even 4 stars for the editing. In this case, I actually ADDED 2 stars for the story. If it hadn't been such an unusual and good premis, it would have rated only 1 star.

1. vampires- The Vampires Seduction by Raven Hart, or Fatal Infatuation by Melanie Nowak. 7/2
2. werewolf- Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs
3. shifter- Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh
4. gods/goddesses/immortals- The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter
5. demons/angels- Working for the Devil by Lilith Saintcrow or Iron Hunt by Marjorie M. Liu
6. witches/warlocks/sorcerers/mages- The Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
7. fae/fairies- Thorn Queen by Richelle Mead
8. aliens/space cowboys- Mona Lisa Awakening by Sunny
9. psychics/ghosts/humans with abilities - Ice Cold Grave by Charlaine Harris

I just finished Fatal Infatuation today 7/2.
I'm so glad that I decided to read this instead of Vampire Seduction as my vampire selction for this months challenge. I actually gave this one five stars. It does bring Twilight to mind as some have said, as there are some,but not many similarities between Cain, the main character in Fatal Infatuation, and Twilight's Edward. This is much darker, and more "grown up". I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of this series. I really think its unfortunate that Melanie Nowak's work hasn't received more attention. Hopefully that will change in the near future.
