StewiesMom: I think you won't be waiting too much longer for
It will be to you in no time . . . then the hard part of 'do I open early?'
can I put it down before the schedule starts . . . . . hum m m m
I have had mine for 24 hours & already want to put school work on the back burner and pick up the book - yet I dare do it
yay!! i recieved my book yesterday...im so excited, and the cover is so gorgeous in person...
right now im starting sisters red by jackson pearce and also rachel caines morganvilles series
The Morganville Vampires (Morganville Vampires Series #1 & 2)
I got my copy this morning! I'm very excited to start this book. The cover is beautiful.
I started at the beginning of the Devine series by P.C Cast a few days ago and am enjoying that right now.
Divine by Mistake (Devine Series)
I enjoy lots of different genres and will read just about anything that is recommended to me.
My copy of Vixen arrived today and I want to get started even though it is a physical book (love ebooks and my Nook.) I am going to wait until I finish the book I'm reading on the Nook before starting Vixen.
Hunt Through the Cradle of Fear
I liked the first book in the series better (and right now it is free), but this one isn't bad. Since each book, so far, is written by a different person it is possible I just prefer the first author's writing style. (I had this problem with a series of books I read as a kid; two authors switched back and forth under one pen name and I hated one of them. At least the one I preferred wrote most of the middle set of the series, my favorite part.) I think the chases and fights were slightly less outlandish in the first Hunt book, very slightly, though part of the reason I like these books so far is they are so unrealistic and ridiculous. None of these chases hold a candle to a slow car chase across Europe in Mary Stewart's classic Madam, Will You Talk?
While I love the scenery on the new print run of her books, the old 50s and 60s covers with the woman running, looking back over her shoulder were hilariously awful and I loved them.

StewiesMom, did you see that
Beautiful Darkness, the sequel to Beautiful Creatures, was released this month? I have it checked out of the library, but I have a few in the queue before I get to it (have to read Skippy Dies first, which is due sooner, and I might read the new Rick Riordan book The Lost Hero first as well....)
StewiesMom wrote:So, I've decided to re-read Beautiful Creatures again while waiting for my book to arrive! I'm enjoying it as much as I did the first time I read it.
Hi everyone,
I just registered too. My screen name there is kgiffin. I've never participated before so I'm a little nervous, but I have wanted to for a few years, so I think it will be a lot of fun! I am looking forward to it.

Hi you guys! I'm registered there, too! I also participated last year, however my father-in-law wound up in the hospital and I had to spend most of my time with family obligations. This year will be better. I'm going to achieve my goal this year no matter what. I have the same name at NanoWriMo as here. I would love to have moral support from your guys and of course I'm willing to give it, too. xo
