Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Sherrilyn Kenyon aka Kinley McGregor


April's Featured Author is Sherrilyn Kenyon. In the past two years, her books have claimed New York Times #1 spot ten times. This extraordinary bestseller continues to top every genre she writes. With more than 20 million copies of her books in print in over 30 countries, her current series include: The Dark-Hunters, The League, Lords of Avalon, BAD Agency and the forthcoming Nevermore and Chronicles of Nick.

Challenge Task: Read one book written by our featured author
Challenge Duration: The whole month

To sign up:
Post your interest and the book you are planning to read.

You must also signify if you are:
A - I'm a big fan! I'm excited to read another of her books.
B - Familiar with her work, and wouldn't mind reading her again.
C - Totally new to this author. Will see how I like it.
D - Didn't like the last one I've read, but willing to give it another chance.

To complete:
Post the date when you've completed your book.

You must also say if, after reading:
A - would definitely look at her other books, since I've enjoyed this one very much.
B - could take it or leave it. Was not an unpleasant experience but I'm not burning rubber to get to her other books.
C - Oh well, I tried. Definitely not my cup of tea.

A little review of the book read is welcomed but not required.

message 20: by Betty (new)

Betty (xbetty) Sounds good, I'm probably between A & B, just discovered her Dark Hunter Books. I was planning to reading Dance With The Devil next, so this is a good reason to bump it up my TBR list!


message 21: by Dee (last edited Mar 25, 2010 09:45AM) (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments i'm in - and i'm an A - not sure which one i'm going to read, but i'll probably count it towards my re-read an old favorite category for the month, since i've read all her books except the league series which doesn't interest me

Kelley (shewolf0316) | 0 comments Sherrilyn Kenyon aka Kinley McGregor

I don't know what book I'm going to try yet since I have quite a few of them, but I'm putting in my placeholder. I'm a B. I've read her a few times and enjoy her, but I don't drop everything when she has a new one come out, as is evidenced by the pile of her books I have sitting here waiting for me to read. LOL

If you plan to participate in monthly challenge and would like to cross challange...
- Lords of Avalon series -> category 8 fantasy romance
- Acheron -> category 1
- Dance With The Devil, Night Embrace, Acheron, Upon The Midnight Clear, Born of Night -> category 6
and quite a few of her books also fill criteria of category 7
I hope you'll find it useful.

______

For those who haven't read anything in Dark-Hunter series yet and plan to read Fantasy Lover:
Even though Fantasy Lover is known (and acknowledged) as first book in the series it's more of an introduction. Plot is more suited for a stand-alone and has very little in common with the series. However, there is a bunch of characters there that will pop out later in the series so it gives a reader more insight to them. First "proper" book is Night Pleasures.


message 45: by Lindy-Lane (last edited Apr 16, 2010 02:29PM) (new)

Lindy-Lane (moonbacklit) | 452 comments I'm in and I'm a "C"!

My choice for this month is:

Night Embrace

Night Embrace (Dark-Hunter, #3) by Sherrilyn Kenyon FINISHED 4.16

I am now an "A" - I will definitely look at her other books, since I've enjoyed this one very much.


message 46: by Leah (new)

Leah (leahkarge) This is perfect timing because I'm doing the April challenge and all the books I picked are by Sherrilyn Kenyon! So, I'm an A because I absolutely love Sherrilyn. I'm gonna say Acheron for this challenge because it's my favorite book :)
