That's lucky! Would be awful if you'd had to push yourself through 5 bad ones. ;)

It's torture, ha ha! I should have learned to do that, but no. I just want to read everything at once! Although now I've actually had to order the whole Shifters series and I've soon collected the entire BDB. Couldn't stand it any longer!

Laura Lulu (lauralulu) | 1603 comments Ok, finally getting around to posting my review. :)

Blameless (The Parasol Protectorate, #3) by Gail Carriger finished Nov. 11 β˜…β˜…β˜�

I didn't like this one as much as the first 2, I kept having to make myself read it--it wasn't calling to me at all. I can't really say much without spoiling, so don't read on if you don't want little spoilers. :)

First of all, the only Conall we got was a drunk out-of-commission moron for most of the book. And we didn't get any Alexia/Conall interaction until the very end of the book--HELLO?!?! Their interactions are the only reason the 1st book was so good. So Carriger greatly cuts down on their interaction in the 2nd book, and eliminates it in the third. She lost me.

And secondly? He never apologized! How could she not have him say a simple "I'm sorry"? I was outraged at the end of the book. Alexia is supposed to be this tough, sensible woman, but she allowed him back without an actual apology. Ugh.

After reading my review back, I'm not sure it deserves 3 stars. ;)

message 154: by [deleted user] (new)

I've always wondered if Vampire Academy is as good as everyone says. I had it on my wishlist a while ago, but it kind of fell away during the years... But I know exactly what you mean. It's probably a good thing I don't have all the BDB books yet, or I'm pretty sure I'd still be reading them! Ha ha ;)


message 155: by [deleted user] (last edited Nov 18, 2010 08:48AM) (new)

Just finished my book for the Shifers shelf!


Shifters

Pride (Shifters, #3) by Rachel Vincent Pride by Rachel Vincent 18-11-2010 β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…Β½

I think this book's probably more of a 4,5 stars, but I just can't bring myself to give it 5. I was just too mad and frustrated! If I thought Rogue had my emotions spinning, it was nothing compared to this one! I just wanted to scratch someone. (Preferably Malone...)

It's lucky I had the day off, since I practically stayed up all night and had it in my hands again as soon as I woke up. If my heart hadn't ache for Fayhte and Marc before, it definitely would now. Can't wait for Prey to arrive!

(It better not be late ;)


message 156: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32586 comments Great review, Rebecca. I got so emotional reading Prey. Be ready with tissues in hand b/c it'll certainly be another emotional roller coaster ride.

Laura Lulu (lauralulu) | 1603 comments Rebecca & SabrinaFair--great reviews. And just wait...I just need to read the 6th and last book, Alpha, but so far, I was the most pissed off at Faythe in Prey, the 4th book. So yes, she does grow in some ways, and in others, she's still a selfish, spoiled, egocentric tabby princess, 5 books into it. So buckle your seat belts... ;)

Judithe | 6566 comments LOL! It makes me wonder if I REALLY want to start this series next year!

Sandra | 25885 comments I would think it would hard on the eyes.


message 164: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25885 comments Sarah, that's just terrible; it's amazing that you managed to finish it. I think I would of thrown in the towel and picked something else. Can't handle any thought of inbreeding & inappropriateness that way. At least now I know not to read it.

At least I'm sure you'll love Moon Called (Mercedes Thompson, #1) by Patricia Briggs , it's a great book.


message 165: by Judithe, Soap Operas never end.... (new)

Judithe | 6566 comments Ditto what Sandra said!

I was going to give it a try for one of next year's challenges (and one we can't change books on!)...have to rethink that!

Sarah, don't worry about reading anything for the Free Space, we already have that stamp. :)


message 169: by Laura Lulu (new)

Laura Lulu (lauralulu) | 1603 comments Of course, I just finished Succubus Shadows (Georgina Kincaid, #5) by Richelle Mead today and it's on the new shelf. Oh well. :)

I am going to read The Shadow Queen (The Black Jewels, #7) by Anne Bishop for Supernatural Romance.

LOL! I saw the movie and don't remember inbreeding issues.

Yeah, that almost happened to me last shelf with "Alpha"/shifters. Bummer. Know you like Anne Bishop's series though. :)

Laura Lulu (lauralulu) | 1603 comments Steph wrote: "LOL! I saw the movie and don't remember inbreeding issues. "

I never saw the movie, but that's a book where the consensus around GR is that the book is waaaaay better than the movie--not that that isn't usually the case, but I guess this one was glaringly so.

Steph wrote: "Yeah, that almost happened to me last shelf with "Alpha"/shifters. Bummer. Know you like Anne Bishop's series though. :) "

Yes, and I only had to go 2 pages in to find a book on my Dec. TBR. All I have left to read for November is a YA fantasy/dystopian book and a YA straight fantasy, so I had my fingers crossed for YA Fantasy to come up. :)


message 173: by [deleted user] (last edited Nov 22, 2010 09:59AM) (new)

I think I'll pick Kiss of Midnight for the Supernatural Romance shelf, hoping it arrives in time! :)

Yeah, I remember the movie being just ok. Might have been a dud, not sure. Definitely nothing amazing or I would've remembered more. LOL!

I was hoping for an UF shelf. :)

A book away from an episode of hoarders (fidgit77) | 740 comments Shelf: Shifters

Betrayalsβ˜…β˜…β˜�1/2

I'm really liking this series. I love the interaction between Dru and all the boys. I hated that it ended where it did but I do like the fact that you knew it was wrapping up to the end of this book. A good, natural pause. She drops some new clues and Dru gets more allies (we think) and a few new (possible) enemies. I don't trust Anna at all, just FYI.

**finished 11/22/10


A book away from an episode of hoarders (fidgit77) | 740 comments For the Supernatural Romance shelf I think I'm gonna read Torment. I'll let you know if I change my mind.

It feels like everyone's reading The Darkest Night now! Just because I (for some unknown reason) haven't started it yet and had planned to save it for next year, ha ha. I'll probably change that soon though... Don't know how long I can keep myself from it. ;)

Let us know how the green font works out. I read Boneshaker earlier in the year and the whole thing was printed in sepia colored ink. After a few pages, I didn't even notice it anymore.


message 180: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32586 comments Enjoy, Sabrina Fair! Love those Lords!

LOL, Rebecca. It's a conspiracy. Secretly luring you to the series. Hehe
