    246- Carinians Seeker - T J Michaels

     

    recommendations from Charm (she has a much better review I won't even attempt to re do here)

     

    247 - Vampire Shift - Tim O'Rourke

     

    This is the second part of this series (first below) and its not too bad (hence me getting the second part) set in the Uk for a change and features female policeman who becomes mixed up in mysterious shennanigans

     

    248 - Storm Heart - Thea Harrison

     

    second part of this series love it, shapeshifters, vampires and variuos races violence and romance very good (get it Charm -mwah ha ha ha)

     

    249 - Darkness Rising (Dark angel 2) - Keri Arthur

     

    I am a big fan of Keri Arthur this is a new series great so far.

     

    250 - Vampire Wake - Tim O'Rourke

     

    see above (good new fairly cheap series on kindle)

     

     

    Did I do a review of Carinian's Seeker? I don't remember :huh: Seems so long ago now. Did you like it though? You forgot to say if you did you twit! :giggle2:

     

    Quite fancy the Tim O'Rourke reads set in the UK, even more so that they're cheap. Haven't read anything by Keri Arthur (I don't think) but I dare say I will now!

     

    No doubt I'll get the Thea Harrison ones too ... damn you woman ... I will have my revenge! :P

    I never did too well with Hussey's Witchfinder series. I was really looking forward to it because Through A Glass, Darkly is one of my favourite books ever, but I found the first Witchfinder book a real struggle and never finished it. I hope you get on better with it than I did :)

     

    Don't say that, my mojo is waning again and I'm having to force myself to read this last couple of days so I hope the book picks up! :blush:

    Just added the latest two I've read in the Midnight Breed series to my read list, Shades of Midnight and Taken by Midnight by Lara Adrian; both very enjoyable indeed. Have gotten Witchfinder: Dawn of the Demontide by William Hussey out to read but haven't actually started it - really need to get those xmas cards finished! ;)

    Just added another two to my read list:

     

    Tina Folsom - A Touch Of Greek (Out of Olympus #1) 7/10

    ... The start of another adult/paranormal/fantasy series, this time about greek gods. Not too bad actually, will probably read more.

     

    T J Micheals - Carinian's Seeker: Vampire Council of Ethics bk 1 8/10

    ... I stumbled on this by accident and am glad I did. Yes, it's another adult/paranormal/romance (what can I say? My mojo is happy :blush:) but this time there was a pretty decent storyline so I'm sure the sequels will accidently download onto my kindle sometime .... soon .... *coughtodaycough*

    I've already got the Patricia Briggs on my wishlist, and I read the first one of the Big Bad Wolf Series a little while back when you recommended it, so I've got those on my wishlist as well!

     

    Good to hear! They just get better and better. Heather is also a lovely author who actually responds to enquirys ;)

     

     

    And this when you have problems with your mojo...?! ;)

     

    Well, that was all since the beginning of Sept. I've also to add another two :blush: I do have to say though, they're all easy reads, nothing too taxing and I kinda know what to expect. But I'm really not in the mood for heavy reading at the min so, what mojo wants, mojo gets ;)

     

    Whistling casually I am popping onto Amazon to look at the books....only looking mind :ph34r:

     

    Check out Carinian's Seeker by T J Micheals - another guilty pleasure read that I think you'll like ;)

     

    Did I say that out loud???? :o *slowly walks away whistling with hands behind back*

    Oh I agree totally (dam that easy Kindle) glad you liked the Kresley Cole brill escapist stuff and am looking forward to Lothaire next year its on my wish list already :rolleyes:

     

    Ohhhh yes, I'll definitely be getting Lothaire's story when it comes out, can't wait! ;)

     

    :lurker: I'm not looking at the above posts until after Christmas when I have time to buy and read more books :giggle2:

     

    Awww, are you suuurree? I think you'd really like the Patrica Briggs books and the Heather Killough Walden's sexy Big Bad Wolf Series! Full to the brim with gorgeous werewolves, it has all the elements of a good supe series including witches, magic and vampires! ;)

     

    I've just added another to my read list:

     

    Born To Darkness; Book 1 in the Immortal Destiny Series by Lorraine Kennedy 6/10

    ... It wasn't rocket science and it's not particularly well written. But, I liked the characters and it does have potential to be a great series, so I will probably read more of these books.

    I see you've been trawling Amazon again my dear? I think we're both as bad as each other! :giggle2: Mind you, you definitely win when it comes to sheer volume, I'm sure your bank manager loves you! *bows in respect* ;)

     

    Glad you're enjoying your kindle and reading hun :hug:

    I haven't been on here or checking in in way too long, sorry folks! :blush: So, I figure it's time to update my books before I completely loose track. My mojo left me for a bit so just a few books to add with a few comments :)

     

    Erica Spindler - Blood Vines 7/10 ..... A bit slow to start but picked up.

     

    Patricia Briggs - Moon Called 8/10

    Patricia Briggs - Blood Bound 8/10

    Patricia Briggs - Iron Kissed 9/10

    .... Loved this series and will definitely be reading more! Lots of action plots and plenty of likeable characters.

     

    Kresley Cole - A Hunger Like No Other 7/10

    Kresley Cole - No Rest For The Wicked 8/10

    Kresley Cole - Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night 8/10

    Kresley Cole - Dark Deeds at Night's Edge 9/10

    Kresley Cole - Dark Desires After Dusk 10/10

    Kresley Cole - Kiss Of A Demon King 8/10

    Kresley Cole - Pleasures of a Dark Prince 9/10

    Kresley Cole - Demon From The Dark 7/10

    Kresley Cole - Dreams of a Dark Warrior 7/10

    .. Again, really enjoyed this series and would be one of my favourites. Ubersexy characters with action packed tales, cannot wait for the next to be released!

     

    Christine Feehan - Dark Magic 7/10 ... Guilty pleasure books! Not fantastic storylines but love the characters.

     

    Kim Harrison - Dead Witch Walking 7/10 ... Waning mojo hindered this read. Good book though, slightly different take on things but I did end up enjoying it and will read more of the series.

     

    Heather Killough-Walden - Always Angel 9/10 ... An author who never disappoints me. Plenty of thrills and great storylines.

     

    Felicity Heaton - Her Dark Angel 6/10 .... Slightly disappointed with this considering I loved her Prophecy series so much. Will still probably read more of the series, my experience tells me not all books in the one series are outstanding! ;)

     

    Lights, Camera, Monsters: Monsters in Hollywood 4/10 ... Likeable enough characters but not much of a storyline. Basically just sex, well written sex mind you but did get a bit boring after a while.

     

    This all takes me up to a grand total of 105 books this year so far, I've surpassed my 100 book target! :yahoo: I do put my kindle down as the reason for so many reads (agree pickle? :giggle: ) , it's so easy to use and easy to get good books at a good price! ;)

    I am not sure which but one of these I have an extra copy which you are most welcome to I think it might be the last in the series...glad you are enjoying them ...oh guilty pleasures :D

     

    Aw fanks! But I think I have them all except Lothaire which is out next year. Now if you had a spare copy of Lothaire, I'd be very interested! :lol:

     

    So I read a few short stories from a collection of what do they call them 'Urban Fantasy' and have downloaded the new Rizzoli and Isles: Tess Gerritsen - The Silent Girl onto my kindle and I look forward to collapsing in bed tonight to read it :D

     

    Looking forward to hearing what you think of this, I've recently finished The Killing Place and really enjoyed it and definitely want The Silent Girl :)

    After loving The Shadow of the Wind I've gone for a change of pace so now reading Dark Lover by JR Ward (kindly swapped with Charm) which is looking good.

     

    Can't wait to see what you think of Dark Lover, hope you like it! :)

     

     

    Wandered into a newsagents today which often sells cheapish books, and found copies of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell and The Swan Thieves, brand new for 3 euro each!

     

    Looking forward to seeing what you think of The Swan Thieves. Since we both liked The Historian so much, it will be interesting to see how this one goes ;)

     

    I can't actually remember the last book I posted about in here, it must be a while since I was on here :blush: Now though, I'm reading the second book in a series I've started by Kresley Cole called No Rest For The Wicked, and enjoying it very much :D
