I do only read fantasy/horror books now. Once over it was just horror I did try other genre's but they dont engage me. So pleased my blog is liked too, my crafting hobby probably had an influence on it being girlie I don't keep a list of the books I read normally throughout the year, though I do keep a list of what I've read, just not when I read them

I'm such a card making addict that I manage my own group and I blog about it Got into it over 5 years ago and it's been none stop since. I've not got loads of crafting stuff, but I do have three little draw sets and a box full Here's the link to my crafting blog, I chat about my charity cards on there as well - http://croftcrafts.blogspot.com/

I went into my local library yesterday and there are even less books in it now! Its useless, hardly anything in the fantasy/sci fi section

This series was started about 5 years ago, and I feel other authors have read it and tried to copy the format Not that I think they've achieved the same feel of this series, but I suppose thats an indication of how much fun this series is I've just added a review for her first book on my blog too

I didnt realise she wrote under another name, hopefully I'll get to check those books out here is a link to a description about A Madness of Angels http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/g/kate-griffin/madness-of-angels.htm

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book again, here is a link to my review - http://croftfantasyreads.blogspot.com/2010/03/dead-witch-walking-kim-harrison.html Im reading The Good,The Bad and The Undead Kim Harrison

I'm very much not into gore either. Even in horror movies, I prefer disturbing to chain saw type movies I don't mind a little bit of blood, because you expect that in horror. But when there is not story, what is the point, how is it scary

Are there any other card making addicts here

My to read pile is not that large. However, I can find reading a chore if I am not finding the book engaging

I got her first book A Madness of Angels And waiting for her next book to come out later this year It's an unusual urban wizard story, that uses the city as a source of magic. I found it a little difficult to get into at first because it also deals with multiple personalities But once I got use to that, I found the story quite enjoyable

I'm the same, I get so frustrated waiting for the next book too

I prefer Harry Potter

I've an habit of following a few fantasy series One of the problems I do have though. Is I may have read a first book through the library, liked it, then bought the rest. But not gotten around to getting book one! I always mean to get these first books, because otherwise I wont re-read the series

I read this a few years ago and dont have the books now. But I remember the first two books were quite good, but I was disappointed in the last two

So which authors would you say do this the most with their books?

I would like to re-read this series, but I dont have book 1 as I read that through a library run reading group. So I need to get book 1 before I could revisit this series.

Since I'm relatively new I will not bother mentioning what else I've read up to this point Will start from now March - Dead Witch Walking - Kim Harrison Will post a link to a review when read

I agree with you there

There are a few more authors I'd like to ask about please I've not read anything by them and was considering their books Michelle Sagara Faith Hunter Jenna Black Aliette de Bodard

Thanks for your feedback,much appreciated

I'm considering trying Vampire Academy by this author Has anyone read her books? Can you tell me a little about them?

I do this mostly, be nice to find somewhere even cheaper than Amazon to find new books

This author has two books out so far Scar Night Iron Angel I quite enjoyed Scar Night, found it quite promising However, Iron Angel didnt so much for me, I was quite disappointed this follow up book Has anyone else discovered this author?

It always interests me when you have two people read the same book and see if differently I much prefer Kim Harrison's writing style than Charlaine Harris. I find Harris' work entertaining, but I dont find them as involved or even as witty as Harrison's work. I've started reading Dead Witch Walking and was instantly reminded why I like the Morgan character so much. Harrison has written her with a wise ass humour with I do enjoy. And she gets into so much trouble Jenks also is one of my favourite characters, instantly you get his attitude and mischief

So far I think the Kate Daniels series is slightly better than The Edge series. I like the were characters in Kate Daniels series
