Thanks for putting my comp on your blog!
WOW you read some great books this week. I've got to read Stolen! I loved Bitten as well.
Have a great reading week!
I can wholeheartedly recommend Tigana - definitely stick with it. It's one of my favourite books.
Happy reading! :D
You had a fantastic week of reading. I too am wanting to read The Greatest Knight. Have a wonderful week reading.
Mine is here: http://rundpinne.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-are-you-reading-monday_28.html
I like how you included discovered-last-week. Lovely idea.
Thanks Alaine - Stolen definitely expands on the world-building from Bitten
Maree - definitely sticking with Tiagana. I love me a nice big fantasy book
Thanks Jennifer, hopefully i can get my hands on it soon
Karen - it was one more way for me to keep track of where i heard of a good book from. And its always good to spread the news.
One of these days I need to read a book by Nalini Singh. Is there a "must read first" book of hers you'd suggest?
Mary, as far as i've checked she has two series running. Guild Hunter - which has Angel's Blood as the first book, the next one's out next year, so maybe you can wait and read this one later. That way you don't have to wait for book 2 for long
The other and more popular series is the Psy-Changeling Series with Slave to Sensation as the first book. Start with that one. The Series gets better as it progresses.
My reviews are one the links above.
Great, thanks!
I really want to read the Chadwick book also -- I read a lot of her books when I was younger and really enjoyed them!
Hi, K!
I really liked On the Edge, it's a fabulous start to Andrews' new series!
I really like Storm Born, too and can't wait to read Thorn Queen.
Happy reading! :)
I had to laugh about what you said about BITTEN. I thought is was extraordinary too.
man! you got a lot of reading done! i <3 your quote! sooo true!
Marie - I haven't read any Chadwick before, so this'll be a first for me
Wendy - I'm waiting to get my hands on On the Edge, glad you liked it. I'm going to start Thorn Queen today, cant wait to see what happens next
J Kaye - that book is an addiction for me.
Thanks Leslie - I finally managed to catch up on some of my reviews, and ended up reading the books all over again as well. I love that quote too
God! How do u read so many all together :()
For 1 week I read A thousand Splendid Suns... and now i m finally starting on the Lost Symbol :)
Now let me chk out the Willows thing :)
Veens - I didn't really read them all. Most were half written reviews that i finally posted..just skimmed those books a bit so i could finally post the reviews
Also, this was a real boring week - had nothing special to do.
There's lots of books on wowio, some really good ones.
Happy reading this week! :D
