Ann aka Iftcan (iftcan) | 2659 comments Mod
I'm actually behind in my reading. Here it is, Dec 2 and I'm not even half way through my first book. I should be half way through at least my second. Sigh, but Dec is such a hard month time wise. I spent the last 2 days helping Oz (my daughter, she participated in earlier challenges, for new comers) look for a new Christmas tree and doing shopping. Today is Som's (foreign exchange "granddaughter") birthday and we were doing some shopping for that. Sigh, her BIG present is still in transit. And, at least according to UPS has been in NC since 6 am the 30th. Can we all say NOT a happy camper right now?

I also am trying to get a quilt finished (its for my bed, but its supposed to be a present for hubby) and sewing on that is taking more time away from reading.

Sigh, gotta get buckled down and get some more reading done, as well as grocery shopping, sewing, and some time here REALLY soon, Oz and I have got to get together and get our annual 30 dozen (or so) cookies baked and then distributed.

WHAT AM I DOING READING POSTS?????? AARRRGGGHHHH, so much to do, so little time.

Hi Lara,
To add the filled in stars you type & # 9733 ;
except with no spaces. Type these characters multiple times to add the desired number of stars. And it looks like this: 鈽呪槄鈽. I don't know how to add the unfilled stars though.

A question for you- do you have an advanced copy of Linger (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #2) by Maggie Stiefvater ? I'm jealous- it does not come out until Oct 2010!


喈怉苍诲谤别补喈 (rosesrrblue) | 707 comments Hi Crystal,

See the "add book/author" and the "(some html is ok)" directly above the text box? Use those to enter links, pictures and edit your lists. Other then that all you need to do is type it up :)

Moon Awakening is copyrighted 2007 and has probably been on my bookshelf since late 2007/early 2008 which is around the time that I was really getting into urban style PNR and was leaving other sub-genres behind.

It's currently the only book in the series, but Book #2, Moon Craving, is coming out in Feb 2010.

That is so strange...I am sure you have heard of Sunny's Children of the moon series, the first book in the series is Mona Lisa Awakening and her second book is Mona Lisa Craving are the 3rd and 4th books by Monroe-- Blossoming and Darkening by chance? (Mona LiMona Lisa Blossoming Mona Lisa Darkening) Have you ready Sunny's series? are there any similarities?

well, I finally got enough time to get through my first book. (And the library sent me another gentle "reminder" today, so I had to put other things aside so that I could get it read.)

3) The Shaman鈥檚 Game by James D. Doss

This gets a nice solid 4 stars. I was so happy to have a "first in series" book that only had about half of the birthing problems that most books in that category have. Yes, there was some repetition of things that I got the FIRST 3 times they were mentioned. But not as much as for instance in Storm Front. (which I did love, btw.)

Cherra, I have NOT read the series of the same name by Sunny, but after checking the synopsis on Amazon, the two sound COMPLETELY different. The series by Lucy Monroe takes place in the Scotland Highlands in the past and is about a secret werewolf/shapeshifter tribe. It's about an English girl who is traded to one of the Scottish Lairds in marriage, then kidnapped before the wedding by a neighboring clan and discovers that both clans are secretly ruled by a werewolf people. She gets caught up in trying to prevent a war between the two tribes caused by her kidnapping.

The book coming out in Feb features her deaf sister and one of the men/werewolves you meet in Book 1.

Tara, why'd you abandon Soulless? I just bought it b/c it's gotten super-high praise from a bunch of other folks here on the site, so I'm curious.

new_user | 1389 comments Martina, have you read the Children of the Moon prequel on Monroe's site? If not, I definitely recommend it. It will help introduce you to the intricacies of her world. There are quite a few rules for the wolves and their powers and they're not typical, LOL. It's a little head-scratching otherwise.

"

Just a matter of personal preference. I picked it up without reading anything about it except that everyone here loved it. I'm really not much into historical period writing. I'm sure one day I'll go back to it, but then I'll be prepared and in the right frame of mind.

New_user,

No, I haven't read it yet, but will likely do so soon. However, I thought Moon Awakening did a good job of explaining them to the main character and thereby explaining them to the reader as well. I wasn't confused and certainly liked the book enough to put book #2 on my wishlist. ;-)

new_user | 1389 comments Oh, you already read the first book! LOL. For some reason, I thought it was on your TBR. That's cool. I liked the first book enough to read the second too, but after reading one of her shorts, I'm starting to think she's better at contemporary. Guess I'll find out when her second book comes out. I almost think she tried to explain too much with the pack rules. I only need the basics to follow the story, right? ;) LOL.

Its preferable if they have some element of the paranormal in them, Crystal. Just as an example, the book I just finished had ghosts in the first story and time travel in the second.

Welcome to the challenge by the way :)

I tried to start Dream Warrior tonight at work. I have a copy of it on audiobook and I can listen to headphones at work. I actually downloaded the book about a year ago and couldn't remember why I never got around to just listening to it. Now I remember why!!! The guy that reads it is one of the worst readers I've ever heard! I listen to a TON of audiobooks and for the most part I'm not at all picky about readers. It's really rare for me to find someone that I really don't like. Well, this guy tops the list! I might have to go pick up the actual book if I intend to get it read this month. I don't think that I can keep listening!
