Please visit all these generous authors! Now admire their pretty covers.
All books in the lottery are signed. Here’s how this works. There will be “hot” times to comment, but you must comment often because you never know when you might get lucky. This contest runs until I have announced ALL the winners, at least one a day. No spamming, no random links. Your comment must contain content and pertain to the books or something a prior commenter has already said. Once I announce a winner, I will “reset” the contest, and we’ll begin again for the books left in the lottery.
Everyone understand how we play? I’ll start us off with a question, but feel free to let the conversation evolve. However, if you’re coming in later, and you can’t think of anything to say on your first comment, you can always answer this for your comment. (Do not answer it repeatedly; that will not win you anything.)
Which five (5) of these books are you most excited to read and why? Basically you make a wish-list for me, and I’ll regularly announce winners. So that’s it. There are some lovely, lovely books up for grabs, and a HUGE number of winners to be found.
By release day, April 6th, I will have given away ALL of these books. That just leaves one final giveaway: a $50 gift certificate to the bookstore of your choice. Anyone who has commented to date will be entered in that; the reset function doesn’t count for the grand prize, and each comment counts as one entry. The no spamming rule still applies, though. And go for it!
First winner: Robin K & Wicked Enchantment!
2nd winner: Michelle (of See Michelle Read) & Proof by Seduction
3rd winner: MamaKitty & Take Me
4th winner: Ayla_F & Laid Bare
5th winner: Raelena & Gentlemen Prefer Succubi
6th winner: Mariska & Wicked Game / Bad to the Bone
7th winner: DonnaS & Mind Games
8th winner: KJ & Scoundrel’s Kiss
9th winner: Erin & Crux
10th winner: Jodie West / JoJo & His Darkest Hunger
11th winner: Martha E & The Stranger’s Secrets
12th winner: Sandy G & Magic & Madness
13th winner: Chelsea B & ARC of I’ll Be Slaying You
14th winner: Christie I & Lead Me On
All winners email me their name & mailing info. You have one week to claim your prize, and then I re-draw.
(I did it again because the load time on the other post was getting long. So it’s locked now, and we’re continuing here. And this one is being locked too!)

March 13th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
I’m really looking forward to reading :
*Crux – b/c I adore Bree/Donna’s work…they just create brilliant paranormal plots…their characters are just incredibly easy to love and the storyline is so absorbing.
*Hunter’s Need – I’m totally addicted to Shiloh’s work…I’ve been buying & reading up all of her backlist titles..her stand alone titles are simply exquisite. The sexual tension and the heat in the books are smokin’ hot!
*Primordial – I always enjoy reading Denise’s work and I’m slowly trying to work my way through her backlist.
*I’ll Be Slaying You – I just recently started reading Cynthia’s work…I’m a devoted fan now that’s all I have to say. I read Immortal Danger & Eternal Hunter and am totally captivated by her writing.
*Doing It The Hard Way – I’ve never read TJ’s work…thanks for introducing me this new author…I just read the blurb for this storyline and am thrilled to find another great paranormal romance author to read.
Thanks for the great giveaway to celebrate your upcoming release.

March 13th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
Congrats to all the winners thus far! And since one of the books I wanted has been claimed here’s an updated list (also reposting it since I kinda forgot what I wanted too).
Wow, those are a great bunch of books! For me, I’d love…..
-Jess Granger/Beyond the Shadows..I read the first book in this series and enjoyed it. I’d like to see more.
-Colby Hodge/Twist..I’ve read other books by Colby and like her writing style. The dystopian feel to the storyline is also intriguing to me.
-Carolyn Crane/Mind Games..I’ve heard great reviews about this and her personality on her blog makes me think this book would be something I’d like.
-Shiloh Walker/Hunter’s Need..I enjoy paranormal stories and enjoy Shiloh’s writing style so that makes this one look like a winner to me.
-Cynthia Eden/ARC of I’ll be Slaying You..I enjoy her writing style and I read and enjoyed the first in the series so I’d like to continue the series.
March 13th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Emma, Beth’s book is great! As a disabled person, I’m always trying to read books with disabled characters. The heroine in this book is exactly the kind I like to see. She’s outspoken and doesn’t let her disability define her.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
Hurray, nice and clean(er). Here’re my five:
Victoria Dahl – Lead Me On
Tessa Dare – Goddess of the Hunt
Joely Sue Burkhart – Rose of Shanhasson
Shiloh Walker – Hunter’s Need
Moira Rogers – Sanctuary
Thanks for the chance to win!
March 13th, 2010 at 9:31 pm
I was getting tired of scrolling through 700+ comments, too. Much better!
March 13th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Congratulations to Raelena and Mariska.
And my new list…
Elisabeth Naughton’s Marked – love classical mythology. Love – know way too much about it. Like, a scary amount. So, a book based on it? Must be win.
Louisa Edwards – On the Steamy Side – food! Sex! Relationships! Um, that’s pretty much self explanatory for me, but I love talking food, reading about food, etc, and especially romance.
Jess Granger – Beyond the Shadows – I heard so many good things about her first book in the series (pretty sure I’ve got the right one) – would love to try it out!
Victoria Dahl – Lead Me On – I’ve got the others in the series and somehow don’t have this one yet, so my collection must be complete!
Juliana Stone – His Darkest Hunger – she’s a new to me author, and I’d like to try her books. It’s important to expand horizons right? ;)
March 13th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Cupk8 haha, I’m glad about an easier to manage comment threat too :X Feel like I shouldn’t, for some reason.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:30 pm
Ooo as for reviews… actually I try not to read them unless I have no opinion about a book and am deciding to buy or not. Although, I also try to avoid them because I hate spoilers, and some reviews have them.
I know, I’m a weirdo :P
March 13th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
congrats winners!
need to update my top 5 list
Crux
sanctuary
mind games
shadowglass
bitter nights
March 13th, 2010 at 10:41 pm

My list again.
Eden – I’ll Be Slaying You Arc
Naughton – Marked Arc
Stone – His Darkest Hunger
Vivia Anna – Vampire Quest

March 13th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
Congratulations, Mariska!
March 13th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
This contest is really popular!
What’d you see? I just saw Alice in Wonderland on Thursday. Then I got a cool Mad Hatter poster that’s hanging on my closet door.
March 13th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
Did you like it?
March 13th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
Grats to the new winners!!

3. Lead Me On by Victoria Dahl
4. Marked by Elisabeth Naughton
5. Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare
March 13th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
Yeah I did. I’ve always been a HUGE alice in wonderland fan, so it was nice seeing it on the big screen, especially with Johnny Depp, my favorite actor. I felt it could’ve been better, though. Some things didn’t seem to go with the flow of the movie, like the dance Johnny and Alice did…what was up with that?? lol
March 14th, 2010 at 1:37 am
Colby Hodge’s Twist
Moira Rogers’ Crux
Moira Rogers’ Sanctuary
Tessa Dare’s Goddess of the Hunt: no real reason, the title caught me.
Elisabeth Naughton’s ARC of Marked: Also has no reason.
March 14th, 2010 at 2:05 am
Hi Ayla,
I hope you feel better soon and congrats on your win!
March 14th, 2010 at 5:56 am
Good morning everyone, hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. Any special plans for today?
March 14th, 2010 at 6:00 am
Kelsey,
I was confused, too. Because I had the thread bookmarked and I was confused when I wasn’t able to comment any longer. Took me awhile till I found the new blog.
March 14th, 2010 at 8:52 am
Good morning everyone and Good Luck today!
March 14th, 2010 at 8:53 am
Good morning, Danny! I don’t have plans today. I’m hoping to have a lazy reading day :)
March 14th, 2010 at 9:11 am
I’v already read Shadowfae and it’s quite good
it’s not the typical lovestory and sex plays an important role throughout the book, but it’s definitively something new!
March 14th, 2010 at 9:15 am
*argh* I can’t wait to see it!! I saw the movie trailer and it’s gorgeous!! I hope I have time next week
March 14th, 2010 at 9:15 am
Good Morning all, had some excitement with the wild life this morning so am late to the party!!! 2 deer and a Turkey decided to come over to the neighbors and eat earlier this morning so am getting the pictures and video sorted out in my computer !!! I love living in the woods, hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!

March 14th, 2010 at 9:17 am
no special plans here too *gg* although there is an essay waiting to be written… maybe later
March 14th, 2010 at 9:22 am
Hey Kelsey went to bed last night before seeing your question. My DH and I went to see Matt Damon’s new release “Green Zone”, should have went to see Johnny in “Alice”!!!!!
jackie b central texas
March 14th, 2010 at 9:34 am
What a good way to start the day!!!
March 14th, 2010 at 9:35 am
LOL. Ina I have to write a couple of reviews.
March 14th, 2010 at 9:36 am
I feel like an overachiever. LOL! I’ve already done my Dad’s taxes this morning and started the laundry. Of course, I was sick all week and haven’t done a thing before this weekend.
March 14th, 2010 at 9:37 am
I take it Green Zone wasn’t very good?
March 14th, 2010 at 9:39 am
Nothing special…just going to laze around today…Samhain is having a huge readers appreciation party & the Sammie awards are today as well so I’ll be hanging out over there.
March 14th, 2010 at 9:40 am
Oh wow…that’s really cool! The only deer I’ve ever seen was at the zoo
March 14th, 2010 at 9:41 am
that’s quite a bit of stuff you’ve already done…I’m still in bed and imitating a sloth
March 14th, 2010 at 9:42 am
I know me – I need more time pressure to work appropriate
and now I have no stress…
March 14th, 2010 at 9:52 am
We live on the back side of a State Park in a forested area and since we have corn out at our house and the neighbors we see deer quite frequently in both our front yards! Wish could share the pics here!!!
jackie b central texas
March 14th, 2010 at 9:57 am
Green Zone was not exactly what I was expecting simply because did not watch any trailers other than 1 that came on Television last week.
I love Matt Damon in action adventure and that is what the movie was being represented as and instead it is about the war with Iraq and certain parts of it were very well done and thought provoking but it just was not my exact cup of tea… Then ending of course left more questions than it answered for me.
jackie b central texas
March 14th, 2010 at 10:23 am
You should put them up on your blog or facebook if you have it…
March 14th, 2010 at 10:41 am
Pics are up on blog and will post on Facebook later with some video so can share with the rest of the Animal lovers!

I like reading reviews. It would never sway me 100% on buying (or not) a book. But some books give the impression that they’re in one genre when in fact they’re in another genre. So I like to know what I’m getting in to before I buy.
March 14th, 2010 at 11:44 am
I tried to keep up with the Samhain celebration the first day or two, but started to feel overwhelmed by how fast the comments were flying so I gave up. I was really hoping to win something, but really felt like I wasn’t keeping up well enough.
March 14th, 2010 at 11:48 am
It must be a good year for deer because I too have seen alot of them. I live in an apartment complex and can look out my window and see them running in the distance. So they’re getting much braver coming so close to the city.
March 14th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
Okay, lets update the list:
- Victoria Dahl LEAD ME ON
- Megan Hart NO GREATER PLEASURE
- Moira Rogers CRUX
- Moira Rogers SANCTUARY
- HelenKay Dimon LEAVE ME BREATHLESS
I had a goal of reading four books this weekend. *sigh* I’m not going to make it. I’ll be lucky to finish the second book.
Why do other people need my help for stuff? Why? Why do I agree to help out? /end whine
March 14th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Hey Joder, we live off a major Highway but back in a heavily wooded area behind a very deer and other wildlife infested State Park and have seen Skunks, Possums, Racoons and all kinds of snakes and birds and squirrels since moving to our home in 2001! The deer are coming out because of being fed and we also have natural springs running through the woods so plenty of water to drink and lots of fresh new grass coming up to eat as well. The major city from us is Austin TX about 50 miles east and they have suburban neighborhoods with deer running everywhere!!!

March 14th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
Yay…I only needed to update one!
Let’s see, besides Hellfire, my wishlist of books I don’t have would be:
1. Mindgames (Carolyn Crane) – b/c I love CC’s blog and the premise of the book sounds great.
2. Shadow Glass (Erica Hayes) – I’ve got the first book and I’d love to read them back-to-back.
3. On the Steamy Side (Louisa Edwards) b/c I love a good contemporary!
4. Mistress by Mistake (Maggie Robinson) – I saw the blurb and thought it sounded great (and the cover is gorgeous!)
5. Hunter’s Need (Shiloh Walker) – I’m reading Fragile now and enjoying it; would love to try another of her series.
Thanks!!!
March 14th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Little Guy goes to his dad’s today, so there will be much cleaning and consuming of chocolate. : )
March 14th, 2010 at 12:53 pm

March 14th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
Good morning people!
Gah! i hate this whole daylight saving time change…i already don’t get much sleep :(.
So have anyone bought any new books lately?
March 14th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
I live right in downtown so there aren’t places for deer or other wildlife…well except for squirrels
March 14th, 2010 at 1:46 pm
Gah, yes. I had to get Sugar Daddy (Lisa Kleypas) after reading Smooth Talking Stranger. Now I’m broke and I HAVE to get Blue-Eyed Devil. It’s a definite HAVE TO, not just want.
March 14th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Dang…and I had high hopes for Green Zone. I’m a total action/adventure movies junkie and for the last while there haven’t been any good ones that have come out
March 14th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
I’ve been trying diligently but so far my luck has kinda sucked…I won an ebook on day 1 but since then nada..zip…nothing… I’m hoping & praying that maybe I’ll score the Kindle *hey wishful thinking is still good*
March 14th, 2010 at 2:00 pm

Jackie, I just checked out your blog. Your dog and cat are soo cute. My son has been begging for a Chihuahua for several years. They’re awful cute.
March 14th, 2010 at 3:05 pm
I live in Wisconsin and we have deer and turkey everywhere. They are actually kind of menace since there are so many of both.
March 14th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
i’m happy i live where you don’t have to worry about daylight savings :)
yep, i bought books i don’t need right now because my bookshelf is already overflowing…
eternal hunter by cynthia eden
dangerous highlander by donna grant
no chance by christy reece
practice makes perfect by julie james
…but i’m addicted to books and i think every one here is too?
March 14th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
I picked up Rob Thurman’s new book Roadkill. It is the 5th in a series, but new to me. It looks like a good book tho.
March 14th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
You live in Arizona?
March 14th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Thanks very much Christie, I think my little pets are beauties but hey they are mine!!!
Chihuahuas are very cute and loveable but word of warning they “bond” with one person heavily and generally not the “owner’ but the “caregiver”. I just happen to be both….

March 14th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Re-stating my most anticipated books out of the above
:
Cynthia Eden’s I’ll Be Slaying You – Just bought Eternal Hunter and I’m enthralled. Can I say “more”? *g*
Shadowglass by Erica Hayes – Gritty, dark, magical, seductive – I want to delve into the world created by the words.
Carolyn Crane’s Mind Games – I’ve heard a ton of things – all good – about this book.
Moira Rogers’s Crux – Great things have been said.
Juliana Stone’s His Darkest Hunger – A new to me author too and from what I’ve read of the blurb, sounds promising!
March 14th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
It is so nice not worrying about Daylight savings. Yay!!!! LOL
March 14th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
@ Jackie U: Blue eyed Devil, never heard of it. What’s that about?
@Katie: I just recently bought the Cal and Niko series but haven’t started it…How do you like it? I heard mixed reviews for it but decided to go ahead and buy the series haha. I heard it was kinda like Supernatural the show?
@Anna: Whoa! that’s a lot of books!! you must have a lot of books in your TBR pile huh?
@Jackie B: Is Anton Strout’s series any good? I was thinking about starting that series.
Well for me as mention earlier to to Katie I just bought the whole Cal series by Rob Thurman, Hourglass by Claudia Gray and I bought Spiral Hunt and Wild Hunt by Magaret Ronald. Haven’t started on any yet though. I’m still trying to finish the book i just started ‘Wages of Sins’ by Jeanna Maclaine.
What are all you currently reading?
I love hearing about what you all bought :) hehe
March 14th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
Awe! My son would love that. My SIL has two and treats them like babies. It’s so cute

I bought a couple from Julie Kenner’s Demon Hunting Soccer Mom series from the bargain shelf and Books A Million
Also bought
Just the Sexiest Man Alive by Julie Kenner
Twice As Hot by Gena Showalter
Dream Warrior by Sherrilyn Kenyon
March 14th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
where do you live Cherryreads? soo luckky! i forgot to turn my clock forward today too haha
March 14th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
i still have Twice as Hot in my TBR pile. Have you read Julie Kenner’s blood lily series?
March 14th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
This series about the Department of Extraordinary Affairs is different than others and stays interesting from book to book….
jackie b central texas
March 14th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Van, no I haven’t. Kenner is a new author for me.
March 14th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I’m covetous. The chocolate is mine. ::evil laugh::
Unless I want to gain 20 pounds, I probably should, though. I have six boxes of Girl Scout cookies, chocolate covered marshmallows, chocolate covered raisins, assorted candy bars, and did I mention six boxes of Girl Scout cookies? LOL
March 14th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
That’s a horrible place to start the series, unfortunately. LOVE those books though! Straight UF, very gritty, dark, and makes you cuddle your babies closer. Robin is my favorite–who doesn’t love a horny puck?–but the boys Leandros are beyond entertaining.
March 14th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
That was supposed to be Just the Sexiest Man Alive by Julie James not Julie Kenner…..ooops
March 14th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
@ vanp – It’s the second book in a series I’m in love with. I just finished Sugar Daddy, the first book, and it was epic in every way. It followed the heroine from the age of 14 when she fell in love with a neighbor, through the hardships of youth (including him abandoning her), into the present day. The second book, Blue-Eyed Devil, follows the man who abandoned her. ::happy sigh:: It’s single mom crack, seriously. In the first and third books, the women have kids who aren’t really theirs, and the men always step up and help out.
March 14th, 2010 at 4:11 pm
Julie James is a goddess. Seriously. I liked her hero in Practice Makes Perfect the best, but the one in Sexiest is pretty damn good. He’s egotistical, funny, and truly doesn’t get why the heroine isn’t fallen all over herself to have him.
March 14th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
the only time the clock forward or backwards gets me is when I have to remember when others change theirs and how it relates to our time.
March 14th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
@Jacke U, Good to know. I’ve heard Julie James if awesome. I snatched The Sexiest Man Alive up for my kindle while it’s on sale. I love the cover for Practice Makes Perfect.
March 14th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
I would so rather go back than forward. I am going to be messed up for weeks.
March 14th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
@Jackie U, those Girl Scouts are evil
LOL I can’t go out without coming home with more cookies. It’s also Cadbury Egg(My Favorite)season. My diet is not going so well 
March 14th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
Guess I may have to get the first book, eh?
March 14th, 2010 at 4:53 pm
i bet it would be nice ti not worry about daylight savings! i don’t mind gainning the hour, but i hate loosing the hour!!!
March 14th, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Eternal Hunter was soooo good!
March 14th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Me too! I love falling back but this spring forward crap sucks. Getting the kids to bed tonight is going to be a nightmare
March 14th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
I know it has been asked but I don’t see it on this page.
What’s everyone reading?
I’m still reading Red-Headed Stepchild by Jaye Wells. It’s a good read. I love Sabina even if she has a bad attitude. I also just started Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder. Kinda has a Hunger Game feel. I’m liking it.
March 14th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
My 5 are now:
Sanctuary
His Darkest Hunger
Eternal hunter
Beyond the Shadows
Primordial
March 14th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
I just finished Lora Leigh’s Black Jack. I love all her books!
How’s Red-Headed Stepchild coming along? I’ve been debating whether to read it or not.
March 14th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
I definitely agree! As a college student I’m already losing enough sleep and this just means I’ll lose even more. It seems so pointless and a waste of time. *sigh*
March 14th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
So lucky! Losing an our messes up everypne’s schedules and as a college student it sucks even more since I’m already sleep deprived!
March 14th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
@Jeanette, I like it. Took me a bit to figure out who was who and what was what. Now that I’ve got the “lingo” down I’m all good. I can’t think of anything I’ve read with a mage before so it’s a little different for me.
March 14th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
I have Jaye Wells in the TBR, have to dig it out of the pile. I was in the mood for an historical yesterday and read Bettina Krahn’s Harlequin Blaze, Make Me Yours, was very good. Now I’m just starting Immortal Danger by Cynthia Eden.
March 14th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
Jackie, Sexiest Man is still my favorite of her heros after reading all 3 books (all are great). She made him likeable even with that ego, and it was fun seeing him clueless what to do with her.
March 14th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
I am reading Black Sheep and the Princess by Donna Kauffman…

My 5 are still up so once more into the pit:

2. Louisa Edwards / “On The Steamy Side” for one thing do not have book 1 in this series and have them both on my wish list and mainly Dig the title of the book a lot….
3. Elizabeth Naughton/ “Marked” ARC would love to win this one because it is 50 days to release date and really want to read the story ASAP..
4.Juliana Stone/ “His Darkest Hunger” want the book because it is the first one in the new series and am in love with the characters Jaxon and Libby …
5.Denise A Agnew/ “Primordial” it is set in the dark and dangerous jungle and would love to try out an author new to me….

I’m really looking forward to reading :
*Crux – b/c I adore Bree/Donna’s work…they just create brilliant paranormal plots…their characters are just incredibly easy to love and the storyline is so absorbing.
*Hunter’s Need – I’m totally addicted to Shiloh’s work…I’ve been buying & reading up all of her backlist titles..her stand alone titles are simply exquisite. The sexual tension and the heat in the books are smokin’ hot!
*Primordial – I always enjoy reading Denise’s work and I’m slowly trying to work my way through her backlist.
*I’ll Be Slaying You – I just recently started reading Cynthia’s work…I’m a devoted fan now that’s all I have to say. I read Immortal Danger & Eternal Hunter and am totally captivated by her writing.
*Doing It The Hard Way – I’ve never read TJ’s work…thanks for introducing me this new author…I just read the blurb for this storyline and am thrilled to find another great paranormal romance author to read.
Thanks for the great giveaway to celebrate your upcoming release.

Question for discussion:
Can you remember when you first started reading for fun seriously? I don’t remember an age as such but do recall that my primary school teacher was impressed at my reading skills. Also remember reading novels from about 8 yrs old.
March 14th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
I was about six/seven years old and I was reading Hans Christian Andersen & Grimms Brothers stories. I was also really into Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew…I also snuck into my Mum’s stash of Barbara Cartland novels…that’s what got me hooked on to reading romances.
March 14th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
If anyone is interested, I was lucky enough to score an ARC of Conquering India by Melissa Schroeder and I just posted my pseudo review on my blog http://s7anna.blogspot.com/2010/03/conquering-india-by-melissa-schroeder.html
The book is coming out tomorrow at Bookstrand.
March 14th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Congratulations to Donna S!
I think this list is still ok…
Elisabeth Naughton’s Marked – love classical mythology. Love – know way too much about it. Like, a scary amount. So, a book based on it? Must be win.
Louisa Edwards – On the Steamy Side – food! Sex! Relationships! Um, that’s pretty much self explanatory for me, but I love talking food, reading about food, etc, and especially romance.
Jess Granger – Beyond the Shadows – I heard so many good things about her first book in the series (pretty sure I’ve got the right one) – would love to try it out!
Victoria Dahl – Lead Me On – I’ve got the others in the series and somehow don’t have this one yet, so my collection must be complete!
Juliana Stone – His Darkest Hunger – she’s a new to me author, and I’d like to try her books. It’s important to expand horizons right? ;)
March 14th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
oh my gosh- haha I found Barbara Cartland books in the “library” of one of my teachers in high school. Hilarious, and I was hooked on them. They were my “break books” between classics when those drained me.
March 14th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
I kept losing track of where I left off on the first post.
March 14th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
I am really looking forward to getting to see it. Just hoping I can see it in the theatre.
March 14th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
How cool. What a neat thing to see in the morning.
March 14th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
Been gone all day.
Here’s my 5 again:
I’m really excited to read Shadowglass, Goddess of the Hunt, Jeri Smith-Ready’s books, and Shiloh Walker’s Broken.
March 14th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
@Katie – The Cal series is great but you should totally start with the first in the series.
@vanp – Anton Stout’s series is definitely worth reading. I thought the first book was a little slow getting into it, but theres a lot of great info in the beginning that helps make the second half and the second book fly by. I need to pick up the 3rd soon.
March 14th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
I remember it was in grade school but not really when. I know I started with Nancy Drew and the Sweet Valley High, then moved on to Agatha Christie. And was reading Stephen King and Dean Koontz and VC Andrews by high school.
March 14th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
Awesome. Thanks!! Info sent.
March 14th, 2010 at 11:32 pm

March 15th, 2010 at 3:15 am
My list is still good:
- Victoria Dahl LEAD ME ON
- Megan Hart NO GREATER PLEASURE
- Moira Rogers CRUX
- Moira Rogers SANCTUARY
- HelenKay Dimon LEAVE ME BREATHLESS
Upthread, there was discussion about recently read and recently bought books so I thought I’d chime in.
Last weekend I read Lisa Kleypas’s SMOOTH TALKING STRANGER, which led to me almost immediately ordering SUGAR DADDY and BLUE-EYED DEVIL. How have I been missing out on Kleypas for so long?
I also read NAKED EDGE by Pamela Clare and was totally blown away, so I ordered EXTREME EXPOSURE. Must. Have. More. Awesome.
Then this weekend I read DOUBLEBLIND by…what’shernameagain?
Ann someone… Awesome, gut wrenching book. I tried to pre-order KILLBOX at the Book Depository but it’s not up yet. 
As soon as I work through a few more books in my TBR pile I’m going to order Stieg Larsson’s Millenium trilogy. (But not today since I didn’t get my weekend reading done. The idea is to make the TBR pile grow smaller, not keep building it up until it falls over and crushes me beneath it!)
March 15th, 2010 at 5:28 am

March 15th, 2010 at 8:16 am
I understand the time change issue. I hate Spring Forward. Give me Fall Back any day!
March 15th, 2010 at 8:20 am
I don’t actually recall not reading. I always had books and read my heart out.
March 15th, 2010 at 8:47 am
My Top 5 would have to be:
1. Marked by Elisabeth Naughton
2. Crux by Moira Rogers
3. Leave Me Breathless by HelenKay Dimon
4. Bitter Night by Diana Pharaoh Francis
5. Shadowglass by Erica Hayes
March 15th, 2010 at 8:49 am
If you ever remember the name of the author of Doubleblind, please let us know. I’m sure everyone here is interested to know who that might be.
March 15th, 2010 at 8:53 am
I’m really interested to see how Marked compares to the Dark-Hunters. I expect there to be some major differences but they both have hot warriors whose origins are in Greek mythology.
I’ve read Lead Me On, but none of the others in the series, so I can’t say how it compares, but I really enjoyed it. Jane makes some mistakes through her journey but she isn’t annoying, even if I don’t always agree with her.

I am just back from a doc appointment. Got an injection with a huge needle into my ankle, if that doesn’t work I am going to have a surgery. At the moment it hurts like hell.

We forgot about the time chance, and didn’t reset our clocks, so we were late for church on Sunday. It’s really hard to remember for us.
March 15th, 2010 at 12:50 pm
I read Enchanted, Inc. by Shanna Swendson over the weekend, and really enjoyed it. I’m about to order the rest of the series even though I’m supposedly on a self-imposed book buying ban until I decrease my TBR pile.
It’s a really fun read and I’ve been in a reading slump lately so that’s my justification.
March 15th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
I got my boyfriend into audio books. Since it rained all day Saturday we listened to Death of a gentle Lady by M.C. Beaton. Now I’m re-reading Children of the Night by Mercedes Lackey.
March 15th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
Popping in at lunch. I am currently reading An Earl to Enchant by Amelia Grey – an historical which I really like! Also on e-book I just started Black Velvet by Delilah Stephans and Antonio Tiranth which is a sexy paranormal.
March 15th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
Me too Christie, me too. I really just cant believe its only 1pm here. It doesnt feel right.
March 15th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Im sorry, hopefully that works and you dont have to have the surgery.
March 15th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
I love Beaton’s “Death of” books, and they work really well as audio books.
March 15th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Thanks Donna! I really hope it works. So far I never had a surgery and I don’t want to get this one. It’s scary.
March 15th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
I am still pretty new to audio books. So far I have only listened to Phantom Lover from AJ Llewellyn and I love the book. I also have Hot Pursuit from Suz Brockmann and one from Kerri Arthur, but so far I haven’t listened into them. I think they are great when you have long flights etc.

I have only listened to one Audio Book so far and that only because won a copy of “The Last Song” by Nicholas Sparks. It was okay, I need to get the book and read the story though because the male and female readers were kind of annoying… Liked the book itself just need to actually “read” it for myself now…
I found it was nice to multitask by playing the book and playing on my computer at the same time, and also relaxing to lay in bed and listen….

my top 5:
crux, sanctuary, shadowglass, goddess of the hunt, mistress by mistake.
Oh Enchanted inc, i’ve been meaning to read that! :)
March 15th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
I have a long commute, and audiobooks can be a lifesaver. My brain is kind of weird though; with most audiobooks, I have trouble listening if I haven’t already read the book. There are only a handful of author/reader combinations that I can listen to cold.
March 15th, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Oh, i’m currently reading ‘Wages of Sin’ by Jenna Maclaine. I’m about half through the book right now and its soooo good, had a hard time putting it down but i had school the next day. xP
March 15th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Congratulations to all the winners!!!
March 15th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
I missed quite a few days – dah!!!! lol
March 15th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
I have never really gotten into Audio books simply because I don’t get into things being read to me. I enjoy reading it a lot more.
On my commute I love listening to my CDs. Makes the drive go much faster that way.
March 15th, 2010 at 2:51 pm
I used to listen to CDs during my commute. I changed jobs and only have a 7 mile commmute instead of an hour plus so now I mostly listen to the radio.
March 15th, 2010 at 2:51 pm
Larena I am with you, I would much rather read in my head with my own “voice” than having someone else read to me out loud. When I was a child it caused me no end of impatience until learned how to read on my own, my parents loved to read to me but I was not such a good listener!!!
Being read to is somewhat distracting from the story as too busy critiquing the reader’s voice….
jackie b central texas
March 15th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
A reader who “disappears” into the story is definitely a requirement. I need something else too, though. It’s some mysterious quality of the story itself that I can’t define; I just know when it works so it’s very hit and miss.
March 15th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
I completely agree. I find it more distracting to listen to someone else so I end up missing things.
March 15th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Yes, I too am not a fan of audiobooks. It’s hard to concentrate on what’s going on in the story when it’s being read to you. Plus, I’m a fast reader and the audiobooks feel like they’re so slow.
March 15th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
I’ve just finished Spiders Bite and thought was brillant. :)
Here’s a question that I think I’ve seen elsewhere but can’t remember where lol.
How do you find new authors or books? Blog reviews?, Review sites? Talking to others?
I use BBB a lot but also now have a heap of RSS feeds for authors and review blogs/sites. Love how the internet has meant that authors are so much more accessible and just makes the reading experience that much more personal. (at least for me)
March 15th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
I really enjoyed that series. And I am hoping she starts another soon.
March 15th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Isn’t Jennifer Estep amazing? Gin is a wonderful heroine. She’s flawed but sticks to her morals, tough but willing to embrace her emotions, and Donovan…mmm….
I use and abuse SciFi Guy and a woman on the Paranormal Romance Lovers Yahoo! Group. They send out updates every month with new releases.
March 15th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Hey Emmad another Spider’s Bite fan, was it not really cool! Venom and Web Of Lies are on my Wishing and will buy when released. Jennifer got me with Gin!!
jackie b central texas
You are so right the Internet has opened up new worlds for us readers and made finding new authors and reading material fun and easy thanks to all the ways you mentioned in your comment on how to find them!!!
March 15th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Did you read The Quickening and…oh crud…what’s the second book in Antonia’s series? I can’t remember now. Black Velvet is my least favorite of the three, but it’s still enjoyable.
March 15th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
I loved Spider’s Bite too. Can’t wait for the next book.
On the net I mostly find new books on BBB and Goodreads. But I also enjoy going to the bookstore or library and browsing.
March 15th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
She has a 5th book planned for the series, but her publisher doesn’t want it.
I find that totally bizarre! The series started in 2005, is trade paperback so more expensive, and all the books are still in print. But they don’t want book 5. Totally bizarre!
That’s another excuse I’m using to buy the rest of the series.
March 15th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
congrats to Donna S
I had a stressful day so I’m off until tomorrow – see you soon
March 15th, 2010 at 4:12 pm
I bought Spider’s Bite last week and can’t wait to read it.
I don’t have any IRL friends that like to read. Well those that do don’t read the same type of books as me. I rely on blogs, Goodreads, Library Thing, & Shelfari. Amazon usually recommends books based on what I’ve ordered some are a hit and some a miss. I also scour shelves and look for covers that pop out at me.
March 15th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Enjoy your spring break!
March 15th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Reset! You’ll know who won shortly.
March 15th, 2010 at 4:16 pm

I’m really looking forward to reading :
*Crux – b/c I adore Bree/Donna’s work…they just create brilliant paranormal plots…their characters are just incredibly easy to love and the storyline is so absorbing.
*Hunter’s Need – I’m totally addicted to Shiloh’s work…I’ve been buying & reading up all of her backlist titles..her stand alone titles are simply exquisite. The sexual tension and the heat in the books are smokin’ hot!
*Primordial – I always enjoy reading Denise’s work and I’m slowly trying to work my way through her backlist.
*I’ll Be Slaying You – I just recently started reading Cynthia’s work…I’m a devoted fan now that’s all I have to say. I read Immortal Danger & Eternal Hunter and am totally captivated by her writing.
*Doing It The Hard Way – I’ve never read TJ’s work…thanks for introducing me this new author…I just read the blurb for this storyline and am thrilled to find another great paranormal romance author to read.
Thanks for the great giveaway to celebrate your upcoming release.

I wouldn’t like listening to audio books. I’ve never ordered one. I can see if I’m driving, I might want to listen to a person reading a book, but I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on driving then! I guess I’d want to read the book myself.

How do you decide on buying a book? Who are some of your auto-buys?
March 15th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
I took a wee break, but I am back :) Congrats to all of the winners thus far!
Here are my current wishes:
Elisabeth Naughton – ARC of Marked
Shiloh Walker – Hunter’s Need
Joely Sue Burkhart – Rose of Shanhasson
Diana Pharoah Francis – Bitter Night
Moira Rogers – Sanctuary
March 15th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Anna, In response to how does a person decide on buying a book, many things factor in. The book cover naturally comes in first to catch my eye and interest, the back cover blurb has to be good enough to intrigue me and tell me to read the story, the main thing is for me the book genre. I read mostly Dark Paranormal Romance and UF and on occasion stray into Historical and Erotic Romance and good old fashioned Mystery Thrillers. My favorite books are written by authors who specialize in shape shifters, magic, Fae, and of course riveting characters both male and female.
Some of my auto buys at this point are J. D. Robb and or Nora Roberts, Diana Gabaldon, Rob Thurman, Faith Hunter, Kim Harrison, Jennifer Armintrout, Shana Abe and quite a few others. I am also going to auto buy books from new authors to me Kelly Gay, Kelly Meding, Jennifer Estep and Moira Rogers..
Jackie B Central Texas
March 15th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
@Anna
It’s a series or a favourite author that makes an autobuy for me. Some of them are JR Ward, Janet Evanovich, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Eloisa James.
But if it’s a new author, the cover helps but a lot comes down to the blurb if I’m in the store or the excerpt if I find out about the book on the internet.
March 15th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
I agree, Jackie, I want to read in my own head with my own voice, at my speed. I remember way back once having to type from a dictating machine in an office, same type of thing, I’d find myself way ahead and waiting for the dictator voice to catch up to me, lol.
March 15th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
Congrats KJ!!
March 15th, 2010 at 10:42 pm

Magic and Madness
Hunter’s Need
Crux
March 16th, 2010 at 3:34 am
Most of the times the blurb is what influences me most if I buy a book or not, other times its a recommendation from friends.
An auto-buy is for me, a book by my favorite author or part of a series that I really like. But also certain themes can be auto buys for me. I really love books with firefighter heroes.
March 16th, 2010 at 3:37 am
My tbr pile is more like a tbr mountain range. There are too many to name.
March 16th, 2010 at 3:43 am

March 16th, 2010 at 9:21 am
My TBR list is at 500 or so now LOL I’m out of control
March 16th, 2010 at 9:24 am
My auto buys are series that I’m hooked on. Charlaine Harris, Richelle Mead, Patricia Briggs, Karen Marie Moning, and Jeaniene Frost are a few that I must by (usually pre-order).
March 16th, 2010 at 10:12 am
ok… my new list :)
1) Moira Rogers – Crux/Sanctuary
2) Juliana Stone – His darkest Hunger
3) Denise Agnew – Primordial
4) Victoria Dahl – Lead me On
5) Jess Granger – Beyond the Shadows
I’ve been reading a lot of the comments (instead of working… shhh) and I’m w/ Jackie… I’m a cover slut too… I have to like the cover even though I have found a lot of really good books that have awful covers (those are usually the ones I pick up due to strong recommendations)…
But lately, I usually find new authors based on the recommendations of blogs (Ann’s a huge source… really… I usually go straight to amazon after reading here). I also do the Amazon’s recommended picks… but that’s only about 40%… but due to having to self impose a book allowance, I’ve had to make lists of authors/books and I can’t stray!
But I have a few exceptions of must haves that I can break the allowance for…
I just finished Kim Harrison’s Black magic Sanction (very good!) after restarting the entire series (I’m weird like that… anyone else do that? Reread the series before a new release?) and as a “palatte cleanser” I’m reading Watchers by Dean Koontz… Don’t know why, but I love Dean Koontz and always manage to read a book by him every other time… After that… I’m off to restart Patricia Briggs series before Silver Borne comes out…
ok… I think this is the most I’ve ever posted! usually I’m a lurker… sorry… skulking off now… ;)
March 16th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Crux
Sanctuary
Shadowglass
Bitter Night
Twist
As a graphic designer, book covers are the very first thing to drag me in… then the blurb has to clinch me, otherwise my penny-pinching gene will kick and and make me put down the pretty book. ;)
March 16th, 2010 at 11:06 am
I agree with your list, but would have to add Kresley Cole, Julie James, Victoria Dahl, Kelley Armstrong, Katie MacAlister, Lynn Viehl…I’m sure I’m missing people…
March 16th, 2010 at 11:13 am
Congrats KJ

March 16th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
Good Afternoon all, been busy this am and stopping by while eating late lunch, looks like Erin has stopped being a shy lurker and the rest of you are busy bees!!
Nice to see people besides myself who have Jeaniene Frost, Patricia Briggs and Karen Marie Moning on their auto buy lists….
jackie b central texas
March 16th, 2010 at 1:09 pm
Cool job :D
I do love covers, they are the first thing I look at and yes bad covers might not make me take up the book. But the blurb makes the deal
March 16th, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Patricia Briggs is always an auto buy for me. Also C.E. Murphy
March 16th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
I like Karen Marie Moning’s books. I have Jeaniene Frost’s first book but I haven’t read it yet. And I have seen Patricia Brigg’s books and would like to read at least the first one but my TBB list is waaaaaay too long so I have been putting it off.
March 16th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
I’m going to re-post about a site I mentioned in Part 1 of the contest comments…The site is called Savvy Readers http://www.savvyreaders.com/
it’s a great search tool for new authors/titles in a specific plot or category that you may be interested in.
I’ve been using it for the last couple of months and have found it to be very helpful. I’m also a major blog stalker
I follow a lot of various blogs (authors/reviewers/readers) not to mention browse various publisher websites…basically get info from the horse’s mouth shall we say? 
March 16th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Hey Anna looked up the Savvy Readers site and it is on my book marks now. The most helpful tool right now for me is also book bloggers and review sites, my RSS feed on my email lets me in on so many new books daily that I have to pick and choose!!
March 16th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
My list stays the same:
- Victoria Dahl LEAD ME ON
- Megan Hart NO GREATER PLEASURE
- Moira Rogers CRUX
- Moira Rogers SANCTUARY
- HelenKay Dimon LEAVE ME BREATHLESS
This is a really interesting way to wait for HELL FIRE to appear in my mailbox!
March 16th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
I saw the pic of you holding your cat…such a cutie of a cat! Is it a boy/girl? name?
March 16th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Some of mine are: Cindy Miles ( she writes the sweetest romances!), Kerrelyn Sparks (her Love at Stake series is awesome!), and Gena Showalter (all of her books are fantastic!)
March 16th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Ohh I didn’t notice this the first time round. Have added it to my bookmarks and rss’d the blog :)
Just finished Keri Arthurs Circle of Death last night. Another excellent read.
March 16th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Oh gosh! My TBR pile is humongous! A few, though, are Leave Me Breathless by HelenKay Dimon, No Rest for the Wicked by Kresley Cole, The Darkest Whisper by Gena Showalter, Pleasure Unbound by Larissa Ione….yeah, those don’t even make a dent LOL :-)

If there are people interested in scoring some great free ebooks…head on over to Resplendence Publishing’s blog – http://resplendencepublishing.blogspot.com/

I pre-ordered Hell Fire. Keep hoping Borders will ship it early.
March 16th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Thanks for the head’s up Anna, will go over and check it out.
March 16th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
I still see my top 5 picks available:
Jess Granger-Beyond The Shadows
Erica Hayes-The Shadowglass
Elisabeth Naughton-Marked
Cynthia Eden-I’ll Be Slaying You
Juliana Stone-His Darkest Hunger
March 16th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
I never know if I should pre-order or not. Sometimes it comes early but last time I got a book a couple days AFTER the release. (Both times through Amazon). If I am going to use my book “allowance” you better believe I want it by the release date.
March 16th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
March 16th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Unfortunately the Borders near me almost never gets anything out on the shelf by the release date. And I’ve had the same experience you did with Amazon shipping pre-orders after the release date. my best shot at getting something on the release date is a pre-order from Borders.
March 16th, 2010 at 3:53 pm
That’s good to know Sandy- thanks!
Jackie- I had no idea that pre-ordering messed up author’s sales listings. I don’t even really know what a sales listing is! How does it help/hurt the author?
March 16th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Frost and Briggs will not disappoint! I promise
March 16th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
Cool site! Thanks for posting. Now I have yet another site to be addicted to ;)
March 16th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
@ Anna Wow you know all the hot sites! I’m adding Resplendence Publishing to my favorites. Thanks!
March 16th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Pre-orders mess up sales? I had no idea. I live in the middle of nowhere and the closest bookstore is 45 minutes away. I drove there last Tuesday and they did’t even have the new releases out
Is it better to wait until release day and order?
March 16th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Time to redo my list :)
His Darkest Hunger – Juliana Stone
Beyond the Shadow – Tess Granger
Goddess of the Hunt – Tessa Dare
Mistress by Mistake – Maggie Robinson
Primordial – Denise Agnew
March 16th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
To be truthful, after all is said and done I am still confused and will just buy the books like usual when released online or at a store on the shelves…. I can wait have lots to read now anyway….
Jackie B Central Texas
March 16th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
From what I have heard pre-orders don’t go out until they go on sale so that they do count as the first week of sales. So my understanding is that it doesn’t hurt the author’s sales.
March 16th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Congrats to another winner! KJ. Fortunately my list is still intact.
#1 The Stranger’s Secrets by Beth Williamson
#2 Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare
#3 Marked by Elisabeth Naughton
#4 Shadowglass by Erica Hayes
#5 Mistress by Mistake by Maggie Robinson
March 16th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
My 5:
Shadowglass, Goddess of the Hunt, Jeri Smith-Ready’s books, and Shiloh Walker’s Broken
March 16th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
My understanding: Pre-orders don’t hurt sales–early purchases do. When Wal-Mart or B&N lay out the books before the release date, they don’t count toward the lists. Anything purchased within the first week of sale does.
It’s a slippery slope.

Marked by Elisabeth Naughton
I’ll Be Slaying You by Cynthia Eden
His Darkest Hunger by Juliana Stone
Beyond the Shadows by Jess Granger
On the Steamy Side by Louisa Edwards
did some spring cleaning yesterday and i’m getting rid of some of my old Harlequins… which means more room for new books! as for pre-orders, i don’t do it online because i always ended up getting the book a week after it comes out. i just go to the store on the day of the release if i’m that eager for something.
March 16th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
Yay Chelleyreads, spring cleaning is always fun as are new books….

March 16th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
I don’t believe buying early “hurts” an author. A sale is a sale. Not buying at all, now that would hurt. I support authors by buying their new books when I could just as easily read out of my TBR pile for the rest of my life.
March 16th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Sometime pre-orders ship early and sometimes I’ve seen books out in the bookstore before the release date. But I figure that the author still gets the sale.
March 16th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
Mary I am with you on a sale is a sale and most authors that have posted on the subject say the same thing. The books on my TBR shelves could also stay as is for the next year with no new additional buying and would have plenty to read…
I am just one who has been burned on Pre-Orders and got my pre-ordered book a month after it was released so will not do it again!!!!

March 16th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Here’s my lfive again.

Congratulations, KJ!
March 16th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
Lauren I can tell you this, Elisabeth Naughton has got some really interesting looking books out already and this new series is going to be 5 in the series with last books release date of February 2012. Book 2 “Entwined” comes out July 27,2010 and book 3 “Tempted” is scheduled for Feb 1, 2011. She has all this info posted on her new blog site and lots more besides…..
The Eternal Guardians series is something I have been wanting since she came out with the news a while back about her writing it!!!

Wish list is now:
Shadowglass
Bitter Night
The Rose of Shanhasson
Magic and Madness
Hunter’s Need
March 16th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
A sale is a sale, true, but the problem is this: an author who doesn’t make one of the lists isn’t as marketable as an author who did. Publishing houses look at this when they consider whether or not to sign the author on for future books. So even though the author got the money for the early sale, it didn’t necessarily help their career. They have to get over that “mid-list” hurdle in order to keep their books going.
March 16th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Reset, eh? Congrats!!
Juliana Stone – His Darkest Hunger (I’m a cover slut. I’ll admit it.)
Jess Granger – Beyond the Shadows (The reviews have been amazing so far)
Erica Hayes – Shadowglass (I have a thing for demons, lol)
and adding Eternal Hunger because of all the recs for it and the ARC of Marked because the cover looks delicious.
March 16th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
Congrats, Erin on winning!

March 16th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
My updated list :
*Beyond the Shadows – I’ve never read any of Jess’s books but it looks quite interesting and I want to give the series a try.
*Hunter’s Need – I’m totally addicted to Shiloh’s work…I’ve been buying & reading up all of her backlist titles..her stand alone titles are simply exquisite. The sexual tension and the heat in the books are smokin’ hot!
*Primordial – I always enjoy reading Denise’s work and I’m slowly trying to work my way through her backlist.
*I’ll Be Slaying You – I just recently started reading Cynthia’s work…I’m a devoted fan now that’s all I have to say. I read Immortal Danger & Eternal Hunter and am totally captivated by her writing.
*Doing It The Hard Way – I’ve never read TJ’s work…thanks for introducing me this new author…I just read the blurb for this storyline and am thrilled to find another great paranormal romance author to read.
March 16th, 2010 at 9:44 pm

Sins of the flesh is on my tbb list. I love Caridad’s books
March 17th, 2010 at 8:39 am
Danny I have been trying to get myself to sit down and read the book for almost a month and keep reading other stuff like Anthologies because they are shorter stories and can read a little at a time and finish, I follow Caridad on her blog and she has some new releases coming up that I really think look good too!

March 17th, 2010 at 9:20 am
I just started reading a German book by David Safier called Jesus liebt mich (Jesus loves me) – it’s really funny and he borrows all known clichés
his first book Bad Karma will be out in English in June (I think…) and I really recommend it!!!!
March 17th, 2010 at 9:44 am
Happy St patrick’s Day :D
Today I am reading some good fantasy, The Shadow Prowler, and perhaps I will venture into chick-lit too later today
March 17th, 2010 at 10:30 am
Jackie,
Do you find the quality of stories in anthologies very uneven? I always have trouble getting myself to read anthologies. I find that I will really like one or two stories and the rest will be so-so.
March 17th, 2010 at 10:36 am
I’m about halfway through Erin Lynn’s Demon Envy. It’s YA, but it’s YA by Erin McCarthy incognito, so I’ll allow it. She’s coming to the site tomorrow, I think, so I wanted to get it done by then. Don’t think that’ll be a hardship because it’s flipping hilarious. The heroine opens up a demon portal with zit cream.
March 17th, 2010 at 11:23 am
I think that can be a dangerous line for authors to take, though. It implies that a reader’s purchase is only valuable if it’s made during release week. If the reader’s money isn’t good enough any other time, a reader buying late might as well buy used and save money.
I’ll buy during release week if I can, but I’m not going to stress over it. I wish publishers would take a more long term view of authors’ marketability.
March 17th, 2010 at 11:23 am
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I’m planning to finish ‘Inside Out’ by Maria V. Snyder. I’m also reading ‘Just the Sexiest Man Alive’ by Julie James.
March 17th, 2010 at 11:28 am
I couldn’t disagree more. If it was all about money, sure, but it’s about longevity. For an author’s career to thrive, they have to prove they’re marketable.
March 17th, 2010 at 11:35 am
Happy St. Patty’s Day!!
I am reading the Bridgerton Series by Julia Quinn. I met her at the Book Festival this past weekend and she was so nice and so sweet!!
Keep an eye out on the Bookpusher.com website, I went to the Festival with one of their reviewers and she is going to give away a signed copy of one of Julia’s new books!! (US only though)
March 17th, 2010 at 11:36 am

My 5:
Shadowglass, Goddess of the Hunt, Jeri Smith-Ready’s books, Shiloh Walker’s Broken.
March 17th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
I just read Bitten by Cupid because I wanted to read the Lynsay Sands story because it carried over characters from one of her books. I really liked that story. The other two stories were by authors I wasn’t familiar with and they were OK. I guess my problem is paying 7.99 for a book that I’ll may only enjoy part of.
March 17th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
I’m reading Apple Turnover Murder by Joanne Fluke. It has a green cover so it seemed appropriate.
March 17th, 2010 at 1:03 pm
Happy St. Pat’s!!! I can’t say I am reading anything special for today…
I can’t even imagine what I would read. Books set in Ireland? Books with Leprechaun heros? Or villians?
March 17th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
Jackie,
I agree that an author has to be marketable to be published but most of the books that I read and enjoy are by mid-list authors. And lots of times I don’t discover an author until they’ve published several books and I happen to see a review of their latest book on a blog. I’m sure the author would be happy to have a new reader buy their backlist books as well as new releases. And if people don’t buy backlist books then publishers won’t keep them in print.

Leila Brown has a short with 2 leprechaun heroes. It’s called Irish Creme. Very hot!
March 17th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Sandy–agreed, but many of those mid-list authors’ contracts are being threatened because the newer books are being purchased. Yes, it’s important to gain new readership to purchase the backlist books, but if the newer books aren’t selling in the appropriate numbers at the appropriate times, not only will the backlist books not be available, but neither will any new books. From what I’ve heard, that’s why there won’t be a 5th Swendson novel.
March 17th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
I don’t know why but the thought of a leprechaun hero just kind of struck my funny bone.
I could see a leprechaun as a secondary character though. 
March 17th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Congrats Erin!!
March 17th, 2010 at 2:01 pm
They are very yummy leprechauns. Trust me. : )

They are both great and you wont regret reading them.
March 17th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
That was my understanding too. Would really like to know for sure if thats not the case.
March 17th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Gah! *aren’t* being purchased! lol

We had St Pats day yesterday nah nah.
How many of you take a book to work to read during your lunch hour or carry one in your bag for those moments you might be standing around doing nothing?
March 17th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
I like anthologies though even if some of the authors are unknown to me. I find a lot of new authors this way, I get the anthology if I know a couple of the authors and then can find out if I like the new ones without have to get a full stand alone book by them and risk hating the whole thing. At least this way I know I will like at least half. And really if I like 1-2 authors in it, I will usually like the others as well. It seems like that do a pretty good job of grouping similar authors together.

March 17th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Glad you both weren’t pinched! People at my school didn’t even realize it was St. Patrick’s Day till I pinched them b/c it’s finals week! haha
March 17th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
I’m in the same situation as Jackie, but I’m still debating whether to even get a ereader. I’m questioning is it even worth it when I don’t really purchase that many ebooks, but I sometimes feel like having one haha

I like mine. I think it’s the instant gratification thing LOL If I want a book bad enough I can download it and start reading. Plus all the freebies out there. I’ve discovered great authors thanks to free books on Amazon.
March 17th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Not me! My husband is working so I’m home with the kids. If he wasn’t working we’d both be home with the kids LOL We live in the middle of nowhere so even if I wanted to go out I’d have to drive an hour. I have beer in the fridge though and plan to drink a couple once all the kids are in bed.
March 17th, 2010 at 9:01 pm

Tigger is exhausted from playing with his new toy (organic catnip cloth mouse) so he’s just chillin’ on my treadmill. I think he uses it more than I do *actually…he does use it more than I do (note to self : get on the damn treadmill)*
March 17th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
uhh nooo…never gonna happen…I’m always waay too broke to even dream about going to those awesome conventions I keep hearing about not to mention seeing pics of on everyone’s sites *sigh* I live too far away…Ottawa, Ont. is not exactly a major destination for romantic fiction conventions. Besides, I console myself by buying more books to make up for not going…*sniff* Hey someone’s gotta buy the books you know…
March 17th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
Have a great night Jackie
March 17th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
I wish. Not much happens here in Louisiana. I have to drive 3 hours to Houston if I want to even attend a signing.
March 17th, 2010 at 11:24 pm

re-posting my wishlist
*Beyond the Shadows – I’ve never read any of Jess’s books but it looks quite interesting and I want to give the series a try.
*Hunter’s Need – I’m totally addicted to Shiloh’s work…I’ve been buying & reading up all of her backlist titles..her stand alone titles are simply exquisite. The sexual tension and the heat in the books are smokin’ hot!
*Primordial – I always enjoy reading Denise’s work and I’m slowly trying to work my way through her backlist.
*I’ll Be Slaying You – I just recently started reading Cynthia’s work…I’m a devoted fan now that’s all I have to say. I read Immortal Danger & Eternal Hunter and am totally captivated by her writing.
*Doing It The Hard Way – I’ve never read TJ’s work…thanks for introducing me this new author…I just read the blurb for this storyline and am thrilled to find another great paranormal romance author to read.

I’m currently re-reading Jinx High by Mercedes Lackey which I read years ago when it first came out. I really enjoyed it the first time I read it. This time I’m finding that’s its not as good as I remembered. UF has come so far since then.
Have you re-read a book and found that it isn’t as good as you remembered? If so what book was it?
March 18th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
@ Sandy,
that never happened to me so far, but sometimes I put books back on my tbr pile, because I didn’t get into the story immediately. When I pick up the book again I could kick my own butt because it was so long in my tbr pile.
March 18th, 2010 at 12:40 pm
Congratulations, Jodie!
March 18th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
Sandy that has happened to me before – and it is such a bummer. I can’t remember the title but I reread an older Anne McCaffrey dragon book and didn’t have the same reaction. Sometimes I wonder if the mood I am in effects how I perceive the current book I am reading. Just read Lighting Thief (which everyone else seems to love) and had to work at it to finish the book.

I think sometimes that when we read a book and absolutely loved it and go back years later and re-read it and find that we didn’t like it as much could just be the fact that our tastes have changed and we have grown or it could just be that at either time we were in a different frame of mind which changed how we preceived the book.
March 18th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
Larena, I know I outgrew my Barbara Cartlands and Victoria Holt books. I look back now and think about reading them thinking they were just something something and now the stuff I read is just so much better…..

OMG! I leave for 2 days and I win a book… THANKS SOOOO MUCH!!!!
Lol… I had to capitalize on my name and go drink some green beers even though I’m sick (snuffily cold)… This is especially fun for me b/c I’m a short korean-american girl named Erin living in Nebraska. I always find myself in fun conversations w/ drunk irishmen trying to convince them that I am indeed part Irish! Weather was fanastic Wednesday and Thursday (in the 60′s) which is why I wasn’t here, cuz I was outside :) and now… snow… siiiigh… fickle weather here…
But I’m now reading Blood Bound, #3 of Patricia Brigg’s Mercy Thompson series, which is awesome! I can’t remember who was saying that they wanted to start but had a long TBR pile… skip this ahead! Worth it!
K– this shy lurker won’t “talk” your ears off, I promise… It’s just hard for me sometimes to contribute cuz you all sound so wonderful… and I’m not… lol…
THANKS AGAIN!

Erin, glad you are back, hope you feel better after getting to smile from your book win and what fun you must have in Nebraska with an Irish first name! Your mixed cultural heritage is all about what makes it great to be an American. I myself am a true “mutt” as have a mix of Scotch, Irish,English, Czech and Sioux Indian in my families tree!
Have a great Friday and do not be shy, we do not bite and it is always nice to learn more about each other. After all we are all here in the spirit of fun and looking to “score” a book maybe!!!

Thanks Jackie!
I’m having a great Friday… quiet here at work. Just watching it snow and wishing for some nice spring weather… thinking of taking more cold meds… Making a grocery list… my 7 mo. old puppy loves apples and needs more… I’ll buy them for him and not for me… lol… what you do for your 4 legged kids!! Riveting stuff I know! :) everyone have a great weekend and enjoy your books!

oh, I can’t wait for summer – I’m so glad when winter feelings (and temperatures *gg*) will be over
hope you will be through with that soon!!
washing? drying? yeah, I could do that too, but afterwards I would have to iron and I HATE that
March 19th, 2010 at 10:42 am
Washing done, drying done and only involves folding as my doggie blankets and one goes on the couch and the other on the bed, still have to do the hard part mowing but grass not dry enough yet….
Right now have to go put out garbage for pickup and put up some plants again, Later!!!

My animals are my children too. My dog Sam gets pizza every Friday night – her prefers it over STEAK!
March 19th, 2010 at 11:39 am
Your pets sounds like my little brat babies.
He comes just like a dog and loves to play fetch. And he will eat anything we give him but he has a major sweet tooth. LOL
We have a puppy-cat (aka Max).
We also have the “Princess” and boy does she act like one. She is very spoiled (also is a kitty)
and we also have Wiley who is very calm and is our other puppy-cat though he doesn’t come as often as Max does.
We spoil them all very much but they are very sweet and loving so it works.
March 19th, 2010 at 11:43 am
Nothing too exciting…doing my laundry right now (giant mountainous piles *ugh*) planning on some more cleaning around the apartment…hope it’ll get done quickly so I can do some reading…
Finished Shiloh’s Fragile the day before yesterday and am now dying to read Broken but have to wait till end of month before I can buy it. *sigh* Why can’t we all have a money tree darn it!?
March 19th, 2010 at 11:46 am
Erin,
my Tigger has me wrapped around his paws so I can totally understand where you’re coming from…

Hey Jackie,
)
I’m hangin’ in there…have the last loads in the dryer but there’s still a giant bag of hand wash only stuff (which btw I refuse to do today!
I have great news I have to share…I finally found a pair of jeans that I can fit over my giant arse YAY!!! I’ve been looking for a pair for like months on end and nothing fit right…What is up with all the super low-rise pants out there? Do they really think that women want their a$$cracks to hang out? How on earth is that fashionable? I’m no longer the bulimic size 2 I was 12 years ago and the stores are soo not helping my self-esteem by having such small selections available for their curvy/full-figured customers. ARGH!!! Okay…I’m done ranting now…Sorry you guyz…I had to get that off my chest.
March 19th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Our four legged menagerie:
a dwarf rabbit
two eastern box turtle
2 dwarf hamsters
Now that it’s getting a bit warmer, both the turtles and rabbit have the run of the back yard.
March 19th, 2010 at 2:05 pm
Hope the snow ends for you soon. They are talking about us getting some on Saturday. Hopefully they are wrong.
March 19th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
lol… glad to hear that I’m not the only one to spoil a 4 legged baby… my boyfriend is the stay at home “daddy” and he gets mad b/c once I get home, baby is all about “momma”… we are almost contemplating not having actual children for fear of distrupting our “babies”! (we have a 9 yr old pointer, 5 yr old mini beagle and a “peagle”; the puppy is the son of the pointer and the beagle)
If I win the lottery, I’ll buy all of you the library of your dreams… fingers crossed!

re-post of list
*Beyond the Shadows – I’ve never read any of Jess’s books but it looks quite interesting and I want to give the series a try.
*Hunter’s Need – I’m totally addicted to Shiloh’s work…I’ve been buying & reading up all of her backlist titles..her stand alone titles are simply exquisite. The sexual tension and the heat in the books are smokin’ hot!
*Primordial – I always enjoy reading Denise’s work and I’m slowly trying to work my way through her backlist.
*I’ll Be Slaying You – I just recently started reading Cynthia’s work…I’m a devoted fan now that’s all I have to say. I read Immortal Danger & Eternal Hunter and am totally captivated by her writing.
*Doing It The Hard Way – I’ve never read TJ’s work…thanks for introducing me this new author…I just read the blurb for this storyline and am thrilled to find another great paranormal romance author to read.

@ Ina,
that sometimes happen. I would put the book back into your tbr pile and give it later a second chance. Sometimes it’s a mood thing why you can’t get into a story. That has happened very often to me and when I picked up the book again I was sometimes surprised why I had problems with it.
March 20th, 2010 at 9:41 am

here is really strange weather. It is warm and humid, but the sun isn’t shining. The sky is just grey in grey.

Wow over 1400 comments. My guess is that we will have over 2000 till April 8th.
What do you think
March 21st, 2010 at 7:53 am
@Danny: good morning to you too!
so, it’s Sunday and you should rest and enjoy that day and what am I doing? painting the walls in a great yellow
what are you doing?
March 21st, 2010 at 7:55 am
I think we will reach that before
we have enough things to talk about *gg*
March 21st, 2010 at 7:59 am
@ Ina
Oh painting walls, can be fun.
I am not doing much today. Writing reviews and reading some more.
March 21st, 2010 at 8:13 am
@Danny: yeah, after doing the preparatory operations it’s really fun
and it looks great – we will paint it a second time soon and then my furniture can come *dancing*
do you have a blog, Danny? for your reviews? I consider writing one, but I’m not entirely sure…
March 21st, 2010 at 8:24 am
@Danny, @ Ina good morning on this bright sunny, Yay, Sunday… Hope all is going well so far today for you.
Danny we will most likely hit 2000 comments by the end of this week if not sooner.
