NOT MANY! I was so sad! I only ended up getting one Guardian book and no Queen Betsys! Borders was low on both authors - that's what I get for not ordering online! ;) I'm still reading Crossed :] I've been reading it on the lightrail. Poor Gregor is being pulled all over the place!

I like them a lot - they are both actually really good, and it's only the first book! I actually got really into the characters, which is rare for "first books" of a series. I got to know the main characters best, but the "leading men" aren't as well known...yet! (and rightfully so).

I'm about to go on amazon and order books XD

I already finished the books (saturday). I'm so bad. but in a good way! now, which series should i obsess about first....?

Do they get more romancy? Both series only dabbled in a bit of romance - I think even Janet Evanovich has more romance, she she's in the mystery section! The books are total brain candy though = thanks for the recommendations!

I would recommend A Rose for the Crown and I see that you have it in your library TBR. It's a wonderful novel and I couldn't believe it was her debut. Very beautiful story!

Along with our first name we also share MANY books in common! I was named after the youngest daughter in Little Women - what about you?

BTW - your picture is gorgeous!

I started reading Charlaine Harris' "Sookie Stackhouse" books. They are paranormal books but not "hardcore." They have the darling-est covers. Darling-est!!!

[Dead Until Dark] is the first book. :]

dang you've been busy!!

i'm getting back to my online world. the vacation did not allow any online access - aka it was too expensive :]

You can "watch" the Early Reviewer group, but no one can actually join it. The "Standing Groups" are like that. Hope you get a book!

You've read a lot of what I have. I do recommend "The Sunne in Splendour" by Sharon Kay Penman, any of The Queens of England series by Jean Plaidy, also "London" and "Sarum" by Edward Rutherford are really good. You have a lot in your library I am looking forward to reading.

Heck yeah! :] I'm out all next week (CRUISE baby! SD, Catalina Island, Ensenada). Anytime after next week is fine with me. Any ideas? Food? Of course food. Hehe. What else? I'd love to see your place - I haven't been back since we had book club at your place last summer.

GOOD IDEA! You got me all excited. I'm so going to use a "want" tag, plus "donated" and "DNO" (do not own). :o)

posted by cflorente at 11:57 am (EST) on Apr 16, 2008

Now i'm thinking.....I've had to donate a ton of books....so do i add them to the list because i read them or only add books i physically have?

posted by cflorente at 11:08 am (EST) on Apr 15, 2008
