Book 5 just came out and she is working on 6... great premise.<br /><br />I like the Dark Days but there is no HEA either, its very much an urban fantasy and only just touches on some romantic tension. Good series, good world tho. <br /><br />Oh and the Hunger Games is FANTASTIC! My favorite YA series, surpassing the Morganville Vamps ;) I am waiting not so patiently for book 3 which is the last one (August).Tiffany @ KindleVixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10571951832223336180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005037379064329761.post-51504847268492854742010-06-07T22:04:46.033+10:002010-06-07T22:04:46.033+10:00Oh, wow - that's some list!

I know it's a very popular series but I didn't care for it.<br /><br />Three Days to Dead and those Rob Thurman books look good.Patti (@TheLoveJunkee)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01732605328006594727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005037379064329761.post-2758963206437719812010-06-07T18:40:17.344+10:002010-06-07T18:40:17.344+10:00awesome post hehe and thanks for the mentions LOL
...awesome post hehe and thanks for the mentions LOL<br /><br />ok, so here is my two cents:<br /><br />I LOVE the sign of the zodiac series and I can guarantee they are a great read|!<br /><br />I love MaryJanice Davidson, I dont know why I havent felt like checking out her YA series... though I do think you should check out her werewolf series and her Gorgeous series and het Alaskan Family one too... They are all awesome and very into the romance thing =)))<br /><br />The Dark Days series is great! there is a potential romance but its only slowly getting there... its not a strategy I beloieve... it is very in tune with the characters... I think things might pick up in book 4... speacially since book 5 has such a steamy pick on the cover =)<br /><br />you already know Im a fan of the Leandros brothers! they totally rock! though its not a series that has any focus on romance... beware<br /><br />I LOVED the Hunger games and the second book was awesome too... since you havent read it, I recommend you waiting for book 3 and reading the trilogy back to back so you wont suffer with the killing cliff-hanger at the end of book 2<br /><br />Three days of dead is great =) I have the ARC for the sequel and I should read it soon! Romance is not the focus though =)<br /><br />well, I hope I helped and made things worse hehe<br /><br />xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029884909672059641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005037379064329761.post-42883354755687178352010-06-07T11:03:05.697+10:002010-06-07T11:03:05.697+10:00While I have to preface this comment by saying I h...While I have to preface this comment by saying I haven't read any of the other books on your TBR list, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you read the Rob Thurman books first.<br /><br />Hahahaha! Gotta love the subtlety, right?<br /><br />Those books are fantastic and it's one of those rare series that I feel really get better with age.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575102289771053822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005037379064329761.post-72599660286472972922010-06-07T10:39:30.719+10:002010-06-07T10:39:30.719+10:00The only ones out of this list that I've read ...The only ones out of this list that I've read are the Mercy Hollings books by Toni Andrews - at least, I've read the first two of them. I liked the premise - the idea that the lead character can control other people's minds. I enjoyed the books although I didn't LOVE them, and was just recently thinking about picking the third one up. One thing about them, although there is a romance, it is not the main focus of the book, so if you are in a romance mood, I don't think these would satisfy you.JenMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381388317577838604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005037379064329761.post-42503120949527893772010-06-06T23:10:58.071+10:002010-06-06T23:10:58.071+10:00Oh I love this post.

That's one impressive tbr pile!
I myself ...Wow! That's one impressive tbr pile!<br />I myself just started the first book of Signs of the Zodiac series, but can't tell you yet if it's any good as I only read two chapters sofar.<br /> I can advice Hunger Games, it's pretty good although it borrows heavily from Battle Royal. I didn't like the second book of this trilogy though even though everyone else seems to love it. I thought the author was using cheap tricks to score and was pulling rabbits out of hats to make things happen. <br />A friend of mine loves this series and will probably buy the third book, which will be the only reason I'll read it as I can borrow it from her.Sullivan McPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133432350331782496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005037379064329761.post-47373781332456776462010-06-06T19:56:52.220+10:002010-06-06T19:56:52.220+10:00Wow great selections :-D
