And I would have to add to my prior comment and say that GOTH is #1 and SOAS is right on its heals. What beautiful, beautiful writing. And yeah... poor Toby. LOL. Truthfully, Bella didn't impress me the way Lucy and Sophia did. I connected with Lucy and Sophia in so many ways. I liked Bella, but she didn't capture me like Lucy and Sophia did. <br /><br />I can't wait for Tessa Dare's next trilogy! <br /><br /><br />Something tells me you're gonna be done with the In Death series by the summer. ;pChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-33398918407899356212010-01-07T23:50:20.710-05:002010-01-07T23:50:20.710-05:00LOLOL!

Right now, I'm just waiting for the next one to come into my library (had to order it through the county cause, of course, my library doesn't have it).<br /><br />And I absolutely loved GOTH. If I'd done a favorite hero post, Jeremy and Gray would have both made the list, I think.

That's so cool. :) <br /><br /><i>Goddess of the Hunt</i> by Tessa Dare is possibly my #1 favorite read of 2009. *sigh* So good.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-3497325507547352192010-01-05T17:18:22.488-05:002010-01-05T17:18:22.488-05:00Leslie: the sad thing was that Sophia was so great...Leslie: the sad thing was that Sophia was so great in the first book she appeared in. Dunno what happened to turn her so BORING.<br /><br />Nath: I think I'll be messing with Christine all year, LOL!<br /><br />Wendy: You should start with her DoH series or the Malloy series. True hard westerns. Talk to me about it this weekend or shoot me an email...<br /><br />Nikki: I did remember you spent a few years over there. If you had a hard time with Kite Runner, don't go anywhere near A Thousand Splendid Suns! It's more depressing, and it's about the subjection of women. Ugh. But an excellent book nonetheless.<br /><br />And oh darn! I realize I meant to put Daring Time by Beth Kery somewhere on my list. I loved that and Wicked Burn.

Wow about Kite Runner. I started t...Great list! <br /><br />Wow about Kite Runner. I started that book but didn't read too much of it. Couldn't handle it. <br /><br />I lived in Kuwait for 3 years over 25 years ago. (Don't know if you knew that) I went to an American School but it was populated with many different nationalities. I came to know the whole Arab/Islamic culture very well and it was through the eyes of a teenage girl. Most of my friends were Arab/Islamic. Some girls/women were more free than others. I will never forget my best friend, Dina Mohammed. She was Egyptian and she was promised to marry her first cousin. She didn't like him, hated him in fact. I often told her she had a choice and she could get say no. She said she couldn't. When I left Kuwait at 15 1/2 years old I wanted to keep in touch with Dina but she said no she couldn't her father wouldn't let her. I still think of her often. I hope she is happy.<br /><br />I left there (Kuwait) being so grateful I was born American. We have many, many problems but our girls can make their own decisions about our own lives. <br /><br />I am grateful for my time there. I got to know so many wonderful people.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404478354346691446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18010424.post-88676684272913094542010-01-05T11:30:07.460-05:002010-01-05T11:30:07.460-05:00Must.

I was meh about Sophia and happy with Decker and Tracy together. I think I'm one of the few that liked Tracy even before DoN. :)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.com
