Let's see... the library closes at 9 pm, so I rush in there at 8:30 pm to grab what I went looking for and if I'm lucky I have a few minutes to browse and grab more! ; ) <br /><br />I like the Harper Connelly series a lot! I don't know what it is about Harris' writing, but I end up strongly gravitating to her female leads... first Lily Bard and now Harper Connelly. I'm curious to know if I'll gravitate to Sookie Stackhouse, too. Someday I'll start those! :o)<br /><br />Paula... I'll be reading the last Harper Connelly book soon. I'll be sad to see it end. I like Rachel Vincent's YA series. The regular teenage issues are spot on what I remember about myself as a teen and see with my daughters now. Then she seamlessly ties in an urban fantasy legend and voila! A great YA UF! <br /><br />Brie... I'm really getting into the graphic novels! I'll let you know how I like <i>Beowulf</i>. I should be reading it soon. The graphics are very dark and gruesome. Yikes!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-37891848359514119642011-09-20T16:07:04.102-04:002011-09-20T16:07:04.102-04:00Ooh, The Beowulf graphic novel looks like it may b...Ooh, The Beowulf graphic novel looks like it may be fantastic.

I've heard a lot of people say th...samantha... <br />I've heard a lot of people say they were sad about the Harper Connelly series ending at book 4. I hope there's at least some decent, happy ending type closure for Harper there. <br /><br />I'll let you know about <i>Hunger</i>! <br /><br />Marg.. <br />I'm enjoying Kagawa's Iron Fey series. I hope you get around to trying it out. <br /><br />Leslie.. <br />I know you love the Kagawa and Vincent series. In fact, I thought of you when I got these two! <br /><br />You should definitely check out the graphic novel section at your library. There's a lot of great stuff in there--not just superhero or manga. <br /><br />Haha! On the cookbook comment! I just returned the canning book last month. LOL. Santa should just get it for me.. ;)<br /><br />Linda...<br />Glad to hear you liked <i>Hunger</i>. I think I'll read it as soon as I'm finished with the Harris books. <br /><br />little_alys...<br />Wow, you know more about <i>Hunger</i> than I do! I'll let you know what I think of it. My youngest sped read it the other day and said she thought it was creepy--but she tends to like contemporary chick lit type stories as opposed to urban fantasy, so maybe that has something to do with her response. She wanted so badly to tell me the ending, so at least that's indicative of it being interesting, right? <br /><br />Brandy...<br />A lot of interest in <i>Hunger</i>, so I'll try to read that one soonest so I can let you all know what I think of it. <br /><br />I think there are so many more interesting ways to learn the classics these days ---including graphic novels. It could be a great way to get non-readers interested in classic literature, you know? Or can be used as "cliff notes" to the full text versions. <br /><br />Alex... <br />Thanks! Hope you have a great weekend and fun reading, too. <br /><br />orannia...<br />Another vote for my reaction to <i>Hunger</i>! Looks like that one's next! ;) <br /><br />Wow, you've been busy with your reading! Good to see! :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-12720712897324240392011-09-17T04:38:04.537-04:002011-09-17T04:38:04.537-04:00Oh, a Charlene Harris glom :) I do look forward to...Oh, a Charlene Harris glom :) I do look forward to hearing what you think of Hunger.<br /><br />I was reading Kat Richardson's Labyrinth, but have put it down for the weekend to read the seventh part of Ginn Hale's The Rifter. And once I finish Labyrinth it's on to Jaida Jones' Dragon Soul (third book in the HaveMercy series...or at least I think that is what the series is called :)oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-18155704491485868292011-09-16T21:52:39.021-04:002011-09-16T21:52:39.021-04:00This is a very eclectic loot!

In Old English. Good times. *sigh* I wish Hinds had been around then to make it more interesting. <br /><br />Hope you have a fantastic weekend!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-50612320347554716432011-09-16T15:06:50.683-04:002011-09-16T15:06:50.683-04:00I heard Hunger was supposed to be very good.

All four horsemen were to have their own book where instead of bringing it, they prevent but was somehow intricately tied to the type of "apocalypse." I'm very curious.
