    Love Karen Marie Moning's fever series, but still a bit unsure about Ice. Danny is a bit annoying, plus she is only 14, but I guess we will have to see what happens with the character. Occult and dark books; Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dark Hunters (Very Gothic) and The League series.

    I haven't read "Iced" yet as I'm finishing a re-read of the Fever series first. I agree about Dani, though. She is really annoying in the Fever books. My cousin said she's not as bad in "Iced" but we will see! I hear that she's going to write more about Mac after she finishes this Dani series.

    I re-read the whole series before I read Iced too. In her book she isn't nearly as annoying with her dudes and fecks and she was in Shadowfever so don't worry. At first I was really skeptical of the whole book but by the middle of it I was just as wrapped up in as I was with Dreamfever. But be prepared for only a few mentionings of Barrons and Mac. This is pretty much a Dani story with a few mentionings of Jo and the other sidhe seers.

    I love books as well, i wish i could make a living out of reading them..... Maybe I should start a blog about the books I read and maybe just maybe I can make a living out of it..... I've seriously been thinking this all week since I've read two to three books in a day, everyday this week!

    I'm really picky and find that if i can't get into the book in the first chapter it ain't happening. I find myself drawn to certain authors: Nora Roberts, Janet Evanovich (I LOVE Stephanie Plum book series!), Nicholas Sparks etc. yup i like romance novels because well i just do :smile:

    Lately because I'm poor haha I've been reading a lot of free or inexpensive books on my Kindle right now I am reading The Bad Boy Billionaire Series from Judy Angelo. (though her books aren't long and tend to have the same repeatitive words, oh well they're a kick)

    I am obsessed with Vampire Academy...... and its spin-off Bloodlines. Yeah they're vampire novels, but there's a lot more to them than that. Not like Twilight at all. Great story, great characters.

    OMG!! I can't agree more! I can't stand Twilight! Bella is sooo weak! On the other hand Vampire academy is awesome!

    I have a hard time concentrating on fiction (I know, that seems kind of weird) so I tend to read mostly nonfiction stuff. But I am planning on finally finishing Hitchhikers now that I'm out of school and have time. I love it so far.

    I'm a -HUGE- bookworm! If I'm not reading something, I get pretty antsy. Hency why I'm on MFP at wor, haha.

    Right now I'm reading The Fifth Witness (it was on our family's Nook, and I read everything else). I plan to start A Song of Fire and Ice (aka the Game of Thrones books) soon afterwards.

    I hope so, I really liked how Mac developed as a character (for some reason I could not stand her in the first book (too pink for my taste), but I'm glad I read the entire series because of her growth . There is always the possibility that Danny will develop and change too and become more rounded.

    I don't think it's weird at all! I enjoy some non-fiction (creative, science, or philosophy, mostly) right along with my fiction. It's funny, because many people I know who say they prefer non-fiction all seem to gravitate to Hitchhiker's guide!

    I am more of a listener than a reader. I spend about 2.5 to 3 hours a day in a car. Here are my favorites. Only the first one is in any order.

    Robert Jordan- Wheel of Time Series
    George RR Martin
    Robin Hobb
    Jim Butcher- the Alera series is good.
    Brandon Sanderson-mistborn and Stormlight archive.
    Joe Abercrombie- George RR martin ish, but darker.

    It is almost January 8th! It will be a happy day in my nerdy little world. . . . 21 years of reading coming to a conclusion (finally).

    From Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

    Light and Power exploded from the Dragon Reborn. He was like an entire army of channelers. Thousands of shadowspawn died. Deathgates sprang up, striking across the ground, killing hundreds. The Asha'man Naeff - standing beside Bashere - gasped. "I've never seen so many weaves at once," he whispered. "I can't track them all. He's a storm. A storm of Light and streams of Power!"
