I'll be interested to see what you think of Maker's Song. I really like that series. Hope you do too. Also, your new author choice b/c I have that TBR also.

I'm looking forward to both. I've heard good things about Maker's Song, and you know I'm a fan of dark, and Draw the Dark looks like it'll fit the bill. :)

I do. I think you'll enjoy it.

I changed A Rush of Wings to Nightwalker. I'm still reading A Rush of Wings, and I know we can cross challenge--I'm the queen :)--but with these little challenges, I try not to cross challenge within the same group, if I can help it. Just a little quirk of mine. :)

So I'm reading it for "tattoo" on the Cover Hunt challenge. :)

I'm in :)

1. PNR: My Way to Hell by Dakota Cassidy
2. MYSTERY: Cross Your Heart by Michele Bardsley
3. NEW TO YOU AUTHOR: Secondhand Spirits by Juliet Blackwell

Okay! dumb question, what the diff between Mystery and Suspense?

Suspense doesn't always have a mystery but it generally does. You often see shelves labelled Mystery & Suspense.

Suspense usually means action, say someone trying to kill someone else - ie this isn't always a mystery cause everyone knows who it is. Mystery would be trying to find out who dunnit!

No one will mind if you pick a suspense story instead of a mystery Wan.

Nope, no one will mind :)

Megan - what did you think of Need?

I was actually really surprised because I didn't think I would like it that much but I did. I did think the ending was a bit rushed though, but that could just be he tiredness talking! :)

I'm glad you liked it, Inga. Really looking forward to #2 later this year! Interested to see what you think of NCK.

Funny, you're reading those two in the same order I did. I think I might've liked NCK better if I hadn't read it right after such a great book. Dunno.

Well, I liked Body Movers enough that I immediately read the next five in the series. :)

Hooray, Jodi!

You need to put stars against them so we can see what's worth reading Jodi!!

Wow, that's great.
