I'm enjoying it so far!!
DeleteI saw Nerve on the On Order list at the library, so of course I have a hold on it. It looks pretty good!
ReplyDeleteI hope I like it. Sometimes virtual reality stuff is too techy for me, but we shall see :)
DeleteI am really looking forward to Defiance. It sounds really good! I also feel the same way about steampunk and zombies so I will be on the lookout for your review for Something Strange and Deadly this week. :)
ReplyDeleteYou can check out what books I got this week here!
Ha ha -- can't wait to see what you think!!
DeleteOooh ... Defiance looks super good! I love the cover! :) I'm interested to see your review of Something Strange and Deadly!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying it so far. I had to stop reading, which is annoying, but hoping to finish today!
DeleteOoh I am looking forward to your review of Defiance. It sounds so good and its definitely calling my name. I went on a book buying spree and I hope I find time to read asap.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many late August and Sept things I want! Spree, here I come!
DeleteOh I guarantee I will find more books. Just trying to do a few at a time.
DeleteI can't wait to see what you think of Defiance! I can't remember, though...do you usually enjoy fantasy? Anyway, I'm really interested in The Brides of Rollrock Island. I've been contemplating it for awhile, but I think I'll wait for your review. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy some fantasy. Books with fantasy elements, yes. High fantasy is not so much for me. So Defiance seems to be the right amount of fantasy so far!!
Deleteoh man, I REALLY want to read Nerve!! I've read Defiance and its great!!
ReplyDeleteenjoy your books!

Defiance looks really good!!

I'm looking forward to THE BRIDES OF ROLLROCK ISLAND too.
ReplyDeleteZombies & Steampunk - what a mix up.
I hope you enjoyed Something Strange and Deadly-not my favorite book (I think Dearly Departed was better) but still a great deal of fun!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm looking forward to reading your review of SSAD. It looks amazing! And I've been wanting Defiance, so I can't wait for your giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteNerve sounds really awesome!! I have been hearing mixed things about Defiance, but I still want to read it. Can't wait to see your posts this week!
ReplyDeleteI've had a chance to be part of Nerve blog tour and I haven't accepted it! Don't ask why. I'm an idiot sometimes. Well I'll read it eventually! :)
ReplyDeleteDefiance is looking better and better. I was originally going to skip it, but it has wormed its way into my brain.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I really want to read both Defiance and Nerve! I can't wait to hear what you think of them!
