I’m in the middle of Shadowdance.
I thought about reading Reaver since I’ve read the Demonica series but after seeing some reviews that state you should read the Horsemen series 1st I’m holding off til I read those.
And I have Becoming Alpha on my TBR thanks to your review.
Shadowdance was amazing as usual; glad to see you adding another YA title to your TBR pile. 🙂
I’m going to treat myself to LoD next week & planning to read Shadowdance after.
Maybe Santa will bring you a book or two for Xmas!
Yay! Just downloaded Brazen =)
I think I’m going to buy the limited edition hardcover just so I can stare at the pretty cover in person.
We won’t mention how many I got this week…we’ll just count them as Christmas presents to myself ‘kay 🙂
Hehe That makes perfect sense to me!
