She is phenomenal! READ HER NOW, she is so much fun! The Edge series is good, but I only read the first two books and I know that I prefer Ilona and Gordon's Kate Daniels series, there is just so much more spark and insane chemistry in it.<br />I would say you've done really well again, although you have to be dead sure about freebies if you want to go through a lot of your kindle books. Sometimes you download things on a whim and they are not necessarily what you'd like. And they pile up...<br />Have a great week and enjoy all your reads, hon! :)kara-karina@Nocturnal Book Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262585710463536717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341428574937381261.post-57288296010538091382012-12-09T20:35:52.918+00:002012-12-09T20:35:52.918+00:00I can't wait to read 4th Grave.

I'm pretty sure this well thought out theory would hold up in a court of law (well maybes...)<br /><br />Like you I love Ilona Andrews but I'm more of a Kate Daniels fan than The Edge fan, I've read the first book and have the second sitting on my shelf unread. I'm thinking of doing a little catch up with my favourite series challenge by myself next year as I have quite a few UF and PNR on my shelf (including the Charley Davidson series too!)<br /><br />Have a great week Mel:) Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514199000458672267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341428574937381261.post-51844383809213007022012-12-09T12:40:31.436+00:002012-12-09T12:40:31.436+00:00The charley davidson books was awesome!

In future I really need to lay out some ground rules and think about what I actually want to achieve with future book buying bans - is it reducing TBR pile or saving money? Some good learnings for the next one!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12232105105688358961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341428574937381261.post-43338099469073697652012-12-09T08:41:33.732+00:002012-12-09T08:41:33.732+00:00I am unsure about the new Edge book, I loved book ...I am unsure about the new Edge book, I loved book 1, liked book 2, disappointed in book 3, it just went downhillBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341428574937381261.post-12412833969664299082012-12-09T07:27:59.175+00:002012-12-09T07:27:59.175+00:00When I was on my ban I didn't get any freebies...When I was on my ban I didn't get any freebies either, just sayin'! ;-) Of course it's entirely up to you what you allow yourself to do (or not).<br />That said, I decided not to buy any books this month. Then again I should add I stocked up on quite a few books in November all of which I will finally present in today's Postman Files. <br />BTW I have this slight suspicion that book buying bans only really work when you keep them up until the bitter end aka until your TBR pile only consists of one single book!? What a scary thought ...Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307461298661584480noreply@blogger.com
