Great post! And thanks so much for the award! :D
Jo, you are most welcome!
So excited for the C.L. Wilson books!! I heard she was doing a fifth for the Tairen Soul series..is that true, plus three more in the series or just three more? Am I making any sense?
I also read the review of Sister of the Dead and it has me quite intrigued!
I'm excited also, I really enjoyed this series. Happy to see Bel & Gaelen get their own books, especially Gaelen. I read about the fifth book over at Katiebabs' blog. The fifth book is suppose to be named Tairen Soul.
I loved the Dhamphir series. It's one where you start rooting for the bad guys as well as the good guys, a lot of emotional conflict. The romance in this series is very minimal, it's there, just not much.
Bel is one of my fav characters:)
BEA is like book heaven. If you ever get the chance, do go. And if its in NY again I would love to meet up with you there! The only semi disappointing thing was there was not much UF. Most of the focus seemed to be on YA. I guess that's a growth area in publishing right now. I got a lot of YA books.
Janicu, I would love to go to BEA, especially in NYC, and it would be awesome to meet you. Maybe I'll be able to one of the next times. I've got a couple of YA books in my TBR, that I'm going to give a try but like you I really do like Urban Fantasy. At least you went away with a bunch of goodies. :)
OH wow thanks so much for that award. It's wonderful. I love the blog here it is so informative. I think I am going to surf it a few minutes longer after this comment. Thanks so much again!
OHHH that is so wonderful to hear about CL Wilson! I LOVE her writing. Her Fading Land series is just amazing. I really should do some browsing through the books before the fourth one releases.
I was thinking about doing the same thing, but I'll do it right before Queen of Song and Souls comes out. I was so psyched about it being released in June. But it was pushed back to November was the last I had heard. :(

I love hearing from everyone. Tell me what your thinking.
