I really need to check out Butterfly by Deidre Knight, I've heard so much from this novel and all good. So Shannon McKenna with Out Of Control didn't do it for you huh, that's a bummer and Covet too hhmmmm I had such high hopes, still have my hopes only not so high any more LOL
And an incredible reading list Susi, I hope you have an even better 2010.
Yay! You just made my day. I hope 2010 brings even better reads for you!
@Leontine Butterfly Tatoo is really outstanding good. Out of Control was like reading the first 2 books again. Hope you have a great year 2010 too!
@Jaye *fangirl squee* Enjoy your cake! And thanks for stopping by! Have a great year 2010!
Great list!!! I still need to read Lauren Dane and Devon Monk...especially after your awesome reiview!
Wonderful list! I really want to read the Deidre Knight book. I'm holding out for the print release in February.
Happy New Year!
Great List! I have only read one of the books in your top 10 list - Lover Avenged. I didn't like it quite as much as you did. Rev just didn't do it for me.
I just started the Kate Daniel's series and plan to continue with it. I also have the Well's book on my list too.
Susi,
Happy New Year!!!
What an awesome list!!! I don't know if I can compile all I have read in 2009, because I wasn't keeping track - but I am going to start making my list for 2010 - so stay tuned for New Years 2011 to see all my reading glory! LOL
I saw that you didn't like Skinwalker by Faith Hunter - I have it here but haven't read it yet - don't let not liking that book deter you from reading her Rogue Mage Series/Trilogy. I loved all three books in it & hope she decides to write more in that world.
Susi,
Very nice batch of books there. :) I have Crux and Silent Blade on my wish list.
Happy New Year!!
M
Great list! I'm sad you didn't like The Laughing Corpse... can't win them all though. Lots of books on your list that I have waiting to read :)
Have a fantastic New Year too! xx
@Mandi oh do that! You won't regret it!
@Sarah I plan to buy the real book too! An absolute must have!
@Jill D I so love Rhev. He's one of my favorite characters in that series! Luckily we don't all like the same men or the world would be one big catfight!
@Heather Can't wait for that list. Perhaps I will try her other books. When you like them I will probably too.
@Michelle I loved both. Will review Crux as soon as possible.
@BCC I think LKH is lost for me. Don't know why everyone seems to love her books.
Wonderful list, hon! I've got Lauren Dane's Laid Bare on my ereader and also another book by Ilona Andrews! Good to see these authors in your top 10!
Have a Guten Rutsch too and a Happy New Year, sweetie! (or as we say in Dutch: Gelukkig Nieuw Jaar!) :D
Happy New year!
Many great books there, I really must try Monk
Happy New Year!
I have On the Edge I'd like to get to soon. It sounds great!
I hope you have a wonderful year :D
@Janna You will so love these books! Happy New year to you too!
@Blodeuedd Happy new year and yes you really must!
@Amy C On the Edge is great! I'm such a Ilona Andrews addict! LOL
Happy New Year!
I'm bookmarking this page so i can come back and pick a books i haven't read in the future. I love your top 10, there are a few i haven't read but really want to (will be pre-ordering Dear Sir, I'm yours for exemple)
I think it's a good idea to keep track of what i'm reading i will start doing so this year too =)
Have a great week end Susi =)
Wow! You read a lot of books! Congrats on your accomplishment!
@pattepoilue Yeah, I did that too. LOL I like the idea too and I will try to make the monthly thing too. A good way to not forget if I liked the book or not and why.
Hope you have a great week too.
@Lily Child Thanks hon. It was a good year. Hope I can read as much books this year too.
OMG, Susi, you just totally made my year! That's what I get for missing a few blog posts... I'm so honored that Dear Sir made your top 10 list!
