I signed up for the challenge this morning, but will only do Peril the Third due to time constraints.

He...Nicola, I'm excited to read Night Runner. <br /><br />Heather, isn't that the whole point of blogs...to be bad for others TBRs?<br /><br />Carl, I know. The covers are amazing. I had such fun playing around with the books and sorting them into piles. So many of those covers say read me, read me even without any descriptions attached. <br /><br />Amanda, I love reading reviews of this one. I had very low expectations of this one. But review after review keeps saying this one is good, really good. And so I'm excited to get to it and see for myself!<br /><br />Deslily, thanks for visiting. I have a hard time with self-control don't I??? And that's only half the books I wanted to read.<br /><br />Ceri and Carrie, thanks for visiting :) A few of these aren't going to be released until September and October. But some of them are available now :)<br /><br />Olduvai, I know what you mean. As I visit other participants blogs, I keep wanting to add books to my own list. <br /><br />Chris, I thought of you when I added the Vlad and Lawson. I was really disappointed that I didn't get to these (the Lawson) last R.I.P. I think I even added Witch Ember to the Once Upon A Time challenge and didn't get to it. But sooner or later, I'm going to get to these. I *really* hope it's this time.<br /><br />Monster's Notes. I've been reading some of the reviews, and they're extremely mixed. A few people seem to have "got it" and enjoyed it. But a lot of people are really not getting it and not thinking it worth the effort. I don't know where I fall yet. Part of me really wants to like it because the premise sounds amazing. But part of me thinks that it's a bit too obscure. I didn't buy it after reading the reviews, but I was happy to see it at the library. <br /><br />If you do happen to be looking for a Frankenstein related read, I'd definitely recommend the short story <a href="http://www.lcrw.net/kessel/" rel="nofollow">Pride and Prometheus by John Kessel</a>.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-90362204107934645222009-08-26T13:31:09.924-05:002009-08-26T13:31:09.924-05:00Oooh, I love your pool Becky :) Especially seeing ...Oooh, I love your pool Becky :) Especially seeing the Vlad books and John Lawson's books. They're all fantastic! Well, I can only vouch for the first Vlad book so far, but I'm sure they're all great ;) <br /><br />I bought A Monster's Notes and tried and tried, but I could NOT get into it. And I just LOVE Frankenstein. Oh well :/ It was just too philosophical and bizarre for me.chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-6591562032789507572009-08-26T11:40:22.441-05:002009-08-26T11:40:22.441-05:00I should've checked out your post before I pic...I should've checked out your post before I picked my pool!

The Vampire Kisses ones are especially gorgeous.<br /><br />Thanks for signing up this year Becky, I love having you as part of the challenges. I also see where you've commented on the sites of many of the other participants and that makes me smile. Thanks for that too.Carl V.

I'm really looking forward to reading the reviews now that I see the book starting to pop up on US blogs. Yeah, somehow I see you reading just a tad more than four :-) Have fun! Can't wait to read your reviews.Nikki in Niagarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348586723780500367noreply@blogger.com
