Top 10 Books books i'm looking forward in 2012

Last day for this event and we project ourselves in the futur, which books i'm looking forward next year. There are several and even some that i've read the first one to start with  so i hope i won't be  disappointed  but hey we can hope.

I've decided not to post a cover for these one because, they don' necessary exist already and  it would be more easy.

1: Endlessly by Kiersten White, hardback ( last book of the paranormalcy serie)
2: Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost
3: Biting Cold by Chloe Neill
4: Pure from Jennifer Armentrout ( such a great cover)
5:Psi Changeling tome 3 from Nalini Singh, french edition  by Milady
6:Minuit tome 6 from Lara Adrian, milady french edition
7: Succubus tome 5, french edition by Milady
8: andrea's books ( no title yet) spin off of Kate daniels serie.
9: Oracles' moon, Elders race serie tome 4 by Thea Harrison
10:Deity by Jennifer Armentrout


To be honest my top priority were at first Kate Daniels 6 and the New Mercy Thompson books but both were reschelduled to be published in 2013 so i have to be very very patient.

All the best and in advance Happy New year

top 10 of 2011 day 4: Characters

The topic of today must be based on Characters so after several attempts, i've decided to choose as my topic: my top 10 of shapeshifters that i would like to have as a friend ( or boyfriend for somes males. )

1° Adam from the Mercy Thompson serie by Patricia Briggs.
So loyal, he protect his pack well and in the same time he can stand some non members on his territory.Intelligent , he doesn't give up on what he wished even if it takes time. And he has a great sense of humor. A perfect alpha ( an a wolf to make it even better)

2° Dragos from the elder races serie by Thea Harrison. A dragon, that's not sommon and he managed to get under his wing and reign several kind of shapeshifters, not so easy. Very intelligent he is also very possessive but he can be  selfness when it's needed .

3° Curran from Kate daniels serie by ilona Andrews. Perseverant, humor , great fighter, old power, fair ruler a lot of quality even if he is very possessive too he tries to bend his rules a bit to let a small place for independence as long as he can surpervise^^;;

4° Pia from the Elder races serie by thea Harrison. What a great friend, loyal, honest and with the gift of healing i like this kind of unicorn.

5° Mahon from the Kate daniels serie by Ilona Andrews. I can hate his decision sometimes i must admit that he is a perfect exemple of shapeshifters, loyal,  fierce fighter and very protective. i much prefer to have this bear on my side than as an opponent.

6° Lucan from Psy changeling serie by Nalini Singh. A big big cat ^^;; with all his qualities and defaults: curiosity, playfulness etc. He is very loyal and has the respect from his pack...perhaps a bit too much of cuddling with packmembers (what?! i can be possessive too^^;;)

7° Elena from the women of otherworlds by Kelley Armstrong. She is very independant and always there for her friend. But, where she is Clayton is there too and i'm not so sure he is so happy to share^^;;

8° Jim from the Kate Daniels serie by Ilona Andrews. Again a "cat "^^;; i like them even if i prefer the wolves. I mean is should be a great friend but he is so paranoïac and independant that i won't be easy  even he is very loyal and protective. He should speak his mind a bit more

9° Dali from kate Daniels serie by Ilona Andrews. A white tiger so great even more she like langages and history how cool it's that . I would love to have her as my friend and she doesn't like blood so i won't risk an injury too easily ^^;;

10° Dereck from the Kate Daniels serie by Ilona Andrews. A wolf yes but he lost points by not following orders ( direct orders!!) from his alpha. Anyway he is loyal and protective so he is on this top.


Believe me it wasn't easy for me to decide which topic to do for today's post but after seeing the majority of vampire in my top boyfriend i decided to honor a bit the shapeshifters too.
Perhaps we have something in common.

all the best and see you tomorrow for the last day of this  great even.

Top 10 Book Boyfriends in 2011

Hello,
       third day of Top 10 of 2011 and it's consacred to the book Boyfriend, based on books read in 2011.Who do i wish could be mine.
Not so easy to decide but it's not as difficult as it could be.

1: Bones from the Night Huntress Serie from Jeaniene Frost. Really so loyal, honest and perseverant..if your forguet all the past mistress he is perfect.

2: Adam: From Mercy Thompson Serie from Patricia Briggs. Also very perseverant and funny; i admire the fact that he tried to let Mercy be independant when she wish to be and how kind he is waiting for her.

3: Curran from Kate Daniels Serie by ilona Andrews.  It was hard to decide at wich place to put it... he is loyal, funny but also he can be very oppressive, i guess what works in his favor was that he still decided to trust her when leraning who was her father and perseverance counts a lot for me.

4: Dragos from the Elders race serie by Thea Harrison. Possesive witha good sense of humor he decide to be himself for the one he love. So cute and the way he can be so gentle when needed and fierce with his ennemies. A good alpha

5: Lucas Hunter from Psi changeling serie by Nalini Singh. Loyal to his pack but still he doesn't give up his soulmate and even help her when she forbids him to do it .  Wonderful

6: Lucan Thorne from the Midnight serie by Lara Adrian he is loyal and protective but not oppressive so yes i like him.

7: Dante from the Guardians of Eternity by Alexandra Ivy. He is ready to stay a slave to protect his loved one and he is demonstrative. Perfect.

8: Dante ( another one^^) from  the Midnight serie by lara Adrian. Also fiercely protective, he keep his promise and can be so kind when it's needed.

9:Vlad from the Night Huntress Serie by Jeaniene Frost. I mean he is still loyal to his late wife, can be funny and protective, he is quite good for me.

10: Jim from the Kate Daniels Serie by Ilona Andrews.  Only place 10 because he is loyal yes but so protective that he doesn't express his love at all. And i need a boyfriend who show me and tell me that he loves me.


So if analyse this list: more vampire than shapeshifters ( i guess i've read more books about vampire this year^^;;) the common aspect of them is their loyalty , protectiveness and perseverance. Where is my soulmate now....

Do we have someone in common on our list? Who and why did you choose him ( them)?


all the best

Emlyn Chand, author of Farsighted

"Psychic or not, you'll never see the end for this one coming! Emlyn Chand is pioneering 'the next big thing' for YA." ~ Emily Reese, author of Second Death

Alex Kosmitoras may be blind, but he can still “see” things others can’t. When his unwanted visions of the future begin to suggest that the girl he likes could be in danger, he has no choice but to take on destiny and demand it reconsider.

Monster Mash: Emlyn says… I. AM. WEREWOLF! And why's that you ask? First off, my name (Chand) literally means moon in Sanskrit. Next, werewolves are super cool--we can blend in with common folk, and then out of nowhere, kapow! I'm a werewolf, and I sure am hungry. Lastly, Team Jacob 100%. Now excuse me while I cock back my head and howl at my namesake.

Patti Larsen, author of Family Magic

"Patti Larsen is truly gifted because I read Family Magic cover to cover and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next installment!" ~  from Goodreads review

Sixteen-year-old Sydlynn Hayle is the daughter of a powerful witch and a demon lord, but she just wants to be ordinary. When her coven comes under attack, Syd must face the fact only her power can save her family's magic.

Monster Mash: Patti says… I am a witch. Naturally. I weave spells with my words, cast incantations from my keyboard, mix up the very best potions in my cauldron of documents. You want to stay on my good side. Trust me. Unless you enjoy waking up as something... unnatural.

Kimberly Kinrade, author of Forbidden Mind

"Forbidden Mind is a thrilling, dark and deeply romantic read that had me sitting on the edge of my seat and eagerly awaiting the next installment." ~Refracted Light Young Adult Book Reviews

Paranormal teens with unimaginable powers. An evil organization with deep secrets. When Sam, a girl who reads minds, meets a boy who controls minds, she discovers her future isn't what she thought. Together they must escape and free the others… or risk losing everything—and everyone—they love.

Monster Mash: Kimberly says… I may look like a demon, but I'm actually a succubus. Enchanting and seductive, I weave stories that will fuel your passions and make you fall in love. But be warned… once you fall under the spell of my words, your world will never be the same.

John Corwin, author of The Next Thing I Knew

Corwin does a phenomenal job of including humor throughout this novel. This book was like . . . Ghost (the movie) meets The Host (by Stephanie Meyer) meets MIB (Men In Black the movie). ~Maryann, Chapter by Chapter

The afterlife is the last thing on Lucy’s mind until she and every other human on the planet drop dead and find themselves in the hereafter. Lucy drags her social life back from the grave and enlists her friends to figure out the rules of the afterlife and, more importantly, to discover who or what killed everyone and why anyone would do such a mean thing.

Monster Mash: John says… I am a ninja. After all, vampires are simply ninjas with fangs. They can hide in plain sight, right in your living room. Jump out and scare the wits out of you. Drop a smoke bomb and poof! All you’re left with is stinky smoke in your house and soiled underclothes.
