I love fantasy books so I will have to check out the Night Huntress Series! I've also seen the Emily Griffin books and thought of reading them several times...I think I will try them too!

I am definitely checking out Night Huntress. I like the vampire/supernatural books right now. I don't know if you like that too, but a couple that I have recently read and really enjoyed are The Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison (the cover art is very similar to the Huntress). It is about a witch who is trying to make it on her own as a bounty hunter. She lives with a vampire in a church with a bunch of pixies. In each book Rachel finds out more about herself and her link to everyone around her in the super natural world. I got really hooked on these books. I actually listened to about half of them and read the others. Hope you have a great summer filled with reading!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278334133281797301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192327953933163213.post-82099436671113390112010-07-14T14:52:10.372-05:002010-07-14T14:52:10.372-05:00I loved audio books for long trips without my Hubb...I loved audio books for long trips without my Hubby - when those used to happen.

My sister lent it to me ages ago, and it was a good quick read. Have not read the Jeanine Frost books, but they look intriguing. Did you know that Something Borrowed was the first book in the "series"? It will make sense after you read it. Giffin mentions some of the characters in her later books too. :)<br /><br />Thanks so much for joining the party, and for your comment. :)Amanda @ Serenity Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483017563206007698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192327953933163213.post-30379218005044476262010-06-16T20:41:16.004-05:002010-06-16T20:41:16.004-05:00Emily Giffin and Jane Green are always good for re...Emily Giffin and Jane Green are always good for relaxing reads.
