This weeks question comes from JoAnne at The Fairytale Nerd...
Q: What is the best book you've read in the last month? What is the worst book you've read in the last month?
Hmmm....ok. Toughy again. Oh I know!!!
Worst - The Harlequin by Laurell K Hamilton (Anita Blake #15). To be honest I'm getting rather tired of this series. What started out as a very promising series has been grossly stretched out so much that I no longer see the elements that made me fall in love with Guilty Pleasures. I mean, who exactly is Anita in a relationship with?? She just seems to sleep with anything that moves! I am seriously contemplating giving up completely!

Best - Archangel's Kiss by Nalini Singh (Guild Hunter #2). It's about the 3rd time I've read Archangel's Kiss and I'm still blown away by the writing. I love Elena and Raphael as a couple...they just fit so well, I can't wait for more from them. PLUS we are introduced to all members of Raphael's Seven - including the mysterious Aodhan (though my heart will always belong to Illium *sigh*). Cannot fault it one bit.

What are your best and worst?
Talk soon!

I haven't heard of either of those, but Archangel's Kiss looks really good! Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you have a good Friday :)
Here's my FF!
There are very few series that can last more than 5 to 7 books. Babysitters club, nancy drew, Ramona....
Harry Potter, honestly, probably could have done it.

I've heard a few people say exactly the same thing about the Anita Blake series but I'm still going to give it a try. Haven't heard of the other one but I've been hearing great things about her books so I may give it a try!
New follower here, your blog is so cute! :)

I've only read one of her series, but I love Nalini Singh! Her writing is fantastic. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I haven't read any of those two books yet, but I think I might give the first book series a shot!

Haven't heard of these, but glad to hear you liked the first one! New follower through GFC! Feel free to check out my F&F here.

I love, love, LOVE Nalini Singh.
Haven't heard of this other series you mentioned. It's sad when one starts out great, but goes on and on and on to become just so-so or even rather *blah!!*
Happy Friday :-)

The way you feel about Anita Blake is the exact way I feel about HON. I refuse to go within five feet of those books without hissing. I loved them so much in the beginning that I devoured them. Now? I can't even bear to look at the covers.
@Rebecca
I'm assuming you are talking about the House of Night series and I feel the same about that too...the ones up to book 4 were good but I haven't loved the later ones.
Really debating whether the next one is worth the time, I can only give a series so many chances!
