April Book--Hollowland by Amanda Hocking

Hey chicks! Has everyone started the April book yet? I know alot of you are actually DONE already, lol! Speed readers:)


Synopsis from Barnes & Noble:

"This is the way the world ends - not with a bang or a whimper, but with zombies breaking down the back door."
Nineteen-year-old Remy King is on a mission to get across the wasteland left of America, and nothing will stand in her way - not violent marauders, a spoiled rock star, or an army of flesh-eating zombies.

Oooo, sounds good:) 
I downloaded this for my Nook but have NO IDEA where to get this book if you don't have one. If you have a paperback or Kindle version, please share here where you got it for those who don't have a Nook! 
Domo Arigato;)
On that note, if you DID get this on your Nook, does it show it having like 679 pages? Mine does, but every time I "turn the page" the page number skips 3. I'm not missing any content, but it's weird how the formating on this Nook book is working, lol!

Amy is our hosetess this month and she'll be posting discussion questions in a couple weeks, yay!!!

Happy reading, Chicklits!

Kiss of Midnight -- Discussion #3

I want to talk about our our fearless heroine today! We were talking in the previous thread about how Gabrielle followed her instincts to rogue lairs and vampire shelters without knowing why. She thought the photos she took were interesting pieces of art, which they no doubt were! I sort of wish there were pictures in this book, I'd love to see her photos!
Do you think it was foolish of her to leave after she let Lucan drink from her? He was upset with himself, having thought he'd killed her because of his bloodlust. She mistakes his anger for not wanting her there and leaves the compound to go back home, to where she thought she "belonged". With all she knew about vampires, rogues, and minions, was she silly to leave the safety of the compound? What would you have done?

Change for the May book

Hey everybody, wanted to duck in and let you guys know that our book for May has changed. Kristy wanted to change it to something else so check out the schedule on the right column. Hopefully no one went out and bought the previous book, but if you have, well...you can never have too many books:)

Kiss of Midnight -- Discussion #2

Okay girls, I took Billy to the airport this morning and I'm just too upset today to come up with a discussion prompt, so lets just talk about what we DID like and what we DIDN'T like about the book. I can't think of much I didn't like, lol! How about you?

Kiss of Midnight-Discussion #1

Hey Chick-lits and friends! Sorry the discussion is starting so late, I have a few things going on here on the home front;)

I realize some of you may not be finished yet, so I want to start out discussing things we've all read by now to minimize spoilage;)

Let's discuss the mythology behind the Vampires existence in this book/series. What do you think of the origins of the Vampire species, as described in Kiss of Midnight? The Vampires (even though that's not what they called themselves, that's what they essentially were) crash-landed on earth many many years ago. Their digestive systems were far too advanced to survive on human food/plants and therefore had to survive off of human blood, the only thing they could find with the proper nutrients to sustain them. Did you find these origins more or less "believable" than some mutant race bent on the slaughter of mankind, drinking blood to humor themselves?? Also, wasn't it interesting that these ancient Vampires were supposedly responsible for all the missing civilizations of times past, like Atlantis and the Mayans?

Everybody close to being done with KOM?

I'm trying to get a feel for when we've all read the book so we can start discussing it without worrying about spoilers. Please post here and let me know if you've read it or not. If you're not finished, no rush! As long as you've STARTED the book, we can discuss the beginning of the book:) I was wanting to start discussion questions on the 15th, but I may push that back a few days depending on who still isn't finished...
