Blood Promise FTW!
[Reply]
jasper fforde and either his Nursery Crimes novels or his Thursday Next series! You actually go from an AU Britain into classic books like Jane Eyre and pinochio
[Reply]
I voted for Blood Promise, Hunting Ground and other. I just ordered Thorn Queen and am so excited I can’t stand it. That UPS guy better watch out, he is going to be attacked.
[Reply]
I voted for Maggie Stiefvater’s Shiver, not only because the synopsis sounds great, but also because she did such a lovely job with her trailer. If authors wonder whether trailers help persuade people to buy books, for that particular book, that particular trailer,and this particular reader they do!
[Reply]
darkest wispher, blood promise and unbound can’t wait for these three
[Reply]
Bad Moon Rising, The Darkest Whisper & DreamFever my buys for this month!
[Reply]
Blood Promise by Richelle Mead is first on my list!
Can’t wait! And I also voted Unbound (love Melissa Marr) & Other (for Meridian by Amber Kizer)
[Reply]
Blood Promise by Richelle Mead is what i am waiting for. Already ordered and only 13 days and 23 hours left give or take….
[Reply]
I voted. I am waiting on Sherrilyn Kenyon even though I still have her last couple of books to get though. I still need to read Ash’s book. I know, huh?? lol
Great poll Rachel!
[Reply]
Had to click the Kenyon, but my most eagerly awaited paranormal/UF is Jory Strong’s latest which was ordered yesterday.
ssssssqqqqquuuuuueeee
lol
[Reply]
BLOOD PROMISE!
So soon yet still so long…
But I’m waiting for Cape storm too and a couple of others. I don’t think there’s a time where I’m not waiting for a book to come out.
[Reply]
totally Unbound! It has two of my favorite authors in it!
[Reply]
Nice Girls Don’t Date Dead Men by Molly Harper,Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs, and one that wasn’t on the list DREAMFEVER by Karen Marie Moning
[Reply]
I just HAD to go with this one. I mean, really.. Dimitri & The Dark Side? What could compete with that?
‘Blood Promise’ - Richelle Mead.
[Reply]
I chose…
Blood Promise by Richelle Mead-I have been waiting for this release before I start the SERIES!
Tall, Dark & Fangsome by Michelle Rowen- I am currently reading this series
Other- The Golden City by John Twelve Hawks (not sure what genre this is classified as) and Tempted by PC Cast
[Reply]
Richelle’s, Jackquelyn’s and Gena’s. All my favorite authors. If only Charlaine Harris had something coming out this month (besides an anthology).
[Reply]
RETRIBUTION - Jeanne C Stein
UNBOUND - by Kim Harrison, Melissa Marr, Jeaniene Frost, Vicki Pettersson, Jocelynn Drake
VANISHED - Kat Richarddson
[Reply]
Bad Moon Rising by Kenyon and Bengal’s Heart by Lora Leigh
Love these authors
[Reply]
Blood Promise all the way!!!!
Then my second choice would be My Soul To Take which I just got in the mail today, very excited!
Already pre-ordered BP so yeah, can’t wait to read the much anticipated installment of the VA series.
[Reply]
I voted for Blood Promise and Bad Moon Rising. One book I did not see, and one I have been waiting for forever is Dream Fever by Karen Marie Moning.
[Reply]
I’m waiting for: Unbound (looking for Jeaniene Frost & Vicki Pettersson Stories), Hunting Ground By Patricia Briggs and Hell.Com By Patrick Sénécal ( It’s french… But i’m speaking French…)
[Reply]
Just picked up Cape Storm and Vanished. The other one I so can not wait for is Blood Promise but there are others that I will buy.
[Reply]
Blood Promise is the book I am most looking forward too. I am completely desperate for it lol. The other books I voted for were My Soul To Take and Hunting Ground. But honestly, past Blood Promise, everything else I can easily wait for lol
[Reply]
I already bought and read Bad Moon Rising (LOVED IT!) so that takes that one out of the running!! So I’m going with Tall Dark & Fangsome, Unbound and the Darkest Whisper!! YAY AUGUST!!!
[Reply]
I voted other, because I’m waiting for DreamFever by Karen Marie Moning!
[Reply]
Since I am halfway through bad moon rising by Sherrilyn Kenyon and loving it and have lora Leigh’s bengal and Rachel Vincent’s MSTT in my tbr pile. I picked other which was Dream Fever by KMM and Unbound and hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs.
[Reply]
If you’re not looking forward to Shiver, you should be. Do not stop, do not pass go — just go find this book and read it. It may be my #1 recommendation of the year.
[Reply]
Been waiting for this book since I read the third . . . in September!!!!
[Reply]
blood promise by richelle mead without a question!!
[Reply]
I’m waiting for The Servant:The Kindred by L.L. Foster….I’ve pre-ordered my copy! Can’t wait to see what happens! Love Gaby and Luther!
[Reply]
Cool.. I can pick 3. I like these kinds of polls. Since I have all the ones already out that are listed on the poll I went with in no particular order.
1) Darkest Whisper
2) Unbound
3) Archangel’s Kiss - I know it comes out in Feb 2010 but I can’t wait for it. I can’t.
[Reply]
I am so rotten. I get the opportunity to vote for 3 selections & I want 4 (or 5, or so). *hangs head in shame*
[Reply]
I voted for
1.Blood Promise by Richelle Mead-Got an email yesterday saying the book was shipped out. 20 days ahead of the release..YAY Chapters!!
2.Unbound by Kim Harrison, Melissa Marr, Jeaniene Frost, Vicki Pettersson, Jocelynn
3.Retribution by Jeanne Stein
[Reply]
you just had to make this hard. This is one of those months where several of my favorite series have new releases. They are all on preorder at my local indie bookstore (which does not make Hubby happy since I have over 50 free books to read from RWA last month). When I got my freebies, I told him “You know this doesn’t mean I’m not getting Patty’s new book when it comes out so that is how I voted. I LOVE Anna, almost as much as I love Faythe.
[Reply]
Blood Promise! Absolutely! And Hunting Ground, and My Soul to Take.
[Reply]
I can’t wait for Blood Promise!! That is my main must have. But I also chose Unbound and Other- b/c I can’t wait for Dream fever, but I’ve timed it pretty good on that one so that I don’t have to wait too long between Fae Fever that I’m starting tonight and when Dreamfever comes out!!
[Reply]
Are you kidding!? Dreamfever by Karen Marie Moning! I can’t believe it’s not even listed as a choice!
Then, after that, Mead’s Blood Promise.
[Reply]
Adding my voice to the choir singing the virtues of the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning, I am also really exicted about Dreamfever. My runner up would be another Rob Thurman’s Trixia of Light which has a soft release at the end of August.
[Reply]
Dreamfever by Karen Marie Moning. I cannot wait!
[Reply]
I can’t wait for Tall, Dark and Fangsome by Michelle Rowen. Sarah Dearly is such an awesome character.
Didn’t know that Molly Harper had her second book coming out, can’t wait!!
[Reply]
Hunting Ground, Unbound, and had to pick Other for Dreamfever by Karen Marie Moning
[Reply]
I voted for Blood Promise and Shiver!!
Seriously cannot wait for Blood Promise.
[Reply]
Ok can’t wait for Cape Storm,
and Nice Girls Don’t Date Dead Men. 
Not Listed Linda Wisdom Hex in High Heels.
[Reply]
UNBOUND, VANISHED, AND BLOOD PROMISES.
[Reply]
Tall, Dark, And Fangsome…. I love this series… I am stoked about the new book coming out..
Molly Harper’s new book Nice Girls Don’t Date Dead Men (2nd in the series) is coming out too!! What a great month for me!!!! I will be rqcking up the Border rewards, and Barnes N Noble points..
[Reply]
I really enjoy Christina Dodd. Her new Chosen series sound good. Karen Marie Moning is another favorite. I have her Highlander books and have started the Fever series.
[Reply]
Jumped on the Blood Promise train, although the Unbound anthology is a super close second.
[Reply]
i voted for the ones i havent gotten yet but wanna read
The Darkest Whisper by Gena Showalter, Storm of Vision by Christina Dodd and Pleasure by Jacquelyn Frank
I have Beloved Vampire by joey hill will let ya all know howgood it is when im finished reading so far it rockes.
[Reply]
I voted for Skykeepers by Jessica Andersen (LOVE this series!), Bengal’s Heart by Lora Leigh (already read it
), and although I want to read Pleasure by Jacquelyn Frank, the previous Shadowdweller books are in my tbr stack, and I want to read those first. So, I voted Other because I’m really looking forward to reading Jory Strong’s Spider Touched; the first book, Ghostland, was really unique and I can’t wait to see more of that world.
[Reply]
I totally agree with MarnieColette about Archangel’s Kiss. Not an August release, but I can. not. wait. The cover is looking awesome too; it on Nalini’s blog.
[Reply]
Hey guys I just finished a good book called Swoon-by Nina Malkin -its a “teen” book, but found very readable/enjoyable. Its a cross between Ghoast/Lasher and I couldnt put it down.
[Reply]
Blood Promise…. i mean come on its Dimitri
[Reply]
[...] you looking forward to reading TALL, DARK & FANGSOME (only 12 days to go!!)? Vote for it in Bitten by Book’s new poll! (you can vote for three books in August you’re most [...]
oh man…we finally get to pick more than one and its still not enough. Ok my first pick is def BLOOD PROMISE, I’ve been waiting for months to find out about Dimitri. Suspense is killing me. My next two picks are DARKEST WHISPER and UNBOUND. I love when my favorite authors release all together. Yay!!
[Reply]
blood promise of course
[Reply]
Blood Promise!!
[Reply]
dreamfever, barons! as much as i love VA I am really worried about Blood Promice, Shadowkiss was SO good, i honestly dont think anything could top it, but dreamfever, looks amazing and like something is amazing is going to happen i feel
[Reply]
I vote in hte author Laurell K Hamilton and her character Anita’s Dry sarcastic humor
[Reply]
My lasted readed books are Bad Moon Rising - Sherrilyn Kenyon and Skin Trade - Laurell K Hamilton. I’m also just 4fun reading Darren Shan, cause it’s gonna to became a movie called the vampire assistant.

[Reply]

[Reply]
unbound,nice girls dont dead men and hunting ground
also wanting strange brew anthology(patricia briggs etc)
[Reply]
dumb a$$ strange brew charlaine harris!! oopps
[Reply]
Blood promise =]
[Reply]
Blood Promise by Richelle Mead hands down!
[Reply]
Blood Promise…..I really am curious to see who the Strigoi was.
Rose keeping her promise to Adrian is kind of hard since she lost Dimitri, so I am really curious to see how she ends up, if she returns to the academy or not, if there is a way to bring Dimitri back to being a Dhampire and if her love for Dimitri will over power her moral senses and she will decide to abandon everything she has learned in the academy and turn Strigoi to join Dimitri for a chance to love freely and live together forever.
[Reply]
Blood Promise by Richelle Mead….
[Reply]
Blood Promise By Richelle Mead. She left me wanting more after Shadow Kiss.
[Reply]
Blood Promise all da way!!!
[Reply]
Got bad Moon rising and already read it. Amazing series, just keeps getting better.
[Reply]

[Reply]

[Reply]
BLOOD PROMISE ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I voted Jessica Andersen’s Skykeeper. I just finished reading it. Favorite couple thus far out of the whole Nightkeepers gang. There were so many good books listed. Next on my TBR list are Bengal’s Heart, Pleasure, Bad Moon Rising, The Darkest Whisper and Dreamfever. So many good books this month that my pocket will be empty!
[Reply]
BLOOD PROMISE ALL THE WAY!!!!!
[Reply]
I voted Bad Moon Rising, Blood Promise, and Unbound.
Of course I’ve already read Bad Moon Rising and was disappointed in it, but I did highly anticipate it. I hope the others don’t let me down too.
[Reply]
BLOOD PROMISE!!!!!
can’t wait to see how Rose and Dimitri’s story continues or schould I say if their story continues.
But I’ve already orderes Unbound and Hunting Ground, too. And Darkest Whisper, Tall Dark & Fangsome and My Soul to take are on my To-Buy list.
It’s just such an exiting month….

[Reply]
Blood promise by richelle mead!

Bad Moon Rising by Sherrilyn Kenyon(had the most awesome time meeting her this past Monday. She signed two books and she accepted my book, Angel of Death: Book One of the Chosen’ as a gift. Got lots of hugs from her!)

[Reply]
I picked:
Blood Promise - Richelle Mead
Cape Storm - Rachel Caine
Vanished - Kat Richardson
but especially BLOOD PROMISE! I have been awaiting the realease of Blood Promise scince Shadow Kiss came out ( b/c i totaly read it in like a day or two!!)Anyone who hasnt read the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead SHOULD! (her other series’ are good too, i love the georgina series(aka succubus series))
V–V ~Rawr~
[Reply]
I chose BLOOD PROMISE. OF COS, IT’S SO OBVIOUS WHO THE WINNER WILL BE! I would say, it’s the best series so far among the books I have read, none of them grip me like the one VA did. I finished reading Shadow Kiss for like 1 or 2 days? And for stupid breaking dawn, I have been reading it since like 3 months ago and now still have 300 pages left? Seriously, I can put my books down for other series, but definitely not for Richelle Mead’s books! Her books are amazing. It kept me on my edge of my seat! I wld definitely go grab Blood promise that day! It has to be out!
[Reply]
Let’s see… it looks like i have only three choices, BLOOD PROMISE, BLOOD PROMISE, or BLOOD PROMISE. OMG that is a toughy. It looks like have to say BLOOD PROMISE by RICHELLE MEAD.
[Reply]
Blood Promise!!! :)I’ve been waiting forever for that book!!!
[Reply]
blood promise….. duhhh
[Reply]
blood promise!!!!!!
hell yeah! xD
[Reply]

[Reply]
Blood Promise all the way!
[Reply]
Blood Promise of course! Can’t wait to read! OMG it’s taking forever for the release date.
[Reply]
I forgot to put this in my earlier comment but,
I voted for Cape Storm - Rachel Caine and My Soul To Take - Rachel Vincent aswell as Blood Promise
I was just excited that Bloop Promise was there, I forgot to mention it. xD
[Reply]
BLOOD PROMISE!!!!!!
[Reply]
Blood Promise of course.
[Reply]

[Reply]
