Between working, blogging and hosting, I think that I can read 4 books. Now I don't promise that all of them will be in print...one or two may be in audio! ;-) I hope (crossing my fingers) that is both a realistic and doable goal.

I'm really in the mood for a series. My week of reading is going to consist of reading the first three books from the Lux series, by Jennifer L. Armentrout! The 4th book comes out next month, so I thought this fact added to my reasoning behind selecting this series. Let me explain my logic behind choosing this series. First and foremost, I loved the show Roswell. Remember that show? If not, you can check it out on Netflix.  I was a total fangirl about that TV show. Ever since then, I've wanted to read a really good series about aliens. Even more so, I wanted to read a really good series about a alien guy even more hot as the character Max Evans! LOL, I've heard soooo many good things about the Lux series that I thought it would be perfect!

I like to be prepared. Just because I've heard great things doesn't mean that I'll love it. I hope I do, but just in case I don't like the first book and decide not to continue, I have a back up plan!

My RaT Back-Up Plan Reading List!

After the first two books above, if I end up changing gears, I'll be trying to read as many as I can of the remaining published Elemental Assassin series, by Jennifer Estep.

Hello :)

I read Obsidian a while ago (It was *great!*) and I have Onyx on my reading list for this week. Like you, I had been looking for a great series with the whole 'hot alien guy' premise and, based on Obsidian, I feel that the Lux series delivers. Will it continue? Guess I'll have to read Onyx and find out!

Anyway, happy reading and have a great week! :D

Hey Kathy, I hope I enjoy Obsidian as much as you did! :-) I'm excited, I wish I could skip the first book on my list! LOL, Shh, don't tell anyone! Haha!

Thanks for dropping by.

THE LUX SERIES IS SO GOOD. I read all three in one week and can't wait for the 4th! Roswell is my favorite show of all time and Lux did not disappoint! There is one hot alien in there, trust me!

I actually didn't love Obsidian, but I thought Onyx was way better and am going to try to read Opal this week. I loved Roswell too!! Thanks for letting me know about GLBBA - I signed up!
