Oh, good, others who are not thrilled with the Melusine theme.

I'm interested in Jacquetta; I've got my own take on it, though.

Just put a hold on this at the library. It is on order with one person ahead of me.

I didn't bother with Red Queen but have now decided it's safe to go back into the water. Back into the watery world of Melusine!

I ordered 'Women of the Cousins War'(I think that is the title) from Amazon USA but it hasn't been sent yet. I also pre-ordered Lady of the Rivers from Amazon UK but that wont get here till the end of September(if I'm lucky).

But what exactly is net galley...???I have never heard of it.

You have to review somewhere, somehow. I have friends who only review on Goodreads and are getting galleys from them, so have at it. That said, I'm not doing well so far. This is terribly dire and far-fetched... :mad:

Might read this if I find it in the library. Kinda curious.

What is the Mesuline drinking game?
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

Take a shot of your favorite beverage every time you spot a mention of her. Don't try it at home though, you'll be pie-eyed by the first few chapters :D
