Blood Bound | 
This is my #readordonate for January. This has been on my shelf for ages and I keep starting it and stopping then ignoring it. It‘s become an obligation now which doesn‘t encourage me to read it!
Going to donate it and hope someone else will enjoy reading it.

pickContinuing the Mercy Thompson saga! In this second in the series, her friend Stefan, a vampire, needs her help. As a walker, Mercy is immune to vampire magic, which will be useful against a powerful but insane new vampire in town. Plus the love triangle between Adam and Sam continues. For what it‘s worth: Team Adam.
pickNext book I completed this year. This is book 2 in one of my favorite series and I‘m working my way through it again as I anticipate the release of the newest book early next year.

It‘s a cold rainy day here today so here‘s a tree outside my apartment while I try to not get too wet....

pickI love this series. There is a concerning rape scene, but I did not feel that it was too graphic or overwhelming. Briggs did a good job expressing the gravity of the situation and the emotional trauma that comes with it. Because Mercy had advocates and protectors, this event is not all-comsuming. It does get brought back up in the next few books, but Mercy heals and moves on. I was very impressed with Briggs' tact in writing this.
pickI thought this was a good follow up to the first book, you get to know the characters better - such as Mercy, Adam and Samuel.
I really like the first person writing style when you get into Mercy's head and hear what she secretly thinks etc.
I'm hoping the storyline will get better as the series goes on because this felt like a repeat of the previous plot with some small changes and never added anything new to the overall storyline.
4/5》
pickKeeping up with the Mercy as she battles fights all in the name of her friends is pretty entertaining in this second installment by Briggs.
I love that she's a a bit flawed, it makes her human to me because everyone is a bit flawed but like in real life, she tries to do her best for her friends and here she is doing her best to save them from an evil that just rolled into town.
pickContinuing my reread of this series by listening to the audiobooks. I love the early books when Mercy is still fighting her feelings for Adam. ❤️❤️❤️

pickStill listening and enjoying. Iron Kissed is up next, and I'm not that excited to get to it because I remember that it gets pretty dark at the end.
#BookishBingo: By an author you're thankful for
pickTwo books in and I‘m convinced I‘ll be loving this series for years to come.
#chillingphotochallenge #scarathlon day 6 there's a #vampire who drives the Mystery Machine in this series. 😆

pickMercy is so great! I‘m really enjoying these books. So glad my library has several in the series available for audio loan
.
Listening to this second book in the series :) is it okay to like her mostly because of the VW connection and me loving my bug ;)
Anyway about 5 chapters in and really am enjoying it :) I‘m glad I was told they just get better :)
Hour 6 Challenge for @24in48 ... the SFF Challenge!
Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson has been one of the most influential series in my reading life. Since discovering them as a teen (& assuring Mum they weren't as sex filled as the covers suggest 😏😅) I have wanted to be a strong, passionate, resilient, kickass woman like Mercy. She goes through much, but ultimately her strength & fierce loyalty are qualities I greatly admire and desire. #24in48
pickSo much fun to read! I really like Mercy, she's pretty awesome!
This is the perfect book series for me right now. It's exam time at university. And it's nice to have something good to read for escapism
Continuing to reread this series and having a lot of fun! I get so much more when I‘m rereading series like this. Little details jump out faster.
pick10/10 Excellent read, second book in the series. Mercy is a very likeable character, flaws and all. Well written with enjoyable characters and enough action to entertain just about anyone who enjoys this genre.
pickSecond installment of the series and I'm not disappointed. I have a number of books floating on the top of TBR pile so I'm gonna shelf the rest of the series till near the end of the year/start of next year so I can focus solely on the rest. I have a feeling that the more I read, the less likely I'll be able to put it down!! 😊
Why is this page dog-eared? I don't dog-ear my pages. Why Sam why?!?!?.... WAIT! Ahhh! It was an issue with the printing. That makes sense! Annoying though.
Finished being a tourist and flying home. Ready to sleep for a week 😴✈
The second part of my book haul arrived this morning! Happy dance 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Very first post is going towards Day 5: RAINBOW BOOK STACK!!! #riotgram
pickI'm not sure if I liked it more than the first one but Mercy & Co. definitely make for a fun read! I read this one faster than i wanted to.
Wednesday reads~ The Sight is the paperback on my nightstand, Interview with the Vampire is my audio, and Blood Bound is my ebook library checkout. Hoping to finish at least one by the weekend!
A mini coyote now graces the title page of my copy of Blood Bound—my favorite Mercy Thompson book.

.10 books are like a drug. I can't help myself.
pickIt's been a while since I did a Mercy Thompson reread and I haven't romanticized a thing! I absolutely adore this little coyote and Adam is still my biggest book crush! I'm reading the Alpha and Omega books along with this series and I desperately want a crossover book or novella! I need to see Mercy and Anna in the same room, preferably with each "torturing" her wolf of choice! I need the shared smirks, eye rolls, and snarky comments! I needs it!
pickMy next semester of grad school classes start Monday, so I feel like I've spent the past weeks cramming in as much "fun" reading as I can.
Enjoyed the 2nd entry in the Mercy Thompson series. The audiobooks are a great companion for the mounds of data entry I've been doing at work. I like Mercy's strength and wit and look forward to seeing how she tackles both human and paranormal drama. More of this series is definitely in my future!

pickWhat an excellent follow up to book one. This one gelled a little better and was much more intense. The story was darker and the characters had more personality. I love Mercy!
Borrowing this from the library so I can continue on with the Mercy Thompson adventures! This one took a dark turn right at the beginning but I'm enjoying it so far!
panThis one didn't really do it for me. Slow and too wordy. The first book was good and I'll probably continue on to book 3.
Loving the new version of Overdrive - Libby! Has a pic of the book your reading at the bottom as well as a timeline of the book too!
pickThe 2nd Mercy Thompson book is better than the first. Set some months after the first, Mercy has a roommate an assistant at her garage, and a vampire calling in a favour.
One of the aspects I cherish of this series is the emotional consequences and the impact of events on Mercy and those around her. Horror is not shrugged off between one paragraph and the next. As a result, this series can make me cry. Definitely recommended!
so-so
