Hi Y’all! It is November and I am bringing back #30DaysOfThanks for Year 4 aka #30DaysOfThanks2015. I had so much fun doing this last 3 years that I thought I would recycle the program again this year. Switching it up this year with 3 posts a day–1 author, 1 narrator, and 1 blogger that really touched me this year. I didn’t have room to thank everyone because really my life overfloweth with awesome bloggers, books, and listening enjoyment. I tried to fit in some new people who have come into my life/reading enjoyment the last year while still shouting out my tribe of many years. I am so glad that I didn’t have room because it means my life ROCKS!
Ilona Andrews
OMG y’all I know I was late to the Ilona Andrews game. I read The Edge series in 2014 but it wasn’t till January this year that I read/listened to Kate Daniels. In fact, that is what I spent all of Jan/Feb doing–catching up! Kate Daniels is such a great series. I just can’t find the words to do it justice. So if you haven’t read them yet–get on it. I am really glad that I finally made the time!
About Ilona Andrews (from their website)
Ilona Andrews is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing team. Ilona is a native-born Russian and Gordon is a former communications sergeant in the U.S. Army. Contrary to popular belief, Gordon was never an intelligence officer with a license to kill, and Ilona was never the mysterious Russian spy who seduced him. They met in college, in English Composition 101, where Ilona got a better grade. (Gordon is still sore about that.)
Gordon and Ilona currently reside in Texas with their two children, and many dogs and cats. They have co-authored two series, the bestselling urban fantasy of Kate Daniels and romantic urban fantasy of The Edge.
Follow Ilona Andrews
The Edge (the series that started it for me)
During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

YAY for Ilona Andrews!!! I’m reading Kate Daniels in Jan – I should probably do a read a long b/c I’m bingeing on them. I freakin’ own almost all of them in paperback!!!!
Yes!!!! Have you read their On the Edge (I think that’s the name) series and Burn for Me? Both are excellent.
I felt like I was late to the game here too, but wow, I am so glad I got to them. They did amazing with that series and I really liked Burn For Me too. I’m looking forward to that series.
I love Andrews as well. I’m two books behind in the Kate Daniels series now. I’m thinking about doing a re-read of the series. It’s been almost 5 years since I read the earlier books.
One of my favorites. I just love the worlds that they build, so unique. As unique as their worlds are, they don’t compare to the strangeness of their monsters. Only this team can make a shopping trip to Costco as entertaining as they did in Clean Sweep Their characters are all so fun. I’m so excited to get Sweep in Peace.
I just started listening to Magic Bites today. 🙂
