My dear Bloggy friend, Stephenie G. from Paranormal Haven did a great post about Bookish firsts this week {NO, not that First LOL}. With her blessing, I’ve decided to do a list of my Firsts…
My first crush – Richard {Anita Blake Series} – It was my first Paranormal encounter and I’ve had a thing for Alpha males ever since!
My first serious book boyfriend – Kisten {Hollows series} – He was everything I’ve ever wanted and more… =/
The first time I strayed – Zsadist {BDB series} – I couldnt help it! and btw, Kisten was long gone by then… not my fault =(
My first non vampire book boyfriend – Curran {Kate Daniels series} – Oh Curran! Yum!
The first series I fell in love with – Anita Blake series.
The first time I reached the dreaded cliff hanger – End of Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins! That was torture!
The first book/scene that invoked strong emotions in me. I'm talkin' throwing my book against the wall - *SPOILER* When Kisten dies in the Hollows series by Kim Harrison. I lost it! I cried like I’ve never cried before and kept crying almost all the way through the following book =/
The first scene I read where I can read and reread it a thousand times and it won't get old – I can’t really recall such a special scene. But the one in Magic Bleeds where Curran wakes up and Kate had been waiting by his side is pretty amazing!
The first scene to ever make me blush – Chapter 32! Need I say more? LOL
The first book I enjoyed but don't think I could read again – Any in a Paranormal Romance series.
The first book that made me think 'why did I pick this up?' – hmmmm I don’t know...
The first book I read that I thought I wouldn't like but was proven wrong – More like a genre. Contemporary Romance, I never thought I’d enjoy it, but I have found some series/books that i loved.
What about you?
Who was your first crush?
Have you replaced your first book boyfriend?
Now for you Hollows fans, I have a nice treat…
Welcome to the Pajama Chat Readers first Urban Fantasy discussion. In February, Kim Harrison will be releasing the eight Hollows/Rachel Morgan novel, Pale Demon, and to get everyone ready for it, Me and Jackie from Literary Escapism want to rehash what has happened so far. Was there something from Dead Witch Walking that you just have to get off your chest? What about the events of A Fistful of Charms? I know you have something you want to get off your chest?
If you want to take a quick look at each of the novels, click here.
The Live Chat was awesome and you can listen to it right now:

Great list Larissa. Ahh yes Chapter 32. Only reason it didn't make my list is because it wasn't one of my firsts but it definitely left an impression on me none the less :-D
