Today featured a trip to the library.  I needed to get some more books from the Guardians of Eternity series by Alexandra Ivy.  Yes, they are some what stereotypical of the dark paranormal romances (this is in part because they are an older series) but me likes.  Keep in mind...Christine Feehan's still probably one of my favorite authors. :D

Still reading although, with vacation over and having found the charger for my MP3 player, not reading as much as I was before.  Read a couple Lindsey McKenna books. Old-fashion harlequin romance...where everything just seems to happen the way it should.  Not a lot of gut-wrenching emotions to make a reader cry her heart out or believe love can ( Read more... )

So, I stumbled across a group of books with a modern western setting and characters at my last visit to the library and thought...ohh...cowboys..southern antics...all good.  But, while i suspected it might be a series of some form or another, I couldn't tell for sure so I picked up a couple that sounding interesting.  I tried reading one yesterday ( Read more... )

As life has settled into a pattern of sameness, I've been able to get back into the reading groove with the help of the local libary.  After getting rid of over half of my book collection with moving, I've cut back massively on the actual buying of books.  Unfortuntely.  On the plus side, the local public library here seems to buy from a wide range ( Read more... )

I remember why I stopped reading the Order of the Phoenix book...Harry's an annoying, whining little brat in the beginning. I mean, come on, after all he's been through you'd think he'd show some signs of maturity. But. No.

Does he get any better? I'm beyond the 100 page mark and really tempted to toss the book at the wall. Something I never do ( Read more... )

The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes by Jennifer Crusie, Eileen Dreyer, and Anne Stuart ( Read more... )

So.

I sent in my membership application for RWA, yesterday.

And, today I'm working on a dark fantasy that might or might not have romantic elements in it.

Yesterday I read a Silhouette Romantic Suspense, One Cool Lawman, which broke several of the traditional "rules" for romance. Not only was race something of an issue in the book -- the ( Read more... )

Read Lover Revealed last night. I enjoyed it more than Awakened -- because the bouncing around of plot lines was tighter and she focused a lot more on Butch and Marissa. I still feel cheated out of enjoying some of the angst and romance between Z and Bella ( Read more... )

I need to get some writing done as I've been ignoring it all for the last couple of days.

But. The books I ordered from Amazon just got here -- so I want to read too.

The haul:

Giving Chase by lauren_dane
Wings to the Kingdom by cmpriest
Dead Man Rising by lilithsaintcrow
Bloodring by Faith Hunter

Maybe a goal will help: write ten pages = getting to read a book.
