More Books! And a little ranting.
More Books:
For Christmas I got a Borders gift card. I used it to buy the latest books in a lot of the urban fantasy series I read. No great brain-power required to read any of these.
#7: Bone Magic by Yasmine Galenorn
This definitely falls into the "witches, werewolves and vampires" category that my boyfriend makes fun of me for reading. This is the 7th book in the series about 3 sisters - a witch, a werecat, and a vampire and all are part-fae. This book takes place from the witch's POV, who is my favorite of the 3 sisters. It's a quick and easy read. It's not the best I've read, but decent. Each sister gets more powerful in each book about her and gets more lovers (it seems like).
#8: All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris
This is the 7th book in the Sookie series. I started to reread this series last year when Tru Blood first came out. I only made it through the first two books, I think. So it's been a while since I read the 6th book. As a result I couldn't remember who some of the players were and how they fit in. I picked up on enough of it fairly quick though. The story was okay. it's not my favorite of the series, but not bad. It's another easy read.
#9: Lover Avenged by J.D. Ward
Yep, another vampire series. And again, this is the 7th book. Lots of sevens in this batch. This is a series I've contemplated dropping. The first and fourth books were outstanding. The rest... eh... They are incredibly formulaic. So after reading one book, you pretty much know how the rest are going to play out. This one did the same thing. The result? It doesn't hold my attention very well. I hate it when an author does that. Books like that don't keep me on the edge of my seat because I already know what happens. Each book in this series is about a different character, but he goes through the exact same trials as all the other characters.
And no, that wasn't the ranting part. The rant is about how much I hate trying to get in shape this week. Mostly because, thanks to me not being careful enough two weeks ago, I hurt my back really bad. I have not been able to exercise the last week and it's irritating me. I know better than to do what I did, yet I did it anyway and now it hurts. Ugh. It's very frustrating. I want the pain to go away so I can go back to my regularly scheduled program and get more results. Instead, I've had a set-back and it's undoubtedly reflected on the scale. Grrrrr!!!
Okay, rant done. And it wasn't even that bad.
