Books
I've decided I'm going to keep track of the books I've read this year. Last year, before I got pregnant and lost my writing mojo, I neglected my reading pile. This year, I'm going to try to read more because a) it's fun and b) it'll be good for the writer in me.
In January, I read:
Need
Confessions of a Shopaholic
Shopaholic takes Manhattan
Wondrous Strange
And part of Bone Crossed
My favorite out of the bunch was definitely Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs. I've been reading the Mercy Thompson series since the first book came out, though I slowed on the last few books because of said dry reading spell.
While Bone Crossed is not my favorite book of the series, I still totally LOVED it. This one starts with Mercy and Adam conversing about whether or not she'll become his mate. I have always been an Adam girl, so of course I'm rooting for him!
From there (within like ten pages) we meet Mercy's mother and her dog, Stefan drops in a little worse for wear and nearly attacks Mercy, and an old college friend knocks on the front door asking for a little ghost hunting help.
It's a good opening and one that pulled me right in. Of course, there's more trouble with the vampires and the seethe, but I really enjoyed learning more about Mercy's ghostie abilities. I hope we'll see even more in books to come.
And one other thing I'm hoping to see in future books? Mercy using that dang faerie walking stick! What will it do for her? Will it back fire like it did in it's legend? The walking stick did play a role in this book, but I don't think we've seen the last of it yet.
