A long time (a year!) since my last reading report and I've been reading a lot of Regency romance over the last 12 months. Previously I didn't include romance reading in my reading report (though it was included in numbers of books read or purchased) but I think I will; from now on.
Donna Andrews: I was two behind in my reading with this author - all caught up now and have started a re-read of her Meg Langslow series.
Elinor Lyon: Another great story from this author. Have to make space on the shelf for another collection.
Annette Blair: Cosy paranormal mystery series that if they came out in hardback I would buy up in a heartbeat.
It occurs to me that the 'Books Bought : Books Read' comparison is not quite as relevant as it used to be when shelf-space was a prime consideration. Many of the books I'm buying now are e-books and apart from building up an electronic To Be Read pile, buying more than I'm reading isn't the issue it once was.
Welcome back, Reading Report!
