- Nicholas by Elizabeth Amber -- This book is not for the faint of heart. It's an erotic historical layered with Greek/Roman mythology. Strange. Very strange.
- Blood Brothers by Nora Roberts -- This is the first book of NR's new Circle of 7 trilogy and this is my second time reading it. Fantastic! I can't wait for May and the second book.
- The Liar's Diary by Patry Francis -- A debut novel by a wonderful author.
- Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell -- This book made me want to go tour historical points of interest linked to some of our dead presidents. LOL!
- Master of the Night by Angela Knight -- An intriguing blend of vamps, shape shifting and Authorian legends. I'll keep reading the series.
- Jacob and Gideon by Jacqueline Frank -- These are the first two books in JF's Nightwalker series. They were okay. Not sure if I'll keep up with the series.
- Passion by Marilyn Pappano -- This out-if-print treasure was a treat to read. Great locations. Great hero. Interesting mistaken identity. Definitely worth the wait!
- Almost Dead by Lisa Jackson -- This was a good serial killer/suspense novel. Not her best suspense novels, but a good read nonetheless.
- Visions of Heat, Caressed by Ice and Mine to Possess by Nalini Singh -- I am now caught up on NS's Psy-Changeling series and it's getting better and better with each book!
- No Good Deeds by Laura Lippman -- I love Laura Lippman's books and her Tess Monaghan series in particular. This story had a great twist and the series remains fresh.
- Speak No Evil by Allison Brennan -- A great book with a high body count and gripping characters. It's a great start to her Evil series. All three books are out now.
- Hunting the Hunter by Shiloh Walker -- I have the opportunity to meet Shiloh in September so I thought I should read some of her books. She started in ebooks and if this mass market is any indication, I'm going to enjoy her stories!
- Your Saving Grace by J.L. Wilson -- A great mystery. It's my first JLW and I am so going to read more of her. And you should, too!
- Unmanned by Lois Greiman -- Book four in the Christina McMullen series. As hilarious as Stephanie Plum with a hot cop hero and a smart, slightly klutzy and definitely funny heroine. Keepers, all of them.
- The Paper Marriage by Susan Kay Law -- In a word, AMAZING! I have loved every book by SKL and this one put me through the wringer and was incredibly satisfying. I've bought copies for friends, it's that good!
- Break No Bones by Kathy Reichs -- I've been a fan of KR's books long before Bones made it to the Fox network. I'm getting a little tired of Temperance and Ryan's on-again-off-again romance, but the murders and investigation and the character development reminded me why I love this series. And the fact that Bones is coming back with new episodes on April 14th doesn't hurt either. *grin*
- Sleeping Beauty and The Baby Chronicles by Judy Baer -- These were fun, quick reads by one of my favorite inspirational chick-lit authors. I'm glad I had them in my TBR and they ended the month of March out nicely.
*edited to add a book I forgot I read!*
I almost forgot! I love Nancy Martin and I read her latest Blackbird Sisters mystery last week. *smacks forehead* Murder Melts In Your Mouth was a great romp of a story. A light read, with compelling characters and Nora finally figured out why she's on again/off again with her bad boy beau. I can't wait for the next story but alas, it's not likely to be out until next year. Good think I don't mind rereading. *grin*
Told you the Psy-Changelings were great! I'm glad you liked Master of the Night as well.
ReplyDeleteIs Lara Adrian in your TBR for April? Don't forget your pop quix! *wink*
Lara Adrian is in my TBR for April. I can't forget that pop quiz. It's the only thing keeping those books toward the top of the mountain of books by my bed. LOL.
ReplyDeleteWe have to get a date on our calendar. Email or IM me, okay?
Holy cow that's a lot of reading! I'm keeping up with my average of 3-4 books a month. I miss my Saturday morning reading time. Plus, I've just been more social. I love Sarah Vowell's books. I have a bunch of them, but I'm still missing one in my collection. There's a really cute essay on her father in one of her books. Plus, she's the voice of Violet in The Incredibles. :)
ReplyDeleteApril, it was one of those months. When I'm having bad fibro and work takes over, reading is what I do. And I read fast. I have been going to bed earlier so I can read a bit more. And I had a couple of days off which translate to more reading. *g*
ReplyDeleteThis month won't be as prolific.
Oh, I loved Sarah Vowell's book and I now want to own them all. I put on The Incredibles the other day just so I could hear her as Violet, lol!
Nicholas- This book was recc'd by a coworker at B&N when it first came out. I wanted to get it but I wish Brava would publish in MM. So, I am going to wait on that one for a while. I heard the second one was even more strange.
ReplyDeleteNR- Yay! I can't wait for May! I want to read Gage's book NOW!
Knight- That is a pretty good series but after awhile Knight went Feehan on me-- it was all more of the same. I did make it through most of them though.
Frank- I read the first in that series. Not interesting. I feel bad saying it, but it seemed a wannabe Ward, Kenyon type book.
Singh- I TOLD YOU SO!
SKLaw- I will go find it to read on your rec
Walker- Same with this book
Reichs- I like the book series and had read a few before the show came out. I like the tv show better... I heart Angel!
Hey, Gabby! Yes, you were right about Nalini Singh and I am going to listen to your recommendations more often. LOL
ReplyDeleteOMG, May cannot get here soon enough! I love NR's new series and Gage's story is going to be so good.
Thanks for the info on Knight. I have the series so far, thankfully used. I enjoyed the first book. We'll see where it goes. And Frank didn't do it for me either. I'm done. I do hope she finds success. I know how hard it is to write a book, let alone get it published. *g*
