Casee: April has been such a slow reading month for me. I’m really disappointed in myself. I just finished Wired by Julie Garwood and she just doesn’t do it for me anymore. Her suspense is just meh. And her romance? It’s tepid. I’m reading Lethal Lies by Rebecca Zanetti. It’s a spin-off of her Sin Brothers series or as I like to call it, her Dean Brothers series. It’s already a step up because the heroine isn’t TSTL. Hopefully this coming up week will be better than the last.
Holly: I reread Moon Called by Patricia Briggs this week, which prompted a reread of Alpha and Omega and Cry Wolf. Now I’m going to start A Hidden Fire by Elizabeth Hunter (currently free for Kindle users). I haven’t read her before, but Ames recommended the series, so I’m hopeful.
Rowena: Poor Rowena isn’t reading anything right now. Let’s all take a moment of silence for her lost reading mojo.
What are you reading this week? Any new favorites or books that drove you crazy? Share!
O.M.G – faints dead away after reading Rowena’s post . . calls an ambulance and gets her rushed to the Reading Hospital to have a mojo transplanted back in. Sending soothing, readerly vibes your way!
I have just finished CS Harris’ new one Where the Dead Lie, another excellent adventure with Sebastian St Cyr (slurp!)
Sending good thoughts for the resurrection of Rowena’s lost reading mojo.
Things read here ~
— a re-read Patricia Briggs’ anthology Shifting Shadows: Stories from the World of Mercy Thompson
— a re-read of Patricia Briggs’ Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, Book 1)
— Ready to Fall (Wingmen Book 1) by Daisy Prescott which was by an author who is new to me. I have another of her books waiting in Mount TBR which I’m looking forward to.
— an enjoyable fantasy novel which had been sitting on my Kindle for one year minus two days. Those who enjoy books with a time travel aspect might enjoy it; it also contains Nephilim. I’d happily read more in this series. One Way Fare (Null City Book 1) by Barb Taub and Hannah Taub
— a re-read of Lucy Parker’s Act Like It
— Hamilton: The Revolution by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jeremy McCarter. I think this book would be most enjoyed by those who are already familiar with Hamilton by virtue of having heard the soundtrack (me!) or having seen the production (I’d like to). This traced the making of the show, shared tidbits about various performers, and addressed points where the story took liberties with history. I enjoyed reading it.
— the contemporary romance Pretty Face (London Celebrities) by Lucy Parker which I also enjoyed. This is second in a series, but it definitely can stand alone.
— I also read the story that is the basis for the movie, Arrival, which I enjoyed.
