I’m not reading anything because I’M GOING TO TAYLOR SWIFT!

I finished Craving in His Blood by Zoey Draven, which was just okay. Then I finished reading/listening to the Dark in You series by Suzanne Wright with Shadows, Omens, Fallen, Reaper and Hunted. I really liked the series as a whole and I’m looking forward to the next book. Then I read The Wicked in Me, the start of a new series by Wright, which I enjoyed, though I was left with a lot of unanswered questions. I DNF’d a couple books, then started Captivated by Suzanne Wright and Dragon-Ridden by T.A. White on audio. The narrator isn’t my favorite, so I ended up reading more than listening. I’m reading the second book, Of Bone and Ruin, now.
Enjoy the concert, @Casee!
Over the past week ~
— For my distant book group, I read The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves. The book takes place in 1991 and 2001 and features a college student with autism and the young man who she dates. I found it an enjoyable and somewhat predictable read but fairly light (though it did have some sad events).
— the contemporary male/male romance To the Moon and Back by N.R. Walker which I enjoyed. This was set in Australia and featured the single father of a newborn and a nanny.
— a graphic novel which was an okay read, Star Trek: Picard-Countdown by Kirsten Beyer.
— stayed up late to finish Hello Stranger by Katherine Center which I quite enjoyed. It featured a portrait painter who experiences face blindness after surgery and two men in her life.
— read an enjoyable contemporary male/male romance that had me laughing aloud ~ Awfully Ambrose (Bad Boyfriends, Inc.) by Sarah Honey. This featured two college students, one of whom hired the other to act as a boyfriend after his mother kept matchmaking.
I chanced upon STEPBROTHER DEAREST by new-to-me author Willow Dixon. It’s quite good, and a bit outside the “standard” stepbrother romances (whether m/m or m/f) in that the MCs are older (mid-twenties), didn’t grow up together (both MCs lived with their own mothers), and haven’t seen each other for years when they unexpectedly cross paths. Not the greatest book ever written, but I give Dixon points for moving the MCs away from the usual “stuck in a house together at 17 years old when one MC’s mom marries the other MC’s dad” set up so common in the step-sibling sub-genre.
