Holly: We had some wacky weather this weekend. Rain, hail, snow, gusting wind. As nice as it would have been to sit in front of the fire and read, things were pretty crazy at Casa Holly. Ortho appointments, science projects, sleepovers..oh my. I did manage to read 3 books, but it was slow going. I read A Basket of Wishes by Rebecca Paisley. It was recommended to me on Twitter (by Mad? KMont? I can’t remember) after a conversation about authors who have disappeared. I was able to get a used copy on Amazon for pretty cheap. It started off really slow for me (a little too campy and slapstick-y) but eventually I fell into the romance. In the end I really enjoyed it.
This morning I started reading Mesmerized by Lauren Dane. This is book 2 in her Phantom Corps series, a spinoff of the Federation Universes. I adored the first 4 books and I’m loving this one as well. I’m kind of taking my time with it, savoring the characters. Also? The cover is fucking amazing. Yes, fucking amazing. There’s no other phrase to describe it. If I could just pull his shirt up a little, and his pants down a little…life would be so good. He’s just the right amount of dirty and sweaty….drool Ehem.
Casee: I’m finally getting my reading mojo back. I’ve read some really good books. Right now I’m reading Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison. Holly sent it to me with a threatening note. Something about something dire happening if I didn’t read and immediately send it back. Considering how she’s raved about the book, I’ve taken her at her word. So far, I’m loving it.
Rowena: I just finished reading The Sweetest Thing by Jill Shalvis and really enjoyed it. I’m going to be reading some quick short stories and then I’ll start Playing for Keeps by LuAnn McLane.

I won an ARC of Mesmerized in January & LOVED it. It is a great story and sets up the last Phantom Corps book, Captivated, perfectly.
