Weekly Reading Round-Up
Weekly Reading Round-Up
One good thing about many hours on airplanes: it provides much time to read. Here were my companions on this week’s flights: — Meredith Duran, At Your Pleasure. Ah, the Hanoverian succession. Always such good fodder for fiction. — John Harwood, The Ghost Writer. I don’t know whether to thank or blame Pam for recommending…

It’s been a week of re-reads for me. There may have been (okay, there was) a Barnes & Noble run this week (I admit to a weakness for both their books and their cafe), but I’m hoarding the new books for all the flights I’m going to be on over the next week. Here’s the…

I spent a lot of time on various forms of transportation this week, which afforded lots of time to read. These are the books I brought along with me: — Sarah MacLean, A Rogue by Any Other Name. This is the first in Sarah’s Rule of Scoundrels series (fallen noblemen running a gaming club), and…

This week’s reading round up is a tale of the bad and the good. The bad? One of the Elsie Lees from the roommate care package, Star of Danger. I’ve noticed in the past that when Elsie Lee is good, she’s very very good. Then there are the other books. My college roommate and I…

I started off the week with two books from my college roommate’s care package, both by an author unfamiliar to me, Anna Barrie. They were very different from each other– and I loved them both. They were: — The Linden Tree, a thoughtful modern romance between an emotionally damaged woman and a physically damaged man…

My sainted college roommate rescued me from the book doldrums with exactly what I needed after a hard week of revisions: a box of vintage Elsie Lee novels. For those who haven’t stumbled on Elsie Lee, they’re old fashioned romantic suspense novels from the 1960’s and 70’s and ridiculously hard to find. When they’re good…

Many apologies! While I’ve been hunkered down over the 1920’s book revisions, many things that were meant to occur on the website this week didn’t. Coming soon will be: the belated announcement of the latest website contest winner; the Pinkorama contest (get your Peeps ready!); a book tour recap; and, in a special Teaser Tuesday,…

I have to confess that what with all the running around and talking about books (book tour rundown coming up soon!), there hasn’t been much time for actually reading books. Fortunately, my wonderful college roommate gave me two books to read on the plane home today: an old skool epic romance, Stormswift by Madeline Brent,…

Every now and then, books pop up at just the right time. Just as I was wondering what I was going to read on my plane ride to Phoenix, an advance copy of Tracy Grant’s Imperial Scandal landed on my doorstep. For those of you who haven’t read the previous book in the series, go…

In keeping with the Friday Night Lights theme, I’ve been re-reading Susan Elizabeth Philips’ Chicago Stars series, starting with It Had To Be You and This Heart of Mine. (I’m still trying to figure out what I did with my copy of Heaven, Texas.) I have no idea how I wound up with a football…
