What with covers and contests and all sorts of other things (ahem, Pink IX, ahem) this has been a relatively anemic reading week for me. Here’s my meager list:

Lest we forget the books for the covers, here, after a few weeks’ absence–sorry about that!– is our traditional Weekly Reading Round-Up. As many of you know, I was off at the RWA conference all last week. (These are from the Literacy Signing on Wednesday.) I came back with piles and piles of books, through…

Hi, all! Mostly, I’ve been re-reading Heyer this week (along with L.M. Montgomery’s Blue Castle and Dodie Smith’s I Capture the Castle, Heyer is a favorite comfort read), but since I’ve discussed Heyer so much here on the site recently, I won’t go into details. Instead, since I could very much use some new recommendations,…

Hi, all! I’m deep in Pink IX land, so this will all be a bit more ad hoc than usual. Despite spending most of my time in May of 1804, being regaled with awful poetry by Augustus Whittlesby, I’ve managed to stumble on two new “keeper” authors this week– with a little help from my…

One of the fringe benefits of going to conferences is the books. Lots ‘n lots of books. I came back from the Poisoned Pen conference in Arizona with a number of wonderful new friends and an even larger number of new books to read. So here’s the latest list….

Hi, all! Sorry for the weekly reading hiatus last week. I was, in the truest sense of the term, getting my beach reading in. Since I was staying at a place with a book swap shelf (I love book swaps), it’s a rather long and varied list. Among the books I read were:

Since I’m a bit disorganized this morning, this will be less of a round-up and more of a ramble. Having been on a mystery kick for a while, I’ve swung back around to historical romance. I’m just finishing up Julia Quinn’s latest, Ten Things I Love About You. Next up? Laura Lee Guhrke’s Secret Desires…

I’ve been on a mystery and suspense kick this week, with an odd bit of sci fi thrown in. Here’s what I’ve been reading:

This week has been heavy on non-fiction and familiar fiction favorites for me, as I’ve been trying to work my way into Pink VIII. — Pauline Bonaparte: Venus of Empire, Flora Fraser An engaging biography of Napoleon’s most notorious sibling. Many of you might remember Pauline’s cameo appearance in Pink I…. Yes, she really did…

Welcome back to Weekly Reading Round-Up! As the summer approaches, I’m restocking my TBR pile… so keep those suggestions coming. In the meantime, here’s what I’ve been reading this past week. — Wicked Becomes You, Meredith Duran. I was blown away by Meredith Duran’s writing when I picked up her second book, Bound By Your…
