AKA 12 Books I Should be Reading Right Now Instead of Doing This Post

In no order since I haven’t decided what I am going to read yet and do remember the rule of 12. So if your book is not here that doesn’t mean I don’t have it. Something that speak to my short attention span and how easy I can get distracted… I started this days ago. The first book on the list was Shadow Music by Julie Garwood’s. Note to self: don’t use the book. 

1. Shifter by Angela Knight, Lora Leigh, Alyssa Day, Virginia Kantra
Side Note: Virginia Kantra is one of those authors that I see their name often but never read. I judged one of her RS recently and it was very good – sez I. Her novella in Shifter is the start of a paranormal series (don’t groan, at least wait until you read it). Children of the Sea isn’t vamps/demons/weres or even dragons but Selkies (how do you pural that?). Might be interesting… /sidenote
Paranormal Romance by Berkley, publication date 3/4/08 and proof I enjoy teasing Bev(QB) far too much 🙂

2. To Pleasure a Lady by Nicole Jordan
I had decided not to read these when I read the summary. Then I read the excerpt (first chapter on site) I soooooooo wanna like this book. I will be so sad if I don’t. Strong choice to be the one I am reading while I should be formating blog things. 1/29/08 release… good month.

3. The Spymaster’s Lady by Joanna Bourne
Historical Romance from Berkley, have heard much awesomeness about this. Will post excerpt so you may see awesomeness too, although she did update her blog (click on her name above) with an excerpt as well when I whinedasked for an excerpt to post. This releases in my birthday month so it is uber special, 1/2/08. Wonder why Amazon thinks this is a young adult novel?!?!

4. Traitor’s Kiss by Mary Blayney
Now I am prolly just being mean but my god I love this cover. I haven’t started this because I have built up such hope it will be amazing, I might cry if it sucks. Historical Romance from Dell. Was suppose to come out March 4, 2008 because of scheduling was moved to October 2008. So like I said prolly mean of me to bring it up again…

5. Desperately Seeking A Duke by Celeste Bradley
1st book in her new historical trilogy, The Heiress Brides. Releases March 08 from St Martin’s and will have a back to back release: The Duke Next Door (April) and Duke Most Wanted (May). [I still want to type duck for duke]

6. To Catch a Highlander by Karen Hawkins
This is the third book in a series and releases on my birthday (1/22/08) so it must be amazing! Well really Hawkins can be a hit or miss for me because she tends to be heavy on the funny. And that doesn’t always work with me.

7. Wild Noelle Mack
This is the first book in Noelle’s new Brava series The Pack of St. James. Uh huh… wolves… and even better (sez Lawson, who has NEVER read Susan Johnson) it they have ties to Russia. Check it out here, is a March release so should come out February 26, 2008.

8. A Reason to Sin by Maureen McKade
I can’t begin to tell you how sad it makes me that she is currently working on a romantic suspense. I am sure it will be great but ::sniff:: more westerns please. Reason to Sin finishes her great Forrester trilogy:

9. The Devil’s Daughter by Laura Drewry
Not anything up at amazon but you can read the summary here. Don’t think there is anything else I need to say about why I want to read this… NOW. April 08 release from Dorchester.

10. Sucker’s Bet by Erin McCarthy
I heart Erin McCarthy. Even my lil sister hearts her ::note to self find out when book after Demon Envy comes out:: I was soooooooo looking forward to Bled Dry, the book before this one. I haven’t even made it half way through. le sigh… so do I try Bled Dry again, one night stand with a vampire secret baby book! Sort of, eh well not really secret for long. This comes out Jan 2. And soon we shall have more contemps from her. Well sort of soon…

11. Hard to Handle by Lori Foster
There is sex on page one… is that normal for a Foster book? I checked the cover to make sure it wasn’t Nicole Jordan. I really am enjoying this series. Amazon says this is book 3, which I guess works if you don’t count Jude or Murphy. Releases Feb 5, 2008.

12. The Bride by Carolyn Davidson
🙂 It is prolly a bad thing I am way amused the heroine is raised in a convent isn’t it…
I loveseses her older HH. I haven’t found as much love for her books since the move to HQN but this one… looks fabulous. No really. Releases February 1, 2008

Any suggestions on where to start? What is next up on your to be read mountain?
