Yup! It’s raining excerpts! I have to say this is NOT the book I wanted. I know.. LE GASP! LE SHOCK! LE HORROR… but but but… I want, well really, I want THE SINS OF LORD EASTERBROOK! And lucky for us all it is coming out in this Fall. I know, no worries. I am working on getting over myself, but really until than… I do keep telling myself over and over “Syb it isn’t ALL about you” and slowly I am learning to believe it.
::blink:: okay, not really but I am working up to maybe accepting it *g* … hey I said maybe…
UNTIL then Madeline has a GRAND excerpt up on her site PLUS she has been her ever fab self and given us one of my all time favorite things…
I have been in something of a funk
July 21, 2005
Which means I spent the weekend rereading book… two I didn’t even remember reading. And that sort of spilled over to the week.
Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas was my first reread last Friday. Derek and Sarah… what more do you have to say. I love this book. It is just wonderful.
Which lead me to read Tiger’s Eye by Karen Robards since people tend to say it is like DoY. I must have skimmed it the first time I read it because I didn’t remember reading it until the very end with the bathtub scene, which that scene still annoys me.
Go figure… I can see how it gets compared to DoY but DoY blows it away. A good read I would rate about a C.
I then moved onto Forbidden Love by Karen Robards and poof read that too. And sorry maili, I liked it. I would rate it about a C-, it is way flawed but a nifty guilty pleasure read.
The next on the hit list aka randomly picked off the shelf was The Seducer and The Sinner by Madeline Hunter.
I still love both of these books. Madeline Hunter is one of my favorites and she has a way with an old plot. She can take it and make it new, fresh, fun and exciting. I wish we could get another Medieval out of her but I am still in love with this series and so need to read LoS. I dont think I ever really read it, more like skimmed and marked it as a want to read later.
Beauty Like the Night and The Devil You Know by Liz Carlyle came next.
I adore Liz Carlyle and am looking forward to her new series. The funny thing is The Devil You Know is the first book by her I read and I hated it. I didn’t pick up another one of her books until AWoV was recently rereleased and after falling in love with her short story in Big Guns Out of Uniform Let’s Talk About Sex.
Now I have no idea if it has to do with reading BLtN first and having read AWoV so I understood Bentley more than I did the first time but I just fell in love with this story. Rosario has a great review for the story and it pretty much sums up what I love about it. I would say to enjoy Carlyle you need to read her earlier works. So it is a good thing she is having them reprinted and at GREAT prices. What a great way to get new fans.
So what is my point in all this? I have been reading, just not the 10+ books I am suppose to read for AAR reviews. But I think I have found my groove again. So off I go to try my hand at new books. I also have company this weekend, so I really need to kick my ass into gear.
