This is all that's coming to mind at the moment, but I'm sure there were at least a handful of other items of note.
Life is busy with school, and work on the weekends. This is a rare weekend off. I spent yesterday at the gym, and am spending today acutely aware of my thigh muscles.
Currently reading: Midnight Moon by Lori Handeland - it's been in my TBR since it came out about 2 months ago & I'm finally getting around to it. I've actually only gotten as far as the prologue, but it's awesome. I think I may have a reader's crush on Lori's voice.
Other books I've read lately: A Dream of Stone and Shadow by Marjorie M. Liu in the anthology Dark Dreamers. I was admittedly skeptical of Marjorie's ability to pull off a novella. Not because she isn't an incredibly awesome writer, just because she packs so much action, and drama, and foreshadowing into her novels, I didn't see how she'd be able to condense it into a smaller work. She did an incredible job, however. Anyone who used to swoon over Gargoyles (I think they still show re-runs on Toon Disney) should check this book out. If you're not reading Marjorie yet...what the hell is wrong with you?
Primal Heat, by Susan Sizemore. I love her prime stories, but this one seemed lacking somewhere. I finished it off in just over a day. She's usually a quick read for me, but I felt like I needed more content this time. Still, a good book, and nice & sexy.
Cover of Night, by Linda Howard. I'm a HUGE Linda Howard fan, but this one just didn't do it for me. Seemed like it took a little too long for the story to start, and then it was over too quickly. Also seemed like not everything was tied up at the end. I was a little frustrated by this one, but still looking forward to her next release.
Touch a Dark Wolf, by Jennifer St. Giles. Sexy werewolf-esque story. Interesting premise. I'm looking forward to the continuation of this series, but the first book seemed like it could use more depth, although I did enjoy the read.
Full Moon Rising, by Keri Arthur. This is one of the books I received in Atlanta. She's an Aussie author and the book revolves around weres & vamps & the rules they're governed by in this somewhat futuristic society. Interesting idea. I really enjoyed the book, but the end left me a tad pissed off. I'm waiting for the sequel to see if the issue is resolved.
Well, that's all I have time for now. Sorry I've been so lax in posting, but thanks for still stopping by. Hopefully the intervals won't be quite so long in the future. I just got through midterms, so with any luck things will be a bit more relaxed until finals.
