Let’s talk about books.
Everyone who comments will be entered in a drawing for a copy of Undercover, by Lauren Dane. I’ll announce the winner on Sunday morning, so you have until then to enter.
Ready, set…go.
The last thing I read was for a class, but I really enjoyed it. “The Youngest Doll” by Rosario Ferre.
by JC November 21st, 2008 at 7:47 amNot a book, exactly, but I spent most of the week catching up on Fables, which is a fantastic comic book/graphic novel series for anyone who likes modern retellings of fairy tales! I’m so addicted that I’m half tempted to finally make a pull list at my local comic book store.
by Jaime November 21st, 2008 at 7:52 amRough, Raw and Ready by Lorelei James. Cowboys yum! I also read Riding Temptations by Jaci Burton. Bad boys on bikes:mrgreen:. lol Both of these books were great!

Not typical but great romance and chemistry between the characters and the setup for the next story which I can’t wait for. Has a mystery that has been running in each book that has been to be solved.

by Karen November 21st, 2008 at 1:55 pmHi Anya:
I just finished reading ‘Red’ by Jordan Summers, which was an awesome read. I’ve started “The Mermaid’s Kiss” by Joey Hill that has grabbed me from line 1.
I have Jaci Burton’s “Wild Riders” books in my TBR and your book “The Chosen Sin”, coming up next. 😀
Thank you for the contest!
by Lea November 21st, 2008 at 2:03 pmRegards
I recently finished reading “Castle of the Wolf” by Sandra Schwab. It’s one of my favorite books now. It’s a paranormal (obviously by the title… hehe) but it’s a different type of paranormal then what you think… I guess you’ll just have to read it to find out… 😀 I’m currently in the process of reading “Chasing Midnight” by Susan Krinard but I really have enjoyed it so far…
by Danielle A November 21st, 2008 at 2:26 pmI am looking forward to “Only Pleasure ” by Lora Leigh.
by Rita November 21st, 2008 at 2:30 pmI’m looking forward to Jeanine Frost’s newest book. I recently read a YA scifi book by Cory Doctorow that was really awesome, it’s called “Little Brother”.

by Blanche November 21st, 2008 at 3:34 pmJessica Kennedy — I tried to comment on your blog, but it REALLY doesn’t want to let me. In any case, THANK YOU so much for your reviews of Witch Fire and Witch Blood. I really appreciate that you took the time to write them up and I’m glad you enjoyed the books. 🙂
Jackie — LOVE the Gardella series. Can’t wait for the next installment. They have beautiful covers as well as being great books.
I’m picking up some new ones for my TRB list, all. 🙂
by Anya Bast November 21st, 2008 at 3:57 pmI’m partway through Elizabeth Hoyt’s latest–To Seduce a Sinner. Yum! I generally try to avoid starting a series until I’ve got all the books in it, but I couldn’t help myself… Pathetically, I’ve no self-control.
by Fedora November 21st, 2008 at 4:40 pmI just finished Maya Banks “Be With Me”.
by Mary November 21st, 2008 at 4:56 pmI loved it and can’t wait to see what she

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.
Hihi!
I am really looking forward to buying a few books this holiday season:
*) Dead After Dark (Anthology)
*) Murder Game – Christine Feehan’s Ghostwalker series, yay I have been waiting for this book for ages!
*) Swallowing Darkness – Laurell Hamilton’s new Merry Gentry book
*) Veil of Midnight – Lara Adrian
I just finished reading S. Kenyon’s new book – One Silent Night. I liked this book, but felt cheated when I read it because it was so short and the print was soooooo large! Plus I would have liked to see more interaction between Stryker and his lady love . . .
xoxo
by becky November 21st, 2008 at 5:38 pmCurrently reading Wanderlust and then Dragon Master by Allyson James. The list of books that I want to get is way too long. The family knows to get me book gift cards for Christmas and birthdays.
by Diane M. November 21st, 2008 at 6:19 pmI recently discovered Charlaine Harris’s Lily Bard (Shakespeare) series and am really enjoying them. For December, I admit it, I’m a holiday anthology slut. I have about three on hand (I’m Your Santa, Snowy Night with a Stranger, and A Blazing Little Christmas), two shipping to me (one w/Lori Foster and one w/Stephanie Laurens), and several I’ll probably re-read my favorite stories from to get me in the holiday spirit. 😉
by JP November 21st, 2008 at 6:31 pmBe With Me by Maya Banks is on top of my shopping list. A couple of people have posted here with rave reviews for it.
And thanks Anya for starting this post, it’s given me some great leads for what other books I should be checking out.
by Sue A. November 21st, 2008 at 7:12 pmI’m currently reading “Deadly Night” by Heather Graham and I’m enjoying it.

by Terri W. November 21st, 2008 at 8:09 pm2. Murder Game (Christine Feehan)
3. One Silent Night (Sherrilyn Kenyon)
4. Swallowing Darkness (Laurell Hamilton)

Just last night finished an ARC of “New Blood” by Gail Dayton – steampunk – fast read, and I loved it. Waiting for the latest Dresden release and Sookie Stackhouse, too. Oh, and Lick of Frost, as well…the list is endless!
by Kim November 21st, 2008 at 8:36 pmHappy Friday, all!
one silent night by sk
by Pamk November 21st, 2008 at 8:39 pmblood lines and night season by Eileen Wilkes
all these are very good.
I’ve pre-ordered a $19.95 (AU) paperback for my sister. Don’t want to say which book it is, just in case she stumbles around the Web and finds out 😉
When I’ve finished buying presents for my family, if I’ve got any money left, I especially want to buy Marianne Mancusi’s Razor Girl, Liz Maverick’s Irreversible and A. J. Menden’s Phenomenal Girl 5.
Have a lovely day! 🙂
by Tez Miller November 21st, 2008 at 9:17 pmI am reading J.R. Ward right now and before that I was reading Lora Leigh.
I am really looking forward to Jeaniene Frost’s new book and my goodness the list of books that I want to buy is a mile long.
My TBR pile is filled with great books like A Chosen Sin, Richelle Mead’s newest Vampire Academy book and many many more.
by Lori T November 21st, 2008 at 9:24 pmLately I’ve been reading a lot of YA (mostly for review purposes), but one of them was absolutely fantastic–AN UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP: A NOVEL OF MARY TODD LINCOLN AND ELIZABETH KECKLER. I’ve also been working through Kresley Cole’s “immortals After Dark” series. I’m loving WICKED DEEDS ON A WINTER’S NIGHT!
by catie November 21st, 2008 at 9:28 pmThis isnt easy cause I have read some really good books here lately. Laurell K Hamilton’s new release Swallowing Darkness, One Silent Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon, Cat of a Different Color by Dana Marie Bell, Covenant in Blood by Ariel Tachna, to name a few.
by Dianna F November 21st, 2008 at 10:35 pmI just finished reading Be With Me by Maya Banks and I loved it. I enjoy how she draws you into her story for hours of entertainment. My next story to read is Down in Texas by Delilah Devlin.
by Sheila November 21st, 2008 at 10:59 pmI just finished reading “The King of Sword and Sky” by CL Wilson. Its the third part of her Tairen series and just keeps getting better. I’m dying for the next book as this book ended with another cliffhanger. Still, one heck of a wonderful read!
by LadyVampire2u November 22nd, 2008 at 3:36 amI’m really looking forward to Stranger by Megan Hart in January. Right now I’m on the second of Lauren Dane’s Chase brothers books, Taking Chase. Loved Giving Chase and loving Taking Chase
by christa November 22nd, 2008 at 8:13 amI just finished Snowbound by Larissa Ione and it was really good. Characters you can identify with.
I want Be With Me by Maya Banks
and
I’m waiting for Undercover, Stranger by Megan Hart, Murder Game by Christine Feehan and Only Pleasure by Lora Leigh.
There are many more but I’d end up typing all day.
by Crystal Dee November 22nd, 2008 at 11:02 amThe Marriage Miracle by Liz Fielding – I liked it as it had a heroine in a wheelchair and I don’t find that kind of book often enough.
by Ilona November 22nd, 2008 at 11:45 amJust finished reading Lora Leigh’s Mercury’s War. Wow, it was great.
by Joyce November 22nd, 2008 at 5:43 pmI just finished Blackmailed by Annemarie McKenna and the whole Black Dagger Brotherhood series.
I’m waiting for Megan Hart’s books, Stranger and Deeper
by lee November 22nd, 2008 at 11:18 pmOh.. I haven’t had a chance to think about books I want to buy this holiday season. I’m hoping things will calm to dull roar to take a peek at what I need to add to my growing pile of TBR.
Lots of books coming out next year that I can’t wait for. In January .. I’m pouncing on Jessica Andersen’s next book Dawnkeepers.
