So, did you buy yourself a book or three this weekend? What have you bought?
I bought The Governess Affair, which I loved, What She Needs, which was pretty damn sexy, and Fifty Shades of Grey that causes me much embarrassed squirming (“stopping biting that lip, Anastasia…”)
oops, obviously I meant “stop”
I also bought The Governess Affair, which I also loved. And I just bought 10 books at ARe for their Mother’s Day rebate. Highlights include Jeannie Lin’s Butterfly Swords, Sarah Mayberry’s Hot Island Nights (so I can read the sequel which just came out) and Spellbinding edited by Cecilia Tan (short stories set in her Magic University world – I am completely obsessed with that series).
I bought Thief by Ava March. I was excited to see an m/m romance go on sale. It seems like that never happens.
I bought La Nora’s Chasing Fire on Friday and finished it this morning. It was pretty good. The fire scenes were certainly engrossing. I lived in Missoula for 5 years recently. Some of the docs I knew had been fire jumpers in college. I often drove by the base. During fire season, I could watch the planes taking off and, one memorable summer, could watch retardant being dumped on nearby hills. Given all that, I am in a fair position to judge some of her research and it seemed pretty right on. A few things I wasn’t sure of but nothing was glaringly wrong. I also really liked that the heroine was not a girly girl, not romance-novel feisty or spunky. She could boss a fire crew, outdrink many of them, was very outspoken but it came across as real, not just a plot thing. It’s good to see that sometimes.
Milan and Day are patiently waiting on my Kindle while I finish Roxanne St. Claire’s “Edge of Sight”
Loved the Milan and Calhoun stories, and Summerscale’s sounds interesting. As always, thanks for the recommendations.
