What have I read lately?
I've been reading this month [May], lots of it, and can't say any of it has been anything more than done simply for the joy of being able to read what I want, when I want, and where I want. Okay, the cutie bought a Kindle, and I tried a few on it and others I added to my cyber TBR shelf for later, but I read* a few because I do that - READ!
Selfish, I know, but I've enjoyed myself which is what reading is all about. So, what have I bought and what have I read?
Grace Under Fire by Jackie Barbosa*
A Gentlewoman's Predicament (1) and A Gentlewoman's Ravishment (2) by Portia Da Costa
Pleasing Sir by Delilah Devlin*
Long Hard Ride (1) by Lorelie James*
The Bosses Pet: The Contract (1) and Office Training Goes Home (2) by Tonya Kinzer*
Boy Toys by Brynn Paulin
Glorious Enslavement by Anya Richards*
Dex's Claim by Mandy M Roth
Club Shadowlands (1), Dark Citadel (2) and Breaking Free (3) by Cherise Sinclair
Feral Cravings by Jenika Snow
Most of these were new to me to read authors [I've read Devlin before] and I've had varying degrees of enjoyment, either way, it's been a good month to buy ebooks and read!

I'm Guilty As Charged!
I'm not someone who is in to lots of self-denial, which means I happily embrace my guilty pleasures and I'm about to indulge myself.The Hangover passed me by for sometime and I was okay with that. I heard it was funny, but didn't rush out to find, and then I was cornered. Actually, I was on an airplane, and thought why not kill a few hours watching it? Well, I loved it! It was so wrong and I laughed so hard :-)
This weekend the cutie and I will be seeing The Hangover Part II! Fingers crossed the release isn't held back because of the tattoo lawsuit pending.

Cover Talk - Again!
Not too long ago I mentioned cover art needed to make a Come Back, well, I'm sticking with that and pleading the publishers to do something.
Besides title and authors name, covers need to tell me genre, mood, and a few hints that will tempt my inner-reader to buy.
I've just been shopping on Amazon.co.uk for a family member in England and found a few books that interested me. I swapped over to the US site and the cover of one made me doubt it was the book for me, and I decided they can wait until I'm in the UK next. That's bad because, as far as I'm concerned, those were sales lost because of the publisher. They chose to package the books in two entirely different ways which made me, in turn, doubt they were the right choices for me.
What do you think?
Colin Cotterill is the author and while I seriously dislike the quote used, I do like the covers for both the hardcover and paperback as they appear in the UK. Without the unkind comparison, they tell me the series is light and fun, which is the complete opposite of the vibe I get from US paperback cover on the bottom [hardcover was much the same just a slightly muter coloring].
I enjoyed Tarquin Hall's The Case of the Missing Servant: From the Files of Vish Puri, Most Private Investigator [1st book] and plan to get The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing when it comes out in paper on June 21st. Shamini Flint's 'Inspector Singh Investigates' [1st book is A Most Peculiar Malaysian Murder ] books looked good as well [same covers in UK and US]. Both these books recommended I check out Colin Cotterill's 'Dr Siri Paiboun Mystery' [as above, the 1st book is The Coroner's Lunch ] offerings and they also interested me. They all see like good summer reads, but I'm holding back on the Cotterill book until I can find out more information.
Covers count publishers!

Weirdly Intriguing
Condoms are used for safe sex and this chainmail condom from the Anevern Artchicks put a twist on its construction - now I can't get it out of my head.Can I somehow work this into a story?
Probably, but not sure I will.
Like I said, weirdly intriguing.
Thank you Erotic Romance for, um, this.

The Number Game
Sometimes it's two, often it's three, and then there are those times when it's four. Numbers don't matter, plot matters, right?There's your hints for what's on my mind and I guess, since it's a day of numbers, I'll let you know I've been dropping hints this week on three different tales, in three different genres.
