The books I'm not reading…

Not because I don't want to, no, far from that. They taunt me, covers bright and shiny or e-ink (not so shiny). Titles floating in front of my face whispering, "Read me. Read me. Read me, NAO!"

Sadly, the temptation must wait, as I'm deep in the throes of Blood Sacrifice, book 5 in the Blood Lines series. As much as I'd love it, I can't get distracted.

I do often get asked what other authors I read, so I figured this is a good place to share the love. Once a week, I'm going to post about a favorite author/series/book that's waiting for me on the "read me now" shelf.

First off, the long awaited Haunted Honeymoon, Casa Dracula Book Four by Marta Acosta. I can't wait to finish this fun and well-written series! So few urban fantasies out there have a Latina protagonist (I know, not even my own!). If you don't already read Marta, you should. The series is funny, witty and loads of entertainment wrapped up in great writing. Marta also runs the very entertaining Vampire Wire blog.



My sister (the librarian) first turned me on to Marta's books when Happy Hour at Casa Dracula came out. She called me (we normally email or text) and told me that I had to read this book. Laura (the sister) and I have very similar tastes in reading, so I immediately bought a copy. I fell in love! Milagro is such a fun protagonist, quirky, sexy and just a wee bit goofy. Plus there's that whole hot boyfriend thing. ::g::

If you're looking for a new series to read, don't wait. This is a great choice for your library.
