What are you reading December 2?

[Okie]

Happy December! Starting this week with Inheritance by Malinda Lo.

[Phoenix77]

I just started In the Arms of the Heiress by Maggie Robinson

[Theresa]

Phoenix, enjoy! I thought ITAOTH was a lot of fun. The sequel, too (In the Heart of the Highlander).

When Georgette Heyer books went on sale over the weekend, I grabbed a few I was missing. First I'm reading Envious Casca, one of her mysteries, because it has a Christmas setting. Gotta love those country-house Christmas mysteries. :) Next I'll probably read the new Sarah MacLean. I couldn't resist peeking at the epilogue as soon as I got it.

LOL! I did the same thing! Of course now I'm wracking my brain trying to think who Chase really is (it wasn't who I was expecting).

[Janga]

I'm hoping to find time after the first of the year to reread all MacLean's books to test my theory about Chase's identity. I was pleased to have part of it confirmed by the epilogue.

I took advantage of the Heyer sale too and added six to my digital collection, Theresa. I haven't reread Faro's Daughter in a long while, so I plan to start my rereads with that one. I also bought Sayers's Peter Wimsey books on Amazon's cyber Monday sale, and I'm eager to reread those. But first I'm reading Maggie Robinson and Elyssa Patrick's novellas in Holiday for Two.

I'm reading The Torment of Others by Val McDermid right now. She's pretty graphically violent, and I haven't read her in several years, but I saw one on sale. There's a budding romance between two recurring characters so it's not all murder all the time;)

Theresa, your mention of the Heyer sale sent me over to Amazon and ZOMG! I just bought about nine books! There are lots of Sourcebooks titles on sale for 1.99 including Jennifer Kloester's biography of Georgette Heyer and Georgette Heyer's Regency World. There were also some historical mysteries and contemporaries on sale. Here's a link to all of the Sourcebooks on sale: http://amzn.to/1goZGSB

Phoenix and Janga--agreed, now I want to reread the earlier Scoundrels books to look for clues about Chase! When Scoundrels #2 came out, someone in this group suggested Chase might be the type of person Chase is (notice how I am valiantly trying to avoid spoilers). I read Scoundrels #2 with that in mind, and HMMM. The clues did indeed fit. A very cool twist, and I'm looking forward to Scoundrels #3.

As for book deals--ok, I am splurging this week. Janga, I didn't know about the sale on Sayers. Thanks for mentioning it! I've just filled every gap in my Wimsey collection. Manda, I'd definitely recommend Kloester's GHRW as a quick research guide if you don't yet have it.

Manda, I checked the Sourcebook link and bought Miss Buncle Married. I adore Miss Buncle and bought the first one on sale last week. I also bought too many Jill Mansells. I'm still wavering on some Robin Kayes. I might get all these plus review ARCs read if I stopped doing everything else and became a reading hermit. :)

I know! I've got way more books to read than time:( I bought about a million Jill Mansells the last time they were on sale. And haven't read them yet. I seriously need to get some will power. But it's so hard when they're cheap!
