I'm a reader at heart and can down most books at a rate of 40 - 80 pages an hour. That for someone that reads 8 - 12 hours per day (most days).

New Author #37 Homecoming: A Cloaked Devices Short Story (Cloaked Devices #0.5) Cecilia Robert 3/5 stars

37/50 by the end of January maybe upping the 90-day challenge would be more realistic. I guess I have to think on that one.

First, Imma take a minute and bow down to Antoinette, ...cuz...dang!

Also, you should keep going with the Darynda Jones Charley Davidson series.... it is hysterical and wonderful. And the last book makes me feel like the overall mythology of the series is gelling.

Ok, now that I have gotten that out of my system here are my books by new-to-me authors this year.

Choose Me: a novella by Kim Golden 2 stars (IR)
My Wicked Little Lies by Victoria Alexander 3 stars (Hist-Rom)
The Laughing Assassin Assassin's Diary by Jennifer Willows 2 stars (IR)
