So agree with you on that one Cheryl. She really drove me batty!

Mary Balogh goes on that list for me. The writing wasn't bad, it was just "ehhhh", take it or leave it. I'm kind of that way with Elizabeth Hoyt. Maybe. I read the first book of the Princes trilogy and may go back and read the rest . . .

You should go back and finish that trilogy.. I thought that the writing got better with the 2nd and 3rd book, with the 3rd book being my favorite in the trilogy!

I may just do that. I really enjoyed the Four Soldier series.

That's good to hear! I have that series sitting on my shelf waiting to be read!

Mandy, had a great, tortured hero, and strong heroine and some interesting secondary characters, but it was too silly. The banter became... predictable and immature... I spent too much time rolling my eyes. And as I got about 1/2 way into the book, I realized that I had read this one years ago and didn't like it then either, for the same reasons.

I think I read that one a while back. Kenyon should stick with the Dark Hunters. They're her best, IMHO.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I agree. I LOVE her Dark Hunters! Someone said there's another series that she writes as MacGregor, but I can't remember which it i s.

It's always interesting to see what others like and don't like. I really liked this book - the hero and heroine made it for me and I don't remember anything particularly silly about the plot (although there may have been.) Too bad I didn't write a review!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

It wasn't a bad plot either... it was just to the point where the banter was too much and too silly. It had the potential to be a great story, but the dialog and some other things just really didn't do it for me.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oh, and I agree with you, it's interesting to see how different people feel about the same books.

I finished and am finally starting

Master of Seduction A Pirate of Her Own

[Mandy]

I am reading . Just finihsed , the 6th and final book in Patricia Rice's "Magic" series. Somehow I missed the first 2 and started off at 3. I'm going back to reread these but not because Imissed anything. Each book picks up well enough to carry itself. I just "have" to read the entire series.

If none of you have read this series, I strongly encourage you to do so. It's a great wrap of paranormal, hot sexiness, and well-rounded, relatable characters.

[Katherine]

Had to put down the two books I was reading to read .

[Megan]

finished , currently reading

[Katherine]

Was LK's new book as good as all her others?

I read yesterday, my favorite being The Windflower, which I've been putting off for a looong time because I was worried it would be a traditional bodice ripper... boy was I wrong!! Does anyone know if L.London ever got around to Cat's story?
Enslave was my least favorite (too flat, 2*), and The Marriage Bed was a surprise because I wasn't sure I would like it, seeing as I usually hate unhappy marriage plots (gave it 3*).. The other three were between 4 and 5*:-)

[Mandy]

finished book one yday and enjoyed it much moe than I thought I wld after it started.

[Heidi]

Just starting christmas Eve at Friday Harbour.

[Heidi]

Lol.. I just finished it too, along with ..

I liked Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor too, but it was mainly a sweet story.. Not much angst, and not long enough:-) Otherwise, it was great:-)

that's called raw talent Heidi!!!!


:-)

[Laura]

I agree with most of the comments on ...it was such a sweet story and short enough I wished it was longer (but in a good way!). I was honestly apprehensive about her concentrating on new contemporaries for awhile because I love her historicals so much, but I feel she's off to a good start on this series.

[Katherine]

Now reading
love the cover. :)

[D.G.]

I'm reading . All I have to say is WOW!

fun book, huh?

[Heidi]

DG, please, do tell us ladies what is so "WOW" about this book!

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

Yes, D.G. do tell us~I just added this to my to read list last night!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I want to know, too. I'm starting to get twitchy, knowing I won't be able to buy books in 2011, so I'm looking for things to buy NOW.

[Cheryl]

Heh. heh. heh.... Dhes is going to binge on book-buying until January. :)

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

I'm thinking of signing up for the first two months... no buying...but then since March is my bday month, I'll lift the ban, and then maybe add some more...

so..I'm binging too!

why no books in 2011???? that's impossible! How are you going to survive???

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

well, she like me, has a lot of books in her tbr pile. Mine is almost 300 strong...it's really stupid for me to keep buying when I'm not making a dent in that mountain.

LOL!!! Good for your daughter! I'll help you stay strong come time for your book-buying ban!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Melanie - I'm at 200+, close to 300 books I own, have here at home, sitting on my shelves collecting dust, waiting to be read. And that does NOT count the books I've already read.

I have to do something! Seriously. I went to B&N today because I had a coupon... and I have to go to Borders before Tuesday because I have $10 to spend. And I got 2 books in the mail today from thriftbooks.com because I just had to have them. And I'm waiting for one more to get here because I just had to have it.

See the pattern?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oh, and if you're interested, here's what I got today -

and I'm waiting on

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

OH, and for my 7 year old grandson for Christmas I got and my daughter got

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Bekah, great idea. I think I'll allow myself to buy in April which is my birthday month.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Cheryl wrote: "LOL!!! Good for your daughter! I'll help you stay strong come time for your book-buying ban! ."

Yeah, yeah. And same daughter bought a hardcover because she just had to have it!

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

There should be a limit though on how many we can buy during that month though....like...maybe we should take the average we've read for the months prior to our birthday and that will be the number of books we're allowed to buy...

Thank goodness our bdays are early in the year!!!!
