What are you reading?

[Tammy]

So what do you have on the go for 2011, Danielle? Do you plan out your reading or just wing it?

[Cindi]

Just started last night!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

Tammy, I have some challenges going, so I am reading in light of those. I also write reviews for Bitten by Books, so I have some of those queued up. A little of everything, to answer your question. What about you?

Cindi, how are liking Reckless?

[Tammy]

I just float around between my tbr, the library, the UBS, and stuff that the rest of you are reading that piques my interest...and of course because I read every book too quickly the first time, I usually go back and re-read most of my books a second time. Are your reviews on Bitten by Books the same as the reviews you post on GR?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

I only read about 1-5 books a month for them, so most of my reviews are books I'm reading from my own tbr. I review fantasy and horror for them. I envy how fast you read, girl! I wish I could do more rereading!

[Cindi]

Dani, I'm not too far in yet but I had to stop and check my GR lists to see if I'd already read it (I hadn't)! The beginning seems just like that of Ruthless but I expect that to change soon. I really am more of a fan of her more contemporary books, like the Ice Series, etc. But I'll read whatever she writes . . .

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

The hook is similar, but the execution and the small elements are pretty different. I hope you like it.

[Love love]

I've just started . I'm only on page 65 but so far so good. =)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

I liked that one a lot, Noelle. It has a Dangerous Liaisons feel to me.

[Love love]

I'm sure I'll like it too, so far Anne Stuart has not disappointed me and I've loved each of her books that I've read. This is only book 7 however but I have many more in my bookself.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

I have my faves by AS, but I can't say I've truly hated a book by her. I was disappointed with Museum Piece, but I'll try it again.

[Love love]

I havn't read that one yet and I don't have it. The ones that I do have that I havn't read yet is

HIDDEN HONOR
SHADOW LOVER
SHADOWS AT SUNSET
LORD OF DANGER
INTO THE FIRE
STILL LAKE


I've started a new system of picking new books to read from my tbr. I usually have a really hard time choosing what to read next so now I just open the bookshelves and pull about 6 or 7 due to title and genre ( I try to mix it up) and then those are the ones I chose from until I read them all.Crazy I know but anyway this time I had pulled two of Anne Stuarts out, TO LOVE A DARK LORD (wich I'm reading now) and INTO THE FIRE. I'm not sure how any of these have rated but hopefully they're good. =)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

Hey, I like that system! I've been known to do the eenie, meenie, mini, mo thing with books.

As for your list, I am not as fond of Shadow Lover and Still Lake, although they were good. The rest...thumbs way up from me. I especially love Lord of Danger out of that list. But, your milage may vary.

[Love love]

Thanks for the ratings for my list, I think that I will pull at least one of her books out each time unitl I read through them all. =)

That is such a good one, Noelle (one of my fave Anne Stuart's), hope you like it!

I just finished (really good - fast paced and exciting) and (not so good - pretty disappointing).

Next up is

[Love love]

I've just started and I can already tell this will be one that I would recommend. It's hooked me from the very first pages. =)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

Cool!

[Love love]

Okay, I LOVED LOVED LOVED and I guess I needed to read some more Anne Stuart so now I'm reading .

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

Man, you are making me want to do a massive Anne Stuart reread, Noelle!

[Love love]

LOL Lady Danielle, I do have to say that I'm not really loving NIGHT OF THE PHANTOM. It's kinda a mix between Bueaty and The Beast and Phantom Of The Opera. Just not my cuppa but still hanging in there with it.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

It's not one of my faves by her, either, Noelle.

[Tammy]

I FINALLY got my mitts on a copy of - I've had this on order at my library for months!

[willaful]

I'm reading -- have had the two sequels for ages and finally found the first. I love it! Such a sexy cat burglar! He's a kinder, gentler Stuart hero but none the worse for it.

[Tammy]

Wow - how old is that one?

[willaful]

Originally published 1985. Older than my marriage!

[Tammy]

Miami Vice was on tv and I was just graduating high school. You'll have to let us know how this one has held up. :)

[willaful]

I don't think it's dated much at all, no more than you'd expect of a category. The San Francisco setting still works.

[Tammy]

Enjoy!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

I love Catspaw and its sequels. Great banter and the Remington Steelesque vibe is awesome.

A Rose at Midnight is definitely in my top five of Anne Stuart books, Tammy.

[Tammy]

So far so good, Danielle!

Did you say Remington Steele? SQUEEE!!!!! LOVED that show. (Well, more specifically, loved Pierce Brosnan.)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

Remington Steele was awesome! I have them all on DVD. I need to watch those!

[Tammy]

Have you seen "The Thomas Crown Affair" with Brosnan and Rene Russo? Awesome movie -- they are both so hot the whole movie smokes. And she has a killer wardrobe. :)

[Arch]

I use to like watching Remington Steele

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

The Thomas Crown Affair was really good. Brosnan and Russo had great chemistry.

Arch, Remington Steele is one of my all time favorites.

[Arabellavidal]

Mmmmm! Love Remington Steele! Used to watch reruns regularly. Really have to buy the DVD!

Just finished reading Rocky Road with its delicious heroine and Harrison Ford-as-a-tortured-detective hero! Yum!

Plus, a friend allowed me to read her copy of AS' ebook, The Fall of Maggie Brown! Highly recommended!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

That's awesome you are reading some of her older Harlequins, Arabella. She has some really good stuff in those lines.

[Arabellavidal]

Speaking of her older Harlequins, how many have been brave enough to read Tangled Lies? It's part of the same series as Rocky Road - Men Made in America. I was initially very reluctant to read ahead due to some reviews on Amazon, but in the end I'm glad I did!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Gotta Have My AS Fix!]

I liked Tangled Lies. It's not a favorite, but I've been meaning to reread it, since it was one of her darker HQNs, and I'd like to see how I like it post the Ice series.
