Ty  | 1943 comments finished A Mackenzie Family Christmas The Perfect Gift (Highland Pleasures, #4.5) by Jennifer Ashley for The Many Sins of Lord Cameron (Highland Pleasures, #3) by Jennifer Ashley today. ★★★★½
short and sweet. a bit convoluted due to the large cast of characters, but it was great to revisit the brothers and the families. Love the MacKenzies and looking forward to continuing with MacBrides in the next installment.

Christina (AKA Babbling) (babblingbookreviews) | 196 comments I will be reading Heartless (The Parasol Protectorate, #4) by Gail Carriger instead of Changeless (Parasol Protectorate, #2) by Gail Carriger

Ren Puspita (renpuspita) I'll read Changeless (Parasol Protectorate, #2) by Gail Carriger again


message 510: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Finished Blameless (Parasol Protectorate, #3) by Gail Carriger on New Year's Eve. I enjoyed the wit and the snarkiness of the writing. As usual, Alexia is one capable heroine, whether dealing with deadly vampires, fanatic Templars and an inebriated werewolf husband. I give it 4 stars.


message 511: by Yvonne (new)

Yvonne (selana) I might read "A Monster Calls", it's been on my list for a while. Or maybe the Ellen Degeneres book


Christina (AKA Babbling) (babblingbookreviews) | 196 comments Heartless (The Parasol Protectorate, #4) by Gail Carriger

Heartless - ★★★★ - 31 Dec 12 (instead of Changeless)

Alexia, instead of relaxing and waiting for her baby to be born, is running all over London trying to figure out who is plotting against the queen. She learns something interesting about Ivy -- two things, really. And, surprisingly, something about Lyall that made me stop and think.

Makenzie (makenziefay) | 496 comments Just finished The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie (Highland Pleasures, #1) by Jennifer Ashley in place of The Many Sins of Lord Cameron (Highland Pleasures, #3) by Jennifer Ashley , and I loved the book. It was such a unique story dealing with such an illness at a time when any form of autism would be considered insanity. Great story! 4 stars!

And may I just say I can't wait to get to Cam's story!

I read Seduce Me at Sunrise (The Hathaways, #2) by Lisa Kleypas and I enjoyed it. I read the first book in this series a year ago and it seemed pretty similar. It was nice to have a "gypsy" character because that satisfies a favorite challenge of mine :)

I finished The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani and it was wonderful! I've read most of Adriana Trigiani's books and she makes me want to visit the Italian countryside :) My favorite book by her is Rococo because it's very funny and I love the narrator on the audio version! Read with pasta and wine, 5 stars!

I read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot and it was awesome! It was a sad story and the medical lingo was a bit confusing, but I really enjoyed it. Definately worth getting through the cell culture and medical law history.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot


message 549: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments Finished Exclusively Yours (Kowalski Family, #1) by Shannon Stacey today 3/24. I liked it but didn't love it. I really enjoyed all of the secondary characters and their stories but I just couldn't warm up to the heroine, Keri. She seemed shallow and I didn't see much growth. 3.5*
