READ
01. Skin #1 | Skin Game by Ava Gray 4/3 ★★★☆☆ Great characters in a good story, but needed a little more emotional punch. Review
02 Psy-Changelings #2 | Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh 4/4 ★★★☆☆ Reread, I liked it better than before. Not my favorite in the series, but definitely good. Review
03. Vorkosigan Saga #1 | Shards of Honour by Lois McMaster Bujold 4/16 ★★★★☆ Awesome. The romance is very understated, but that fits with the characters and the (great!) story. Read it in one night straight. Review coming!

05. Scarabaeus #2 | Children of Scarabaeus by Sara Creasy 4/24 ★★★★☆ Awesome. Wow. Quite blown away by the plot and the ramifications - the best SF is the SF that keeps you thinking.

8/10

READ
01. Skin #1 | Skin Game by Ava Gray 4/3 ★★★☆☆ Great characters in a good story, but needed a little more emotional punch. Review
02 Psy-Changelings #2 | Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh 4/4 ★★★☆☆ Reread, I liked it better than before. Not my favorite in the series, but definitely good. Review
03. Vorkosigan Saga #1 | Shards of Honour by Lois McMaster Bujold 4/16 ★★★★☆ Awesome. The romance is very understated, but that fits with the characters and the (great!) story. Read it in one night straight. Review coming!
04. Vampire General #1 | Intern With The Vampire by Kit Iwasaki 4/18 Fun, short, light read. Some hilarious situations. Looking forward to the rest in the series.
05. Scarabaeus #2 | Children of Scarabaeus by Sara Creasy 4/24 ★★★★☆ Awesome. Wow. Quite blown away by the plot and the ramifications - the best SF is the SF that keeps you thinking.
06. Tumble Creek #3 | Lead Me On by Victoria Dahl 4/25 ★★★☆☆ Good. My first Victoria Dahl, and I'm definitely going to read more. Very serious themes, but still quite the feel-good book.
07. Carsington Brothers #2 | Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase 4/27 ★★★★★ Reread. But I liked it even more than the first time. Rupert Carsington is one of my favorite Romance hero's ever I think. He's so RAAAUWR and cute and funny and delicious and sweet and... a true hero. Review
08. Alpha & Omega #2 | Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs 4/28 ★★★★☆ Read the prologue, book one and book 2 in a long sleepless night. Boy is this series delicious.
