Time again to wrap-up what went on in my reading life for the week. Let's see...
I was down to five unread recent ebooks. Time to get some more! I downloaded 4 books. They're all paranormals of one form or another. So, I'm now at 9 unread newish ebooks.
Also, Tuesday, picked up Silver James' new paperback at the Wallyworld. Squee! We won't discuss the number of unread hardcopy books I have. It's massive. But I'm a book hoarder, so it's no big surprise there. And the hardcopy books are all of an age where no one is really expecting a review, so no big rush.
Books read:
20) Empire's Scion by BC Kellogg (3/8/19) - SF*# - 5 stars. New to me and underappreciated. Picked this up for free off the Book Barbarian newsletter.
Review: "Wow.
That was a really good story. Interesting premises. Intriguing plot.
Awesome characterization. I loved Lees. I loved his crews. I especially
loved the 'cat'. I'll have to hunt down the sequel when I'm ready for
another SF."
19) Billionaire Country by Silver James (3/8/19) - Romance - 5 stars. Definitely not new to me, but always underappreciated in my opinion. Paid regular price minus the Wallyworld discount.
Review: "SQUEE!
I snagged a copy from the Wallyworld on Tuesday (got the last copy!
woohoo) when it came out, but I was too wrapped up to start it then. I
opened it this morning and inhaled it all. So good! I loved Zoe and
Tucker and little Bugtussle. Filled with awesome. The only bad thing
about reading these books is waiting for the next one to come out."
DNFs:
3/2/19 - urban fantasy. I was having problems with massive head-hopping (POV changes). Then the author said something totally off the wall regarding heights and measurements... something easily edited with a little research - or common sense. It was a small thing, but combined with the other stuff, it made me move on to the next book.
---------
Not sure what I'm reading next. I read finished two books yesterday - I set Empire's Scion down to read Billionaire Country and then finished it afterwards - then decided to focus on writing for the rest of the evening. (Psst... after I scheduled this for this morning, I picked up a book 2 mystery. Heh.)
What kinds of reading escapades were you up to last week?
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed BC. It was a pain to write but I loved how it eventually turned out. ;)
ReplyDeleteI finished the re-listen/new listen to the 3-book Moonlight Gothic trilogy by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Makes me want to write a Gothic novel now. LOL The final book was MOONLIGHT SCANDALS and while the other two books got 4 stars, this one got a 5 from me.
I re-listened to NAKED IN DEATH, did a quick review of the most recent In Death books to refresh my memory before diving into the newest release, CONNECTIONS IN DEATH. I do so <3 this series! It was a good one. 4 stars.
The next book on my list was WILD COUNTRY by Anne Bishop and set in her The Others world. I love the fantasy series like damn and whoah. Started the new book, got as far as the Author's Note and realized this book has a concurrent timeline with the 5th book but also involved events from the 4th and I was a little hazy on details. So, I happily listened to the 4th book, MARKED IN FLESH, and am currently listening to ETCHED IN BONE. And then I get to dive into WILD COUNTRY.
Once I'm finished with it, not sure what I'll read after. Guess I'll see what falls out of my Kindle. LOL
