Hello there! It was a pretty dam good reading week... pardon the pun.
I didn't pick up any new ebooks this week, but I did get four paperbacks - suspense, fantasy, literature, and adventure. I also accidentally one-clicked a NF ebook that I was trying to add to my cart in hardcopy. Derp. (Not a cheap mistake, lemme tell ya.) And I ordered two paperbacks - a NF and a copy of Little House in the Big Woods - which for some reason I have never read. And I still have 8 unread ebooks waiting on my Kindle. Woo.
Books Read:
15) Savaged Illusions: The Complete Series by Jennifer Lyon (3/19/21) - Romance - 5 stars. Not new to me, but underappreciated as a whole. Paid full price at the time of release: $3.99. (It's $6.99 now.)
Review: "I read each of the books in this series separately when they were released and I loved them all. But this set... reading them all the way through from start to finish... is so much more awesome. I loved being able to read Liza and Justice's story from the moment they meet through heartrending parts to the incredible and satisfying climax and the wonderful ending. Okay, I did have to set it aside for a couple days because I had forgotten how intense the story is. But that made it even better. I usually don't buy box sets, especially when I've already read the individual novels, but this was so worth it and so totally worth the re-read."
14) Boulder Dam by Zane Grey (3/17/21) - Adventure - 5 stars. Not new to me but probably could be more appreciated. Picked this up at the thrift store for 50c.
Review: "A most excellent story. Not a western per se, but still had a western flair to it. I loved the characters and the plot and the premise. I enjoyed the history of it all and the action. There was also a nice romantic angle, which rounded the book out nicely. Unfortunately, the Epilogue was meh, but it was only a wrap-up and didn't effect the overall awesomeness of the story. It was just not as wow as the rest of the book."
Available in Audio.
No DNFs.
Currently reading... I finished Jen Lyon's book not long before bedtime, so I didn't have time to start anything new.
What reading things were you up to this week?
Got distracted this morning just now getting back to this. Oops. I'm at 42 books and on track to meet my GR challenge.
ReplyDelete42 - After Glow (Harmony #2, Jayne Castle, SciFi/Paranormal. 5 stars. Fave series and author.
41 - The Rogue King (Inferno #1), Amanda Owen, Paranormal 4 stars. Offshoot of another series. Dragon shifters. Predicable story. Okay but didn't blow my skirts up.
40 - After Dark (Harmony #1), Jayne Castle, SciFi/Paranormal 5 stars. Old favorite.
Currently reading: Ghost Hunter (Harmony #3) Jayne Castle. And I'll probably marathon the whole series.
Happy reading!
