JR Ward, Nalini Singh, Ilona Andrews
Unfortunately, I could not get into the JR Ward chat last night. I tried along with a couple hundred (at least) other people and the chat room was frozen forever and then we all got locked out. I think a chat actually occurred, not sure with how many people:) So I will have to wait for the transcript to come out in a few days to find out what happened. Her message board was filled with so many people unhappy that they were frozen out. It was kind of funny towards the end. I don't think the Continue Reading
Vote for Your Favorite Shapeshifter and New Josh Lanyon
EDITED TO ADD:Prologue to fourth Kate Daniel's book is up!!Bitten by Books has a poll going on their website to vote for your favorite shapeshifter - scroll down a bit and it is on the right side. At first glance, I had two options - either Curran or Adam. However, if you read Ilona Andrew's blog (author of the "Magic" series) she says if Curran wins, we get the prologue from the fourth Kate Daniel's book that will tell us how dinner goes between Kate and Curran. Remember in book three, Magic Continue Reading
Tuesday Tidbits
I just finished Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase. Yes, I am the last historical romance fan on the planet to have read this book. I told my husband I can't believe it came out in 1995 and I have never read it!! He doesn't seem to think 1995 was that long ago...but I have missed 14 years of obsessing over this book! (14 yrs ago I probably would not have appreciated it like I do now though) I am in complete love with both Sebastian and Jessica. In my opinion, this book was perfection. The Continue Reading
Magic Strikes – Ilona Andrews
This book takes place a few years ahead in the future where magic has bested technology. Usually, every couple of days the magic flares, leaving technology dead - cars don't work, lights go out, and creatures of all kinds come out to play. People that have natural magical abilities are strongest at this time. Then technology will rise again for a few days and the world is back to "normal." However, people with magical abilities are still able to perform, although at a somewhat weaker pace.In Continue Reading
