Quick Reviews

Here are a few quick book reviews, since I haven’t been doing them lately. I want to give my impressions of these books, even if not full-blown reviews. After all… I am calling myself a bookwyrm. I need to have books in here SOMEWHERE to make that really count. First is the book I just [...]

Week 34: Forsaken by Shadow

Here is this week’s 52 Books in 52 Weeks post… Forsaken by Shadow by Kait Nolan (paranormal fantasy/romance) This is an e-book that I picked up after reading Kait’s Friday Snippets on her blog. (They’re here. I’ll wait while you go read them.) I am very glad I did! It’s a fun read, and waiting [...]

Week 32: Discord & Bones

Here is this week’s 52 Books in 52 Weeks post… Today we have a 2-book review! First up… City of Bones (Mortal Instruments #1) by Cassandra Clare (YA paranormal, romance-ish) I enjoyed this book, but. It is YA. In places, VERY YA. However, it was amusing. There was some good world-building, and some really enjoyable [...]

Romance Top Thirteen

I’m stealing this idea from Shiloh Walker (who stole it as well)… Only I’m making it 13 instead of her 10 because it’s a Thursday 13 this way. (And because I can. So there.) Now, these are not all “official” romance novels. But they all have a romance (to one degree or another) in them. So [...]

Week 31: Beautiful Death

Here is this week’s 52 Books in 52 Weeks post… Beautiful Death by Joely Sue Burkhart (spec fic romance) I really enjoyed this book. I actually considered yelling at Joely over Twitter at one point while I was reading it… because it was 2am, I had tons of things I needed to do the following [...]

Week 30: Waking the Witch

Here is this week’s 52 Books in 52 Weeks post… Waking the Witch by Kelley Armstrong (urban fantasy) First of all, this book is due out for US release today, I believe. Unlike Kelley’s YA series, I did not beta read this one… my local book store got the book I’d put on hold in [...]

Week 28: Frostbitten

Frostbitten by Kelley Armstrong (paranormal romance) This is the tenth book in the (Women of the) Otherworld series, and while it could theoretically be read out of order, there’s no reason why you would want to. At the very least, you’d want to read the other books narrated by Elena (Bitten, Stolen, and Broken). However, [...]

Week 25: Dreamveil

Dreamveil (Kyndred book 2)  by Lynn Viehl  (paranormal romance) Dreamveil is the second in Lynn Viehl’s Kyndred series. And I loved it. I like both of the books in this second series so far, just as I liked all of the books in her Darkyn series (which is the precursor to this one). I don’t [...]

Week 13: Crimson & Steam

This is my weekly 52 Books in 52 Weeks post… Crimson & Steam by Liz Maverick (paranormal romance / historical romance) First of all, this book is well into the Crimson City series, and I haven’t read any of the other books in that series. So there could easily have been some details I missed, [...]

Week 9: Mine To Possess

This is my weekly 52 Books in 52 Weeks post… Mine To Possess by Nalini Singh (paranormal romance) This is the fourth book in Ms. Singh’s Psy-Changeling series, and I’m still enjoying every minute of it. I am pleased to report that this book contains a real, live HUMAN. One pet peeve about so many [...]
