November

A new month and a new post.  I am just going to continue on from last month.

Allison, if you are liking the historical romance genre right now you might try Julia Quinn.  Her Bridgerton series takes place in 1800's England.  The first in the series is The Duke and I.

Right now I am about 1/3 of the way through The Serpent's Daughter by Suzanne Arruda.  It is the 3rd book in the Jade del Cameron mystery series I have telling you guys about.  I am not liking this one as much as the first 2.  This one is set in Morocco and they use a lot of terms from other languages which isn't back but I have a hard time pronouncing them and that slows me down when I am reading.  The series is definitely still worth read.  Just a fair warning about book 3.

Next I think I am going to read either the first in the Jane Austen mystery series or the third in the Percy Jackson and the Olypians series.

i like julia quinn. the first book i read by her was the diaries of miss miranda cheever. it ddint seem to have the best reviews but i like it. i have a few of her other books but havent read them yet due to my back log of books is well into the hundreds and im broke so i can send on the ones i have read. well mayb next month, i have mr wyndham and cavendish, everything ande the moon i think, on the way to the wedding, to sir philp with love an don e othe rbut im having a mind block. i also like amanda quick have read a few of hers and like stephanie laurens bastion club series. i have almost all of them except a few of the newer ones.

last night a read anyone but you by jennifer crusie. loved it like i do all her books. some better than others but this was on the higher spectrum. just started the highlander in love by julia london. dont like it as much as janet chapmans' pine creek series but everyone has their own style of writing.

havent decided what to start reading today but i was thinking of reading simply sinful by carly philips but we will see how that goes.

I finished The Serpent's Daughter by Suzanne Arruda.  Good book. Not the best in the series but still good.

Now I am reading Sorcery and Cecelia or the Enchanted Chocolate Pot. Here is the synopsis:

A great deal is happening in London and the country this season.

For starters, there's the witch who tried to poison Kate at the Royal College of Wizards. There's also the man who seems to be spying on Cecelia. (Though he's not doing a very good job of it--so just what are his intentions?) And then there's Oliver. Ever since he was turned into a tree, he hasn't bothered to tell anyone where he is.

Clearly, magic is a deadly and dangerous business. And the girls might be in fear for their lives . . . if only they weren't having so much fun!

If you are fan of Jane Austen and Regency England then this book might me a good choice.  FYI...it is written in letter form.  I know some people don't like to read books that are written in a series of letters so I just wanted to give people a heads up.

I just finished Sorcery and Cecelia last night (see above post).  I thought it was pretty good.  It is a cute book and a fast read.  I found it a little hard to remember who was who sometimes because the girls and their circumstances are very similar.  This book is written by two authors and each author writes the letters for one of the girls.  The writing styles are also very similar and it makes it hard to distinguish between the two girls.

posted by allison on 11/21/2009 04:14 PM

I just finished The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown.  I thought it was pretty good but definitely not as good as Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code.  I thought it took a little bit too long to get to the conclusion of the book and then when it finally came it wasn't really all that surprising.  The action was good leading up to the climax and then it just kind of trailed off into nothing much.  Did anyone else read this book?

I also tried to read some of Moon Called for next month but I couldn't really get in to it.  I think I will try again in a week or two.  Maybe I just wasn't  in the mood for it right now.

Today I started Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot.  I have a few of her other books and I thought they were fun and fast reads. Mindless entertainment as my mom would say.

posted by Kris on 11/22/2009 03:28 PM

almost done with comfort and joy and wyoming kid is 3/4 done. will plan on starting stranger in her bed, logger book 2 by janet chapman tomorrow. will be goign through my current stack until the xmas ones i order show up

posted by allison on 11/23/2009 02:05 PM

I finished Queen of Babble a couple of days ago.  It was good and I will probably read the others in the series.  Mindless entertainment just like I thought but there is nothing wrong with that.

Now I am reading The Leopard's Prey which is the fourth in that Jade del Cameron Africa mystery series I have been reading.

Had to run by the library to pick up some books for the kids with no intention of getting a book for me as I have too many to read already but was just grazing at the new release section and came across The Stepmother by Carrie Adams...read a few pages and was sucked in. Dear John is on hold.... :)
