Book Hang-Over. The big BHO

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. That period of mourning, really, that happens right after you finish an amazing book and you just can't seem to move on. I give you Nalini Singh's latest book in the Guild Hunter series...

Archangel's Prophecy

I tend to stay far, far away from books that cause me to 'ugly cry', and really, I didn't 'ugly cry' so much as GASP uncontrollably and wish I could read faster to get to the end. This book...THIS BOOK...tore my heart out.

Then I went back and reread the last few chapters...over and over and over. Okay, it's a cliffy, and if you don't appreciate when authors ripped your guts out and leave you hanging...well...then...just wait a year, THEN READ THIS BOOK, ya know, right before the next book in the series comes out.

In the meantime, after this epic read, I was suffering severe BHO. Bad. So I completely switched genres and picked up a book that's been on my Kindle TBR pile for way too long -

Shacking Up

I so needed this book! It's fun and it's light and I'm smiling a lot...though I can see how someone else might balk at the lack of 'trigger' warnings - SPIDERS! Well, a pet tarantula, to be exact, but the thing is crawling all over and just yikes... *shivers*. To balance out the *shiver* factor, there's also a pet ferret. Helena Hunting picked the perfect compliment to creepy and crawly with cute and cuddly! Once I got past the spider thing, falling in love with Bancroft, or Bane for short, has been pretty easy.

Good thing spiders don't bother me or yeah...but they're really a beneficial insect/bug/whatever. (Just keep repeating that and everything will be okay.)
