I'm starting the week with The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima.

I am reading The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd.

Julie Anne Long's Holt trilogy - I'm on the second book now (Ways to Be Wicked) and liking it a lot. She mixes humor and deep emotion so well.

Kasey, I loved TSLOB!

I am at the middle of Archangel's Kiss by Nalini Singh and after that I think I'll read Iris Johansen - Midnight Warrior... After that I'll re-read the Psy-Changelling series also by Nalini Singh.

I have reread the Carr Grace Valley series, which is fun, and read the Fools Gold series by Susan Mallery. I really disliked the second book in that series--the poor heroine had everyone being nasty to her and acting like the hero had done nothing wrong.

I'm a little over halfway through Kylie Brant's new one DEADLY INTENT. It's really good so far.

Just read a great short story Kept by Zoe Winters.

Forgiven by Shelley Shepard Gray...this is noy my normal kind of read, but I read the first two fo this trilogy and had to read the 3rd.

That is my favorite series by Carr. It's one of my comfort reads. I think I've read it 3 times so far.

I'm currently reading Nothing But Trouble by Rachel Gibson.

Read The Darkly Luminous Fight for Persephone Parker (Strangely Beautiful, #2) by Leanna Renee Hieber. Didn't enjoy as much as the first book but still a great read.

Reading The Year of Living Scandalously. I find London is a highly variable author; some of her books I can't finish (which may partly be my low tolerance for dialect) but I think The Book of Scandal may be one of the best romances I have ever read, and very brave in how it deals with a couple's coming to terms with the death of their young child given that their marriage was basically an arranged affair and not strong enough to handle the death. This book is interesting.

I finished up with The Warrior Heir, Loved it!! Can't wait to start book 2 in the series. Tonight I'm gonna start on Deadly Little Lies by Laurie Faria Stolarz.

I have a December 1 deadline for some freelance stuff, so I'm reading very little. I did manage to post a couple of NetGalley reviews today. I finished NR's Happy Ever After, but the review will have to wait. The Christmas books are stacking up, and I hope to do lots of reading next month.

I just finished A Duke's Temptation by Jillian Hunter. Despite the less-than-impressive title, I think this is her best book yet. Strongly recommended.

Read Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord by Sarah MacLean. Liked "9 Rules" better but this was good.

I'm starting by Marie Force...

Read When Harry Met Molly by Kieran Kramer. Great book! Loved the banter/bickering between hero/heroine.

I'm reading that now, Calila! I agree, it's really funny. The bickering rings very true.

I finished Julie Anne Long's Holt trilogy earlier this week. The second (Ways to Be Wicked) was my favorite, but I liked them all. Have any of you read her Pennyroyal books? I have my eye on those...

Just read A Storm of Pleasure by Terri Brisbin. Really enjoyed it.

Okie, I loved it too! It is such a great book.

I really love the Pennyroyal books especially the first two
