This is my first novel and review for 2016. I am very partial to fantasy novels and this series is one of my favorites. However, it is a very intellectual fantasy series and sometimes borders on needing a Philosophy or Mathmatics major to completely grasp. Cast in Honor was no different, and for the first 100 pages I wondered what direction Ms. Sagara was leading me and could we please get there quicker.

#readinto16 This Chick is Reading: Cast in Honor by Michelle Sagara
I was reading my morning blog by Cleopatra Loves Books and she referenced a challenge by another blogger BookerTalk to post a brief note about the book you were reading as 2016 started. I will confess. I fell asleep early, but had just started reading Michelle Sagara’s Cast in Honor, which is book #11 in the Chronicles of Elantra series. I am also supposed to include a photo of myself reading the book, but since I’m reading it on my IPad, here is the artwork from the cover.
I challenge you all to also post a brief mention on your blog about what book you are reading as the New Year starts. Tweet about it. Let’s start a revolution! #readinto16. I’ll let you know my thoughts on this book in a few days.
Cheers, and Happy New Year!

The Hot Chicks Who Read dish on Sara Gruen’s At the Waters Edge
I am in a book club called the Hot Chicks Who Read. I laugh as I write that because, if you asked any one of us if we were hot chicks, we’d say, No! It’s just a fun title, and it is. Privately, however, I think each of us would agree, yeah, we’re hot, but we’ll laugh as we say it. The group of 30-60 year olds meet every six weeks or so, and dish on a book we’ve picked for that months meeting. Our choice of books have had hits and misses, but the one thing all of the choices have had in common is that the group of us have probably enjoyed talking about the books more than we have had actually reading them.

This Chick Read: Gail Carriger-Manners and Mutiny
How amazing would it be if you were a teenage girl sent to finishing school as punishment, but were in fact being sent to an Espionage school, in a dirigible! This is the case for Sophronia, and the other young ladies sent to Madame Geraldine’s in the Finishing school series. A prequel to the Parasol Protectorate series, this is the last of four books. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Gail Carriger-Manners and Mutiny”

This Chick Read: Shannon Stacey’s Undeniably Yours
I have mixed feelings about today. It’s Thanksgiving, and my husband and I were supposed to be on the road to be with my family in the mountains in North Carolina. However, we found out this weekend that there was a mixup with the property management company and they rented our house to someone else. So, our plans have changed. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Shannon Stacey’s Undeniably Yours”

This Chick Read: I want to be Cormoran Strike’s girl Friday!
I initially picked up Robert Galbraith’s Cuckoo’s Calling because I was a fan of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series. The Cormoran Strike series is written with the same kind of detail we came to love from the Harry Potter books. That detail made them so much more than just children’s novels. Galbraith’s London, in which Cormoran Strike lives, is disillusioned, painful and muddy. Continue reading “This Chick Read: I want to be Cormoran Strike’s girl Friday!”

This Chick Read: Books as memories
I don’t have the best memory. What do they say about an elephants memory? It’s something like an elephant remembers everything from the day they were born. I think my sister is like that. My brother and I marvel about the stories that she tells about our childhood. We were there but neither of us remember as many details as she does. The memories I do remember really well involve books. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Books as memories”

This Chick Read: Who doesn’t want to be a Rock Chick? Or any Kristen Ashley character…
Although, if you’re a Rock Chick you have to be kidnapped, shot at, held hostage, kidnapped again, and possibly raped. BUT! You get to be a part of the greatest group of female friends ever. I read Kristen Ashley’s Rock Chick series first out of all of her books, which is the correct thing to do because almost all of the rest of her series reference these characters Continue reading “This Chick Read: Who doesn’t want to be a Rock Chick?

This Chick Read: My first book on the blog
I typically only read a book if I think it’s not too serious, won’t give me nightmares, and has a little action. I read a little bit of everything, though lean more towards romance than any other genre. I blame my older sister for starting my romance addiction at the relatively young age of 16. I went to visit her at college and would stay up until 2 am reading Silhouette romances. Continue reading “This Chick Read: My first book on the blog”
