Exploring My Bookshelves is a weekly meme created by Victoria at Addlepates and Book Nerds and co-hosted with Shannon at For the Love of Words. Visit either blog for the list of topics. I found out about this through Zezee with Books whose blog I really enjoy.
How this meme works:
Take a “shelfie” (a picture of your bookshelf Continue reading “This Chick is Exploring My Bookshelves”
I have eagerly anticipated this installment of the Fever series, as Mac and Barrons are two of my favorite fantasy romance characters. Mac has grown away from the Barbie from the south stereotype who we met in volume one, evolving into a fighter trying to save humanity, and more importantly those she loves. Barrons is still a grunting man-beast Continue reading “This Chick Read: Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning”
From the first page, this story reached out and yelled GOTCHA! I will admit, this is my favorite type of weekend read. A great mystery, a gripping plot, a strong female lead with a hint of vulnerability, and a take charge hero who is great to look at! Karen Robards is a master at developing a roller coaster thrill Continue reading “This Chick Read: Darkness by Karen Robards”
Roan and Kay are orphans. A fire destroys their old life, but they have one chance to enter the School of Faith. They are given one month to pass the entry trials, but as Roan excels and Kay fails, their devotion to each other is put to the test.
They swore they would face everything together, but when the stakes are losing the life they’ve always dreamed of, what will they do to stay together? What won’t they do? Continue reading “This Chick Read: Faith and Moonlight by Mark Gelineau and Joe King”
I read this book sitting on the couch, occasionally laughing out loud and getting strange looks from my husband, as well as grabbing a Kleenex and sniffling, trying to hide my tears. I didn’t fool anyone, including myself. I was totally into the characters and storyline, and wasn’t going to put this book down until I was done. When I was, I looked up stating, Continue reading “This Chick Read: The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin”
This is a fascinating story of a young woman who survives tragedy and reinvents herself at the turn of the 20th century. The setting changes from the Missouri social scene, to living a tough life on one of the San Juan Islands, to Skagway Alaska during the Goldrush of 1898. Eliza Waite, as did many women of her time, had very little control Continue reading “This Chick Read: Eliza Waite by Ashley E. Sweeney”
As I was reading Lost in Her, I was reminded of reading Harlequin and Silhouette romances as a teenager in California. This was a sweet tale with a somewhat naive heroine who meets a man who isn’t ready to commit due to a personal tragedy. Sandra Owens, the author, did a good job of inserting Continue reading “This Chick Read: Lost in Her by Sandra Owens”
What would you do if you went to your husband’s childhood home because the woman who raised him was in the hospital, and everything you thought you knew about him started to unravel. That is what happened to Sarah Quinlan Continue reading “This Chick Read: Missing Pieces by Heather Gudenkauf”
If you are a huge fan of Ilona Andrews, then you have become addicted, as I have, to the Kate Daniels series. Kate is a kick ass warrior woman who fights crime, solves mysteries and stands up for the underdog, using her fists, feet, sword and maybe a little boost of magic juice. The first book, Magic Bites was published in 2007, and since then, we have watched Kate grow Continue reading “This Chick Read: Currans POV (free download) by Gordon Andrews”
I have read Helen Harper’s Blood Destiny and Bo Blackman series, am a fan of her writing style, which is very consistent. Strong female lead(Check!), a hidden trait(check!), a ménage of friends who help her fight crime Continue reading “This Chick Read: Gifted Thief (Highland Magic #1) by Helen Harper”
