This Chick Read: Best of My Love by Susan Mallery

Last week, on my flight to the RT Booklover’s Convention in Las Vegas I read Susan Mallery’s brand new novel Best of My Love.  It seemed to be kismet that I had picked this book to read because her name was featured predominantly on our badges,  her books were handed out as gifts while we waited in line, and she and Robyn Carr hosted a session for their fans, thanking them for their support.  I was excited, this being my first Susan Mallery book that I’ve ever read, that I was able to honestly say that I was a fan.  This book was fantastic!

#RT16 Book Fair in Vegas

Saturday was the last day of our trip to the RT Convention in Vegas.  The Book Fair was from 10a-2p, and around 800 Authors were present.  Even though my book count at that point was 108, and I spent $110 shipping home two boxes this morning, there were a few book items that I still needed to have!  The people who had bought a week long convention pass got in a half hour earlier than the rest of the masses so you’ll note its kind of empty.  A half hour from when I took these photo’s, it was packed wall to wall!  Continue reading “#RT16 Book Fair in Vegas” →

This Chick Read: Sea of Stars (The Kricket Series book 2) by Amy A. Bartol

The majority of Sea of Stars finds Kricket running with Trey Allairis, away from everyone who wants to control her, and through her, her powers of being able to see and change the future.  With the exception of Trey’s two Cavar brothers, Jax and Wayra, she does not trust anyone else on Ethar.  From what we have seen of the other men on Ethar, and how the men from this planet treat women, I don’t blame her.

This Chick Read: America’s First Daughter by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie

America’s First Daughter is the story of Thomas Jeffersons oldest daughter Patsy, and her life as young girl, daughter, wife, mother, and most importantly keeper of the legacy that was her father.  What a fascinating book!  Thomas Jefferson was a prolific writer,  thousands of letters which are available , the authors used those historical letters and crafted a very well plotted believable tale.  Most of which is based on fact, but some liberties were taken by the authors to create an interesting and cohesive story.

This Chick Read: Under Different Stars (The Kricket series Book 1) by Amy A. Bartol

What a great find!  I saw a tweet about this book with a quote that read “So she’s a skeezer?  What’s a skeezer?  A boyfriend stealer.  Lol.”  That one line made me curious enough to look this book up on Amazon, and the synopsis made it sound good enough to read.  As I started reading, the writing was so good, the main character, Kricket, was flawed and funny, that before I knew it, I had read the entire first book in the series and immediately bought the second.

This Chick Read: The Rejected Writers’ Book Club by Suzanne Kelman

On By deborahkehoeIn A Hot Chick Who Reads1 Comment

The Rejected Writers’ Book Club was surprisingly charming and fantastically funny.  The cast of characters all seemed slightly crazy, even more so set against the perfect straight man (or woman) Janet Johnson, the librarian.  Somehow, Janet finds herself drawn into a caper by a group of older ladies, calling themselves The Rejected Writers’ Book Club.  Doris, the leader and Alpha of the club, had “gasp”, had her book accepted by a publishing house in San Francisco. Continue reading “This Chick Read: The Rejected Writers’ Book Club by Suzanne Kelman” →

This Chick Read: Waylaid by Kim Harrison

On By deborahkehoeIn A Hot Chick Who Reads

What happens when the worlds of Rachel Morgan from Kim Harrison’s Hollows series and Peri Reed from The Drafter collides?  You get the chance to find out in Waylaid a novella by the author who wrote both.  Rachel Morgan is one of my absolute favorite fantasy characters and when that series ended, well, I was really unhappy.  When I heard that she would be back in a novella, I jumped at the chance to read it ahead of its release on April 4th.

This Chick Read: Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton

This YA book took me completely by surprise.  I try not to read other reviews if I think I’m going to review a book myself, but I had read the synopsis.  It sounded intriguing, but didn’t sound special, yep, insert foot here.  I’ll get back to this statement, I promise, BUT, Rebel of the Sands did have some similarities to other YA novels.
