Beyond the Stars is a New Adult romance. New Adult is a relatively new term, at least to me. It is not YA, where the characters are in their teens, but is about people in their low to mid 20’s. The storyline for Beyond the Stars is every New Adult woman’s fantasy, at least it was mine Continue reading “This Chick Read: Beyond the Stars by Stacy Wise”
While reviewing the note about the author on Amazon, I knew that what I would be reading would be an unusual take on a murder mystery. The author, L. J. Charles, is a past yoga instructor, who, when deciding to write full time was driven to the paranormal genre because she wanted to include her life experiences with energy into her stories. This might raise question marks Continue reading “This Chick Read: A Touch of Ice (Book 1 ): The Everly Gray Adventures by L. J. Charles”
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 am a huge fan of Rebecca Zanetti’s Dark Protectors series and, in fact, just finished it during the holidays. When I saw she had a new series being released, I requested a copy on NetGalley and Kensington Books shared a pre-release copy. Mercury Striking is the first novel in the Scorpius Syndrome series. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Mercury Striking by Rebecca Zanetti”
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. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Michelle Sagara’s Cast in Honor”
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!

I was recommended this book by Goodreads because I’ve read and liked books by Susanna Kearsley and Diana Gabaldon. All of these authors write historical fiction, but that’s the only commonality I see. Kearsley’s novels are richly detailed and emotionally impactful and Gabaldon’s historical research gives her novels depth Continue reading “This Chick Read: A Race to Splendor by Ciji Ware”
Sweep in Peace is the second book in the Innkeeper series by Ilona Andrews and the synopsis below is from the website Ilona-Andrews.com.
Dina DeMille doesn’t run your typical Bed and Breakfast. Her inn is a living entity that defies laws of physics, her fluffy dog is secretly a monster, and the only paying guest is a former Galactic tyrant with a price on her head. But the inn needs guests to thrive, and guests have been scarce, so when an Arbitrator shows up at Dina’s door and asks her to host a peace summit between three warring species, she jumps on the chance. Continue reading “This Chick Read- Sweep in Peace by Ilona Andrews”
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. Continue reading “The Hot Chicks Who Read dish on Sara Gruen’s At the Waters Edge”
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”
