This Chick Read: Michelle Sagara’s Cast in Honor

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”

This Chick Read: Kristen Callihan’s Game On series


Leading up to the Christmas holiday I read the third book in Kristen Callihan‘s Game On series called The Game Plan.  When I checked out this book on my Overdrive app, I’ll admit that I read the synopsis because the cover art drew me in.  Usually I’m not drawn to the naked chest covers.  I mean, I look, because who doesn’t! Continue reading “This Chick Read: Kristen Callihan’s Game On series”

This Chick Read: Bewitched and Betrayed by Lisa Shearin

Over the Christmas holiday I needed to branch out and read a novel that didn’t have a man’s naked chest on the cover.  I was in the middle of reading Kristen Callihan‘s Game on series, and was finding it really hard to put down.  The men were fine, the women were strong and the sex was great.  However, as much as I love the romance genre, I couldn’t bring myself to flaunt those naked male chests, as fabulous as they were, Continue reading “This Chick Read: Bewitched and Betrayed by Lisa Shearin”

#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!

This Chick Read: A Race to Splendor by Ciji Ware

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”
