Embarrassment of riches August roundup:

 

First, I know this is late. But on the other hand, Pooks haven’t put up the linky yet.The point of this challenge is to read 50 books fthat have lingered in the TBR pile, and I am slowly working toward that goal. What the three first one have in common is that they were free or cost 0.99.

 

Beyond the Night by Joss Ware:

I liked it. It was an post-apocalyptic romance set in an  intresting world,  with some parts that felt a bit too far fetched.

 

Blood of the Witches:

It was good, but I lost intrested 2/3s through. Not sure why, I think I just got tired of the heroine hiding that she was a witch.

 

Sealed forever by Mary Margaret Daughtridge:

I had forgotten how much I liked this series, it is sweet and charming. But the first book is the best one.

 

Christina och Carl Piper by Svante Norrhem:

And now for something different. This is a biography I bought on sale a couple of years ago, and it is very interesting to see how life was for a couple during the reign of Karl XII. With war and what nots.

Embarassment of Riches: July Round up

TBR-vignette1

 

Actually, this is the round up for both June and July, since I never did a June post. Mainly because I read 7 books in June.

Working for the Devil by Lilith Saintcrow:

This has been in my TBR pile for years. I have started it a couple of times, but never finished it. Until now. It was well written, and I liked the world but I didn’t like the romance between Dante and Japh.

Unnatural Issue by Mercedes Lackey:

This was a Fantasy Romance, and while there was a HEA it didn’t feel right. The heroine spends the whole book pining for one guy ( This pining propelled the plot), and then ended up with someone else. Ugh.

The Cowboy takes a bride by Lori Wilde:

I liked it, but it didn’t feel like a contemporary romance, more like a women’s fic disguised to romance.

Dead Alert by Bianca D’Arc:

This was a Zombie book, and I liked the author’s voice and I liked the characters. I plan to get the novella that I don’t have in this series, since I think it is best to read the series in order.

Sweet Masterpiece by Connie Shelton:

I have had this in my Smashwords library for years, and finally got around to read it. It was Ok, but I didn’t like the paranormal element. It felt like it was just tacked on, not integrated into the setting.
