13 Books I’ve Read Recently

I am exhausted from a night of fireworks and revelry so my brain is not terribly prone to being creative. I'm just gonna list all the books I've read recently, starting with the one I'm reading now.

1. Polly’s Perilous Pleasures by Daisy Dexter Dobbs
2. Making Chase by Lauren Dane
3. Tempting Darkness by Rene Lyons
4. The Daystar by Rene Lyons
5. Midnight Sun by Rene Lyons
6. Buying Mackenzie’s Baby by Kim Rees
7. Eyes of Crow by Jeri Smith-Ready
8. Morrigan’s Cross by Nora Roberts
9. Dance of the Gods by Nora Roberts
10. Valley of Silence by Nora Roberts
11. Dark Dream by Christine Feehan
12. Dark Legend by Christine Feehan
13. Dark Guardian by Christine Feehan

Yes, I know...I'm a Series fiend. I can't resist reading them. I can't resist writing them. Yay for Series!

I love series too. I just finished the latest Christine Feehan--Safe Harbor. It was fantastic.

Was wondering about the Nora R. series? I usually love her books, but in reading the blurb on these I'm not sure!

NJ: I need to finish off the rest of the Dark Series. Then one of my girlfriends insists that I read the Drake Sisters one too. She loves it.

Miss Frou Frou: Well it's very Fantasy/Paranormal. So if you're fond of that then I'd say you'll like it. It didn't get the greatest reviews. They were saying there wasn't enough character development, but I sure didn't see it that way.

Well, holy cow, Lesley! That's about the last thing I expected when I popped over here this morning. Thanks! I hope you enjoy PPP, it's been a reader favorite.

May I add, this is simply a brilliant TT...absolutely brilliant. LOL

Lori: Well, it's been over the course of a few months. :) Actually I read painfully slowly!

Daisy: I just love Polly Perilous Pleasures!!! It cracks me the heck up! Especially the spreadsheet thing! I love her! She's so a girl after my own heart.

i keep meanig to pick up that Eyes of Crow because 1. it has crows and 2. it has a main character named Rhia... the whole thing kinda spooks me out though. I mean what a weirdo coincidence. I'm scared i'll read the story of my life as someone else's novel. grin!

Rhian: Go read it now! It may actually be my favorite book of all time. It's absolutely amazing. The story is great. The writing is beautiful. And if it's your life...well good grief, woman, you've been keeping things from us. ;) The new one comes out in September! I can't wait.

Series are great. I bought Janet Evanovich's "Lean Mean Thirteen" last night and I'm dying to get to it.

Yep, hooray for series, indeed! Even loosely-linked ones; it's the familiarity of being in THAT world, whichever world it may be, and feeling like you're coming home. Sorta like the gang at Cheers must have felt.

Happy T13!

I see your list and I wanna bawl. I haven't been able to read forever. SOB!

I am a series girl too. Always hoping that a stand alone will turn into more

I'm with you on the series! I just started re-reading a series that started in 2001. It's 6 books in and more to come, but I wanted to start again and refresh my memory before I start the next one!

Spyscribbler: I haven't actually finished all the Christine Feehan books. They are on my insanely large to be bought list. Dang I wish I were rich...and read faster.

Lisa: I've never heard of those. I'll have to take a look.

Susan: The Cheers analogy is absolutely perfection. I couldn't agree more.

Lorelie: I don't know how I manage to find time to read. Getting into ebooks has been helpful. I've always got my PDA.

Elle: I really should do the same thing with the Harry Potter books before the last one comes out...Will I have time? No! But it's a good plan nonetheless hehe

Joely: Me too!!!

Michelle, Raven: Glad you visited!

13 of my Favorite Quotes from Fiona O'Sithein I'm too darn sleepy to be creative tonight so I'm drawing on my ready-made list. Not to be confused with the one I did about the first lines of the chapters in Fiona. Those weren't nearly my favorites. Is it narcissistic to have favorite quotes that you wrote yourself? When I'm giggling my head off at something I wrote, my husband always looks at me kinda funny. Oh, well if it is, then here is me reveling in narcissism. :-D May you enjoy them as much as I do. 1. Fiona: “What? You think just because I don’t have any magic like my brother or super strength like you people that I’m useless?” 2. Bonnie: “He’s not a heretic, is he?” Fiona: “Isn’t everyone these days?” 3. Fiona: “No one wants to be the one to deflower the king’s daughter.” 4. Fiona: “Yes, Beltran, you’re a vampire. How could anyone forget it when you’re reminding them of it ten times a day? You are the only vampire I know who seems to obsess ab...

Thirteen Things that take My Breath Away 1. This little Guy... Need I say More? 2. Eden Falls at the Lost Valley This picture doesn't even remotely do it justice. The first time I saw Eden Falls was in the middle of the summer after a big rain storm so there was water absolutely gushing from it! It made getting into the cave at the top somewhat more difficult than usual, but it was absolutely beautiful. I had never seen anywhere like it in my life. I thought places like that only existed in wall calenders! 3. The Ocean The vastness of it. The sound of the waves. The smell of it. That humid, cool wind that blows off it. The way it moves. Pretty much everything about it! *Lesley desperately needs a trip to the beach* 4. The Ozark Mountains My home! The very first time I came here I just knew this was where I wanted to be. I grew up on the delta with nothing but rice fields and flat land as far as the eye can see. There is a place on the drive up the mountain where you come around a c...

Well, I had been planning on putting up 13 pictures from my vacation, but my computer crashed yesterday and has to go to the doctor. I hope they can fix it, because I haven't backed up those 450 pictures I took. :-( I did upload all the really cute ones of Nicky to snapfish though, so at least there is that. This brings me to the question I have for y'all...Does anyone have a good gremlin banishing ritual they would like to share with me??? Just this week, my fridge, my car and my computer have all stopped working. The car was just a battery problem, and it has been replaced. I still don't know what is wrong with the computer or the fridge yet though. Without pictures but still in honor of my vacation... 13 Things I Did in Denmark Fed the ducks, swans, and geese at Damhus Lake. Nicky loved this! He was absolutely entranced by the birds. His favorite part (and keep in mind, he is a boy) was throwing the bread so that it landed on the swans back and then laughing hyst...
