Tome Thursday: The Rescue

Hello everyone!

So as you know, my books of choice are usually connected with either mystery, something historical, or at the moment the Black Dagger Brotherhood series (is anyone else excited for Black Dagger Legacy? Raise your hands!). I'm actually reading a number of books at the moment, namely one by Diana Gabaldon (from her Lord John series, I might do a review on it next week), the book written by Derek Hough, a book about Boudicca ... yes, I have issues. This is what happens when you have an e-reader which allows you to book jump a whole lot! But generally speaking I usually go through one or two books before starting anything new and such.

And from time to time, I also need a break from all the harrowing stuff I read, and then I decide to pick up Danielle Steel, Susan E. Phillips, or Nicholas Sparks.

Yes, Sparks.

Of course I don't pick this last choice often - mainly because his books (and movies) ALWAYS make me cry! But when I do, I just suck it up. My latest choice was 'The Rescue'.

Tome Thursday: Fancy Pants

Hello everyone!

The past two Thursdays I've spent talking about book series instead of an actual book, and while technically I'll still be mentioning a series today, I'll actually be describing a book I started reading this morning, and couldn't put down until I finished it late in the afternoon (with breaks, of course!).

The book I read is titled Fancy Pants, and the author is Susan Elizabeth Phillips. SEP first came to my attention completely by accident when my sister, looking for some easy holiday reading, bought one of her books titled 'Nobody's Baby But Mine'; since she doesn't read many books to begin with, and she pretty much giggled through most of the tome, obviously I had to check out what was so funny, and thus I found myself reading some genuinely amusing books by a good author. Now, sometimes, she does tend to repeat herself - and most of her men usually have the same knee-jerk reactions - but generally speaking, I enjoy reading whichever book I pick up that has her name on it.
