Tome Thursday: Where Winter Finds You

Hello everyone!

As I mentioned in last week's book post, I have a few stragglers left from my Christmas reading binge that should have honestly been done in December, but since there's only four Thursdays you have at your disposal then, it's really impossible to fit EVERYTHING in there.

Tonight's topic is one of them.

It probably doesn't seem too Christmas-y though since there really isn't much mention of the holiday, but what it IS is definitely cold and wintry and filled with ice and snow, which is pretty accurate for this time, I suppose.

Or mostly accurate. We all know how the weather is at the moment.

Anyway, if you're lucky you have some snow, but if not then you just have frost overnight and some weird warm temperatures over day. The times when we got to frolic in the fluff are long, long gone, and I don't think they're ever coming back.

But before I get too melancholy about it, let's take a look at Where Winter Finds You, shall we?

Tome Thursday: The King

Hello everyone!

Back yet again with another book review, and what do you know (or, let's phrase it in the way it should be for this review, whaddyaknow) I'm back on a vampire binge. Only, really, I've never honestly gotten off it, especially not since reading the latest in Ward's series of books.

Mostly, it has to do with the fact that while I was reading the fourteenth one, I was struggling on occasion to figure out just what it was she was talking about. 

It had been a while, after all, since the last time I've read these, even though I never, ever delete them from my e-reader.

Nope.

Best to have them on hand in case I ever feel like nibbling one of them open again. I'm honestly thinking of just buying the whole thing in a physical shape as well, because ... well, why not?

So lt's get with the program, as the vampires say, and sink our teeth into book number twelve: The King.

Tome Thursday: Blood Kiss

Hello everyone!

So I'm back to reading about vampires, which, really, shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Every once in a while, I'll stumble over some book or book series that will give me my needed bloodsucker dose, although admittedly not everyone does it with as much fanfare as JR Ward, I think.

If anyone has been keeping track of my blog (which I hope you have, but oh well, fingers crossed!), I've been a Ward fan since a very good friend of mine introduced me to the series.

Or, well, the story goes like this: she kept on talking about it, and I sort of kept it in the back of my mind, that I have to read these books, but at the time I didn't have my ereader yet, so it was a bit of a problem until I figured out I could convert the files to PDF, which could then be read on my poor phone (the thing might have died a thousand deaths over one book ... I am still chagrined over that) to my heart's content.

And I was hooked.

Not only are these vampires badass, six-foot-sixers, the lot of them, with black belts in martial arts and zero clue in social behaviour, but they're also sexy as hell.

No surprise to anyone, then, that when the spin-off series was announced, I squealed.

Tome Thursday: The Shadows

Hello everyone!

So, okay, I only just realized that I should probably include a SPOILER ALERT somewhere in the description of this blog, or at the beginning of each entry, but since this is kind of a review and recap place for me to express myself and talk about what I've seen or read, I figure that, generally speaking, that should be a given. It's not always the case though so I apologize if anyone has been 'spoiled' by certain facts I state in these posts, especially on just-released movies or books, but there you go, we all learn and are works in progress along the way, right?

Right.

Back to the actual blog post - yes, with spoilers ahead - I'm going to talk about The Shadows today. A little while ago I posted an entry about Lover Avenged, which was book seven in the Black Dagger Brotherhood book series. Well, end of March saw the release of the very latest installment (number thirteen!) and I think I pretty much dropped three other books I'm reading at the moment (yes, I always read multiple books) just so I could get my hands on this one.
