What Jane Has Been Reading, Week of August 29

What Jane Has Been Reading, Week of August 29

Like my previous post, this is actually a retrospective list of what I had read the past couple of weeks: Mistress Bride by Michelle Reid – A discussion of Reid’s books prompted me to pull out this favorite of mine.  I really like how Reid uses societal constraints to keep the protags apart.

The problem with finishing a long, intense read is that it’s hard for me to bounce back and dive into other books. The number of books I tossed aside this past week was alarmingly high. But these are the ones I stuck with and finished. Heist Society by Ally Carter. I’m a big fan of(…)

My entries for this feature might end up being sporadic as I often don’t know what I’m going to read next until I eye my TBR print stacks or flip through my menu screens on my ereader. I’m just as spontaneous in my movie watching, too. And once I start a book, the odds are(…)

What Jaclyn is Reading, Week of August 8

I may be the slowest writer and least frequent reviewer of the DA crew, but I surely do read a lot. I have this funny (at least it’s funny to my husband) habit of buying more than one ebook at a time. If I’m going to go to the effort to surf the bookstore and(…)
