I think I can safely say that Mageverse will have to wait. I’m hooked on LMB! Now ’scuse me while I go read some more of Shards of Honor…

I just finished reading “The Gargoyle” by Andrew Davidson, it’s his debut novel and, oh my god, can this guy write!

Peggy I’ve been waffling about this one! (and I read an excerpt). Good to see someone liked it!

I finished up the latest Carrie Vaughn book (Kitty and the Silver Bullet) and just loved it. I think it was the best yet.

And I read Lisa Gardner’s Say Goodbye–also a great read but a little preachy in places. Very sad and twisted book….contains graphic violence against children so if that bothers anyone, you might want to skip SG.

I’m also considering getting some Lois McMaster Bujold. I read The Mountains of Mourning from the Baen Free Library and liked it a lot.

Malin, if you go here there are links to free excerpts of some of Bujold’s later work to further whet your appetite (I hope).

(The reason the list is so long is that it’s summer and I have more time and money on my hands than I usually do. I’ll be tightening my belt soon.)(Plus, one store I’m ordering from has free mailing this August which makes what offerings they have the cheapest around - the usual rate is ridiculous so I’ve never ordered from them before. Now I’m going crazy ordering books that I’ve been thinking about for a while but haven’t bought because of price and priorities. And sorry, it’s a local store so it’s of no use to the rest of you.)

TBB:
Immortals After Dark (series) by Kresley Cole
(Have first 2 books, have ordered 2, gonna get rest soon. SB Sarah’s summer reads made me try the first one)
Mageverse (series) by Angela Knight
(Have a book & an anthology story, now I’m trying to decide if I want more and if so, do I want it now or can I wait? First introduced to me in Bite (anthology). Hawt!)
Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie (SB Sarah’s summer reads)
Delicious by Sherry Thomas (DA review)
Touch of Darkness by C.T. Adams & Cathy Clamp (Damn Tor freebies! The three I’ve read have already resulted in 3 books bought and 5 waiting to be bought)
In the Midnight Hour by Patti O’Shea (Tor freebie I want to hold. Already got In Twilight’s Shadow.)
I’m also considering getting some Lois McMaster Bujold. I read The Mountains of Mourning from the Baen Free Library and liked it a lot. (And the reason I got it at BFL was mentions here at DA and at SBTB)

Just got (in the past week):
Dark Light by Jayne Castle/Jayne Ann Krentz (gobbled it immediately)
Playing Easy to Get by S. Kenyon, J. Black & K. Cole (gobbled up right after DL)
Master of Wolves by Angela Knight (chomp chomp)
True Confessions by Rachel Gibson (TBR, bought on SB Sarah’s summer reading recommendation)
The Further Observations of Lady Whistledown by Julia Quinn et al. (TBR soon)
Strangers in Death by JD Robb (reading now, arrived today and mailman woke me up ringing doorbell)

Waiting for:
The Spymaster’s Lady by Joanna Bourne (DA & SBTB recommendations, got curious)
Almost Forever & Mackenzie’s Mountain by Linda Howard (missing some of her backlist, patching as I come across)
On Tall Pine Lake by Dorothy Garlock (autobuy for years, got distracted by new reads and forgot to check when book was out in pb)
Private Arrangements by Sherry Thomas (sounded intriguing, have to see if it’s a good as it sounds. I think it was a combination of DA, SBTB and Sherry’s blog that convinced me)
Touch of Evil by C.T. Adams & Cathy Clamp (Tor freebie that I want to hold in my hand - easier on the eyes than reading on my laptop. Also got Touch of Madness)

Looking at that list I’m thinking I should check my financial situation before I order more. (Or maybe I’ll order the essentials and then check my financial situation *g*)

Mireya, I just discovered her. I admit it, the title, DOWN & DIRTY caught my attention. LOl And I’m glad.
