   What a boat load of choices! I read Like No Other a year or two ago; it’s a lovely story.

   Luminous sounds intriguing! Thanks for hosting the giveaway.

   Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor. I’ve enjoyed the other books I’ve read by her. Interested to see where this one leads. Thanks for the giveaway.

   What was that Bruce Springsteen song? 57 Channels and Nothing On? Sometimes I feel like that when I look at the new release list.

    You had me at “the heroine is in her 60s” ~ Luminous has just become a must read for me. If I don’t win it, I’ll get it anyway! Thanks for the giveaway :)

    I bought TIGERS ON THE RUN the day it released and am enjoying it (I’m about halfway through). I don’t think it would work as well if you haven’t read one or both of the previous books, but it’s great to revisit Simon and Declan and the gang. There are new characters as well, and perhaps (?) the rehabilitation of an old foe. Or at least new perspectives on him.

    @Sunita: Yay! I was going to ask if anyone had read Tigers on the Run yet. I loved the first book and liked, but didn’t love, the second, and I’m still up in the air about getting book 3.

    @cleo: The first book is one of my favorite romances ever. I had the same reaction to Book 2 as you, although given my feelings about Book 1, maybe it was inevitable. So far I like Book 3 better than Book 2, that is, I like the storylines and the new character. And it’s so nice to read a gay romance that is about a strong, ongoing relationship; mostly I find them in mysteries rather than contemporary romance.

    @Sunita: That’s promising that you like book #3 better than #2. Sequels are so tricky – I always think I want to read more about favorite characters, but sometimes it’s hard for a sequel to live up to my expectations.

    The Tigers and Devils series is also tricky for me because of Simon’s voice – I loved his snarky, playful, self-deprecating voice in the first book, but in the second one I was ready for him to grow up already. Which may say more about me and my moods reading the two books than anything else.

    King of Hearts by L.H. Cosway. So excited! I love her books and highly recommend this series.

    @cleo: I think there is less of that than in Book #2, although Simon’s snark and resistance to adulthood is still there.

    I think The Inventor’s Secret by Andrea Cremer sounds good and I’ve been looking forward to its release.
