Fire and Rain

By Elizabeth Lowell. This is the first in the Men of the Rocking M series, that she wrote in the early 90's. Basically a trashy romance, in the harlequin style (in fact, they were harlequins). Modern westerns, I have read them a couple times... I enjoy them every time..

Midnight in Ruby Bayou

The most recent in the Donovan series by Elizabeth Lowell, I refuse to believe it is the last of the series, as there are two siblings left!! I always enjoy this book!!

Point Blank

By Catherine Coulter.. I finally got my hands on it... I have been waiting for it for 6 months, since it was first published! I loved it, couldn't put it down... #10 in this series was as good as the beginning, and much better than #9. Don't get me wrong, Blowout was good.... Just not as gripping or engrossing as most of the rest of the series, or even most of Coulter's other works. I love the continuing story of Sherlock and Savich and all the people they deal with. Sometimes I can figure out the ending before it happens, but not often in this set. This is defiantly a series to reread often and get more and more out of!! I can barely wait till the next book in the series comes out... And it isn't even announced yet WHHHHAAA!!!!

Pearl Cove

Third in Elizabeth Lowell's Donovan series, very engrossing. The first one I read, I loved it so much that I hunted out the previous two and read them!! Very Entertaining!!

Jade Island

#2 in Elizabeth Lowell's Donovan Series... I always really enjoy it, and can't wait to move on to the next one!!

Amber Beach

I love this series by Elizabeth Lowell, it is the series that got me stuck on her. I reread them about once a year or so. The mystery mixed in with, and complicating the romance tells a good story... And the family connection makes it more interesting.. I am still waiting for the books on the last two brothers though... Wonder when she will do those???

Lord of Raven's Peak

Another entertaining novel, if not entirely engrossing, still, pretty good... Did finally link the first book with 2, 3, and 4, but it is a tenuous link, just mentioning a pair of characters from the first book. Not a bad romance series, I recommend it, but not one for someone who needs something more involving and in-depth.

Lord of Falcon Ridge

I managed to start reading the wrong book for the next in the series, and by the time I realized it I was already 1/4 done.... But that is ok... I do now see the connection in books 2, 3, and 4... Still don't see the connection with book 1, but maybe that will come with the reading of book 2... Which I will start shortly... Lord of Falcon Ridge was entertaining, but nothing outstanding.. It just didn't keep you from putting it down, like some of Catherine Coulter's other work (namely her FBI series...)

Lord of Hawkfell Island

Not bad, but not outstanding either... We shall see if the next two tie these together in any manner... So far they are just Viking novels.

Season of the Sun

First in Catherine Coulter's Viking series... Basically a Viking romance... Entertaining, but nothing deep. Still, it kept my interest long enough for me to finish it and start the second in the series...

Wolf Moon

A Nora Roberts short story from the book Blue Moon. Really totally different from her usual stuff, but still engrossing and entertaining. I really enjoyed it.. Will have to see if I can find anything similar... It was really kind more of a sci-fi/fantasy/romance, but luckily for me, I am into just about anything!! LOL .

Yet another one...

I got a few pages into Midnight Bayou, and realized I had read it before, and just wasn't' in the mood for a reread, so I moved on to Blue Smoke, I LOVED it. It was SO engrossing, I just couldn't put it down even at midnight last night!!! I did have this one all figured out, but that was ok.. It was still an entertaining story.

Carolina Moon

oooh... I just finished this one... It was really good... I thought I had it all figured out, and I am pretty good at this from all my reading!! But I was TOTALLY wrong!!! I really enjoyed it... Gonna catch up on my Nora Roberts novels... She comes out with them almost as fast as I can read them!!! I think Midnight Bayou is next... We shall see how good it is!! I have yet to find anything of hers that didn't at least entertain me, even if it wasn't just totally engrossing, it was pretty good...

Several new ones...

I finally got Nora Robert's Red Lily, and was able to finish off the Garden Trilogy, it was really good, and highly enjoyable. I also finished Kathleen Eagle's Night Falls Like Silk, it was a sequel to another of hers that I had really enjoyed. I also got Jude Deveraux's First Impressions and Carolina Isle, unfortunately, that is the order I read them in, not realizing that Carolina Isle takes place before First Impressions, not that it really makes a difference.. Only a couple of characters in common, and it really gives nothing away. I did really enjoy both of them, took me only a few hours to finish each. Now I just have to wait for more of my Wish List to become available!!
In the mean time I have read Johanna Lindsey's Ly-San-Ter series... It is one of my old favorites. Maybe I will pick up the Narnia series next... And hope it can grab my interest.

Artemis Fowl

I recently picked up and read all 4 of these, they were pretty good, Not quite up to Harry Potter, but still enjoyable. I really enjoyed Mercedes Lackey's Elemental Masters series, but am still looking for the latest The Wizard of London. I have also started the Narnia series, but am not very far into the first one yet. I am also reading Kathleen Eagle's Night Falls Like Silk. I am also waiting for Jude Deveraux's First Impressions to get here, and today I ordered Nora Roberts' Red Lily so as soon as they get here I will get those read. Some of these will get relisted, some will be put in my permanant collection to be read over and over.

life goes on...

I have finished the Freedom series, and been working on catching up on some miscellaneous reading of new stuff that I hadn't had the inclination or time to get into yet... I finally got around to reading Janet Evanovich's Eleven on Top, I really enjoyed it, and in the beginning, I felt as though she was leading to end the series, which was slightly depressing, but by the end, it was set up for yet another book (which I am impatiently awaiting!!) I also finally got my hands on Dean Koontz's Velocity, I really enjoyed it, and hope it doesn't take nearly as long to lay my hands on Forever Odd... I also read Elizabeth Lowell's Secret Sister, it was pretty good... And then I was bored again, so I picked up Julie Garwood's Lyon Series, and reread that, finished the last one this morning... Now I need to search for something engrossing to read again...hmmm... I have the Koontz's Frankenstein series, but really don't want to start it till I can read all 3, and since the 3rd isn't published yet... hmmm...

Busy Busy life

eeeks, since moving I have been BUSY, done lots of reading though. I managed to read a bunch of Nora Robert's I hadn't read yet, including the first two in the Garden Series, and all of the McKade series. I also got in Julie Garwood's Slow Burn, and Diana Gabaldon's A Breath of Snow and Ashes, I LOVED that one.. And was more than a little depressed that the series is now over.. I also read Elizabeth Lowell's Always Time to Die and Christopher Paolini's Eragon series (or at least those that are out so far) and I really enjoyed that, it reminded me very closely of a cross between Anne McCaffrey's Pern series and Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar Series. I am currently almost done with Anne McCaffrey's Freedom series, it is one of my faves too.

Paperback Swap

I have recently discovered Paperbackswap.com so far I really love it, it is a great way to thin your collection and get what you have been searching for, and you never have to leave home!! Check it out, there is a link in my sidebar!!

Dean Koontz

We have gotten moved!! Finially, and I have been reading some Dean Koontz recently, just finished Shadowfires and I have moved on to Eyes of Darkness but reading is going kinda slow while I try to get things unpacked!!!

Well....

I finished Fiery Cross.. And since the latest Gabaldon isn't out yet, I moved on to something else.. Just couldn't interest myself in going back to the pern series yet, so I grabbed Jurassic Park... It has been years since I read it, and it has been pretty grabbing so far... Maybe I will be able to find The Lost World by the time I am done with this one... hmmm.....
