Reading and Loving

Since the last two or so reviews I’ve done have kinda been stinkers for me, I had to regroup and prove to myself that I am indeed enjoying books ATM. And I realized, there is a whole lotta book lovin’ going on at any given moment in my daily routine. Right now, I’ve got two really damn fine books at hand at my work desk. At home, I left behind another on my nightstand. That’s three damn fine books I’m reading then (well four, no five…damn, just a LOT, ‘kay?). Woot! So up and coming in the book lovin’ we’ve got

All I can say is thaaaank yooooouuuuuuuuuuu, Wendy! I never realize quite how much I am craving this author’s books till I pick one up and crack it open. I think we’ve got another hit with this one. Fans of her Nightcreature series – you will want to check this one out.

Wowza. People told me this was good. I read reviews, I’d perused customer discussions on Amazon and had more word of mouth goodness after that. I am an incessantly nosy person when it comes to authors and books though, so I went and done did an interview with the author. And that night after the chat posted here, I started reading Vulnerable.

Wowza.

Major book pimpage here, folks. Major. Now, I hesitate to pimp in this manner, because mentioning Anita Blake seems to bring the hellhounds of the internet a-storming down your door, but if you like the original six-eight books in the Blake series, you may very well like Vulnerable. I dare say you will probably like it even more. Much more. It is definitely very different in a lot of ways from Blake, there is such a spellbinding emotional connection that I established almost right away with the characters. This is perhaps one of the best books I’ve ever read in regards to amazing character development. At the rate it’s going, it’s getting a full score of excellent and highly recommended.

I’m supposed to be reading Shades of Dark. I got it in plenty of time too, months ago. I went out and bought Gabriel’s Ghost though, even though I was assured Shades could read quite well on its own. I’d heard it through the grapevine that Ghost was somewhat excellent and had to give it a go first, but not till after I’d already started Shades and realized I was probably missing out on a lot from Ghost.

I’m SO glad I did! Sully, yep, yep. He is indeed as hot as I’ve heard. Maybe there’ll be a duel for his hand now? I know of a few peeps that think they have this silly claim on him. *whistles* I mean, really folks, he spoke to me, practically leaped out of the pages and…proclaimed his love for Chaz. *g* But back to the real goods, this book…it is wonderful and I’m looking forward to picking up where I left off with Shades, to continue their wonderful story.

So it really has been good reads here at Lurv and hopefully I’ll be bringing teh reviews soon. Till then, stay classy Blogosphere.
