Books, books, books …

• Posted in About Books, On Writing

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and got lots of goodies! :bub:

As for me, this will probably be remembered as the year of the sweater. I got six sweaters, but I really needed some new ones, so it was all good. I also got tons of books this year. All right, not tons — ten shiny new books to be exact. Here’s what Santa brought me:

Cold as Ice, Ice Blue, and Ice Storm, all by Anne Stuart (books 2, 3, and 4 in her romantic suspense series)

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan (first young adult novel in a series featuring Greek mythology)

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer (the young adult vampire novel everyone is raving about)

The Jugger and The Seventh, both by Richard Stark (hard-boiled crime capers in the Parker series)

A Fistful of Charms by Kim Harrison (book 4 in the Rachel Morgan urban fantasy series)

Don’t Look Down by Suzanne Enoch (book 2 in her contemporary romance series)

Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward (book 5 in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series)

I’ve already started reading Cold as Ice and am really enjoying it. Which brings to mind a funny conversation my significant other and I had last night.

He was telling me how he’d started playing this video game I bought him, looked at the backs of his books, and already opened up his new model kits (he builds model tanks). I told him to slow down or he wouldn’t have anything left to look at by the end of the week. Then, he asked me what page I was on in Cold as Ice. The answer: 92 (and I’d only been reading an hour). So, I guess we’re both guilty of tearing into our presents. 🙄

What about you? What did Santa bring you for Christmas? What new books are you eager to read?

    Hi, Rachael. Gift cards are cool, especially if you can use them on books. I basically sent people Amazon links and said “Buy me this book.” That way, I was sure of getting what I wanted. 😎

    Can I just say it’s about time you got Twilight 🙂 Let me know what you think about it when you’re done.

    I know, I know. Everyone else has read Twilight except for me. (And did you hear they’re going to make a movie out of it?) On the bright side, if I really like it, I don’t have to wait for the other two books to come out! 😎

    Don’t worry. After I read it, I’ll post a review here on the blog.

    I heard they are planning to make a movie out of it, but I haven’t heard anything else about it (if they have started, etc. I’m a bit behind on my news.)

    I can’t wait until you finally read it. Then we can talk all about it 😀

    I think I saw something on TVGuide.com about casting news for the movie, but I can’t remember exactly what it was now.

    All right, all right. I’ll try to start it this week. 😉
