New Books to Read

You would think I wouldn’t need any new books to read. I have at least 40 books in my TBR pile that I should pick up and read, I’m constantly getting library book notices from items I have on hold, and yet all these new fabulous books are coming out on a MONTHLY BASIS that I MUST HAVE. Eek!

I’m attempting to be good and simply put them on my list though. Yesterday I walked through Barnes & Noble looking for Kristan Higgin’s latest. She is an amazing writer and I NEEDED TO HAVE IT. Yet, they didn’t have it anywhere. Which was so annoying.  I love Borders more than B&N but I have a gift certificate to B&N that I needed to use. Borders at least makes an effort to get new releases out on their shelves the day of release. B&N doesn’t even bother. I’ve gone to 2 or 3 stores before on release day and they won’t have them in until DAYS after. Madness!

What I did pass by was The Red Queen, the new Phillipa Gregory novel (The Boleyn Girl). Love her. Gregory writes simply amazing historical novels. Scarlet Nights which is a Jude Deveraux Edilean novel but while I adore Deveraux, I don’t really like her newest stuff as much as her older books. I passed by Waterbound by Christine Feehan (new series that goes along with the 7 Drake Sisters), Kiss Me If You Can by Carly Phillips (new series by Carly, adore her!), 3 Nights with a Scoundrel by Tessa Dare (the last of her trilogy which was SO GOOD!), Summer Brides which is a novella of some awesome authors.

There were at least 3 or 5 other ones that were authors I’ve read and enjoyed before. The ones up above? Those are authors that I LOVE. I have most all of their books and I WANT WANT WANT.  Yet, I held back.

I did end up picking Suzanne Brockman’s re-release of Infamous since I had not read it yet and Eloisa James’s Kiss of Midnight because these guys are in my treasured bookshelf. Yet I then glimpsed the line which was at least 10+ people long. So I put them back.

I am looking forward to Mockingjay by Susanne Collins. It’s the end of her trilogy and if you haven’t read Hunger Games… you are missing out. It’s young adult but it ROCKS.

Also coming out is another Fool’s Gold novel by Susan Mallery and I just finished up her first two which were great! I see that Midnight Crystal by Jayne Castle, Love Me If You Dare which is Carly Phillips 2nd in her newest installment (but I would have to buy the first one, eek!), Just One Taste by Louise Edwards who is hysterically funny, the Firebrand by Susan Wiggs (great author), and tons more.

See my problem? Plus the fact that I am lately only reading one or two books a WEEK instead of seven or eight…. Means that I will probably have tons of books for my Christmas list! ha!

We are off to have tons of fun today with the family. Enjoy your weekend!
