We still haven't had snow and I feel a bit disappointed about it. How about you?
Here is what I've READ this week:
A VAMPIRE CHRISTMAS was a short and sweet Christmas story. I've also really enjoyed THE SPECIALISTS: MODEL SPY- such a silly, funny book, spies and weird imagined countries and lots of gadgets and bad bad accents... Very much recommended. THE DUCHESS WAR brought tears to my eyes it was so good, but Courtney Milan does that to me a lot. She is an amazing writer. Beautiful book. WAKING UP MARRIED is a nice story but way too fluffy to take it seriously. However it brought a smile to my face and that's what matters, right? COVET can be summarized in one sentence - all sex and no plot. I still need some sort of plot and character development, peeps, otherwise I catch myself skipping sex scenes to find out a little bit more about the characters. This is not a good author for me. BEYOND SHAME *phew* was incredibly sexy. I got to the end of the book and to my profound surprise found out that this is the same couple who writes Moira Rogers novels. And I don't even like Moira Rogers! However, as Kit Rocha they totally hit the spot for me. More in the review... At last, A BLOOD SEDUCTION just pissed me off. It was shallow, had no character consistency and left me cold.
FOR REVIEW
BOUGHT
FREEBIES
I don't really download random freebies but these are all the authors I really wanted to try and now I can without hurting my purse ;)
GIVEAWAYS
I hope you've been following Christmas With Feature on this blog. So far we are giving away Elizabeth Hunter, Carolyn Crane and Suzanne McLeod's books, but there'll be four more authors next week! End of the World Giveaway Hop is still going too.
I agree with Mel, those freebies can break your neck ... errr, bookshelves! Going through the list of all my unread books recently, I "purged" tons of freebies I hoarded back in 2011 and which I (mostly) got because they were free and not because I was so super excited about them. It's bad, really! Now I rarely get freebies and if I do then only because I really REALLY want to read the book.
You are definitely right, Mel and Birgit. I used to download random freebies but ended up with a pile of books of questionable quality I don't really want to read or dnf almost straight away. Now it's only the authors I know, books recommended to me or on my wishlist, and I enjoy most of them. There is not a single random book on my computer LOL
Blodeuedd, nooo! You should ask for a new one! It's still free :)
A Blood Seduction looks great but it's more PNR than UF and I'm afraid I won't like it. Hopefully that won't be the case. I hope you'll enjoy Daughter of Smoke and Bone, I just bought the second book and I'm very excited about it. Happy reading.
Great haul this week, glad you enjoyed Model Spy. I am in two minds wether to read Waking Up Married, its not my ususal type of read. Enjoy all your reads and thanks for stopping by
I try and be careful with freebies as well - I have over 80 books on my kindle and I don't want to add any more than necessary! :-)

ReplyDeleteI wanted the cooper book but I am so lazy and did not look for my password

I confess I didn't read a blood seduction with all the mixed review I saw. Now I'm anxious to read yours as well. Happy reading!
