I had a good week finishing some books and finishing some reviews that were due!
[Note re codes: YGR is You Gotta Read Reviews; CR is CataRomance Reviews, BTL is Between the Line/WRDF - these are the three sites where I read and review. There are links under Some Friends on the sidebar for each of these. MBS is this blog - Martha's BookShelf!]
Finished:
PB: Don't Look Down by David Laing Dawson. A very interesting mix of almost prose with a rough psychological reminiscence. A thriller about four murderers, 18 to 81, in a forensic psychiatric ward. Review to be posted soon on MBS for author through Bostwick.
Lucifer Rising by Barbara Fifield. First - I have to say that I found that the blurb last week was misleading. This was interesting but is really a drama story of a reporter caught in a relationship with an obsessive, womanizing and charismatic fellow. Review to be posted soon on MBS for author through Bostwick.
Kindle2: Call Me Kate, Meeting the Molly Maguires by Molly Roe. Very well done - review posted on MBS for Tribute Books.
Cotillion Christmas Spirits Anthology - this was Five regency romances. All five were good and the last one was especially wonderful! Review to be sent to CataRomance.
Not just a Christmas story: Three Minutes Before Christmas by Paige Ryter.
Can a Christmas miracle save their love? Check the clock because they've only got Three Minutes Before Christmas until the magic is lost. Review to be posted soon on MBS for the author.

I'm going to look for Cup of Joe, that sounds really appealing. I haven't read a Regency in a while, I should go back to those, it's been too long.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I haven't read a positive review about Lucifer Rising. What did you think?
ReplyDeleteHi Margie - I know I will enjoy Cup of Joe! It is not a Regency though it is contemporary inspirational.
ReplyDeleteHey J. Kaye - I'll be posting the review on Lucifer Rising by next week and I'm going to hold further comments till then.
