What are you Reading February 1, 2010

J. Kaye's Book Blog
I did a few more reviews this past week but I am still behind.  I may do no reading for a night or two and concentrate on reviews.

[Note re codes: YGR is You Gotta Read Reviews; CR is CataRomance Reviews, BTL is Between the Line/WRDF - these are the three review 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: Truly Madly by Heather Webber.  Lucy Valentine is as smart as can be, as single as you can get, and so not qualified to run a matchmaking service. But when her parents temporarily step down from the family business, Valentine, Inc., it’s Lucy’s turn to step up and help out—in the name of love.  This was really fun and I think I would rather read about Lucy than Stephanie Plum! Review to be done in next couple days for CR.


Kindle2:  An American Rose Christmas I did enjoy this; some stories more than others but overall very good!  Review to be sent to YGR.


Audible: --------------

Audio CD: --------------

Currently reading:

PB: The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer.  This is the first Heyer book I have read in years. A son and daughter of a Jacobite rebel flee to London masquerading as the opposite sexes!   I am enjoying the style and the fun story on this one! Reviewing for Sourcebooks with review to be posted here at MBS this week.

Next up: The Key by Pauline Baird Jones. See Audible below!)

Kindle2: None right now.


Audible: The Key by Pauline Baird Jones.  I have the print book but to speed this along I got the Audible to listen to!  A sci fi/romance combination I am looking forward to reading this!  Reviewing for the Author; review and giveaway to be posted at MBS.


Audio CD:  Absolute Power by David Baldacci.  This review Audio came in last week so I started it instead of the J.D. Robb books.  This was Baldacci's first book back in 1996.  It has started with an awesome preface and a real bang in the first disc!!  Fortunately I don't remember the movie in any detail so I think it will not effect the book which is bound to be better! :o)  Reviewing for Hachette; See Giveaway!

  6. I love all things Georgette Heyer! I pull one off the shelf when I need a comfort read. Reading her is like taking a master class in character development.
