What are you Reading Monday? March 15, 2010

I feel badly that I didn't get to reply to any comments last week nor get to visit many other blogs.  I hope my commenting friends accept my apologies and understand my being a bit swamped with three businesses now plus two blogs!  I hope I will do better this week.

This meme starts at One Person's Journey Through A World of Books!

I had some erratas to do and a bit of editing so I didn't get to do as many reviews as I wanted. Another four reviews written only keeps me even and not getting ahead.

[Note re codes: MBS is this blog - Martha's BookShelf!]

Finished:

PB: Once Upon a Nightmare by Lee Moylan.  This is a dark horror.  Good writing but not my favorite type of read.
Reading from my won TBR books! Review to be posted here at MBS.

On the night of October thirteenth, the Hunter's Moon descended upon the quiet town of White Chapel. As Sara Bishop drifted off to sleep under its soft illumination, the full moon seemed to have brought with it something far more sinister than a warm glow. At once, the nightmare started. But this wasn't any ordinary nightmare… This one seemed real ─ as if she could smell it, feel it, taste it.... 
....Will Sara Bishop have to experience death itself to stop this killer? Or will her nightmare never end?

Kindle2:

Sarah's Story by Delilah K. Stephans, Time Displacement Corps Book 1.
This was from my own TBR. I really enjoyed this and would like to read the next in the series.   This came from the author and review will be posted here at MBS.

Sarah Beauchamp has made a life for herself in the past having given up on returning to the present. She only has one question – What had happened?
Captain Matthew Barrington is determined to find the longest missing agent – Sarah. She was lost when the Time Displacement Unit exploded.
The Time Displacement Corps greatest fear is causing a Paradox. But when an agent has been missing for ten years, can they avoid it?

Kindle2:

The Little Known by Janice Daugharty. This wasn't my normal type of read either. A well written coming of age story of a poor black boy.

A good-hearted boy.
A segregated town.
A stolen fortune.
a coming-of-age story full of hope and forgiveness

Book supplied for review from Bell Bridge Books; review to be posted here at MBS.

Audio CD:

Audio CD:  Absolute Power by David Baldacci.  This was Baldacci's first book back in 1996 - Political thriller.  Reviewing for Hachette - to be posted here at MBS. 

I finally finished and then Saturday night watched the movie.  The movie was okay but the book was definitely MUCH better!

Currently reading:

PB:  An Earl to Enchant by Amelia Grey.  I am very glad to get back to a nice historical.  The heroine is a fun character and this is reading very quickly already at 60%.

He’s determined not to be a hero…
Lord Morgandale is as notorious as he is dashing, and he’s determined no woman will tie him down. But from the moment Arianna Sweet appears on his doorstep, he cannot resist the lure of her fascinating personality, exotic wardrobe, and tempting green eyes…
She has a deadly secret…
Arianna Sweet never imagined the significance of her father’s research until after his untimely death. Now she is in possession of his groundbreaking discovery, one that someone would kill for. She can’t tell Lord Morgandale her secret, but she knows she needs his help, desperately…

Kindle2:  Black Velvet by Delilah Stephans and Antonio Tiranth.  This looks like a sexy paranormal read.  This is from my own TBR.

Always in battle, always alone... A prophecy that cannot be denied.
Determined to avoid a forced marriage, Amara hops a plane to find and recruit Jett, the only man her fellow shifters believe can save them.
Jett cares little for Amara's cause, and an ancient prophecy has told him he must always fight alone. But when the plucky lass shows up in his life and refuses to leave, the last thing he expects is the turbulent emotions her presences brings.
When she's not busy hating him, Amara kind of likes Jett, and Jett can't deny that he's falling for her. But when love ignites between them, can they deny their destiny?

Audio CD and Hachette Giveaway to be posted:  Marriage and Other Acts of Charity by Kate Braestrup.  Some of the language is a bit esoteric but I am enjoying this. 





I'm not listing any other upcoming books for this week - AGAIN.  This week I am planning to make time to write reviews!
