What are you Reading Monday? April 19, 2010

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

I got to visit more new blogs this week for Friday's Blog Hop meme. That seems to work out easier for me at the end of the week.  I did get a couple of reviews done but felt I had a good week getting interviews ready to post and working on some editing for the publication business.

Here is how the reading went:

PB and Kindle2: White Wolf of Avalon: Werewolf Knight  

by Eva Gordon

I enjoyed this werewolf tale alot - well done.

Reviewing through CherryD Ning Book Blog group.

Ebook Description

Story of the secret society of lycans living in ancient Britain. Bledig, an orphan raised by a childless couple near the magical Isle of Avalon dreams of becoming a knight of the Round Table.

PB:  The Sun and the Moon (The Brian D. McClure Children's Book Collection)
I read this to my 6 year old Grandson who liked it.
We will read

Reviewing both for The Cadence Group.

Audible - Black Magic Sanction (Rachel Morgan, Book 8)
by Kim Harrison.

I really like this series,
even with the heartache. 
I thought I was done but didn't realize till I went to bed that there is a Part 3 so I am still listening to this!
I listened to this while I was working in the yard and cleaning house.

Rachel Morgan has fought and hunted vampires, werewolves, banshees, demons,and other supernatural dangers as both witch and bounty hunter--and lived to tell the tale. But she's never faced off against her own kind . . . until now. Denounced and shunned for dealing with demons and black magic, her best hope is life imprisonment--at worst, a forced lobotomy and genetic slavery.Only her enemies are strong enough to help her win her freedom, but trust comes hard when it hinges on the unscrupulous tycoon Trent Kalamack, the demon Algaliarept, and an ex-boyfriend turned thief.

Her quiet world is shattered when she meets the impulsive and scandalous Jared Amesbury. His roguish charm awakens her yearning for freedom and adventure.
