What are you Reading Monday? April 5, 2010

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

I got to visit a few blogs this week for this meme for the Top Ten meme and for Friday's Blog Hop meme.  Wish I had more time

My circumstances are pretty much the same as last week: lots of books to review; two interviews with Giveaways to prepare and at least three other Giveaways to post soon.  *Sigh*

Finished:



PB:  Death Mill Mansion - A Lighthearted Comehy by Will Hartzell-Baird. This was fun to read something so different and bizarre. Book provided by author.  Giveaway of three copies plus my copy for review coming up soon.

 Kindle2 -  Stopping Time Part 1 by Melissa Marr

I needed a quick read the other day so I read this

which was a free Kindle read.

It is really 3 or 4 chapters so next I will have to read Part 2.

An exciting e-story original sequel to INK EXCHANGE! Leslie walked away from the Dark Court, determined to reclaim her life and live it on her own terms-even if it meant leaving behind the two faeries who love her. She knows Niall and Irial watch over her, and she would give almost anything to keep them from hurting. But she resists the pull to be with either one of them. Someone knows about Leslie-s past, however, and is intent on using her to reach the fey. And he doesn't care who gets hurt.

PB: The Highest Stakes by Emery Lee.
I am 70% complete on this. A fine historical with lots of horse racing history! 
Review (with Giveaway of the ARC copy provided by Sourcebooks) to be posted around the first week of April.
The breathtaking origins of thoroughbred horse racing
A tale of drama, danger, thwarted love, and retribution set in the high stakes gentleman’s world of 18th century horse racing, where fortunes could be won… and lost…
She’s lonely and neglected, but she knows horses…
Charlotte Wallace is orphaned and alone until a sympathetic stable boy takes her under his wing and teaches her everything about thoroughbred racing. In the process, the two discover in each other a love destined to be thwarted at every turn…
If only he could, he’d take her away with him forever…
Robert Devington has tried everything to persuade Charlotte’s uncle to allow them to marry. Then an ill-fated friendship, a scandal in the making, and one desperate act of folly rob them of their love and his livelihood… Dead set on retribution, all Robert’s hopes are hanging on one small horse—his only chance to reclaim his land, his dignity, and his love, against all odds…

PB (and Audible):  The 8th Confession by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro.
I have this in print to read from Hachette but to speed things along I have just started to listen to it on Audible.

Someone is killing the richest people in the city—and it's the Women's Murder Club's scariest investigation ever.
APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING
At the party of the year, San Francisco's most glamorous millionaires mingle...while someone is watching—waiting for a chance to take vengeance on Isa and Ethan Bailey, the city's most celebrated couple. Finally, the killer pinpoints the ideal moment, and it's the perfect murder.
BUT THE TRUTH CAN BE DEADLY
While Detective Lindsay Boxer investigates the high-profile killings, someone else is found brutally executed—a preacher with a message of hope for the homeless. His death nearly falls through the cracks, but reporter Cindy Thomas hears about it and soon discovers the victim may not have been quite as saintly as everyone thought.
LET THE CONFESSIONS BEGIN
As the hunt for two criminals tests the limits of the Women's Murder Club, Lindsay sees sparks fly between Cindy and Lindsay's partner, Detective Rich Conklin. The Women's Murder Club now faces its toughest challenge: Will love destroy all that four friends have built? James Patterson serves up a double dose of speed-charged twists and shocking revelations.

Kindle2: King of Swords -A Dom for Christmas by Antonio Tiranth.

I am 40% along on this very fast paced, sexy read.

Lilyrose Munroe has always felt something was missing from her life and on Christmas, she finds that her old teenage crush, Sebastian Alexander, a Dominate is just the one to give it to her.
