What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.
I know it is rather surprising I missed my Sunday post yesterday and am very late with this one today. I was en route home from 11:15am Pacific to 11:15pm Central yesterday. From Wednesday to Sunday morning I was in Vancouver having a wonderful visit with other publishers, editors and authors at EPICon 2013. We were in workshops or meetings (or eating) from 7am to 6pm each day. Then I did some more meetings (I am Treasurer of the group) and socializing in the eves. So I had very limited reading and blogging time.
I only got to read on the plane trips so I only finished ONE book but am close to complete on the Audio and midway on another. I posted three reviews, on with Giveaway. There are also two special giveaways from Hachette. I posted the Friday Pick Giveaway, Saturday Snapshot, Sharing Beyond Books Comment Giveaway but not Sunday Words.
I had hoped to use airport time to visit but that didn't happen either. My layovers were about an hour so I had to rush from one to the other.
Thanks as always to all the nice people who visit me.

Book Description
Publication Date: March 26, 2013
After a painful divorce, Savannah White wants nothing more than to find her happy place. So when she gets the chance to pack up her life -and her son - and move to the idyllic town where she spent childhood summers, she jumps at the opportunity. Last Chance is just as charming as she remembered. She's even invited to join the local book club, where talk soon turns to Savannah's plan to bring the ramshackle downtown movie theater back to life. A new challenge is just what Savannah needs to move forward.. . .
Dash Randall wants to put his fortune to good use, but he remembers Savannah as the bratty "princess" who descended upon him each June, causing no end of trouble. But the teenager he remembered has grown into a gorgeous and generous woman, and it isn't long before Dash finds himself wanting to make brand new memories with Savannah. But first, Dash and Savannah will need to make peace with their pasts to find a new chance for love.

The Persnickety Princess
by Falcon Storm
I am reading this for review on 3/23 as
part of Novel Publicity Book Tour.
High up in the tallest tower of the purplest castle in the Kingdom by the Sea, Princess
Lavender awaits rescue. Desperate as she may be, only the most dashing, well-dressed, properly mannered prince will do. Oh, and he must stand exactly four and three-quarters inches taller than her. A princess has got to have standards, after all.
When, finally, one such prince comes to her castle–not to rescue her, but her younger sister–Lavender refuses to be ignored. Instead of waiting for the next suitor to come along, she devises a plan to put herself in danger, thus forcing the upstart prince to forget her sister and rescue her instead.
Well accustomed to getting her way, there is only one thing, unfortunately, that this princess can’t control–her luck. When her plans go awry, putting her in very real danger, will she allow the prince to rescue her as he sees fit? Will he even want to try?
And will anyone be able to find a way to rescue Lavender from her persnickety ways once and for all? Find out in this comedic tale of princes, dragons, and dreams that just may come true.
