The year is almost over! It has been a difficult one for me physically, but a great one for reading. I posted my Favorites of 2012 and will be posting a yearly wrap-up tomorrow. Thank you Shelia for hosting this wonderful weekly event. It helps me tremendously in keeping track of what I've read and my thoughts as well as adding considerably to my TBR mountain. Happy New Year!
Thoughts on the Books I Read Last Week:
Blue's family is clairvoyant. Blue's gift is she adds energy/power to whatever her family engages in. She has been told all her life she will kill her true love if she kisses him. It becomes a problem when she gets involved with some boys from the local private school after she "sees" something for the first time. An engaging beginning to a new series that is best savored. I look forward to the next installment.
NYPD Red is a task force dedicated to protect powerful A-list citizens. Detective Zach Jordan's new partner is his ex-girlfriend Kylie MacDonald. As soon as she gets this new assignment a murder takes place and they are off chasing a killer targeting entertainment moguls. Signature fast-paced with short chapters. I like these two characters and hope there are more books featuring them.
Re-reading by listening to this series. I love returning to the beginning of Eve and Roarke, and meeting all these beloved characters again. Susan Erickson does a fantastic job narrating.
This YA historical is told in the voice of Kitty Tylney, Cat's best friend. They are young girls at the home of the Dowager Duchess of Norfolk. Cat is Catherine Howard who catches the eye of King Henry the VIII. Soon Kitty joins Cat at Court where she is pulled into the intrigue, gossip, betrayal and longs to be free of it all. A very good debut even knowing the eventual outcome.Up Next:
Fifteen Digits by Nick Santora
The Tutor's Daughter by Julie Klassen
Listening to:
The Twelve by Justin Cronin (Scott Brick)
Iced by Karen Marie Moning (Natalie Ross and Phil Gigante)
The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Steadman (Noah Taylor)
What are you looking forward to reading in 2013?
