Sometimes, Life Gets Away From Ya

So, I have been reading some really good literature lately. Bloodlines is the first book of a spin off of the Vampire Academies Series. It is good. It has characters from the VA Series that the readers care about and want to know what happens to them. Great read!
A new author for me on this and the next book. I fell upon these when Amazon recommended them for me. I loved them. They were some of my favorite books so far! I am shocked they are not on the Best Seller Lists! The first book has lots of suspense, and the second book has more romance. Loved them both!
The second book of the Birth Marked Trilogy. Love this book even more than the first. The characters are strong, determined, and live during a time that you would need much conviction to life and your purpose here.
Love Cassandra Clare. Everything she writes is worthy of my time. I stumbled upon this new release at Barnes and Noble. It was a complete surprise it came out, and I was so excited to see it! Best surprise ever!
I found this book on the bookshelves in a small, Boulder, Colorado bookstore. It was used, but had great reviews from the staff at the bookstore. So, I decided it was worth checking into. The plot is a little slow, but suspenseful enough that it keeps the pages turning. I feel like the author finally gets into rhythm by the end of the book, but it is a Best Seller.
The second book with the Crossed Trilogy. Saw this one online, and purchased it right away. Since the first book left me hanging, I had to find out what happens to the characters. I liked this one more, right away. It picks up speed, has more action and romance, and keeps you guessing, all the way to the end. Then, leaves you hanging again. Guess I will be picking up the next one in this series too.
So, these are some of the books that have been occupying my time. I just found out Denise Hunter released a new book, The Accidental Bride, and I am super excited for that one too. I actually ordered it tonight and am having it shipped one day, so it will be here Thursday! Yea! I am excited. Well, if you have some time on your hands, or just want to curl up during these winter months, here are a few good reads that you can share with your hot cocoa and blanket by the fire. Enjoy!
