What I’m reading
I don’t write 24-7, although my family sometimes thinks I do. I have much the same household duties as you all do, as well as horse, dog, cat and now rabbit care. (More on the rabbit soon! Cool story.) I also am working hard on my fitness and have regained much of what I lost to years of long term illness (that’s boring, I won’t waste your time) When I kick back to relax now, though? I love to read other authors who write the same kind of thing I write. (OK so I occasionally throw in a rom-com, because they’re fun now and then!) I don’t tend to buy a lot of books (my bad!) but when I find authors I simply cannot get enough of? I buy the books, because once through from the library simply isn’t enough. My favs? Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles. Dang, the things that guy Atticus can do! … Tracy Deonn’s the Legendborn Cycle. I love her heroine Bree and her strong Black girl vibe as she utterly trashes the white, entitled patriarchy (I’m white, btw) I have the final book Oathbound on pre-order (that’s a first) and if Tracy doesn’t eventually link Bree up with Selwyn, I shall be utterly heartbroken. … Lauren Roberts’ Powerless Trilogy. Wow. These have me reading well past my bedtime, until my husband starts getting grouchy about the reading light still being on. Even then, I try to get in a few more pages. Yet another third book in a trilogy that I have on pre-order! I am a fan and then some. Kai and Paedyn have some serious chemistry going on. Can’t wait for that book to finally land! … Alyson Noel’s Entangled Teens series. She sure knows how to add plot twists you just were not expecting! … Absolutely adored Ally Carter’s The Blond Identity. What a fun book with a fun title word play on the Bourne Identity books (which I don’t like. Sorry) … I have all of Jodie Taylor’s Time Police and the Chronicles of St. Mary’s (don’t call it time travel) books. … All of Robin Hobb’s Assassin books. Wow, that lady really knows how to mess up her heroes … Ouch. … I’m sure there are others I’ve forgotten to mention, but for now, if you are looking for what I wholeheartedly recommend? These should keep you busy for at least a year. Enjoy!
