What are you reading?

Time for that wonderful weekly update! LOL

In paper, I finished Vickie Taylor's Carved in Stone this weekend and it was quite good. I like that hers is a very different premise for a paranormal romance. Never before reading this would I have thought of a gargoyle as a sexy hero. LOL I'm looking forward to Book 2 in the series.

Also in paper, I started Madeline Hunter's Lord of Sin this weekend. So far so good. She always writes a good historical and I love how she's worked her career as an art instructor into this story. Not exactly the type of artwork you'd expect a professor to cover, but it is definitely obvious she's knowledgeable about her chosen subject. Which made me think, this isn't the first one of her books she managed to work art in to somehow.

In audio, I finished up book 2 in the Left Behind series: Tribulation Force by Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye. It's getting interesting for this series which I finally decided I had to try out after hearing so much about it over the past few years. I also picked up Book 3 from the library: Nicolae and started that one. These are my work "reads." I pop one earphone into my ear and can listen while I work and still hear the phone ring or someone at the door.

In the car, also in audio, I'm on Tape 12 out of 14 for Dawn on a Distant Shore by Sara Donati, the second book in her Wilderness series. To be honest, I'm bored with this story. It's dragging on and on and on. A good half the book at least was spent on ships from Canada to Scotland, after pages and pages of a cross-land journey to Canada from NY. I usually like books that are adventures and travels, but this one is ALL traveling and I'm getting tired of it actually. Now the part of the story that has been talked about and alluded to all the way through the book is being crammed in to the last couple tapes of the book. I'd have preferred less time spent on the journey itself and more time spent on what happens in Scotland once they get there. It WAS kinda neat though to see a brief "visit" with Robert Burns, the poet. This was cool because I'm very distantly related to him, separated by I don't know how many generations, but still related. So it is neat to see an ancestor in a fictional novel.

In electronic, I read and finished the final 2 stories in Janet Lane Walters' All Our Yesterdays serial romance/time-travel/reincarnation. The series was interesting, but the final two weren't as good as the previous ones, IMO. I didn't feel a lot of passion in the characters in the past life part of the stories. It felt somewhat stilted, though the romance in the present life incarnation was still strong and I could feel emotion from them.

In eBook format, I am presently Angela Verdenius' Soul of a Witch, the latest in her Heart and Soul series which I got for review. I haven't gotten too far in it yet, but so far so good.
