It's tentacles are all over the house! <br /><br />I just started Madeline Hunter's Dangerous in Diamonds. I have SO loved this series and I will be sad to finish this book.<br /><br />Next in line is an oldie, but one I managed to miss Cathy Maxwell's Falling in Love Again.<br /><br />I just finished Ann Lethbridge's The Gamekeeper's Lady and if you have not read this book GO! GO NOW! and buy it. It sucked me in from the first page and is a truly splendid read. LOVED IT!<br /><br />Before that it was Meredith Duran's Wicked Becomes You and Mary Jo Putney's The Bargain. Two diametrically different books, but both great reads. <br /><br />I have Kathleen Eagle's In Care of Sam Beaudry on my stack followed by Kate Walker's The Proud Wife. <br /><br />So many books and not NEARLY enough time!Louisa Cornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971924594129471055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-87200487664159387082011-04-28T23:19:48.145-04:002011-04-28T23:19:48.145-04:00Danielle!

Suz, I try not to ...Helen, have fun with the bird!<br /><br />Suz, I try not to think about the TBR pile, which spreads like kudzu, unless I'm pulling something off it. Or off one of its extensions. I must say the TBR screen on the iPad is far less intimidating AND is unable to take over my house!<br /><br />Anyway, on the topic at hand--I just discovered Dana Stabenow, an Alaska native and Edgar winner who writes two mystery series set in Alaska. I just finished the fourth and most recent in the Liam Campbell series, Better To Rest. The setting, the sense of otherness, is intriguing, and there is a strong romantic arc.<br /><br />Just FYI, I apologize for any typos. I'm on the iPad, which doesn't allow scrolling within the message screen.<br /><br />I also read Shady Lady, the third in RITA nominee Ann Aguirre's Corine Solomon fantasy series. Corine can touch an object and learn its history, a talent that brings her all kinds of trouble.<br /><br />Before that was Patricia Rice's quirky political mystery, Evil Genius.<br /><br />Before that was Chasing Fire, Nora Roberts' fabulous smokejumper adventure.<br /><br />I started A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, which so far (4 chapters in) appears to involve witches, vampires, a magical manuscript and an ancient mystery (I assume the mystery because of the manuscript.)<br /><br />Next up are Lord of the Fading Lands by C. L. Wilson, which has been on my must-read-someday list and is moving off it at last, and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom, the tale of Jack Sparrow's early career. The author, A. C. Crispin, will join us on 5/18 to chat about it, and so I have an ARC (yo-HO! *g*).Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705259501965011703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-33503686556810556622011-04-28T18:12:36.002-04:002011-04-28T18:12:36.002-04:00@Suzanne, I haven't even touched my Kindle TBR...@Suzanne, I haven't even touched my Kindle TBR pile yet.

I don't even quite know where to start. Well, I've been reading More Headlines by Jay Leno and laughing myself silly. But after I've read that, I think I'll read Deep Blue by Suzanne McMinn (thank heavens for BookMooch, otherwise I'd never get those out of print books). She doesn't write romance books anymore, but she has wonderful blog. Although she might write a book full of recipes and other stuff she writes on her blog. Then I have out of Body by Stella Cameron and Salvation in Death by J.D.
