Dec 4: “The Down
Home Zombie Blues” by Linnea Sinclair, a sci-fi romance. Blurb from Goodreads: A dangerously sexy
space commander and an irresistibly earthy Florida police detective pair up to save the
civilized galaxy . . . but can they save themselves from each other? Bahia Vista homicide detective Theo Petrakos thought he’d seen
it all. Then a mummified corpse and a room full of futuristic hardware sends
Guardian Force commander Jorie Mikkalah into his life. Before the night’s
through, he’s become her unofficial partner—and official prisoner—in a race to
save the earth. And that’s only the start of his troubles. Jorie’s mission is
to stop a deadly infestation of biomechanical organisms from using Earth as its
breeding ground. If she succeeds, she could save a world and win a captaincy.
But she’ll need Theo’s help, even if their unlikely partnership does threaten
to set off an intergalactic incident. Because if she fails, she’ll lose not
just a planet and a promotion, but a man who’s become far more important to her
than she cares to admit. I got this book free from the RT
Convention. They gave away a flash drive containing something like 300 books
and this was one of several that interested me, mainly because I enjoyed
Sinclair’s Dock Five Universe series. Well, this book is way better. Don’t let
the “zombie” name fool you (like it did me). They’re called zombies, but are
actually alien creatures. Lots of action in this book. Good romance, too. And
it’s set during Christmas (couldn’t have planned THAT any better!). I’m not a
huge sci-fi reader, but could come to love the genre with books like this.

Dec 9: “Reckless”
by Jessi Gage, a paranormal romance. Blurb from Goodreads: Divorced construction worker Derek has anger
management issues. Acting rashly on the freeway, he causes an accident. His
truck escapes unscathed, but he can’t say the same for his conscience. Visions
of the wreck haunt his dreams, but they’re always followed by the sweet
caresses and soothing words of a beautiful woman who calls to everything male
in him. Cami assumes she is dead. With no memory of her past, all she knows is
endless fog and the occasional visit to a darkened bedroom where she comforts a
man battling nightmares. When she wakes in a hospital bed and regains her memory,
she assumes the ruggedly-handsome Derek was no more than a figment of her
concussed mind. As Cami recovers, she learns that Derek is not only real but
also the driver charged with causing her accident. She should be furious with
him, but their inexplicable nights together showed her a tender side beneath
his rough exterior. Will she let one reckless mistake drive them apart, or will
forgiveness have the right of way? A different kind of paranormal
romance (okay, maybe supernatural, then?) and I enjoyed it very much. Nothing
better than reading a book that captures your attention. Unless, you have work
to do. Hmmm… Oh well. **shrugs**
So… Do you like reading holiday stories during the holidays?
Or does it even matter to you? It doesn’t matter so much to me, but it’s nice
when I do. Kind of puts me in the spirit, I guess.
Happy Reading !

I rarely read hooliday-themed stories. Just not my thing, I guess. Have a great week!
I enjoy reading Halloween stories at Halloween and Christmas, at Christmas. And even winter ones, during winter.
Happy Reading.
Jeff - I'm thinking holiday-themed stories are more of a romance-thing! :)
Ivy - It's nice reading a book during the season the book is set in. I've tried WRITING a book in the season the book is set in, but I tend to drift across several seasons before I type "THE END." Haha! :)
I always enjoy Linnea Sinclair.
Sometimes it's nice to read holiday stories during the holidays but I enjoy them anytime.
Linda - Yep, that's about how I feel about holiday stories, too. I can read them anytime.
I like drinking spiked eggnog after the kids have gone to bed.
