Second, I entered the cover to Bite Me, I’m Yours in the Judge a Book
by Its Cover contest (paranormal category). Readers (that would be YOU) can
vote in a separate judging. If you want to check out all the covers, click HERE.
And sure, I’d love it if you voted for mine, but I won’t go so far to ask,
especially if you find a cover you like better (that’s the risk I take for
sending you to that site, right?).
And finally, we’re down to what I read in the
last week. I’m playing it safe and not even posting WHAT book I read (thus my
previous Wednesday Reads was edited), so I’m only mentioning the type (and
length). I will say that I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read so far (which is a
relief). Here’s what I read:
Jan 28: A historical romance at
361 pages long.
Jan 29: A historical romance
novella at 130 pages long.
Jan 30: A romantic comedy novella
at 205 pages long (print was large)
Jan 31: An erotic (M/M) romance
novella at 164 pages long.
Feb 2: An erotic (ménage)
romance at 243 pages long.
Five books in a week. Not too shabby, huh? Two
more books and then I’m done.
I have to say, I’ve ordered a couple of books
since I’ve received this shipment to judge and I can’t wait to get into them.
Of course, I’ve owned a lot of books before I purchased those, too. I tell you,
deciding what to read NEXT is always the hardest. Well, except when you judge.
Then the decision is taken away. So glad I’m enjoying the books, though. That
is a plus.
So… how do you
decide which book to read next? In order of purchase or whatever strikes your
fancy? I’ve been known to do both.
Happy Reading
Stacy

Eleven hundred pages in a week--not too shabby, Stacy.
At this point, my "What to read next" usually comes from something I've heard about from somewhere that has sounded interesting.
Jeff - 1100 pages or one Stephen King book, right? Hahaha! :)
Just voted for YOU!
Thanks, Ivy!! Glad to see your rash cleared up on your picture. :)
I have a lot of unread books still left on my shelf (well, in storage right now) and am constantly adding to my TBR list. Too many to choose from *sighs*
Donna - I think I will always have unread books on my shelf. Mainly because I can't stop buying. :)
Thanks. This new face went with the cartoon I did earlier.
Fun to play on blogger.
My TBR pile seems to be constantly growing, no matter how fast I try to read. Congrats on your week's reading. I admit it, I may but book by the description, but I judge my next read by its cover--man in kilt always first to be read, then, it's by mood. --T
Ivy - I have a feeling you have fun with EVERYTHING! You're my inspiration to do the same. :)
Tanja - Ah, what a nice surprise to see you here!! :) Men in kilts, huh? You might not say that if you saw my last cruise director in one. Yeah, he might have been Scottish, but he didn't look anything like those cover guys. He looked more like a really short John Candy, if you know what I mean. I would have taken a picture, but I think I was in shock. :)
I read what strikes my fancy. I once had an 1000 page book staring at me for months and I was too afraid to start it. One day, I felt like a historical and didn't look up for four days.
Well, of course I voted for you.
Sometimes I'm reading on a deadline - book club selection or an ARC I've promised to comment on - other than that I read what strikes me.
Maria - My problem is that sometimes I don't know WHAT strikes my fancy. I LOVE paranormal, but get a little afraid of reading that while I'm writing in that genre.
Linda - Thank you for the vote!! I do tend to read faster when on a deadline (and I kind of like it, since I'm always looking for an excuse to read). :)
I voted for you.
Thanks, Michael! :)
