New year, new reading goals. I
decided to stick with 30 this year since I managed to reach that goal last
year. Not gonna put any stress on my reading and I don’t see this year being
all that different from last.
I have started the year off right,
though. I finished a crochet project before the 4th. I had been
working on it since October and realized that I wouldn’t meet with the woman I
give my projects to until February if I didn’t finish it by the 4th,
because I was meeting her that day. I made it (on the 3rd—talk about
cutting it close) and she was very thankful.
I also finished revising Alien
Desires! I still need to go over the last chapter I “fixed,” but that
shouldn’t take long (hopefully will get to it today). I emailed my editor to
see if she could start working on in next week. She can! Now I just have to get
the blurb written so I can get the cover made. Let’s see if I can get that done
before the 16th, when we leave for Florida to cruise and spend time
with friends.
Yep, we’ll be gone about three
weeks. Some of it on a cruise. Some of it in Ft Lauderdale. Some of it with our
friends in their timeshares (Titusville & Kissimmee). At least it should be
warm down there. Well…warmer than here!
Here’s what I read since my last
update:
Book 1
Title: The Crazy Cheetah Lady
Year of publication: 2015
Author: Pepper McGraw
Genre: Paranormal romance (MMMF)
Series: Murrysville Coalition #1
# of Pages: 172
Paper or plastic: Trade paperback
How obtained: Purchased from author
Blurb from Book: Abby doesn’t exactly believe in the paranormal, even though she’s made a career of writing about it. Then she saves a trio of cheetah cubs from the river and everything changes.
Alpha shifters, Marcus, Peter, and James are on the trail of their kidnapped triplet nephews. They’ve tracked the cubs to Abby’s town and heads are going to roll.
When the men reclaim their nephews and leave Abby behind, she follows their trail, determined not to lose the cubs she saved. This is fine with the alphas since they’ve decided she’ll make an excellent shifter mate. For them.
Recommend: Yes
My thoughts: Didn’t realize that this was a male/male/male/female erotica paranormal story when I bought the two books. I thought it was going to be a funny series. It’s light-hearted, but not humorous. And very short. I thought there would be more to it, but when it's erotica, it’s all about the sex, I guess. I don’t mind reading these when I’m prepared. And frankly, with my memory, it could be I just forgot what these books were about when I bought them from the author I sat next to at a book convention.
We’re expecting a lot of snow later today. I’m hoping it’s
all hype and blows over. Or maybe it just shifts away from us. I really don’t
want to clean up snow. Why do I live in Ohio again? Oh yeah, family. I have so
little as it is, don’t want to be away from it. So I guess I just deal with
snow. Ugh.
Happy Reading!
