I wish I had somethign to post about, but honestly, right now I’m just sort of doing normal every day things. I’m finishing up my taxes for 2008 (Yes, I’m behind on them. This year has gone past WAY to fast.) I’m working 4 shifts a week at the bar, trying to watch what I eat, trying to get some writing in. Trying to get some photography in.
I am reading a lot. Not many new books though. Mostly old favorites. I try a couple of new books every now and then, but to be honest, I’m not finding many that interest me. It just seems like lately every time I pick up a book either it sounds too familiar (as in, I’ve read this over and over already) or it sounds great, I read it, and find the story itself, or the writing, lacking some magic. I’m not sure if that’s me being too picky, or the writer in me being too analytical. Or if there really is something missing from those stories. So, I’ve gone back to reading some of my tried and true favorites.
What are you reading right now? Anything you think I should give a try?
Hey Sasha, I just finished Desire Untamed by Pamela Palmer. I thought it was really good. Good enough that I pre-ordered her next 2 books. I also just finished Nalini Singh’s psy-changeling whole series and I thought it was very good. Hope if you give these a try, that you’ll like them. Being a writer for a living must make it hard for you to find what you consider “good” books. LOL!

I’m reading lots of UF and YA
Right now I’m reading Street Magic by Caitlin Kittredge and it’s awesome. It has gotten me out of my UF slump. It’s edgy, and dark and is not afraid to go there…
I hate books that look like they are going to that edge, then instead of jumping off they pull back. Don’t pull your punches authors!!!
Connie, I saw an ad for Pamela Palmers books.e. The Feral Warriors or something , right? Good to know you enjoyed it.
Is this the first one you’ve read by Caitlin Kittredge, Vivi? I read one a while, it was good, but didn’t grab me to read the rest of the series. Wondering if this is a new series. I’ll check it out for sure. I love edgy. 😈
