Tiny Tyvien
These last few weeks have been very eventful for me. Not at all in the way that you would think. I still haven't left my house for more than a few hours at a time....but I have read quite a few books and got a new niece.
Gaspar's new baby girl was born. Her name is Tyvien Reina. She was 7lbs. and 18" long. She looks just like Sunny.
Holding the baby
I finished reading the Gemma Doyle trilogy. The books are titled "Rebel Angels" and "The Sweet Far Thing." This trilogy was an awesome way to take your mind off things. I really enjoyed this debut from Libba Bray and am looking forward to reading her next novel, "Going Bovine."
I also read a Nora Roberts novel called "True Betrayals." This was a time filler. I had ordered books from Amazon.com, but they hadn't arrived yet. A day without a book for me is a pretty empty one. Thank you Ms. Roberts for writing novels that require no thought....I think they call them leisure books. (even though we know they are just cheesy romance novels!) It definitely wasn't a favorite of mine, but it got me through my reading-dry-spell.
After that I got the first of the Shadowdwellers series by Jacquelyn Frank called "Ecstasy." I don't have much expectations going into the paranormal romance novels that I read, but I was surprised. It had a few unique ideas that I hadn't read in fantasy novels involving supernatural beings before. If you don't mind the romance end of this book, it might be worth checking out. Again....it requires very little thought. My only problem with novels of this variety is that the author introduces characters, and you develop a liking for them. Then you want to know how their relationships turn out, but they begin the next book with a different character.
I then moved to the second book in the Tairen Soul series by C.L. Wilson. This novel is called "Lady of Light and Shadows." I am enjoying these books because it is a paranormal romance, but without all the baby-making.
I am taking a break from reading for today, but I am about to trade three books to my sister-in-law Brigette for three more of hers.
I'm collecting a lot of books and never re-read one. Any good ideas of how to get rid of good books?
ReplyDeleteIf you have a Bookman's Store nearby you could always take them there. They will sort through your stuff and buy what they want to keep from you. I take books to the Tucson store pretty frequently. I know that the library will often take used books and sell them as well. (those you would have to donate...they don't buy them from you). What kind of books are they?
