I'M BACK WITH NEW BOOK REVIEWS

Okay, it has been six months since my last blog and I had swore to myself that I would blog at least three times a week. But, so much has happened that I had to break that promise to myself.

I have been on the road 2-3 time per week taking my mother and grandmother to Dr appointments. And kept up at night with a sick chihuahua. While this killed my writing time, it certainly helped make time for reading. I mean, what else is there to do in waiting rooms???

So, now that my excuse is out of the way, let's get started.

I have read so many books these past few months that I don't even know where to begin on reviewing them. So, I think I will just list the authors that I have come to admire and would love to promote because I think that they deserve to have their books read by everyone.

So, the first one up is Shelly Crane. All I can say is "WOW". Her books are the most amazing stories, blending the perfect amount of paranormal and romance. Her Significance series and Collide series are a must read and I am looking forward to the next books in both series. Please check out her books and I promise you will not be disappointed.


The next on the list is Addison Moore and her Celestra series. When I read the first book in this series, I just knew that I would have sleepless nights waiting for the next book. Well, apparently she doesn't sleep either because she has already added three more books to the series and I am a happy reader because of it. This is another author that you should devote a few happy reading hours to, and enjoy all her books have to offer.

In a previous blog I mentioned author Lori Pescatore and her Blend series. I have had the pleasure of reading the second book in the series and again I was overtaken by toe-tingling pleasure. Please do yourself a favor and check out her books and your toes will soon be tingling as well.

The last author I want to feature today is Jessica Verday. What can I say, but her Hollow series has everything in them that I love. Ghosts, romance, and a retelling of one of everyone's favorite classics "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Please give it up already and let her draw you into her wonderful world.

One thing I would like to mention is that when a new book comes out in a series, I always go back and reread the previous books. One thing I hate is to start a new book in a series and spend most of my time trying to remember who certain characters are from past books. And, I always love being drawn back into the world the author has created.

So, that's it for now and I hope all readers will pick up the books I have mentioned in my post. These authors certainly deserve to have you as fans. Oh, and don't forget to follow them on Twitter and other sources of social networking. They love to tease you with tidbits of upcoming books and contests.

My next blog is going to be about Indie books and what I love and hate about them.
