Well, Happy New Year!!! It's
the beginning
of a new year, a new slate, new
opportunities and best of all, new books to read!
I always like that bit -- new books -- and there are a bunch to read in 2009.
Some of the ones I'm waiting for include:
KISSES LIKE A DEVIL the 5th
"Devil" book by Diane Whiteside in February,
RUNNING HOT by Jayne Ann
Krentz,
MAYHEM IN HIGH
HEELS by Gemma Halliday,
JUDAS KISS by J.T. Ellison,
THE TEMPTATION OF THE NIGHT
JASMINE by Lauren Willig, and for the "voyeur" in me,
MEN OF THE OTHERWORLD by
Kelley Armstrong. Just a short list off the top of my head to get the year
started. Can you tell my tastes are ALL over the spectrum?
But I think I'm very similar to other readers...I just love to read...and
I'm always looking for a new book, a new author, something different. Of course,
I also have my comfort reads, thus explains my six copies of
LORD OF SCOUNDRELS by
Loretta Chase, one of which I just finished re-reading for the upteenth time
this past week. And yes, I got a new copy with the current re-issue because you
can never have too many "classics" in my ever-so-humble opinion! Another set of
re-reads are
MEMORY and
A CIVIL CAMPAIGN by Lois
McMaster Bujold. The new year wouldn't be complete without my Miles shot! And
there is a new Miles out soon...well late 2009 or 2010 .. she's been reading
chapters I've heard. But until then, I can get my Miles fix with the new
VORKOSIGAN COMPANION with
complete timeline, essays and more! Who knew I'd be reading a book about books I
read? What a concept...
So, what are you looking forward to reading in 2009? Something you'll be
re-reading? Or breaking out of your box and trying something new? And are you
one of "those" who likes to count books read, pages read? Let us know!
And as a special New Year's prize...I'll give away a brand-new copy of something
in our treasure trove of new arrivals! Just
enter here or better yet,
leave a comment!
Make that a BUNDLE of books, why only one!
Happy New Year...

I've never kept a record of how many books I've read in a year but that sounds like a great idea! I enjoy reading romantic suspense and can't wait to get my hands on J. T. Ellison's new book. I would love a bundle of books! Thank you for the chance to win them and Happy New Year!

I love to read...I just retired and am enjoying catching up on the many books I haven't been able to get to. Would love more!!!!

I love to read so much. Books coming up for me to read are Jeanine Frost (at Grave's End) The two new Carrie Vaughn books when they are released, anything by Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, Kim Harrison, Kelley Armstrong, Vicki Pettersson and Christopher Moore. There's lots more, too much to list here. All Time Favorite though, anything by Terry Pratchett, especially his Discworld series. Happy new Year!
