Project Read All The
Books: April Recap
My goal was to read 10 books…well I read 6.
The Siren byTiffany Reisz - Quite an interesting
series that I plan to continue. A friend recommended this author to me almost a
year ago and I even got a signed copy at RWA. Last week, my friend sent me a
link to a thorough review of The Siren. I found myself intrigued and decided
that I needed to get on the ball with this book. Since we closed early this
week due to inclement weather I thought it would give me the perfect
opportunity to try The Siren. I won’t
be able to articulate myself as well as the reviewer did, but this author has
an amazing talent for layering a story. She slowly built up the characters, but
also removed a layer of their story at a time through out the book. 
Eternal Kiss ofDarkness by Jeaniene Frost - My
least favorite Frost book, which makes me sad because I love Frost's work more than most authors. She is in one of my top authors, but I thought she didn't do Mencheres justice. Mencheres has been described as such a phenomenon in the vampire world in the other books. He carried a great presence in the other books. In Eternal Kiss of Darkness he was reduced to a pitiful character and the romantic storyline was extremely lacking. I wish there had been a larger focus on Kira. I liked her character, but I thought she could have been fleshed out better
Lady Sophia's Lover by Lisa Kleypas - Another great story from Kleypas.
What We Deserve byKerry Freeman – Really enjoyed!
For Duty’s Sake byLucy Monroe – Ok, but nothing to write home about. Needed some work according
to my Goodreads review.
A Rogue by Any OtherName by Sarah MacLean – Fabulous!
I started the project with 113 so after reading my 5 that
leaves me with 107….plus 1.
I loved A Rogue By Any
Other Name and couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next in the series, One Good Earl Deserves a Lover. My
library was having their Bi-Annual Friends Book Sale and would you believe that
that there was a copy of One Good Earl
in there? How could I pass that up? It was fate!
So grand total: 108
Goal for May: 7 books (I have the RT Convention, so I’m
trying to be realistic).
Wish me luck! How many books do you have on your TBR shelf?
