Change of plans

Originally, I created a "Books I've Read" list to go on the left on this blog, but the list of books is now getting so long and unwieldy that I'm going back and linking the books to online reviews that anyone can read. 

That means that the Booklist reviews will only be linked to Amazon because in order to read reviews on Booklist.com a person needs to be a subscriber, which I think most people aren't--especially my family members for whom this blog was begun.

The AAR reviews will be linked to actual AAR reviews.

Now I'll look for something fun to put on the left instead of the long, long list.

Today's reviewing

So I have my work but out for me today: Writing reviews of Lynn Kurland's One Magic Moment, Carolyn Brown's Walkin' on Clouds, and Cindy Jones' My Jane Austen Summer, all for AAR.  Kurland was her usual wonderful self while Brown was okay, but not okay enough that I'll ever seek out another book by her, and Jones is as pretentious as Jane Austen books with reader's guides usually are.  Reviews to come, as they say in journalism--or at least used to say.

My editor at Booklist emailed yesterday and asked if I'd review the latest Jackie Collins novel, Goddess of Vengeance.  I said yes even though I haven't read one of hers in ages and can't remember if I liked them or not.  We'll see!

Oh, my!

Well, a cold slowed me down from blogging, but not from reading.  I finished and reviewed some for Booklist and some for AAR: Lori Foster's When You Dare, Katie Lane's Going Cowboy Crazy, Fern Michaels' reprint Golden Lasso, Shirlee Busbee's Rapture Becomes Her, Elizabeth Jennings' Darkness at Dawn, Shelley Shepard Gray's The Caregiver, and Stefanie Sloane's The Angel in My Arms.

I'm currently reading Lynn Kurland's One Magic Moment and really enjoying it.

And I've got to review sometime soon Carolyn Brown's Walkin' on Clouds and Cindy Jones' very disappointing My Jane Austen Summer.

All in all, getting sick was great for the reading time, but deathly on the reviewing.  I couldn't think!  Eeek!

That only leaves me to read six review books: Stefanie Sloane's The Sinner Who Seduced Me, Linda Lael Miller's Creed's Honor which I'm really looking forward to reading, Vicky Dreiling's How to Seduce a Scoundrel, Karen Robards' Justice, Liz Fielding's Tempted by Trouble, and Kaki Warner's Hearbreak Creek, another one I'm looking forward to reading.

As if all of that isn't enough, I'm currently reading Kathleen Eagle's Once a Father on my Kindle for pleasure!

As we say, let the summer begin!
