Eloisa James has posted an extra chapter to “Duchess In Love” (free registration required). It takes the form of letters written by Gina to Cam, from when she was eleven to the start of the book - I liked the book, so it was a nice sweet and short reminder of their story.
A couple of interesting [...]

I’ve just taken a look at books I read in May and June so far - 32 books, written by 18 authors. Probably somewhat skewed by the fact I had a Eloisa James mini-glom (seven books).
Anyway, out of the 18 authors, five were new to me:
Jacqueline Winspear (post-WWI mystery series) - The first book was an impulse [...]

In Elizabeth Peters‘ latest newsletter (PDF file), she says that she has a contract for another Amelia Peabody, once she finishes writing the Vicky Bliss book she’s currently working on *happy dance*
I’ve now read the first four Vicky Bliss books, and am trying to track down the fifth book “Night Train to Memphis”. Unfortunately, it seems [...]

Suzanne Brockmann’s done a mini-overhaul of her website (and about time too!). Also on the website is a new excerpt from her August 2007 release “Force of Nature” and the cover for her Christmas novella “All Through The Night”. I’ve no idea who the main character is in the novella - all the blurb says [...]

The first two chapters of Charlaine Harris’ next Harper Connelly book “An Ice Cold Grave” (October 2007) is up on her website. This is the third book - I don’t think the main character is as engaging as Sookie, but it’s still a good series. Oh, and I’m still wondering about Harper’s and Tolliver’s relationship.
Also on [...]

I posted some time back about books I planned to buy this month.
Out of those books, I’ve read Jo Beverley’s “Lady Beware”, Eloisa James’ “Desperate Duchesses” and Laurell K Hamilton’s “The Harlequin”.
On the first two - when I updated my list of books read in June with these two books, I ranked “Lady Beware” slightly higher [...]

Sigh. I’m really starting to hate my ISP. I’ve had intermittent internet connection for the past week - intermittent being three minutes online before being cut off for about an hour… It seems to have sorted itself out now, so fingers crossed it stays this way. I need a new ISP. Aaaarggghhh…
Anyway, instead of wasting [...]

Suzanne Brockmann’s posted a tiny excerpt from her upcoming release “Force of Nature” (August 2007). It’s a Jules-Robin scene *grin*. I do like Jules - I hope Ms Brockmann gives him a HEA soon!
I posted this on Angie’s blog, but Charlaine Harris‘ Sookie Stackhouse series has just been picked up by a UK publisher, and [...]

I mentioned the other day that I came across a new find - Jacqueline Winspear’s “Maisie Dobbs” books, which is a mystery series set in 1930s London. There are four books so far in the series: “Maisie Dobbs”, “Birds of a Feather”, “Pardonable Lies” and “Messenger of Truth”. These books are shelved under Mystery, but [...]

Hurray - it’s the weekend! A lovely sunny one as well, it’s quite a change from the freezing weather we had a week ago when I seriously considered digging out my winter coat. Unfortunately, I went out last night and am feeling slightly err… delicate today, so I’ve just spent the afternoon having a bit of [...]
