I'm back from vacation
Sunday, May 11, 2008
Well, for a week at any rate. Next Saturday I'm off to Portland and Depoe Bay and hopefully a fabulous dinner with some very cool blog/authorpeople.
And a funny moment had on vacation. We were in Waldenbooks with my mom and I was looking at the romance titles when Mom walked over.
Mom: What's Nora Roberts doing in this section? Me: Um, she writes romance, Mom. Mom: Are you sure? I thought she just wrote mysteries and I have one to read. Me: No, Mom, she really writes romance. With mystery, but she writes romance. Mom: hmmm....
Yeah, my mother is incredibly anti-romance and thinks romance readers are crazy and obsessed with reading them. Hope you like that Nora, Mom. And okay, that's not exactly what she said, but the gist is right.
*so...do I capitalize mom or not? *sigh*
Oh, and it SNOWED, yesterday, on Saturday.
And I'm in love with the new James Clemens fantasy series The Godslayer Chronicles and I read the first two books this last week and there aren't any more yet!!! Bad author, bad. Write faster. The bookses, they are good. Well, if you like that kind of fantasy.
And I read Mrs. Perfect by Jane Porter and adored it, too.
In the wake of a failed love affair, brainy beauty Jilly Lovitz takes off for Tokyo. She's expecting to cry on her sister Summer's shoulder, then spend a couple months blowing off steam in Japan. Instead, she's snatched away on the back of a motorcycle, narrowly avoiding a grisly execution attempt meant for her sister and brother-in-law.
Her rescuer is Reno, the Committee's most unpredictable agent. They'd met once before and the attraction was odd – tattooed Yakuza punk meets leggy California egghead – but electric. Now Reno and Jilly are pawns in a deadly tangle of assassination attempts, kidnappings and prisoner swaps that could put their steamy partnership on ice.
Can I just say that I devoured this book? So good. Reno is awesome. I mean, how can you resist a guy described as a "tattooed Yakuza punk"? I loved how fast-paced the story was. It was definitely the hero who was the focus of the book, and since he's so fascinating, that was just dandy with me. Anyone else read it? Just loved it. Yeah, had to say that again.
Ugh. Had to go home sick from work today because of my allergies. I was sneezing and sniffling and probably scaring the customers who probably thought I had a nasty cold. I just felt achy and sinus headaching. Went home, took two Benadryls and collapsed on the basement couch for over 4 hours. And even after all that sleep, I still feel exhausted.
Woe is me. Windy days and flowering trees do not a happy Nicole make.
The third Sharing Knife book! Oh, I'm enjoying it so far.
Also finished reading up Fast & Loose by Elizabeth Bevarly. It was cute and a quick lunch time read. I liked the Derby setting.
Also read Lord Deverill's Secret by Amanda Grange. It's a very traditional Regency novel stuck in trade paperback. Good story, but not really worth $14. I am happy I read it, though. It was also very cute.
Also listening to Naughty Neighbor by Evanovich in my car. So far it's really cute and I like the reader, C.J. Critt.
Well, Kristie has done it again and I am a convert. North and South was so amazingly good. Just amazing. And the end....ah...so good. So many others have mentioned all the fine aspects of this show, so I won't go into it (although if you want to know more, Kristie has quite the list of fans on her sidebar).
Thank you, Kristie, for the recommendation. You're a gem.
