I read everything I had planned to read for November except The Tattling Whisperwoods. I'm not sure I will get to that one because I'm having a hard time feeling in the mood for it. I ended up reading a couple of other books that where not on the list. That's the goal for me going forward; to read more books that I feel in the mood to read in the moment, and less planned reads. As for the short stories that I had on the list to read for book club, my favorites ended up being, The Paperweight Library, I Hate Dragons, All Summer in a Day, and The Door in the Wall. I'll post more about those in a separate book club post.
I started the month off with this book-
Blind Date with a Werewolf (Alpha and Omega) by Patricia Briggs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Content: Strong Language
When the deadly werewolf Asil is gifted five blind dates by some anonymous “friends,” his reclusive life will never be the same.
Dear Asil
We are worried about you. A werewolf alone is a sad thing,
especially at Christmastime. So we have a challenge for five dates in
three weeks. We have taken the work out of it and connected you with
five people from online dating sites. You should also know that we have
informed the whole pack and instigated a betting pool. Have fun!
Sincerely,
Your Concerned Friends
I loved reading these stories about Asil. I'm also curious to find out more about the new lady in his life.
“A successful date is one in which (a) neither party runs screaming into the night, (b) there are no dead bodies at the end of it, and (c) you attend longer than two hours—at least an hour and a half of which is spent with your date—”
Next I read the short stories but I'll post about them later. After that I started listening to this on audio-
Their Lost Souls (Agent Tori Hunter #6) by Roger Stelljes
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Mystery, Suspense
Content: Strong Language, Sex that is mostly fade to black
This was probably my second favorite book in the series. I think the series and characters have all improved over time.
Next up were these two romance books that are part of a series I had read the first book in-
Love Comes Quietly (Love Comes #3) by Laura Ann
You can read my review of this book here.
Love Comes Swiftly (Love Comes #4) by Laura Ann
You can read my review of this book here.
I needed a change of pace after reading two romances back to back, so I read my pick it for me book next-
You Have to Believe Me by Minka Kent
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Suspense, Thriller
Content: Strong Language
I predicted this one early on but it still kept me very entertained. Definitely not the best I've read by this author but not bad either.
I went on a road trip over the Thanksgiving holiday and listened to this in the car with the husband. We also got halfway through Magic Rises on the way back-
Magic Gifts (Kate Daniels #5.5) by Ilona Andrews
Still 4 stars.
And last, I started this one but haven't gotten very far into it yet-
The Strength of the Few (Hierarchy #2) by James Islington
No rating yet.
