So, a while back I read the first chapter of a book on agent Kristin Nelson's blog. Now some background on what I read real quick. I do like scifi, but its not the bulk of what I read, nor is it necessarily what I go to first. Romance even less so, not that I don't like it, but I have a short attention span. "SQUIRREL." So, I like my books to have a good amount of action, and things to keep me thinking and wondering. So when I read Gabriele's Ghost (a mix of scifi, paranormal, and romance), by Linnea Sinclair on Kristin's blog I immediately went out and bought it. That first chapter just hooked me right in.
Then I didn't touch it for months. Things happened, I got busy, and its hard to do reading for pleasure when I have to do so much reading for school. I'd pick it up every once in a while, maybe put it in my bag, but then put it back on my shelf.
Finally I brought it to my jury summons. Half of jury duty is just waiting, so out of the three books that I brought (because you'll never know what you'll be in the mood for) I restarted Gabriele's Ghost. And loved it. Yeah, so its not what I normally read. Also I'm a terrible blusher, which is not necessarily a good thing when reading in public. Don't get me wrong, the sex scenes are tasteful and not the bulk of the book, but even when I'm writing my own make out, or even single kiss scene, I'm blushing. Damn my pale skin and freckles!
Needless to say, I went out and bought the other books in the series. I thought it was a great read. And when I read what I'm most looking for in a story is something that is entertaining. A book that I get sucked into so much that even when I'm done reading it, I'm still thinking about it.
And that's what I'm reading now.
