Readin' and Dreamin': A Spark Unseen by Sharon Cameron
http://christysbooks.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-spark-unseen-by-sharon-cameron.html
Wednesday, September 25, 2013. A Spark Unseen by Sharon Cameron. I received a galley of this novel from NetGalley for review. This in no way affected my opinions. I echo the sentiments of other reviewers: this is very different from the first book. Intrigue ensues, with shady characters, royal secrets, and the like. New characters pop up, who I quite like and hope to see again, if there is another book, that is. Posted by Christy B. Tags: Author: Sharon Cameron. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). As far...

Cerebral Girl in a Redneck World: October 2014
http://cerebralgirl.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 19, 2014. Well, it's that time! We've reached the end of the road of this read-a-thon. I was able to participate this year much more than the last year or two, since we've discovered that I'm anemic and have been treating it. I slept through much of the last read-a-thon. End of Event Meme:. Which hour was most daunting for you? I think it was around Hour 19 that exhaustion finally hit me, and I gave in to sleep. I was going strong up to that point! It keeps getting better each year! If yo...

The 50 Greatest Red Sox Games. Would be better used as a reference book rather than the sort of book you would read in order – that becomes tedious after a while. Posted by Christy B.

Readin' and Dreamin': The Two Mrs. Abbotts by D.E. Stevenson
http://christysbooks.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-two-mrs-abbotts-by-de-stevenson.html
Thursday, January 23, 2014. The Two Mrs. Abbotts by D.E. Stevenson. I received a galley of this novel from NetGalley for review. This in no way affected my opinions. The Two Mrs. Abbotts. Is the third book in the Miss Buncle series, and while the title suggests it's about the former Miss Buncle and her niece-by-marriage, it is really not. Unfortunately, the charm of this series dissipates with each book. If you like books set in the country during this time period, then this is probably your thing, b...

Readin' and Dreamin': City of Jasmine by Deanna Raybourn
http://christysbooks.blogspot.com/2014/02/city-of-jasmine-by-deanna-raybourn.html
Wednesday, February 19, 2014. City of Jasmine by Deanna Raybourn. I received a galley of this novel from NetGalley for review. This in no way affected my opinions. First of all, I highly recommend reading the prequel to this novel: Whisper of Jasmine. It shows how Evie and Gabriel met, and gives good insight into the beginning of their relationship. That being said, City of Jasmine. I couldn't put this down! Deanna Raybourn fans will not be disappointed. Posted by Christy B. Tags: Author: Deanna Raybourn.

Readin' and Dreamin': Tuscan Rose by Belinda Alexandra
http://christysbooks.blogspot.com/2013/12/tuscan-rose-by-belinda-alexandra.html
Monday, December 9, 2013. Tuscan Rose by Belinda Alexandra. I received a galley of this novel from EdelWeiss for review. This in no way affected my opinions. I have been wanting to read this book for probably two years, and I'm so excited that it's finally being released in the states. The book ran a bit long, sometimes there was almost too much detail. When the partisans were discussing strategy, I admit to just skimming. Even if I read it word for word it would have went over my head. As far as the boo...
