Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon

I really enjoyed this! I gave it 4 stars an immediately went on Amazon and bought the next two. Its a romance (duh) with a TON of Greek mythology involved. I LOVE Greek mythology. I wish that could have been my degree in college. If you guys like romance and have never read this, do it. All of Sherrilyn Kenyon's books that I have read have been nothing short of wonderful! I linked the book and the author in case you guys want to check it out!

Heather | 131 comments Second Stitchy Challenge finish: The Woman in Cabin 10


message 9: by Catherine (new)

Catherine The Cleaner by Mark Dawson The Cleaner (John Milton #1) by Mark Dawson this was meh. I didn't care either way for the main character, I found the plot obvious. I only liked some of the side characters which disappoints me. MEH!!

Heather | 131 comments 4th Stitchy Reading Challenge done. The Moonstone

Heather | 131 comments Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell Phew. That was a tome and a half.

Heather | 131 comments Collared. Another great entry in what's become my favorite series.

Keri Phillips  | 167 comments Ok.. Went on vacation then had kids going to and from camp. THEN work went crazy. Found out I will be taking a huge test in October to be a Board Certified Nutritional Pharmacists. Two reference books about 700 pages a piece. I am absolutely going to include those in my yearly total! Ok. This month I have read Savages by Katherine Bogle (Meh), Die Trying by Lee Child (4 star), The Firm by John Grisham (I live in Memphis, so this is an old favorite for me) and Anne Boleyn: A Kings Obsession by Alison Weir (5 stars). If you like Tudor books, I highly recommend the last one. Much different view of Anne Boleyn than Philippa Gregory. Anne was a victim of her and her family's greed and hunger for power. Henry is a man that never outgrew the "I want!" bratty phase.
