OK…..so I just looked at my last blog post….March 2…..oh goodness, you can officially consider me the most hideous blogger on the planet.

 

So…I make my renewed vow - I AM going to do my best to blog more often!!!

 

Of course, part of why I’m a bad blogger is that I never know what to say.  Give me a story to tell and my fingers fly….try to come up with a subject to blog on and you might as well kiss anything of remote interest good-bye.  Unless you’re absolutely riveted by the story of a 2-year-old who threw a tantrum on the subway this morning, I’m afraid I ain’t got much. 

So…whenever I don’t know what to say, I revert to one of my favorite subjects….books!!!  (Well, Daniel Craig and Gerard Butler can get me grooving, too, but – alas – neither has come to their senses and realized I am the woman of their dreams, so…no blog post for them!)  :-)

 

Despite being on deadline, I try to read every day.  I usually get at least 20 minutes a day on the subway and a bit of time before bed.  I thought I’d share what I’m currently reading (and yes, it’s freaky but I usually have at least 4-5 books going at a time).  Feel free to drop in and let me know what you’ve got on your TBR pile!

 

INSATIABLE  by Meg Cabot

 

OK - so I adore – adore, adore, adore – Meg Cabot and read just about everything the woman writes (I’ve even read her adorable middle grade series about Allie Finkel, despite the fact there isn’t an 8 year old in sight in my household, I love her books that much). 

Insatiable is her take on vampires and it’s fun, clever, juicy and ever-so-sly in the way she’s taken on the recent resurgence of vampire fiction.  I highly recommend it!!!

 

STORM OF SHADOWS by Christina Dodd

 

I absolutely love Christina Dodd’s paranormals and I’ve had Storm on my TBR pile.  Since her next two in this series – CHAINS OF ICE and CHAINS OF FIRE are about to come out (Ice came out this past Tuesday) I hurried to read this.  An absolutely yummy hero and a fun, slighly kooky (but loveable) heroine made this a fun read!

 

THE VAMPIRE’S KISS by Vivi Anna

 

I love Vivi’s series with Harlequin Nocturne – it’s CSI-meets-the-paranormal.  First of all, I just LOVE the premise.  Second, oh man, does she deliver in this series.  I nearly devoured this book in one sitting.  It’s fantastic!

 

FROSTBITE by Richelle Mead

 

OK, OK, so I’m way behind on my Vampire Academy reading.  I just finished #2 – FROSTBITE - and will likely have the next two done by the end of the month.  This series is so much fun – if you are a YA reader, you’ve no doubt discovered this wonderful series a long time ago.  If you’re not a YA reader or want to know where to start, definitely check these out.  VAMPIRE ACADEMY is the first and it’s a lot of fun.

 

OK….back to my deadline cave.  WARRIOR BETRAYED – Quinn’s book - is due in at the end of the month.  Although I say deadline cave like it’s a bad thing, in reality….I get to spend my evenings with Quinn Tanner, Taurus Warrior.  Oh my, am I one lucky gal!!!  :-)

 

Happy Summer!!!

XOXO,

Addison

Addison: Thanks so much for sharing your latest reads. Can’t wait to hear what you think of VA#3, Shadow-Kissed. The ending blew me away. I’m all caught up on the series and have the next book on pre-order.

Am a Dodd fan from way back but haven’t read Storm of Shadows. Will check out the other recommends.

And look forward to seeing you in Orlando at the RWA literacy signing.

Hey Addison, thanks for sharing your readings and thanks for the suggestions :)
I’m just now about to finish “Warrior Ascended: The Sons of the Zodiac “, and let me tell you, I’m really impressed. Can’t wait to start “Warrior Avenged” and find out more about Kane.
Any idea when we should expect Quinn?
Thank :)
