Fantastic Library

I am lucky to be a member of  the ERL but thanks to there fantastic holds system and http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/ they are running me ragged.  I do think that part of it may be my fault but when you are looking at favourite authors they also suggest other authors and then you are off on a wild goose chase and I end up having two screens up so that I can place holds on authors that i (or the website) think I might like.  Bookarmy is another site that helps me waste time reading.  All in all I have 62 books out at the moment and 4 weeks to read them in.  I am busy compiling spreadsheets in a vain effort to keep up with what I have read, what I have liked and what I might want to read in the future.  A little anal, but that might have something to do with the type of personality that works in a library.  People say to me 'aren't you lucky working in a library.  You must get to read all the time."  As if and don't I wish.  My library does not lean itself towards the pleasure of reading being a academic library but thank goodness, or else I would get absolutely nothing done and would have to keep on taking holidays just so I can catch up on my reading.  If that is the worst that I can expect out of life, having too much to read, it's a good life.

Dark Slayer - Christine Feehan

Christine is a favourite author of mine and I am always on the lookout for her next book.  I am currently reading 'Dark Slayer'.  I started it last night and bought it to work and can't help sneaking peaks at it throughout the day which has not been terribly conducive to getting some work done.  Ivory Malinov is a vampire that had been betrayed terribly by her beloved brothers and has lived on her own for hundreds of years.  She finds her lifemate Razvan and is during a fight with her brother is discovered by Mikhail and his court.  What I love about Christine's books is her ability to have a separate story within the series.  She introduces new characters and ties them to the much loved originals with finesse and compassion.  Good read.

Witch Fire by Anya Bast

I like to have a few books on the go. They don't have to be the same genre, just as long as they are interesting.  I have finished Witch Fire by Anya Bast and have sitting on my overcrowed bedside table, Witch Blood as well.  I really enjoy series that have books as an entire story with different characters.  Witch fire is about Mira Hoskins who has no idea that she is a witch.  Jack McAlister has been sent to watch over her by his boss, Mira's unknown cousin.  Jake helps her develop her powers as they deal with the passion between each other.

Wages of Sin by Jenna Maclaine

I have just finished these 2 books and really enjoyed them.  I will wait in anticipation for the next in the series.  Bound by Sin is the 3rd in the series and due out Dec 09.  Dulcinea (Cin for short) is a witch who has lost her parents and finds herself in peril for her life.  She calls on the help of the 'Righteous' who are 3 vampires who kill their own on orders from the High King.  All is not as it seems and Dulcinea may need to make a life changing decision to save herself and her friends.
