November Reading

I have been reading a lot the past few months.  So this seems to be my slow month.  Just reading slowly and listening to books on tape.  But still very enjoyable.

This was a free download book that I got on a whim a few weeks back.  I have been reading so much from the library that I had not even looked at it until now.  I am glad that I did download it.  It is turning out to be a cute and quirky story.  The characters and the story are a bit simple but still enjoyable and somewhat believable.  I just enjoyed the story and really enjoyed the character development.

Book 5 of the parasol protectorate.  This book has Alexia getting into her usual trouble but this time in one of my favorite literary backdrops of Egypt.  But I am getting ahead of myself.  This book takes place 2 years after the last book and the "infant inconvenience" is now Prudence and just as much of handful as her mother.  This was the first time that I have listened to one of the books in this series.  After  the first few chapters I became a fan of the reading.

This series is defiantly my guilty book pleasure.  Actually, I think anything by Laurell K Hamilton falls under guilty pleasure.  This one goes back to the love triangle arc between Anita, Jean Claude and Richard. Then  throw in a hitman, zombies and the werewolf power struggle and I am in heaven.   I was not loving the end of the book, but man was this a steamy book.  I already have the next book checked out and looking forward to reading that one as well.

This was in simplest terms a bridge book.  But that is not to imply was bad, boring or anything else negative.  I enjoyed this character building book and that is really what it was.  A chance for characters to react to their new status and relationships.  It is a good stepping stone book that even ties up some old loose ends from a few books ago.  I am not sure why I ever resisted this series so much.  I am enjoying it far more than the Sookie series.
