What book(s) did you finish reading (or listening to) since the last update?
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, audiobook read by Scott Brick (4.5 stars, really glad I re-read it before seeing Jurassic World, because they seemed to have pulled some ideas from the novel into the new movie)
The Captive (Captive Hearts #1) by Grace Burrowes (4 stars—an interesting exploration of PTSD with both characters)
Pines (Wayward Pines #1) by Blake Crouch, audiobook read by Paul Michael Garcia (4 stars—covers about half of the currently running TV “special event” series, and I was very pleased that they didn’t make nearly as many changes to this as they did with Under the Dome.)
Only a Promise (The Survivors’ Club, #5) by Mary Balogh, audiobook read by Rosalyn Landor (4.5 stars—my favorite in the series so far!)
Dark Triumph (His Fair Assassin, #2) by Robin LaFevers (5 stars—better than Book 1!)
The Rake by Mary Jo Putney (4 stars—click through for my full review)
What are you currently reading and/or listening to?
A Sword Upon The Rose (Scottish Medieval #3) by Brenda Joyce (so far, it’s about a 3-star read . . . I skimmed/skipped most of the first chapter, as it was paragraph after paragraph of history that wasn’t necessary to set up the story—a few sentences, and then the few important points could have been revealed when she meets the hero, who turns out to be on the other side of the conflict. Plus, I think it’s going to turn out to be one of those “they’re fated to be together” types of stories, which isn’t a trope I enjoy.)
Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, audiobook read by Frances Barber (my Annual Austen pick for 2015)
What’s the next book on your To Be Read stack/list?
These are the library/Kindle Unlimited books I currently have on my Kindle:
Mortal Heart (His Fair Assassin, Book 3) by Robin LaFevers
Never Less Than a Lady (The Lost Lords #2) by Mary Jo Putney
Charming the Shrew (The Legacy of MacLeod #1) by Laurin Wittig
Another Chance to Dream (de Piaget #1) by Lynn Kurland
The Famous Heroine / The Plumed Bonnet (Stapleton-Downes #5&6) by Mary Balogh
