Yet again the Publishing Fairy crashed my morning work session to complain about how long it's been since she's appeared on the blog. Since I have to get ready for MegaCon, and she's in the mood to grant a BookWish* for one of you, I'm letting her take over today.If you'd like to be the one upon whom she sprinkles her magic reading sparkles, in comments to this post name a book you've just read that you really enjoyed (or if you haven't read anything enjoyable recently, just toss your name in the hat) by midnight EST tonight, March 12th, 2014. I'll choose one name at random from everyone who participates and grant the winner a BookWish. This giveaway is open to everyone on the planet, even if you've won something here at PBW in the past.
*A BookWish is any book of the winner's choice available for order online and that costs up to a maximum of $30.00 U.S. dollars (I'll cover any additional shipping costs involved.)
I am currently reading "Why Kings Confess" by C.S. Harris. This mystery just keeps getting better and better. Next on the list, Patricia Briggs' latest Mercy Thompson. It's receiving good reviews, which only increase my desire to read it.

Just finishing Night Broken by Patricia Briggs. Love her books.
ReplyDeleteJust finished 'The Rosie Project' by Graeme Simsion. It was pretty good, though it had a saggy middle.
ReplyDeleteI recently read The Jade Temptress (Book #2 of The Lotus Palace) by Jeannie Lin. It is a historical fiction novel set in China; a different genre than what I'm used to.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I really enjoyed Once We Were by Kat Zhang.
ReplyDeleteOoohhh I love the Publishing Fairy! I just read Striking Distance by Pamela Clare. I like the I-Team series and thought that this was one of the better ones.
ReplyDeleteCan I lodge my book wish just in case the Publishing Fairy smiles on me? I would love a StarDoc compendium. So not ready to leave that universe! But seeing as that book hasn't been written I would have to choose some Kim Harrison books for my sister. I have the hard copies but she lives overseas and needs the e-copies as the books are too expensive to send.

I read MR. CHURCHILL'S SECRETARY over the weekend and loved it.
ReplyDeleteSusan Elia Macneal made the 40s feel vivid and currrent.
I'd sworn off books titled Somebody's Something after the rash of Somebody's Wife books that came out in the last few years, but will have to get over that since the next two books have similar titles.
Sofie Kelly's Final Catcall - loved it. Oh and the Parasol Protectorate by Gail Carriger - great series.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your generosity! I'm waiting for my Patieicia Briggs to arrive, and can't wait for JR Ward next week
ReplyDeleteI just finished The Blinding Knife by Brent Weeks. I love this world building and I can't wait for the next in this series.
ReplyDeleteI also just read Cinder by Marissa Meyer. It was a YA fairy tale with a scifi twist and an ending I wasn't quite expecting.
My most recent favorite is Clockwork Wolf by Lynn Viehl. The last book I finished was Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs. Two great books!
ReplyDeleteI am reading Pictures of the Past which is emotional and captivating.
ReplyDeleteI just finished Echoes in Stone by Kat Sheridan. Great read.
ReplyDeleteI have two books that I just read and really enjoyed The President's Henchman by Joseph Flynn and The Night is Mine ML Buchman.
ReplyDeleteI just re-read "The Forgiving Hour" by Robin Lee Hatcher. Great, emotional story.
ReplyDeleteAm reading "The Probable Future" by Alice Hoffman. So far it's amazing, but then I rather like Alice Hoffman's writing.
ReplyDeleteI finished THE TRAITOR"S WIFE by Allison Pataki. Really interesting.......
ReplyDeleteI just finished _Dark Watcher_ by Lilith Saintcrow. Great book.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Just finished a re-read of The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson
ReplyDeleteJust finished- and loved- Murder of Crows, Anne Bishop.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read very much since I've been vehicle shopping.
ReplyDeleteI just finished Kathleen Ernst's The Heirloom Murders. This is the first Chloe Ellefson mystery I've read and I learned it's part of a series. Now, I've got to buy all her other books!
ReplyDeleteNight Broken by Patricia Briggs
ReplyDeleteI recently read & enjoyed Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to meet you at MegaCon! :)
I just finished "Codex Born" by Jim C. Hines. A non-ripped, ordinary-person LIBRARIAN is the hero! Who also magically draws weapons and other objects out of the pages of his favorite books, some of which I have in my own library! Great geeky, meta fun.
ReplyDeleteJust finished the Lord John Grey series by Diana Gabaldon. Thanks so much to you and the Publishing Fairy!
ReplyDeleteJust finished Clockwork Wolf! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteI just read Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen and found it to be utterly charming.
