************************
This was a great week for me. I got a bunch of books this week from a variety of places. First, from Amazon, I got these releases by YA Debut Authors.

I have been looking forward to reading The Body Finder by Kim Derting since I first started seeing reviews months ago.

Princess for Hire by Lindsey Leavitt sounds really cute and I love the pink cover.

Voices of Dragons by Carrie Vaughn is a YA debut by an author I already read and enjoy.

I also got some books from the Science Fiction Book Club this month. They were running a special and I actually saved money by buying them there. Amazon would have been more even with free shipping.


Hastur Lord by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Deborah J. Ross is a new entry in a series that I used to love. I am eager to see if I fall back in love with Darkover when I read this one.

Angelology by Danielle Trussoni is an iffy pick for me. I have read great reviews of this book on the blogsphere but I am not a big fan of paranormals with angels. I have read a few that just didn't satisfy. I don't know if it was the theme or the authors that failed to connect.

I also added a couple of books to my Kindle.


Male Call by Denise A. Agnew had a hot cover and summary and was free.

Wolf Flight by Vivian Arend was the second in a series about werewolves. This was a good romance in a genre I really enjoy.

I also received a book I won in the Early Reviewers program at LibraryThing.
Spooky Little Girl by Laurie Notaro sounded interesting. This is described as light fiction/chick lit which is a little outside of my preferred genre. But I like to stretch my tastes a little every once in a while.
