This was so successful last year during the holidays–I got so many wonderful suggestions– that I thought we should do it again.
Tell me what’s on your eReader for a chance to win an Amazon Gift Card.
I’m always looking for the next great read. So, share what you’re reading, get me to read it too, and win a $10 Amazon Gift Certificate.
Just post below between now and January 15th, and if I pick your recommendation, I’ll send you the gift certificate. IOW, convince me that what you’re reading is great. That easy. So give yourself something for the holidays.
P.S. If I get 25 comments, I’ll up the gift certificate to $25. (Last year I ended up giving away two $15 Gift Certificates.)
As for what I’m reading . . .
I’m reading something a little different this year, Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher (author of the Dresden Files). Has anyone else read it?
I really enjoyed the Dresden books, so I picked this up from audible and started listening to it. Well . . . that was way to slow because it grabbed me right away, and I don’t drive enough. So, I had to pick up the eBook as well, and now I’m going back and forth. If you enjoy fantasy, this is a good one.
It’s on sale at Amazon and iBooks for 2.99.
Enjoy the season and don’t forget to let me know what you’re reading.

I am reading a book by Brad Taylor-GHOSTS OF WAR
Happy New Year
Fiction? Is it good?
Let’s see, last count I have over 2000 books. I just finished Back for Seconds by Ginger Voight. And before that Jenny Colgan’s Cupcake Cafe. I’ve read the Fugly series, Indebted Series by Pepper Winters, by far my favorite. I have Cherry Pie by Virginia Sexton. I’ve read so many Cinderella theme novels I have to brush off the glitter. I love Ava Mills, Carolyn Brown, M Nevers, May Sage, Samantha Holt. I have cookbooks, books on how to crochet, knit, quilt, sew, publish. I read erotica, romance, dark romance, rom-com, chic lit, woman’s lit, history, biographies. I have so many in my wish like that I’m thinking about making separate wish list. Really want to read, read next, will read when all else is read. I have so many favorite authors that when I`m not reading them I feel like I`m cheating on them! If it weren’t for FREE books I would be in debters prison.
“I’ve read so many Cinderella theme novels I have to brush off the glitter.”
LOL!! Too funny.
I get them free or for 99 cents. If I didn’t, I’d be sharing a cell with you 🙂 (and probably be in divorce court, too, LOL)
LOL!! What about the library, Kristi? I love Overdrive.
Currently reading an ARC by Maryann Jordan titled Picking Up the Pieces. Very good.
Thanks, Yvonne.
I am reading Like that endless Camria Sky by Linda Seed. Before that I read The cop whole stole Christmas by Christie Craig. A nice holiday themed read. And I live outskirts of Erie, PA which if yiu have seen the national news we have a record 68 inches of snow since late Christmas Eve.
Happy Holidays!
Brrrr. It’s even cold here in Texas, but nothing like you’re getting. Is the Linda Seed book good?
I have a bunch of books I have not read but what stands out are the Peri-Jean Mace books by Catie Rhodes. Once I started the series I had to binge read until I finished the last one( I think there are 8?). I think Forever Road is the first one and there is a new one coming out in January. I just can’t recommend these enough! So many twists and turns.
Thanks, Carolyn, I’ll take a look.
I’m currently reading Mafia Daddy: A Contemporary Cinderella Fairy Tale by Jane Henry. Just finished her book Beauty’s Daddy: A Beauty and the Beast Adult Fairy Tale that I enjoyed. I’ve read over 800 books this year and there are so many more I wish I had time for.
800!!! You way out-did me.
I have read just under 170 books this year, which is short of my 200 book goal. Right now, I am 2/3 of the way through my Christmas gift: Column of Fire by Ken Follett.
Goal for 2018? 150 books due to a big move probably late Spring
Andrea — do you keep some kind of list or log of books read?
I read so many books every year (last year I read 437) about every and this year I’m reading a lot of sci-if romance and contemporary western romance (I know, weird combo!). I read just about every romance sub-genre. The books I’m currently reading are:
The Clover Chapel by Devney Perry (love it!)
RIBUS 7 by Shae Mills (awesome sci-fi romance!)
Sawyer by Theresa Beachman (dystopian sci-fi romance, a little creepy)
I also listen to a lot of audiobooks every year. The last couple I listened to was Into the Light by Anna Carven (sci-fi romance) and A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole (an ugly cry contemporary romance which is my favorite audiobook in years!)
This year my goal is 450 books and 200 audiobooks 😊❤️📚
437! Wow. Do you keep a list of all the books you read. I love odd genre combinations as well, but I really love audio books. I always have at least one audio and one eBook going at the same time. That is, unless the audio book is so good that I have grab the eBook, too, and go back and forth. 🙂
I have read a lot of books this last year, about 3 a week until October and then I slowed down because of something that happened. I love to read and read many different ways: hardcover, paperback, audible, ebook…it’s all fun for me. Lately I have been getting into mysteries and I’ve been loving the Lee Strauss Ginger Gold mysteries and the Callie’s Kitchen Mysteries by Jenny Kales.
Me, too, Sharon. eBooks. Paperbacks. Hardcover. And definitely audio.
I am reading Isaiah’s Daughter by Mesu Andrews, Returning Love by Toni Shiloh and
Sensible Shoes by Sharon Garlough Brown.
Are you enjoying them, Sonnetta?
The Man in the Black Suit by Sylvain Reynard. It’s got mystery, love, and a heck of a twist to it. Like every book I’ve read of his, I started it and didn’t want to put it down.
My Kindle is loaded with so many books, I don’t know what I got this year. I know I read over 60 books, though, including “Once A Wife”. I loved that book!
As a side note, I’d like to add that I love it when men write romances. I don’t know what it is about them, but they’re just different. I’m sure women will always have a corner on the market with them and that’s great. There are some fantastic women authors out there. It’s just nice to see some men launching into the genre.
Wow, Kristi. You made my day. I’m thrilled that you enjoyed Once A Wife. My editor insists it’s the best of my romances.
Hi. Reading the Silverleaf Chronicles by Vincent Trigili. Excellent
Thanks. I’m off to look it up, Jackie.
I’m currently reading Woe for a Faerie: Keepers of New York (Book One) by B. Brumley.
Are you enjoying it, Traci? Should I go look it up?
I’m re-reading the series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE by George RR Martin.
Wow. That’s quite a re-read. LOL!! But then, IMO, Martin is brilliant.
Test!
Hi, Sarah!
