I have been reading some great stuff lately and I am so glad I have my Sony e-bookreader. I love the convenience of the bookreader and the fact that I can download a ton of books and have them all with me at the push of a button. I take it with me everywhere and have read more since I got it for Christmas a few years ago than I have read in a long time. I have been reading a lot of books that I came across just perusing the Sony website and liking the description and reviews.
An author that I discovered several months ago is Carol Goodman, I have read all of her books and I love them. I am not really sure how to describe the genre, they are sort of mysteries with twists and turns and stories that will suck you in and force you to keep reading obsessively until you have figured out who did what and why and how. I really hope she has some new stuff coming out soon, any new books will be sure to find their way to my wishlist.
I also discovered an author by the name of Kate Morton, I've only read two of her books so far, but I have added her others to my reading wishlist. The first book of hers that I read is The Forgotten Garden, the best way I can think of to describe this book is I felt like it was a twist on The Secret Garden but for grown ups. I love that throughout the book she referenced Frances Hodgson Burnett and even wrote her in as a character.
The Morganville Vampires is a fun series, I haven't finished it but plan to read the rest of the series soon. The Vampires in this series are not your usual vampires and there are enough differences to make it unique, but it is still a young adult series which means a lot of whiny teenager moments and stupidity. Despite that fact I enjoy it so far just be prepared for the typical teen angst.
I just started A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, it is her first novel and so far I am loving it. It has witches, demons and vampires all living among humans. I wish that she would not switch around from third person to first person but it doesn't take away from the story so that is just a small complaint. I have recently learned it is to be a trilogy so I am very excited to find out what will happen next.
I have downloaded Water for Elephants, The Body Finder and Wicked Lovely recently. I am excited for each of them and am looking forward to letting you know what I think!
As you can tell, I don't really have a specific type of book that I read. I like all different kinds of books and genres. Usually, the cover and description will draw me in and I will decide on what to read after reading a few reviews. Suggestions on anything new are appreciated!
