heartreads

  The second theme for #readit2011 was #heartreads.  I started several books which I decided not to finish, one for reasons of cruelty between the characters and one because it was an action book without enough action.  I also have a few books underway that I will comment on in March, when I finish them. Several of these titles were read as e-books.

• Jennifer Crusie The Cinderella deal – academic meets artist
• Jennifer Crusie Trust me on this – a series of misunderstandings, scams and HEA
• Gil McNeil The beach street knitting society and yarn club – woman starting life in smaller town after husband was killed in car crash, just after he asked for a divorce.  Quirky characters and knitting.
• Gil McNeil Needles and pearls- continuation of the above, not HEA but happy and hopeful
• Garth Nix Drowned Wednesday
• Garth Nix Sir Thursday
• Garth Nix Lady Friday
• Gath Nix Superior Saturday
• Garth Nix Lord Sunday This was a very interesting series as working through the days of the week, the story builds with reality and fantasy coming together.  It is quite a dark series, but with wonderful humour around the naming of some characters as well.
• Eli Neiburger Gamers…in the library  This is a solid introduction to mainly games tournaments in public libraries.  
• Jamie Oliver Jamie’s 30 minute meals – what’s not to like?  They work and are interesting
• Matthew Reilly Contact (as downloadable audiobook).  I have read this before, but it is still a fun read, and a reminder of why libraries need a good digitisation program with excellent offsite backup
• Georgette Heyer The convenient wife – not a good one, characters not likeable and story a very long bow
• Georgette Heyer The devil’s cub – this was a fun romp
