Monday's Beginnings (44)

Here we are again... another Monday.

How are you faring in reading at the beginning of this week?  Are you starting a new book or finishing one up?

I did get reading done today, just not as much as I was hoping too.  But that seems to be the going rate anymore.  I always want to get so much more reading time in and life is always happening. :)  As for the books I've been working on...  I finished Tracking the Tempest By Nicole Peeler and the review is up for you to read, click here.  I am working on The Left Hand of God By Paul Hoffman at the moment, and hoping to finish it up by Wednesday then I get to start into an ARC I received this past week... that one is going to show up in my Received books later in the post here.  I am really looking forward to it... Okay, the name is Waking the Witch By Kelley Armstrong.

Now, back to Tracking the Tempest by Nicole Peeler.  I want to remind you all I will have an interview to post on July 1st!  July 1st is the official release date for Tracking the Tempest.  AND... Nicole has agreed to give one luck commenter on that interview (choosen with random.org) a copy of Tracking the Tempest!  Cool or what!?!  Make sure you stop back by!  Remember JULY 1st!

Okay back to my books.  I hate to admit it, but I gave up on Wolf Hall.  I just couldn't do it.  Trying to widen my horizons, but this one didn't work.  Oh well, there are gazillions of other books to read.

Now, as for my Wishlist... I had to limit the books I added this week to be only 6.  I am only adding books I really truly want to read.  And well, you all are making it hard on me as I really want a LOT of books.  So thank you all!  I will get to them eventually. :)

Books Received This Week:

As I did not purchase or receive any won books this week.  I did receive...
Books For Review:

I have been wanting to get to Kelley Armstrong's books and this was a great opportunity to dive right in.  This is book 11 in the Otherworld Series.  And it is due out July 27, 2010.

Synopsis from publisher:

Golden girl of the supernatural world, orphaned daughter of a dark witch and a conniving sorcerer, Savannah Levine has nothing to lose and everything to prove on her first solo case as a paranormal investigator.

She’s got a wide arsenal of spells at her fingertips, many that only she knows.

She’s got a tough-as-nails attitude and an even sharper wit.

She’s got one problem though . . . no one thinks she can handle this on her own.

Savannah has the power . . . and she’s not afraid to use it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At twenty-one, Savannah Levine—orphaned daughter of a notorious dark witch and an equally notorious cutthroat sorcerer—considers herself a full-fledged member of the supernatural race that rules the Otherworld. The once rebellious teen has grown into a six-foot-tall, motorcycle-riding jaw-dropper with a full arsenal of spells that she’s not afraid to use when she gets caught in a bind. There’s only one small problem—her adoptive parents, Paige and Lucas, don’t always trust her. Of course, she’s given them plenty of reasons . . . but those are in the past. People can change, right?


When Paige and Lucas take off on a romantic vacation alone, leaving her in charge of their detective agency, Savannah is presented with a case that she can’t turn down, and one she can finally call her own. Recruited by another supernatural detective, she travels to Columbus, Washington, a small, almost shell of a town. Two troubled young women have been found in an abandoned warehouse, murdered. Now a third woman is dead, and darker forces seem to be at play.

Savannah feels certain she can handle the case, but with supernatural activity appearing at every turn, things quickly become more serious—and far more dangerous—than she realizes. Caught up in a web of lust, false identities, and lies, Savannah must summon strength from her depths, and fight like she’s never fought before.

Tyger Tyger is an ebook I requested over at NetGalley.  (Did you read my post from earlier today on NetGalley? If not check it out, here. I would visit there if I where you.  GREAT site!)  This one may take me a little longer to get through only because I will be reading it from my laptop, but I am looking forward to it.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Teagan Wylltson's best friend, Abby, dreams that horrifying creatures--goblins, shape-shifters, and beings of unearthly beauty but terrible cruelty--are hunting Teagan. Abby is always coming up with crazy stuff, though, so Teagan isn't worried. Her life isn't in danger. In fact, it's perfect. She's on track for a college scholarship. She has a great job. She's focused on school, work, and her future. No boys, no heartaches, no problems.

Until Finn Mac Cumhaill arrives. Finn's a bit on the unearthly beautiful side himself. He has a killer accent and a knee-weakening smile. And either he's crazy or he's been haunting Abby's dreams, because he's talking about goblins, too . . . and about being The Mac Cumhaill, born to fight all goblin-kind. Finn knows a thing or two about fighting. Which is a very good thing, because this time, Abby's right. The goblins are coming.
 
Another cool week and a great one on the horizon.
 
So, how are you faring this week so far?  Does it look like a great reading week this week? 
 
Here's to hoping you have a great week in words and pages.
