Monday's Beginnings (177)

Well, it's Monday....and I'm late with the post, again. *sigh*  And my sinuses are a mess today.  I hate this crazy weather up, down, up, down.

The week didn't go exactly as I has suspected.  I always seem to take longer than I hope.  I did finish the beta read, and a second one over the weekend.  And finally started Outpost by Ann Aguirre.  I even did a few pages of the Nano project, which I realized I need to keep up with it on a regular bases to remember everything.  So I need to start doing that.

Current Read:
Outpost by Ann Aguirre

Finished Last Week:

I finished the long beta read, and a short one.

Book Chat...on Fey series, which you see me chatting with the authors.

I did not do a Flash Fiction Friday.  I'm going to have to schedule my time better to do this.  I really enjoyed these.  I'll try.

My WANT List...It looks like I've added 7.  Well, that's a step in the right direction...or maybe wrong, *sigh* I want so many, and have to get to the series I've already been reading too! Oh, books.

Won:
I won this book over at Books & Things from Melissa's giveaway.  Eep!

Crimson Frost by Jennifer Estep
Goodreads Synopsis:
For a moment, a face flashed before my eyes—the most hideous face I’d ever seen. No matter how hard I tried to forget what had happened, I saw him everywhere I went. It was Loki—the evil god that I’d helped set free against my will.

I should have known that my first official date with Logan Quinn was destined to end in disaster. If we’d gotten into a swordfight, or been ambushed by Reapers, I’d have been more prepared. But getting arrested mid-sip at the local coffee hangout? I didn’t see that one coming.

I’ve been accused of purposely helping the Reapers free Loki from his prison—and the person leading the charge against me is Linus Quinn, Logan’s dad. The worst part is that pretty much everyone at Mythos Academy thinks I’m guilty. If I’m going to get out of this mess alive, I’ll have to do it myself…

For Review:

Mr. Real by Carolyn Crane
Goodreads Synopsis:
He finds the girl of his dreams…with the secret agent of his nightmares.

Alix Gordon is a woman who doesn’t take life too seriously. What’s the fun in that? So when she stumbles across occult software that can bring any computer image to life, she conjures up lots of awesome outfits and accessories. And then, on one drunken, horny night, she conjures up Sir Kendall, the sexy TV ad spy . . . who looks exactly like Paul Reinhardt, the super-sexy martial arts teacher who kicked her out of class three years ago.

Fighter Paul Reinhardt has good reason to hate Sir Kendall, the character he brought to life to land a part in a TV ad; he’d do anything to forget him. A cross country road trip seems just the thing . . . until Paul finds himself inexplicably drawn to Minnesota and is shocked to discover Sir Kendall - in the flesh - with the girl he’d once loved from afar. He barges into Alix and Sir Kendall’s love nest, determined to stop the madness - somehow.

But is superspy Sir Kendall transforming into something more dangerous anyone can imagine? And what will Sir Kendall do when Paul and Alix finally give into their mad lust for each other?

Well, how was your week last week?  And hoping this one looks like a great one for you.

Here's wishing you all the best in words and pages.
