November was a bit of a rocky month reading wise. I was insanely busy, so not much of it got done. A lot of the books seemed to come out as average rating wise. That being said, of course I still have to crown a best book and that is--Kiss of Frost by Jennifer Estep! It earned 4/5 stars, which is not at all bad in it's own right. More importantly, it stood out because I believe this series is going to build to something pretty spiffy, and I can't wait to see that happen. You can read my full review HERE.
We have quite the line up for December, because I got slightly off track of my November list. These are the books that you can expect to see reviewed here on Reading to Penguins!
Sebastian by Anne Bishop
How I ended up reading this one at all is something of a story in itself. I'm about 1/4 of the way into it, so look forward to that review sometime early next week.Magic Slays by Ilona Andrews I promised to read this one in November, but got sidetracked by aliens and Anne Bishop!
A Kiss at Midnight by Eloisa James
Immortal Rider by Larissa Ione
Envy by J.R. Ward
Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost
Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs
As always if your interested in reading along, doing a guest review, or have something that you'd like to see reviewed in January, email me at cmspencer8@yahoo.com. Happy Reading!
The Mercy Thompson series is one of my favourites! I really hope you enjoy that one!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have been meaning to try books by Larissa Ione and JR Ward for ages but other things keep getting in the way! I will read some of their books one day *sigh*
Destined For An Early Grave!!! YESSSS!! Cat + Bones = AWESOMNESS XD
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your review. And I just started reading the Kate Daniels series! So excited for Magic Slays!!
Chrissie--I'll admit I'm a bit worried about Silver Borne because I found Bone Crossed rather average, but I've had series make bigger come backs.
ReplyDeleteSarah--I'm loving Cat and Bones! The Night Huntress series is one that consistently works for me, and it's the characters that make it awesome. I hope you'll stop by to Destined for an Early Grave with us!
Magic Slays is really good - but I will say that it's a wee bit of a first novel; the worldbuilding is heavy (but awesome) - the rest of the series is INCREDIBLE. Love those books! I've read all the Kate Daniels stories multiple times. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like January will be a wonderful reading month for you! I wish I could go back and read Magic Slays and Silver Bourne for the first time, again...
BJ--No one does world building like Ilona Andrews! I'm looking forward to it big time!
