The Kouros Marriage Revenge.

• I thought I have two more Abby Green stories to read, but it turns out The Brazilian's Blackmail Bargain = The Brazilian Billionaire's Bride (From the anthology His Irish Bride) . So only 1 left? :(
  

• Favourite part of The Kouros Marriage Revenge is.. *spoilers?* When Alexandros went on his knees and whiped out the RING. The RING. *End spoilers?* I'm easy, I know. ♥

• Abby Green's next book: Ruthless Greek Boss, Secretary Mistress. Dec 4? This sucks.

What was I thinking?

• Damn reading for being such a time consuming thingy?

• I take that back. Thank you for allowing me to escape.
  

• Totally grateful to any time I have for reading.

• Totally grateful that I can read.

• Totally grateful that romance novels exist.

• I managed to read a little more of Something about Emmaline (by Elizabeth Boyle) . I'm glad I don't have to wait to long to read about Emmaline in action! That gal rocks.
  

Reading = Hours. Whatever.

• To me, you can't just spare an hour a day to read. I need...10 hours straight for it. Maybe 7-8 hours to read and then the remaining hours thinking about it. Or maybe more.
  

• But currently that's all I have. An hour, actually half an hour or so a day, for reading.

• I tried reading Something about Emmaline by Elizabeth Boyle in those hour / half-hours. Nope not working. The story seems cute from the start, it's meant to be read in one shot. Hell most books are.

• Damn reading for being such a time consuming thingy.

for the love of pete.

• Cute.

• Really. That part where Dante asked Zoey where she goes on a date, and then when Zoey goes on on how you can figure a guy out if you go on a date with him at the museum. Seriously cute.

• I wasn't actually looking for some suspense story to read, but still I picked up for the love of pete because I'm super curious: does Julia Harper write like Elizabeth Hoyt? Yea imo. Because I so love those conversations. ☺

• And it's hot. ♥

Reaching the end of October '09...

• Slow reading month for me.
  

• Finished Megan Hart's Dirty yesterday. I liked it. Loved Dan.
  

• Planing to read either Abby Gaines or Elizabeth Hoyt (Julia Harper?) next. Or maybe some new-to-me author.
  

• Have I mentioned how much I love logging on to Google Reader and learning about the romance reading world? It's so dramatic.
  

I want to do the Top 16 thing too.

In short, a number of blogs are naming their top 16 romances as a tribute to Kathleen Winsor, as suggested by Maili and Jessica. I don't know them, but I want to join in, and say thank you. ☺

My top 16 (in no particular order) that I can think of now:

• Out of Control by Shannon Mckenna. I love Davy. LOVE him. And his brothers. And friends.

• The French Tycoon's Pregnant Mistress by Abby Green. ♥

• Wish You Were Here by Christie Ridgway. I love it that the hero is temporary blind for the good long part of the book. Love is blind. Heheh.
  

• Wicked by Jill Barnett. And Wild, and Wonderful. Za best medieval romance evah.

• No Rest For The Wicked by Kresley Cole. Sebastian!
  

• Corbin's Fancy by Linda Lael Miller. That's me, Fancy.

• My Prerogative by Sasha White. Favorite read of 2008.

• Ex, Why and Me by Susanna Carr. It's all the talking.
  

• Pleasures of the Night by Sylvia Day. Aidan just totally adores Lyssa. I want to be the recipient of that adoration.

• Heaven, Texas by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. It's the grovelling. And no, I've not read Kiss an Angel yet.
  

• Simple Jess by Pamela Morsi. And every other book by her.

• High Stakes by Erin McCarthy. This is my absolute fav in her vampire series. I like how Ethan is fascinated by Alexis. And damn it's funny.
  

• Teaming Up by Abby Gaines. I still have a lot of her backlist I've not read.
  

• A Very Special Delivery by Linda Goodnight. This book is still free.

• Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson. I think this book made me cry the worst to date. I think.
  

• The Belgariad and The Malloreon by David Eddings. I'm not cheating. There's lots of romance going on in them.

I know I know, I'm doing it wrong, it's like my top 16 authors, instead of 16 titles, but...

Finished a book. Happy feelings. But...

The Leopard Prince *Double Thumbs Up*

• I read The Leopard Prince last weekend accompanied by the flu and sore throat. Lots-of-non-stop-coughing stopped by and stayed too.
  

• I tell myself I'm not doing a book justice if I read it when I'm sick. But-
  

• The point of this post is to say, I wasn't in my best reading mood, and yet I still continued reading The Leopard Prince, and still enjoyed it a whole damn lot. Thank you Elizabeth Hoyt. You're gooood.
