For those of you keeping score, that puts HELLBENT on my list twice for last week. One TPB and one BOCD. I am a happy fan who will have a kickass commute this week. Oh yes I will.

My August Reads

I read three whole books in August. Just three. At least they were a good three. I would recommend them all.

WICKED GAME (WVMP Radio Series #1) by Jeri Ready-Smith, UF, TPB – This was a fun start to the series.

DOWNPOUR (Graywalker Series #6) by Kat Richardson, UF, HB – I’m still up in the error as to which of the 6 books is my favorite, but this one is a contender. Great location and characters.

BLOODSHOT(Cheshire Red Reports Series #1) UF, BOCD & TPB – Seriously all kinds of awesomeness.

There should have been a fourth book on the list but I’ve had a hard time staying awake and reading or just sitting down to read. My book time suffers.

Finders Keepers: The end of August edition

Here is what made it into the house the last couple of weeks. Some of these are purely for recreation and some of these are for recreational learning.

NIGHTLIFE (A Cal Leandros Novel #1) by Rob Thurman

STORIES FOR NIGHTTIME AND SOME FOR THE DAY by Ben Loory

THY MYTHOLOGY OF SUPERNATURAL by Nathan Robert Brown

HEART OF IRON by Ekaterina Sedia

THE HOUSE OF DISCARDED DREAMS by Ekaterina Sedia

THE BOOK OF CTHULHU Edited by Ross E. Lockhart – I must admit to buying this one because it has a story by Cherie Priest in it.

DRAGONS AND UNICORNS: A NATURAL HISTORY by Paul and Karin Johnsgard

DRAGONS MYTH & LEGEND by Jonathan Evans

FAVORITE FOLKTALES FROM AROUND THE WORLD Edited by Jane Yolen

WORLD MYTHOLOGY: AN ENTHOLGOY OF THE REAT MYTHS AND EPICS, Third Edition by Donna Rosenberg

EYE OF THE TEMPEST (JANE TRUE SERIES #4) by Nicole Peeler
This is the one I went searching for last week. I was a little early.

SUPERNATURAL NOIR edited by Ellen Datlow

THE ANNOTATED H.P. LOVECRAFT edited by S.T. JOSHI

Finders Keepers

I stopped at Barnes & Noble last week looking for a book that as it turns out hadn’t been released yet. While there I ran into one of my book signing cohorts.

NINE LIVES LAST FOREVER (A CATS AND CURIOS MYSTERY #2) by Rebecca M. Hale.


FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT by Darynda Jones
I picked this one up because my book signing cohort said it was good and encouraged me to get it.


THE GRIMM LEGACY by Polly Shulman
I picked this up at Powell’s the week before when I went to J.A. Pitts book signing.
