Reading Spree

ByKristen Koster

A stack of books.It looks like I forgot to update my 2009 Reading List for the last month or so. I’ve kept up to date on Goodreads.com, so it was easy enough to do. I was surprised to see I’d easily sailed past the number of books I recalled reading in 2008(79) and have read 87 books so far this year. Not bad considering there are another 16-17 weeks left in 2009.

So you know I like Regency-set Historical Romances, but that’s far from the only genre I read. This month, I’ve also read more craft of writing books (big surprise, right?), Young Adult (gotta stay ahead of the girl), paranormal, Victorian and contemporary. I also read fantasy and science fiction, but I’ve had too many regencies at hand lately.

The stand outs were Tessa Dare’s Goddess of the Hunt and Surrender of a Siren. I should probably just go pre-orderA Lady of Persuasion now. I’m also curious about her Legend of the Werestag which is an ebook put out by Samhain Publishing earlier this year.

Anyway, that’s what I’ve been reading. How about you, got any good recommendations?

I figured since I talked about it so much, I better share it. The cake was baked as part of my son’s annual Blue & Gold dinner for Cub Scouts. Each year a different theme is chosen for the cake decorations. We’ve done sports & games (a 3-d chess piece), space (a 3-d Vader’s Tie…

Didn’t Get Very Far…

So, we didn’t escape far. We pretended to be tourists and drove down to El Cajon on Friday afternoon to do the Taylor Guitar factory tour with the kids. DH had been a couple years ago, but we thought it might be interesting for the kids since they’re becoming more musically aware and we’re like…

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety-jig

Nothing like heading home right before New Year’s to either get you excited or complete exhausted for the coming year. I’m completely exhausted, but that’s more from getting up at 4 am eastern to sneak up on the airport when my body has refused to make the switch over from pacific time. I doubt I’ll…

Target Word Count

ByKristen Koster

This week my accountability group’s How I Write series asks, “When you’re writing, do you have a wordcount in mind that you HAVE to stick to? What’s your happy WIP word zone? If you don’t have enough, do you try to add more to reach it?” I’m going to tackle this week’s question two different…

#WhyIReadHistoricals and write them too!

This post was originally published on Feb 10, 2012 as “Why I Love Historical Romance”, but I’m dragging it back out because the Historical Romance Network is celebrating all the sub-genres of Historical Romance today on social media with #WhyIReadHistoricals and #WhyIWriteHistoricals and these reasons are all still valid for me. ❧ My accountability group…

Mid-Nov WTH?

This is the weather forecast I was greeted with for the week when I sat down this morning. Sixty-four to eighty-seven? I foresee another round of colds and nonsense in the near future. *sigh* It’s bad enough I haven’t really seen seasons in action for the past dozen years or so, but do we have…

  1. lol, just disappointments except for Grace’s book, which I really liked. I’m reading more craft books too, and can’t even get through the Story structure architect.
