I have been reading myself silly lately. I read all three of the Night Huntress books by Jeaniene Frost AGAIN for the third time. The fourth book is coming out at the end of July and I cannot wait to read it. There is a sample here: www.jeanienefrost.com/destined-for-an-early-grave.html   The characters in her books are amazing.  Bones and Cat's relationship is hands down my favorite in any book I've read, and that is a lot of books.   I just put the new desktop wallpaper on too. 

I also just read the latest book from Kim Harrison, White Witch, Black Curse.  I love this series also and this title is the best one, and by time you've read the others the reader knows Rachel and her friends so well that you are cheering for them to find happiness.  The characters are not always black and white/good and evil in this series.  Things are often rather grey, and it's an ongoing adventure to figure out who is a bad guy and who isn't.   I love the twist on vampires, pixies and gargoyles!  At times I actually giggle out loud when reading.

I'm waiting for the last book in the Anita Blake series from the library.  I couldn't get it at a good price and didn't want to wait, so the library it is!  I know her books are controversial because the later ones in the series are very sexual.  However, after getting to know Anita in all the books and the "boys" as she calls them I'm pretty much okay with the plots.  I'm fascinated with the workings of the different "packs"-the werewolfs, wererats, werepanthers etc.  There is a ton of metaphysical stuff going on with Anita and I'm convinced that the author is working towards a purpose to it all.  Sure, some of the sexual elements are way out there-- and not everyone's cup of tea-- but I still want to know how Anita is going to work it all out in the long run.  The characters are complex and I find myself thinking  "Ewww....that's just wrong" but then I keep reading, fascinated at the same time. 

If you haven't read these authors be sure to check them out!
