Oooookayyyy!!!! My first blog was a bust...argh...

I will blurb about books and rate on 5 star system.

I had it all evenly spaced out for legibility and when I published it (without previewing)
it all ended up in one big paragraph.

Soooo, here's the second try.
A deep breath for inspiration, and awayyyyy we go. (Jackie Gleason)

I want to state for the record that I buy all my books or read them at the Library.
I abhor Piracy in all it's many incarnations.

Sooo ...there I was...(heeheehee)

MARY WINE---My Fair Highlander---*4*--compelling characters that had me from word one and took me    on a great ride.  Desire sparking from 2 main characters, navigating the Great English? Scots Divide in geography and religion.
 Thouroughly enjoyable!

SHERRILY KENYON-The Guardian-*2.5*-Firstly, I read everything she writes.The Dream Guardian
 series are some of my least favourite of her stories.  This one spent to much time in  hell being tortured and left me feeling blah for the first two thirds.  Last third picked up the pace and the action finally made me feel like the story was going somewhere.
So I'll confess that I sped read thru the draggy parts.
Not one I would gift to another reader.

Devon Monk--Magic on the Line--*3.5*--I am a big fan of her protagonist Allison and she is one gutsy
independent thinking woman, these stories all have great momentum and high stakes.
a solid good read everytime.

RICHELLE MEAD--Succubus Revealed--*3.75*--I have read this whole series and I really enjoyed it.  
The action hums along in this final installment and a lot of questions and issues get wrapped        
up.  Verra satisfying, with her usual great skill in weaving the threads of the stories.
SHADOW HEIR--Dark Swan Book 4--Published January 1st 2012. WoooHooo, I want it now!!

Well Folks this is Blog # 2 and hopefully comes out more legible than the mess of one huge blobby paragraph that was the inaugural attempt.
Which you may all witness at your leisure.

Feedback much appreciated.

Cheersmar
