What Are You Reading?

I finished reading the Vivian Vaughn book, Silver Surrender.  And it was ok.  The story was fine.  It just didn't thrall me.  From the library I picked up The Good Girl's Guide to Rakes by Eva Leigh.  It's her latest release.  I'm almost 3/4 of the way through and so far so good.  Not sure yet if I'll end up buying it for my keeper shelves though.  

I finished reading the book by Eva Leigh.  I really enjoyed and ended up buying a copy for my keeper shelves.  Right now I'm rereading the Inferno Club series by Gaelen Foley.  I'm almost done with book one, My Wicked Marquess.   

kc Great news on the health front!

Currently reading Ormsley by Jenny Hambly, I was in the mood for a shorter historical romance after reading a few longer contemporaries and SF, this book is nicely written and looks to be a clean read. Our hero is on the hunt for a wife but is struggling to find one that meets his rather strict criteria. Bit of a serious chap but he does have a soft and kind side, the heroine is a little eccentric but not too outlandish. Bk 4 of the series, might need to check a few of the others.

Finished reading Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus yesterday. Prior to starting I was expecting a humorous read (thanks for the warning kay1) but overall I found it to be a very sad read. It covers a lot of heavy issues that left me feeling grateful that I wasn't born in my Mums generation, especially as someone who majored in the sciences at Uni. There are a lot of funny moments, quite a few scenes had me laughing out loud but in between I was occasionally reaching for the kleenex. Admired the strength of Elizabeth Zott who kept plodding on despite all the hardships. Loved the dog, his narration provided some balance, there were also a lot of lovely secondary characters. Ends on a positive note, but I finished it with a very sad feeling in my heart. Well worth the read, will probably me my pick for the month.

I finished rereading the first three books of the Inferno Club series by Gaelen Foley.  I'm going to skip book 4 because it basically wraps up what happened in the first three books.  I'll probably read book 5, skip #6 and read #7, but not yet.  After rereading the books, I realized that there's always a body count in her books.  I reread To Love a Stranger by Connie Mason over Easter weekend.  Now I'm reading Nothing but Velvet by Kat martin.  I've only read one other book by her but I enjoyed it.  Hopefully, I'll enjoy the other books I have from her as well.

I just read an oldie by Mary Jo Putney, The Bargain, which I enjoyed.  The heroine thinks she is marrying a dying man to gain her inheritance and the hero is gaining financial security for his sister.  There are several secondary characters that I liked, especially the sister and the hero's Scottish doctor, who have an entertaining romance I almost liked better than the MC's.
I also reread Georgette Heyer's The Convenient Marriage which I enjoyed, although I don't generally like her stories with very young (17 years old) heroines as much as her others.   And the hero was 35, so I'm not sure I bought into this romance.  It does have Heyer's great writing, though.

ariane Thanks for that link, never knew it existed. Adds an interesting dimension to the books. I will use it on my next reread. shame the songs weren't included in the audiobooks.
