December Reading Schedule:

Print:

The S*X Tape-Helen Scott/Serena Akeroyd Finally finished this horrible book.  

The Perfect Wife-A.L. Long DNF
Next To Never-ALL DNF
Next To Always-ALL DNF
Next To Forever-ALL DNF
The Bed Wife-Suzanne Lynne Good!  Didn't like all the flashbacks, but still a good story.
Hoosier Noir-J. Travis Grundon, et al Really enjoyed all these stories!
The Blood Stone-Jason Nugent DNF...not my preferred reading style, but to support a friend
The Mad King's Trials-BT Martinson DNF; made it all the way to Ch 6.  Not my preferred genre.
The Partner-John Grisham Enjoyed this reread!
Key of Light-Nora Roberts Enjoyed this reread!



E-book:
Corsets and Quartets-Mercy DeSimone Finally finished!  Made it to maybe 1/4th through, then skimmed until she went to the conference.  Read those chapters (VERY interesting!), then skimmed rest.  Felt there was a lot of 'fluff' which could have been left out, and trimmed this VERY long book (over 400 pages!) in half.
Spectral Vibrations-MD DNF
Railed-MD DNF
For The Love of Skating-Madeline Fay DNF
Chasing Time-Katie May DNF
Written On His Heart-Cathy Jackson Will read this later; all the 1st person books are beginning to wear on me.
