Much like last month, my must-read list this month is intense. It’s so hard to narrow it down to the top few, but I’ll give it ago: The Iron Knight, Flesh and Blood, Dearly, Departed and A Touch of Crimson. Which books top your must-read list for October?
October 4th is going to kick my wallet’s ass.
I’ve got at least 4 books that I’d like to get and they are:
-Serpent’s Kiss by Thea Harrison
-Angels of Darkness anthology featuring Nalini Singh, Ilona Andrews, Meljean Brook
-Forbidden Embers by Tessa Adams (Dragon’s Heat #3)
And
Werewolf in the North Woods by Vicki Lewis Thompson
What’s that sound you here? It’s the sound of my husband and Visa weeping.
I can completely relate to the husband and Visa weeping. LOL. Somehow I only purchased three books this weekend, despite a trip to B&N and Half-Price Books. I’m not sure how I made it out under $20, but it happened.
Then again, the titles on this list weren’t available.
Serpent’s Kiss and Angel Town!
