Happy first day of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere! And happy first day of spring in the Southern Hemisphere! The weather hasn’t changed much here in Southeast Michigan (yet), but my reading habits have. How’s your TBR Challenge going?
After all the reading time I found during my trip to the UK last month, September has been rather disappointing. I haven’t finished a single book this month, though I am in the middle of three: a novel (Deadly Proof, the fourth book in M. Louisa Locke’s Victorian San Francisco Mystery series), and two research books (Regency Spies [which isn’t actually helping me, but it’s quite interesting] and To Hell Or Monto [which has been very useful]).
I’ve been writing a lot lately, though, which is why my reading time has been so abysmal. Characters are talking to me for books I haven’t even outlined yet, and that’s not a bad thing (especially with three–yes three!–releases scheduled for next year). It just means that I’ll have to make adjustments to my daily schedule yet again 🙂
Hi Cora! 113 books to date. I have been doing some rereads & not tracking them – Lord of Scoundrels, which is a comfort read, and the follow up The Mad Earl’s Bride. I finished the last book in a series by Catherine Bybee. Now starting, finally, Spindle Cove. The new Tessa Dare book is coming out next week and Tessa is coming to my book club in Oct. I know Carol is seeing her & all of the authors at HRR this week! So jealous! Congratulations on your writing endeavors, Cora!

113 books? Rock ‘n’ roll! I loved Lord of Scoundrels, but somehow didn’t realize there was another book that went with it–I’m putting The Mad Earl’s Bride on my list 🙂 Have fun at your book club with Tessa next month!!

The Mad Earl’s Bride is a novella. I think you can get it on it’s own as an ebook, or I have it in an anthology called Three Weddings and a Kiss. 🙂

I have read 43 books to date this year including 6 in September. Attending the Historical Romance Retreat was amazing but I’m now behind with my reviews with four to do. I’m determined to finish these and post them before I start reading another book. It’s difficult because I have two books I really want to read, Do You Want to Start a Scandal, the latest in Spindle Cove series from Tessa Dare and Duke of Pleasure, the latest in Elizabeth Hoyt’s Maiden Lane series.

Thanks for the list! I can feel my TBR pile growing…again 🙂
I got Do You Want to Start a Scandal, but haven’t had a chance to read it yet either. We’ll both get to it eventually, I’m sure 🙂
