This was not my first Julie James book. ...Hi Brie, <br />This was not my first Julie James book. I read <i>Practice Makes Perfect</i> a few years ago and thought it was great. So funny the way those two were fighting all the time. <br /><br />I think Eloisa James' <i>How Beauty Tamed the Beast</i> would be a great book to spark your historical romance reading again. Or <i>Silk is For Seduction</i> by Loretta Chase. That was a great one, too. <br /><br />Brandy, I hope November brings just as many A grades as October! Hope you're reading some great books too! <br /><br />Alex, a lot of readers seem to adore this Eloisa James book, so maybe give it a try. It's my first book by her, so I really can't give you a comparison. Ooo! I have a signed copy of <i>A Lot Like Love</i> on my TBR shelf [from RWA in July}. I will bump it up! <br /><br />orannia, Definitely borrow <i>I Love the Earl</i> from the library, although there isn't a whole lot of emphasis on Wales, so don't be too disappointed. The novella is really well written, which I think must be so difficult to do with such limited word count. Linden did a great job with it. <br /><br />nath, I started reading <i>Archangel's Consort</i>, but had to put it down for a bit and focus on the library books that are due back with no more renewals! <br /><br />I'm so happy we agreed on the Higgins book. You're a tougher critic than I. ; ) <br /><br />samantha, I just had to give <i>Grave Secret</i> five stars on goodreads. It really was a great final story in the series. Couldn't really think of anything negative about it at all and know it ended best for Harper. Have you read Harris' Aurora Teagarden series?Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-38972334886983335252011-11-06T18:42:19.303-05:002011-11-06T18:42:19.303-05:00It sounds like you had a really great month of rea...It sounds like you had a really great month of reading in October!! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed Grave Secret as much as I did...I was bummed when I heard that there were no more books coming out. I hope that November is just as good of a reading month for you!samantha.1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-86251871576674195022011-11-05T17:58:05.551-04:002011-11-05T17:58:05.551-04:00Indeed a great month, Christine :) Awesome month a...Indeed a great month, Christine :) Awesome month actually :) So glad you enjoyed all the books you read - that is soooo rare!<br /><br />I really liked Archangel's Kiss. So far, it is still my favorite in that series. <br /><br />I resisted to the Eloisa James for so long... and shouldn't have :) I loved the banter between the H/H!! Like you say, it was intelligent and witty :)<br /><br />And of course, the Kristan Higgins :)nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-12232842981251407982011-11-05T01:29:49.519-04:002011-11-05T01:29:49.519-04:00Fantastic reading month Christine!

(Which I'd like to say says way more about me that about the heroines :)<br /><br />And I Love The Earl has me curious. I love reading about Wales (and Ireland)! Luckily my library has it, so YAH!<br /><br />Happy reading for November :)oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-32042828492379393642011-11-04T13:49:51.066-04:002011-11-04T13:49:51.066-04:00I have the Eloisa James one in my reading dock, I ...I have the Eloisa James one in my reading dock, I thought it sounded good though I'm no big fan of James' books.<br /><br />and Something About you I think it's my least favorite of Julie James's books so far, I liked the following one (A Lot Like Love) loads better.<br /><br />:DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-73969793138671363232011-11-03T21:41:27.808-04:002011-11-03T21:41:27.808-04:00Looks like some fabulous books!

You...Was this your first time reading Julie James?! You need to read Practice Makes Perfect, it’s nothing like this one, it’s heavier on the comedy aspect and there’s no suspense to it. The leads are lawyers competing for a promotion and they try to sabotage each other, it’s just hilarious!<br /><br />I need to read Eloisa James’ book, I Beauty and the Beast type of stories, that’s probably one of my favorite tropes in romance. And I haven’t read a good historical in a while, so this one might break the curse!Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694232807189281284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-4662150326441384582011-11-03T17:30:54.281-04:002011-11-03T17:30:54.281-04:00Hi Linda!

There are two novella's. <i>Winter's Passage</i> and <i>Summer's Crossing</i> and they're only available in ebook format. I suggest you download <i>Summer's Crossing</i> now while it's free. I think you can skip <i>Winter's Passage</i>--most of it is repeated in the book that follows anyway. Thanks for visiting. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-43169174544852321592011-11-03T17:24:13.663-04:002011-11-03T17:24:13.663-04:00Great month.

Maybe I really do need to check out the Harper Connelly Series by Charlaine Harris...I also can't wait to read the Iron Fey Series and I know that book 1 will be read in the next couple of months thanks to you. :-) *reminder to self, there are novellas for the series*. :-) Ever since I've learned about novellas that authors use to supplement their readers between book releases I have vowed to read them while catching up with a series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
