Quickies - Holiday Reads that aren’t Year of Living Contemporary appropriate

  • The School for Brides - Cheryl Ann Smith. Loved the premise, and all the stuff with the ex-courtesans. The main romance was a bit generic.
  • Dragon Bound - Thea Harrison. First 1/4: what the heck is everyone going on about. Last 3/4: OH MY GOD THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!! The End: Thank God the sequel is out already!!
  • Shadow Kin - MJ Scott. It’s always tricky when you know the author in real life, and think she’s pretty groovy, and then you have to read her book and you’re all ‘what if I hate it?’ but pretty much this is the absolute opposite, and I’m all, ‘I have to tone down my love because otherwise she’ll think I’m blowing smoke up her ass’ because it’s that awesome. 
  • Heartless - Gail Carriger. Don’t read this one without reading the other three. First, because they’re awesome, and you’d be missing out. Second, because you’ll miss all the awesome nuances. But mostly because this one sort of goes back to everything you loved about the first one, and you won’t get that wonderful sigh of contentment as you settle in to read.
