Books, books, and more books.


I LOVE BOOKS! That might not be that unusual but I also love all different genres of books. I read Science fiction, Christian fiction, Historical fiction, non fiction, Westerns, Teen books, kids books, and yes I like a good Vampire book. I've loved Vampires and Werewolves WAY before the Twilight books. I'm a bookseller at a retail book store so I get to be around books all day long. I've been a bookseller for two stores at different times so I've been doing this for over 13 years. Recently, with the advancement of ebook readers I've become a Nookseller, as well, selling Nook ebook readers, accessories, and ebooks. I have a Nookcolor which is wonderful and one of the best Christmas presents I've ever gotten. I can carry THOUSANDS of books around with me and read as much as possible. When I thought about writing a blog, I thought why not write about the wonderful, and the not so wonderful books that I am reading. Maybe give somebody a behind the cover look at a book they are thinking about reading or helping them discover a new series. A way to share my love of books and the true joy that they can bring.

Witchful Thinking by H. P. Mallory

This is the third book in the Jolie Wilkins series and the first book in print form, the first two being ebooks only. Ms. Mallory goes over some of the history of the others books in this one, more so than normal, because of readers picking up this series for the first time. I didn't think it was over done though, since it had been awhile since I read book two, I was glad of the reminders. After the huge battle in book two, Jolie has been crowned Queen of the Underworld. She of course doesn't have a clue what she's doing. After Rand asks her to marry him in the past but doesn't remember doing it in the present. Jolie realizes she's going to have to tell him that she's the one who broke his heart and almost broke him in the past but she's afraid she may lose him forever. There are lots of old enemy's in this one and of course there is Sinjin, the hot vampire who wants her no matter what, but could she trust him with her heart when she knows deep down it will always belong to Rand? Right when she thinks she has the whole Queen thing figured out and that she and Rand can work things out she finds out that just because she has the present worked out that doesn't mean she's in control of the past. I enjoyed Witchful Thinking, it was a nice addition to the series and I look forward to the next one. This was an advance copy through Netgalley.com and Random House Publishing Group.
