September Reads

September was the month of re-reads for me. While recommending reads on a forum, I pulled out a few titles I hadn't read in years and years and suddenly had a craving to read them again. Imagine my surprise when the month ends and I realized I didn't read anything new in the entire month! So, although I need to finish the last book in a series I reread this month, October is going to be a month of all new reads for me (minus the one book which I've already finished LOL)! So here were my reads for September:

Amber Beach by Elizabeth Lowell   5+/5. This is the first book in the series, and one of the best romantic suspense books I've ever read. Truth be told this whole series is really a home run. I highly highly recommend this book.








Jade Island by Elizabeth Lowell  5+/5. Probably my favorite in the entire series. This book really has it all, compelling characters, a fast paced plot that draws you in from the beginning, and everything in between.

 Pearl Cove by Elizabeth Lowell 5/5. Not quite as superb as the other books in the series, but well deserving of a five. An excellent addition to a great series.













Sea Swept, Rising Tides, and Inner Harbor By Nora Roberts. All three 5/5. One of Nora Roberts best in my opinion. Having already read the fourth one in the first few days of October, I can tell you that I did not want this series to end. I just wanted to continue seeing into their lives. An excellent example of everything a contemporary romance can be.



So those were my September reads. What were yours?

And We're Good!

Alright, it seems like most of the major tweaks have been fixed. There might still be a few minor ones needed in the upcoming days, but I think the design held up pretty well in the transfer. It's a bit more whimsical than the previous one. A bit softer. I also have a few tweaks planned for my website and when I finish with those, the blog and the website will feel more connected. Not the same, but the color scheme is similar.

What do you think of the new blog design?

Under Construction

I'm going to be uploading a customized template today to the blog. Since I've never done this before, I ask for patience if things look a bit...off today. Hopefully it will be easier than anticipated and up and running before we know it!
