She is a darling and a dear and she writes yummy contemporary romance with what I consider a perfect mixture of heart and heat. *sigh* I vlogged my love of the first book in this series (in a polka dot wiggle dress!)

New Releases January 1

Happy New Year!

I am using a painfully slow internet connection in the Caribbean to write this so it will be shortish. I know! I know! poor poor pitiful me! 😛

I am so excited about what’s in store for this upcoming year. There are some new things coming soon to The Book Tart… Like the wish list *sigh* soon! I hope. *head/desk*

I actually use the |show pages starting at 1| function on the upper left and request… honestly? all 900 and then sit and scroll through them. 😉 I also use the Advanced Search function to make the list more manageable.

Book Haul, Sunday August 5th

I’m looking for a good meme to join to share my book buying obsession… but of course I didn’t think of that till now and the ones I found you are supposed to be signed up by 12am Saturday and I’m too, too, too late for this post! <g> Have you read Eloise at the Plaza? It’s a great children’s book written by Kay Thompson and the nanny repeats many things three times. Whenever I repeat things I think of that… But I got off track. I do that a lot. My thoughts are like bunnies and don’t behave themselves and often go off on rabbit trails. 🙂 I was going to show you my new books.

Well, if you remember from last Saturday and my vlog on Andrew Shaffer’s Fifty Shames of Earl Grey, I said I was going to buy it, and I did, plus a few more.

I am currently reading Ilona Andrew’s new book Gunmetal Magic. I also bought Jean Johnson’s An Officer’s Duty, Molly Harper’s The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires, Moonglow by Kristen Callihan and Thirteen by Kelley Armstrong.

Sooo, all these books added to my massive To Be Read pile, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and I hope to get to them soon. This website has been a dream for me, to have a place to share my passion for fiction and to have a database to browse through new books by date, but it’s a lot more fracking work than I ever imagined! <g> I need to learn to manage my time better and get back to reading as much as I used to. Right now I’m lucky to finish 2 or 3 books a week when I used to get 5-6 read. *sigh* this learning curve threw off my groove man!

Oh! I also bought Shiloh Walker’s newest ebook written as J.C. Daniels. When it comes out in print I will buy that too. I loved this urban fantasy novel and to get the word out I am having a contest. Click here to enter. The more entries I get the more books I’ll give out. I am hoping to intrigue more readers to try the book and fall in love with it like me so there will be sequels! :p

Be sure to visit my New Fiction Release Database there are over 330 new books coming out this Tuesday, August 7th. *woot!*

The Book Tart Episode 12- Review of The Fireman Who Loved Me

I want a fireman! <g> I finally read Jennifer Bernard’s The Fireman Who Loved Me and I am regretting not snagging it from my TBR pile earlier. I mostly read PNR and UF but have just recently began adding some contemporary romance back in the mix. I soooo enjoyed this book! The characters are very well developed and felt real. I loved watching the dance between Melissa and Captain Brody. The dialogue is witty and snarky and fun and there is some steamy fun in this story too. I blazed through the book and am excited that I have book 2, Hot For Fireman waiting for me and I just checked Jennifer’s site http://jenniferbernard.net/extras.php and book 3 is scheduled for January 2013!

Win a copy of one of my fav books this year- Blade Song + My Review

I read Blade Song one afternoon last week and didn’t want the book to end. It’s that good. I love urban fantasy, worlds that are recognizable but have fantasy elements like magic, shape changers and vampires to name a few… plus desserts with zero calories (I made that up :p I would totally pack up and move to a fantasy world where that was true! 🙂 )

 

This book was written by one of my long time fav authors Shiloh Walker. She writes delicious contemporary and paranormal romance including The Hunter’s series and now she’s adding to her resume  writing under the pseudonym of J.C. Daniels. The books written under the J.C. Daniels name will be urban fantasy and occasionally erotic romance titles. Her first urban fantasy title is Blade Song and the heroine started out in a short story you can read here it’s called A Stroke of Dumb Luck and Kit just wouldn’t stop telling her story to Shiloh, sooo she had to write more. Yay!  I’m all for it! <g> More Shiloh to love!
