Looking back at it now, it was a really solid reading year. I mean, it did its usual (for me) thing and meandered its merry way, here and there, up and down, and in fits and starts across the span of all twelve months. But it really did shape up nicely. Which is a good thing, because it was—shockingly, I know—another year in which we so desperately needed the authors and books and words of the world to come through for us. And they did, didn't they? I am, as ever, so grateful for them and their willingness to push through every barrier and battle that I know must try to keep them from putting their visions on paper. And so, as has long been my custom, I record here my list of published books that saw me through the year. Gifts, every one. (listed in the order in which I read them) The Atlas Complex by Olivie Blake Bride by Ali Hazelwood You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian Once Persuaded, Twice Shy by Melodie Edwards Lucky Bounce by Cait Nary Lips Like Sugar by Jes...
I LOVE this cover and am already imagining it on my bookshelf.
ReplyDeleteSo do I, Kristen. I let out a gasp of appreciation the moment I saw it.
DeleteOh yes, I have preordered this. :) Uh huh, we're thinking alike on this one.
ReplyDeleteGood on you, speedy! I can't wait.
Delete* girly squeal*
ReplyDeleteHehe. Precisely.
DeleteI like this cover aside from the fact the model looks a little too young to me.
ReplyDeleteShe does look young. But then the original one looked way old to me. And, uh, WELL-ENDOWED.
DeleteI want to get a copy of this too!
ReplyDeleteI just can't envision not having it on my shelf!
DeleteNice! Much more like my idea of Kate.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I hope this means new covers for the rest of the series!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be sweet?
DeleteNice. I'll have to preorder this one since I'm curious about the bonus material (!).
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday. We moved yesterday and things are crazy. I tried to comment twice using my laptop without luck. I also loved the pictures of your children.

I know! I'm hoping for Curran POVs and maybe some stuff we haven't read.
DeleteThanks so much, Karen. I can't believe you're moved! I know how crazy that can be. Hope unpacking and settling in goes smoothly for you.
Thanks, Angie. Now that I'm able to use my desktop computer, the world feels right again! I'm ignoring the chaos behind me... K
DeleteI wonder what that first time in print thing will be. I think they blogged about it, but I just forgot. I already own all of the books, but I doubt I'll be able to resist getting a copy of this, simply because I'm a Kate and Curran addict.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm thinking possibly some Curran POV stuff, but I can't remember for sure.
DeleteLove finding fellow addicts, btw. I am an unrepentant one. :)
Oh man. Why do publishers do this to us?!
ReplyDeleteI know, Christine. It's impossible to resist!
