W...W...W..ednesday







This weekly meme brought to you by Should Be Reading

The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall• What are you currently reading?

I'm reading Mary Downing Hahn's The Ghost Of Crutchfield Hall right now. It's an ebook I got from NetGalley that really intrigued me.

I love gothic type stories, and this definitely looks to be a good one. The reviews have been pretty good and it seems like a nice bit of light reading between some of the other titles on my TBR list.

It's always good to read a short fun book to keep the brain from getting tired!

Lydia's Charm: An Amish Widow Starts Over in Charm, Ohio• What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished reading Lydia's Charm by Wanda Brunstetter. It is a really heart breaking story of a young Amish widow starting over.

I love Wanda's books. They bring the Amish to life for us "Englishers."  She deals more with romance than some of the religious issues and beliefs that some of the other authors deal with.

This story was also set in a part of Ohio that I'm pretty familar with. It was fun to see places that I've been to, used in a book.

• What do you think you’ll read next?

These are the next two books on my TBR Pile. Spiral X is my next read for the Book Lovin' Bitches Ebook Tours and I'll be reading The Bad Queen for Rex Robot Reviews.


Spiral X
The Bad Queen: Rules and Instructions for Marie-Antoinette (Young Royals)

WWW Wednesday



WWW Wednesday is brought to you by Should Be Reading

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?

What I'm currently reading:

HogfatherAuthor: Terry Pratchett
Title: Hogfather
Book Blurb: What could more genuinely embody the spirit of Christmas (or Hogswatch, on the Discworld) than a Terry Pratchett book about the holiday season? Every secular Christmas tradition is included. But as this is the 21st Discworld novel, there are some unusual twists.

This year the Auditors, who want people to stop believing in things that aren't real, have hired an assassin to eliminate the Hogfather. (You know him: red robe, white beard, says, "Ho, ho, ho!") Their evil plot will destroy the Discworld unless someone covers for him. So someone does. Well, at least Death tries. He wears the costume and rides the sleigh drawn by four jolly pigs: Gouger, Tusker, Rooter, and Snouter. He even comes down chimneys. But as fans of other Pratchett stories about Death (Mort, Reaper Man, and Soul Music) know, he takes things literally. He gives children whatever they wish for and appears in person at Crumley's in The Maul.


Fans will welcome back Susan, Death of Rats (the Grim Squeaker), Albert, and the wizardly faculty of Unseen University, and revel in new personalities like Bilious, the "oh god of Hangovers." But you needn't have read Pratchett before to laugh uproariously and think seriously about the meanings of Christmas.


What I recently finished reading:
A Holiday of Love

Author: Judith McNaught, Jude Deveraux, Jill Barnett & Arnette Lamb
Title: A Holiday Of Love
Book Blurb:  In New York City in the late 1800s, a beautiful but clumsy angel turns a lonely man's life around.... In medieval Scotland, the intrigues of a Christmas Mass imperil two Highland lovers....In Regency London, a world-weary lord receives an outrageous proposal....And in modern-day Colorado, a clever twelve-year-old plays matchmaker for his bighearted but impractical mother.

See my review here


What I plan on reading next:

Planning to LiveThe Phantom of the Opera (Centennial Edition) (Signet Classics)

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…

* What are you currently reading?
* What did you recently finish reading?
* What do you think you’ll read next?


My answers:
What I am currently reading:

Tanith Lee - Darkness I (I may be reading this for the rest of my life)
Mary Aris - Princess Rose (A lovely short ebook)
Laurie Grant - My Lady Midnight



What I recently finished reading:

R.L. Stine - The Third Horror (review to follow)

What I think I will read next:

My next book is likely Catherine Coulter's The Generous Earl. I've been in the mood for regencies lately. But I have three little carts of books I found in the basement to work my way through in the coming weeks. There are a lot of old Candlelight Romances and Silhouettes. Then there's La Popessa that has been on my "To Be Read" pile for the last month and Jen Lancaster's "Such A Pretty Fat" that I wanted to read several weeks ago. I guess it will be whatever I'm in the mood for in the next day or so.
