Ahoy from the top of the Mountain!!!!

 

It’s been quite a year! I started blogging in May with my sidekick aka my twin sister {Marie K} and have made many great online friends who share my addiction/passion for books.  I’m eternally thankful to have met some of you as you make me giggle incessantly, while I’m at work trying to “play it cool”.   

 

 

 

My Favorite Books for 2009

 

Genre: Best UF Series

Karen Marie Monings Dreamfever and Fever Series { Most of us died a little inside when the book ended, now we are left with stalking KMM’s forums, Amazon, etc for Shadowfever’s release date}

 

Genre: Breakout New UF Book

Nancy Holzner’s Deadtown

 

Genre: Sci-fi

Ann Aguirre’s Grimspace

 

Genre Romantic Suspense:

Skin Game by Ava Gray  {Even though it’s labeled as “paranormal”, plueeze it’s romantic suspense in my book}

 

Genre:  BDSM Erotica

Victoria Dahl’s Wicked West {I’ll never forget this book as it helped to shed my vanilla veneer}

 

Genre Historical/Fantasy

The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker by Leanna Renee Hieber

 

Genre Paranormal Romance Series

Jeanine Frost’s Night Huntress {We all fall a little in love with Bones as we turn the page, with a smile. This is one of my favorite series I’ve read this year}

 

Genre: Paranormal Romance Book {Singular}

Nalini Singh’s Angel’s Blood

 

Genre Young Adult

Shiver by Maggie Shriever

 

Other honorable mentions: J.R. Ward Lover Avenged, Shelly Laurenston’s Mane Squeeze, Jacquelyn Frank’s Rapture,  Ann Aguirre’s Blue Diablo, Lauren Dane’s Laid Bare, Gena Showalter’s Seduce the Darkness, and Larissa Ione’s Pleasure Unbound.

 

My New Years Resolution:

 

1. To annoy, beg, plead {insert puppy dog eyes} for all you bloggers/blog followers still out there not on twitter, to join Twitter!  FVG aka Lovin’ Me Some Romance, Kris from Kris n Books, and Patti from Book Addict.

 

1. For all my followers who haven’t read a m/m romance book,  I want you to try at least one in 2010.  We’ll all work together on this.   We’ll meditate, start off with the nice kiss scene from J.R. Ward’s Blhay and Qhuinn then work up to Josh Layndon.  Deal?

 

1. For my personal goal…to loose these 10 god damn blogger pounds I gained! Oh, and world peace of course.

 

Happy 2010!!!!!!!
