All right! It’s time for everyone’s post they love to hate because it often leaves very unhappy wallets! March is nearly over (wow!) and hopefully it’s starting to feel a little like spring wherever you are. I know I’m looking forward to bringing my book outside to laze around in the sun.
So let’s get this party started!
Amanda: I mentioned on a previous Whatcha Reading that I had picked up Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy ( A | BN | K | G | ARe | iB | Au ), though I set it back down to read some other things. So I’m reading that again! I need some Dolly Parton-esque, Southern wisdom in my life right about now.
And then I’ll be starting Exposed by Jasinda Wilder ( A | BN | K | G | ARe | iB | Au ), which is the continuation of Madame X. I can’t tell you enough how much the first book just sucked me right in and I’ve put off reading Exposed long enough! I’m expecting another cliffhanger-ish ending since I know there’s another book to come. So if you see any angry caps on Twitter from me in the near future, that may be the culprit.
Sarah: Based on a recommendation via Real People I Know Who I Talk to on Facebook, I’m reading The Queen’s Wings by Jamie K. Schmidt
There are dragons! Dragons all over the place. And the women are being confined by a curse so there are five total female dragons in the world, who are worshipped like queens and get to have sex with whomever they want though they are expected to birth dragons to continue the species and all. It’s first person, so there’s sarcasm and goofiness, and it’s not dark and emotional and scary, which is exactly what I need.
Redheadedgirl: I just finished How the Duke Was Won by Lenora Bell, which is a delightful “You there, bastard daughter of my husband, you look like my daughter enough to be her twin and I need you to pretend to be her so she can land a duke.” Also there’s hot chocolate invovled.
Carrie: Charlotte Bronte: A Fiery Heart by Claire Harman ( A | BN | K | G | ARe | iB )
Sarah: You like?
Carrie: Oh yes, it’s very good! Review pending.
Elyse: I just started Barefoot with the Bodyguard by Roxanne St. Clair ( A | BN | K | G | iB ), but like literally just started so I haven’t formulated an opinion yet
Amanda: Also, I recently received a copy of The Assistants by Camille Perri and 1) I love the cover and 2) it was described to me as a modern day Robin Hood, but with a female executive assistant as Robin Hood and rich big wig CEOs as John.
Redheadedgirl: Ohhhhhh!
Sarah: HELLO.
