book slut

I have read five books in the first quarter of this year, which just about matches my total for all of 2005. Go me.

What I've figured out is that smut is very motivating -- the Merry Gentry books have accounted for four out of the five so far this year. Sure, I could aim for scholarship or lit'ratchure. But, for now, books that get me hot and bothered are just fine. :)

Thanks, chaosdruid for supporting this endeavor with your loan of books. I started by re-reading books one and two (like ya do), but was baffled reading Stroke of Midnight. Stuff just seemed missing, scenes I'd remembered quite vividly. Only they weren't there when I went back to book two again. This resulted in a great deal of teasing about my vivid fantasy life from agrnmn (who has now also read them, and liked them). Huh. Seems there's a book between those two, which I now own. Let me know if you need it?

Next on the list are a good re-read of the Kushiel's Dart series, and finding something loaned to me a few years ago that also had fabulous sex in it. ::whistles to self::

UPDATE: Right. Elizabeth Haydon -- Rhapsody, Prophecy, Destiny. A trilogy, natch.

No, giving them to you out of order was a brain fart on my part. I do have all 4, but since you only requested the first 3 I rather thought you had the 4th. Then I gave you the wrong ones. Erk. Sorry about that.

No sweat. I didn't own any of them, so it was a win no matter what. Now, I own one. :)
