It's December already... scary no? And it's freaking cold!! Apparently, -15C tonight... which is nothing compared to other places... but still freezing. Also, we got snow... not too much, but we'll definitively be spending a white Christmas... especially with the amount of snow they are forecasting for tomorrow night (apparently 30cm, ugh). Not really looking forward to it...
Books are another story though. As you can see, November was a so-so month. Also, there weren't many books I was anticipating. December, however, is always a great month since it's Christmas... So here are the books I'm looking forward to:
Blood Dreams by
Kay Hooper - Dec. 31 (Hardcover)
*I've already pre-ordered it LOL
This book was supposed to be released in July, but was pushed back in December. I really can't wait for it. It's the first book of the new Blood trilogy of the SCU (Special Crime Unit) by
Kay Hooper. Apparently, this trilogy is going to be a bit different as in the plot of the three books are connected (as in, it's a continuous story). Definitively looking forward to it and I hope we'll see some previous characters. I know that Bishop is in it (duh)... and Hollis.
The Haunting of Josie by
Kay Hooper - Dec. 26
*I've already pre-ordered it too :P
Another book by
Kay Hooper. This is a re-print of one of her earlier works. I don't know much about this one to tell the truth... but to have the name of
Kay Hooper on the cover is enough for me to look forward to it.
Elijah by
Jacquelyn Franks - Dec. 25
This is the third book of the
NightWalkers series featuring Elijah... This series focus mainly on demons, although there are other paranormal creatures. If I'm not wrong, the heroine is a werewolf... actually, the queen of werewolf. I enjoyed the first book (
Jacob) very much - thought it was different...
Gideon was an okay read... so I don't know what to expect from
Elijah... however, the sneak peak at the end of
Gideon was interesting :)
The Wicked Ways of A Duke by
Laura Lee Guhrke - Dec. 26
This is an historical romance... 2nd book in the
Bachelorette series, although I'm not sure if book 1 and 2 are connected. The back blurb is very cute and had made me very curious.
Once upon a time, there was a seamstress named Prudence who lived in a lodging house, worked very hard, and dreamed of a better life. Then she inherited a fortune, met a handsome duke, and fell in love. Her life was wonderful, and it seemed as if she was destined to live happily ever after.
Then she found out money can’t buy happiness, handsome dukes can also be wicked, lying scoundrels, and a broken heart hurts like hell. Will Prudence ever find true love and happiness? Will the wicked duke mend his ways? Will she take him back or kick him to the curb?
I've liked
Laura Lee Guhrke historical romances so far, so I'm definitively looking forward to this one :P
Other books that are worth mentioning:
Queen of Dragons by
Shana Abe (Dec.26)... third book of the series. I'm actually not sure about this one. I liked the first book well enough (
The Smoke Thief)...
Dream Thief was okay... so I'm still undecided about
Queen of Dragons. I guess I'm going to wait and see what are ppl's opinion of it first.
Hello Doggy! by
Elaine Fox (Dec.26) had a cute blurb... and
Get A Clue by
Jill Shalvis (Dec.25) is released in paperback format. I've heard good comment about this book.
So there you have it, the books I'm looking forward. January also looks like a promising month. So definitively some good reads in the future. Now, I'm wondering... these books are all coming out btw Christmas and New Year... is there any guarantee that I'll definitively find it in the bookstore on their release date? I sure hope so! I've already pre-ordered two books online...
Blood Dreams because that way, I save a lot of money... and
The Haunting of Josie because last time I pre-ordered a Kay Hooper, I received it almost 2 weeks in advance :P I hesitated buying
Elijah and
The Wicked Ways of a Duke... because these are coming out on Dec. 26... and you never know about mail btw Christmas and New Year... so there might be more chance for me to get my hand on them in the bookstore...
So there you have it :D Books that I'm looking forward to :D What about you?
