October 2008 Releases

Okay, question... where is everyone? LOL :) It's sooo quiet lately!!! LOL, maybe I'm a succubus and have sucked everyone's blogging energy? Or perhaps miss Blog Muse has decided to focus on me and neglected you? Just let me know and I'll send her back to you guys!!

So as I said yesterday, I think I'm going to start a monthly post on the new releases that I'm looking forward to!! Might help me remembering what I actually want to order when it comes time to buy books!! (A trick to my fellow Canadian bloggers... My theory when you do an online order and you want to have the books in advance? Order about 3 weeks before the release date... So far, that has worked very well for me. It doesn't work 100%, but I'd say ~80% of the time)



Addicted to Love by Lori Wilde: I'm not technically a fan of Ms Wilde, but I like contemporary romance, what can I say? I also like small town romance and also, the "I had a crush on you when I was a teenager" romance :) So I'd say this book is going to be perfect to me. Plus, Holly has reviewed it and seemed to really enjoy it! Now, if it could simply show up at my bookstore... (I really grrrr Grand Central Publishing, Sourcebooks and Dorchester - the books are always late - or sometimes, they just don't show up!!)







Just the Sexiest Man Alive
by Julie James: New author to me, but it's a contemporary romance. Need I say more? LOL :) So the plot isn't new, but if Ms James is able to pull it out, it could be veryyy good. Also, did you see the number of contemporary romance out there? Not much, so I need my fix.







Night Falls Darkly by Kim Lenox: This was brought up to my attention by Kmont. It's another paranormal and the storyline doesn't sound very original per se, but hey, Kmont liked it :) So I'm ready to give this new series a try :)









Power Play by Deidre Martin: Now, Ms Martin is kind of miss and hit for me. However, what is more rare than contemporary romance? Professional athlete's contemporary romance. I'm not a fan of hockey, but I'm just in the mood this kind of story...








Tall Dark Texan
by Jodi Thomas: I've become a fan of Ms Thomas this year :) I've read all of her contemporary romances and am now tackling her westerns. So I'll be getting this one :P






Marry Christmas by Jane Goodger: So I've read one book by Jane Goodger and just loved it!! LOVED IT!! And this is her comeback book and well, it's about Christmas :) Oh, byt the way, did I mention arranged marriage? I'm soooo in!! I do think that October is a bit early though to be selling Christmas story already.







Living with the Dead by Kelley Armstrong: Kelley Armstrong? Do I need to say more? No, seriously... okay, Kelley Armstrong is an auto-buy for me. Especially if it's part of her Women of the Otherworld series! :) I'm looking forward to this one... new characters + some of Hope and Karl. I'm just sad that next year, there'll only be one Women of the Otherworld book :(





The Magical Christmas Cat
- anthology: I'm buying this one for Nalini Singh's story :) Actually, I'm waiting it to arrive, since I have pre-ordered... However, Holly did review it and it seems that all the stories in it are good :) So that one might be a pretty good investment :)





Special mention:

Lucky Charm by Carla Phillips: Another contemporary romance... but I'm not sure if I really want it or not. Ms Phillips is hit and miss for me, with more misses... but I'll probably end up buying it.

Cast in Fury by Michelle Sagara: Not sure about this one either. Perhaps, I should read the first three books before right?

The Chosen Sin by Anya Bast: Ms Bast new series... Paranormal with vampires... I think i'm going to wait to see blogland's reaction before buying it :P
