It's Monday, What are You Reading? [5]

Because it's still Monday somewhere!

Life

 

I didn't have interpreting school last week so with my extra free time (har) we started planning for our Japanese wedding ceremony.  The average budget made me want to run for the hills.  In Japan the bride spends hundreds of dollars on things like makeup and a western style ball gown for the reception.  What's wrong with having a friend do you up and wearing your wedding dress?  Grah.  It's like culture shock all over again.

Read Last Week

Angel's Blood by Nalini Singh (Guild Hunter #1) ★★★★★ 

Wow! This book sucked me in from the beginning and never let go. There's great action, a kick butt heroine, a deliciously dangerous hero, and an interesting mythology holding everything together. I immediately got the next book in the series....

Archangel's Kiss by Nalini Singh (Guild Hunter #2) ★★★ 

Review later this week.

 Bound to Please by Lilli Feisty ★★★★

 This was my first foray into true BDSM literature and I liked it! I would say more but I don't have anything to compare it to... a problem I look to be fixing shortly.  I mean, look at my hold titles below, some are pretty obvious.  ~grin~

What Every BODY is Saying by Joe Navarro

Non-fiction is good for the soul!  So far it's an interesting, breezy read on what could be a tedious topic - non-verbal communication.  Navarro's background as an FBI agent lends itself to juicy examples and there's lots of pictures to illustrate the gestures.  So far, so good.

The Victory Lab by Sasha Issenberg

This hold came through on the eve of the Presidental election - fate.  My afternoon reading is set!
