Book buying catchup

[annathepiper]

Purchased or acquired electronically:

• Unlocked, a freebie anthology available over here
• Enchanting the Lady, by Kathryne Kennedy. Freebie historical/paranormal romance from B&N.
• Warrior, by Zoe Archer. Historical/paranormal romance, previously mentioned as the book with the cover hero who mugged Indiana Jones for his clothes. ;)
• Scoundrel, also by Zoe Archer, book 2 of the same series as Warrior.

And this puts me at 318 for the year.

I must add that I blazed through Warrior last night, and yeah, it was about what I expected, which is to say, Big Silly Fun. I noted that Books 3 and 4 of the series are about to drop very soon; apparently Zoe Archer must have had them all ready when she got her publishing contract, or something. And I mention this mostly because Book 4 apparently is going to have a black hero who is a scientific and magical genius. This is, in a word, Cool. I really rather like its cover, as much as I liked the ones for Warrior and Scoundrel. For a romance novel, that’s an almost SFnal cover. :)

The cover is very old-school sorta SF. Like something you would expect to see on an H.G. Wells reprint. ;)

[annathepiper]

Yeah, isn't it? :) I think that on the strength of these covers I might actually buy these books in print as well as electronic.

I've got the first two on hold at the library on the strength of you and Dear Author (or was it SBTB?). Looking forward to seeing if they're my cup of tea (I suspect they will be).

It was the Smart Bitches, although I dunno if Dear Author might also have mentioned the series; I don't regularly follow that blog! (I think maybe I should.)

And cool, hope you enjoy them!

I popped over and grabbed Warrior based on your rec, since your taste seems to jibe well with mine (for instance, the Amelia Peabody series is one of my favorites, and I *loved* your book). I love these little reviews you do!

[annathepiper]

Awesome, I hope you enjoy Archer's books! And yay for another Peabody fan!

Also, aw shucks thank you, both re: the reviews and re: my own book. I gotta get caught up on my review posts, too! I'm way farther ahead on the Amelias than my posts otherwise indicate.
