3.  Viscious Circle by Mike Carey (DTB) Grin Grin Grin Shocked
            I'm really starting to fall in love with this series, tho I found this book (#2) had a depressing ending
4.  Once Bitten by Kalanya Price (kindle) Grin Grin Cheesy
            Well-written, but main female lead is overbearingly, stupidly, prideful  aka I'm dying but I don't need your stinking help variety

            fun read - didn't complete a major plot point in the end tho, I yelled and stomped about it... and  "s" is deliberately missing from the title

1.  The Shunning by Beverly Lewis                2533 locations           Smiley Smiley
          A quick and easy read, but the characters were a bit flat and the plot a little contrived
2.  Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks            8695 locations           Smiley Smiley Smiley
         Very descriptive and plot driven, lots of action and fighting, not my usual fare
3.  Almost Like Being in Love  by Steve Kluger  5896 locations           Smiley Smiley Smiley Cheesy
         Pure fun - great characters, a happy ending, and show tune references - Who could ask for anything
          more?
4.  Ariana's Pride by Margaret Lake                5241 locations             Smiley Smiley Smiley
          A good read for fans of historical romances, likeable hero and heroine, a bit repetitive
          in places
5.  The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue           4940 locations              Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley
          A haunting fantasy about changeling children; it took a bit of time for me to get into
          the story, but once I did, I couldn't put it down.    
6.  Distant Cousin by Al Past                         8349 locations              Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Science fiction plus a touch of romance equals a very enjoyable read
7.  The Dickens with Love by Josh Lanyon     2556 locations          Smiley Smiley
          Enjoyable, but I was disappointed in the ending.  It seemed too abrupt and left too much          
          unanswered.
8.  Daisy Chain by Mary  E. DeMuth                     5285 locations           Smiley Smiley
          Good characters, but very depressing and a bit heavy handed on the religious content
9.  No Irish Need Apply by Edward C. Patterson     2040 locations            Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Good story peopled with great characters, especially the mother who accepts her son's sexuality in
          a loving, but very true to life way
10. Faking It by Elisa  Lorello                            5894 locations              Smiley Smiley
          A relatively entertaining read
11. Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson         5776 locations              Smiley Smiley Smiley
          This was not an easy book for me to read, but I am glad that I did.  It gave human faces to the
          victims of AIDS and made me care about them and to a point feel their pain.
12. Painting the Roses Red by Trish Lamoree          4418 locations             Smiley
          This book kept my interest mainly because I found it so confusing, that I wanted to see what it was
          all about.  Otherwise, I did not like it all that much.  Maybe paranormal romances are just not for me.
          I did like the title though.

2/01 Heart-Shaped Box, April Henry (kindle) 4941 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley
2/02 Sexy As Hell, Susan Johnson (kindle) 5500 locations  Angry HR - I despise marital infidelity being necessary to realize love
2/03 Guns Will Keep Us Together, Leslie Langtry (kindle) 2279 locations Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley this cozy series is a hoot
2/06 To Tempt A Saint, Kate Moore (kindle) 3605 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley excellent HR, but I found the ending unsatisfying, several loose ends, hope that means sequels are coming
2/07 Stand By Your Hitman, Leslie Langtry (kindle) 3494 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley currently last of the Bombay family assassins series, little bit of mystery, little bit of romance, lots of sarcasm and laughs - I want more
2/08 The Untamed Bride, Stephanie Laurens (kindle) 5889 locations Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley HR-1st of the Black Cobra Quartet
2/10 Ghost Sudoko, Kaye Morgan (kindle) 3470 locations  Smiley Smiley a fairly short cozy, but I had a hard time staying with the story
2/13 The Elusive Bride, Stephanie Laurens (kindle) 7272 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley HR - 2nd of the Black Cobra Quartet
2/14 Busy Bodies, Joan Hess (kindle) 4832 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley cozy mystery
2/15 The Dutiful Rake, Elizabeth Rolls (kindle)  3833 locations Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley HR
2/18 Shooting Gallery, Hailey Lind (kindle) 4616 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley - apparently I have read this series out of order (I hate that) and am trying to decide whether to go back and get the first one.
2/21 Cape Refuge, Terri Blackstock (kindle) 6907 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley A freebie/Christian fiction (not just a good story with faith-based situations, Christianity permeates the story).  I enjoyed it.
2/21 Southern Storm (Cape Refuge #2), Terri Blackstock (kindle)  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley The 2nd free book of this Christian fiction series.  Excellent suspense story.  Would like to continue the series on kindle, but I won't pay $9 for a book that has been out in paperback since 2004.
2/22 An Accidental Seduction, Michelle Willingham (kindle) 760 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley HR - A "prequel" to the next book.  I don't know why it wasn't just Chapter One - nothing totally necessary to the whole story and not enough of it to be worth $2.99
2/22 The Accidental Countess, Michelle Willingham (kindle) 4124 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley - the rest of the above story.
2/23Notorious Eliza, Barbara Monajem (kindle) 803 locations  Smiley I don't remember if these HR "shorts" were free or if I actually spent $ without looking at the file size.  This one wasn't even believable
2/24 Done Gone Wrong, Cathy Pickens (kindle) 2704 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley sort of a cozy/legal thriller/mystery
2/26 Sinful Surrender, Beverley Kendall (kindle) 5139 locations  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley-HR

Definitely a down month for me - hopefully March will be less hectic.

A book, I think, is very like a little golden door.
That takes me into places where I've never been before.
It leads me into fairyland or countries strange and far.
And, best of all, the golden door always stands ajar. - Adelaide Love
