03/02 How to Wash a Cat, Rebecca M. Hale (kindle) 4405 locations  mystery 03/04 The Truth About Lord Stoneville, Sabrina Jeffries (kindle) 6870 locations  HR 03/06 Passion, Lisa Valdez (kindle) 4648 locations  HR - very graphic with the love scenes and language, I could hear the porn movie soundtrack in my mind while reading - good story though! 03/07 Ravishing in Red, Madeline Hunter (kindle) 4983 locations  HR - slightly abrupt ending Very little reading getting done this month, but in the last couple of weeks I have finished: My Darling Caroline, Adele Ashworth (kindle) 5266 locations  Excellent HR Vi Agra Falls, Mary Daheim (kindle)  Forgot to check location count before deleting - 336 pages according to Amazon. Long-running mystery series. I don't enjoy the characters so much any more, little humor left and too much contention between family members that seems contrived. Celebutards, Andrea Peyser (kindle)  3629 locations. A freebie last month. Some of it funny, lots of it mean-spirited Lessons in Love: A Cambridge Fellows Mysteries, Book 1 Charlie Cochran (kindle) 3344 locations A historical mystery with m/m romance - Lots of relationship establishing, not so much mystery in this one.  - I have already purchased Book 2 In The Warrior's Bed, Mary Wine (kindle)  4209 locations. A Highland HR Deadlock, James Scott Bell (kindle) 4842 locations. A well-written book, but I didn't care for the story. A blend of policitics, intrigue, and a heavy dose of religion.

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

All books are Kindle versions; all novels are under $6. I may continue trying to pay less than $6 per book; I found seven new authors this month that I like (Julia Quinn, Laura Levine, Gena Showalter, Marianne Stillings, Johanna Lindsey, Kate Perry, and Suzanne Macpherson) and I didn't overspend on books. It did take some time reading through a zillion samples though.
FICTION
1. This Matter of Marriage by Debbie Macomber - good 2. Lady Be Good by Susan Elizabeth Phillips - good but not sure what the main couple saw in each other 3. The Bachelor Preferred Pastry by Shirley Jump - one in a series of food romances w/recipes 4. It's in His Kiss by Julia Quinn - historical, really good - plan to read the rest of the series, my fave this month 5. Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger - good 6. This Pen for Hire: A Jaine Austen Mystery by Laura Levine - really funny, will read more of the series 7. The Wife Trap by Tracy Anne Warren - good except didn't like the heroine 8. Squeeze Play by Kate Angell - baseball romance, good 9. No Other Love by Candace Camp - ok but didn't feel realistic 10. Catch a Mate by Gena Showalter - really fun, another new author discovery 11. Talk of the Town by Suzanne Macpherson - really good, can't wait to read the author's other books 12. The Devil Who Tamed Her by Johanna Lindsey - pretty good 13. Project Date by Kate Perry - a lot of fun, another new to me author 14. Nerd Gone Wild by Vicki Lewis Thompson - ok 15. Trust Fund Babies by Jean Stone - pretty good, formatting issues 16. Male Call by Denise A. Agnew - ok, FREE 17. Satisfaction by Marianne Stillings - really good, will read more by her
NONFICTION
18. The Ten Best-Ever Anxiety Management Techniques by Margaret Wehrenberger - very helpful book but partial font problem in Kindle version 19. Naturally Thin by Bethenny Frankel - ok, like the recipes 20. Raw Food for Real People by Rod Rotondi - ok 21. Eat Smart, Walk Strong by Leslie Sansone - was FREE, a tad preachy, recipes look great
DID NOT FINISH
Slow Hands by Leslie Kelly, Harlequin Blaze, FREE
IN PROGRESS, READING SLOWLY
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maughan, FREE

I'll give this a try - seems like a good way to keep track of what I've read 1. Head Over Heels - Susan Anderson - 4,655 loc - fin 3/1 - Enjoyable     2. Lady of Milkweed Manor - Julie Klassen - 3,897 loc - fin 3/1 - Freebie. Well-written, but depressing except for happy ending    1/2 3. Conspiracy in Death - J.D. Robb - 6,632 loc - fin 3/3 - Great as usual     4. Booth's Sister - Jane Singer - 2,041 loc - DNF - Freebie. I was quite disappointed in this. Was expecting historical fiction. Instead it was, well, hard to describe what it was, but for me at least, it was not readable. 5. A Bride Most Begrudging - Deanna Gist - 5,876 loc - fin 3/4 - Freebie, good writing but a bit slow    6. Moonstone - Marilee Brothers - 2,296 loc - fin 3/5 - Still working my way through freebies.    1/2 7.

Favorite book of the month - the rereads of Patricia Briggs. Favorite new book(s) - too many to choose from. I read a lot of good books this month.
