Once I finish all the YA reading (I don't know why I'm in such a YA frenzy of late), I've got a shelf full of titles I've accumulated (ok, purchased) that I'm anxious to start reading. I did take a break and read a quick "hysterical" romance the week before Christmas.
I'm listing the titles of what I have on hand to read (so ya'll won't go buy any of them):
The Queen of Bedlam by Robert McCammon (645-page historical mystery)
Girls of a Tender Age by Mary-Ann Tirone Smith (memoir of French-Italian family struggling to survive in 1953 in a housing project in Hartford, CT)
Paula Deen: A Memoir--It Ain't All About the Cookin' by Paula Deen
Dark Angels and Through a Glass Darkly and Now Face to Face by Karleen Koen (hysterical romance series)
Thirteen Moons by Charles Frazier (author of Cold Mountain)
A Midwife's Story by Penny Armstrong & Sheryl Feldman (first-hand account set in Lancaster County, PA)
The Star Garden: A Novel of Sarah Agnes Prine by Nancy E. Turner (4th book in series--first one is one of my all-time favorite books--These is My Words)
Between, Georgia by Joshilyn Jackson
Consuelo and Alva Vanderbuilt: The Story of a Daughter and a Mother in the Gilded Age by Amanda Mackenzie Stuart
Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert
Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
The Egyptian Coffin by Jane Jackman (2nd in the Lord Ambrose Historical Mystery series--I think I sent the first one to Kari or to Mother)
The Seduction of the Crimson Rose by Lauren Willig (4th in the Pink Carnation series)
Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor (a hysterical romance)
Jubilee Trail by Gwen Bristow
Tallgrass by Sandra Dallas (I think I've read all her books except one--she's a great writer! I especially recommend The Persian Pickle Club, The Chili Queen, and The Diary of Mattie Spenser)
The Serpent's Tale by Ariana Franklin (2nd in the Mistress of the Art of Death series)
A Flaw in the Blood by Stephanie Barron (set in Queen Victoria's court)
A Fatal Waltz by Tasha Alexander (3rd in the Lady Emily Ashton series--the series actually doesn't have an official name that I've found--Lady Ashton is a widow who takes up solving mysteries)
Queen of Swords by Sara Donati (5th in the Into the Wilderness series--am having this one shipped directly to Mother.)
As you can see, this is why I need a 2nd job! LOL OH...and I still have to read World Without End!!!
