I am reading SIN UNDONE by Larissa Ione and RIDING THE NIGHT by Jaci Burton. Even though I usually don’t, I’m reading more than one book at a time again. This time it is because I left one at home on accident and had to read something while waiting in the carpool line for a half hour. I will probably finish SIN UNDONE first since I’m the furthest into it and I need to post the review on Friday.
What are you reading today?
Tomorrow there is an amazing book coming out! I was lucky enough to win an advance copy on Dear Author and loved every word! Here is the cover, blurb, and where to buy. I’ll be posting my full review soon.
Cover blurb:
A beautiful fugitive—wanted dead or alive.
Kyra is a con woman and a particular kind of thief. She steals with a touch, but she only takes one thing: her target’s strongest skill. Which means she can be a fighter, an athlete, a musician, an artist—anything she wants… for a limited time. Heartbroken, she turns her gift toward avenging her father’s murder; with deadly patience, Kyra works her way into casino owner Gerard Serrano’s inner circle. After pulling off the ultimate con, she flees with his money and his pride.
A hit man who never misses the mark.
Reyes has nothing but his work. Pity for Kyra, he’s the best and mercy never sways him once he takes a job. He’s been hired to find out where Kyra hid the cash—and bring her back to face Serrano’s “justice.” Dead will do, if he can’t locate the loot. He’s never failed to complete a contract, but Kyra tempts him with her fierce heat and her outlaw heart. So Reyes has a hell of a choice: forsake his word or kill the woman he might love.

Jane Austen at the Movies
I love all of the different Jane Austen movies. From the straight adaptations of her novels (Emma and P&P are my favorites) to the Austen inspired versions (Bride & Prejudice and Lost in Austen).
My favorite scene is the lake scene from the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice. I love him as Darcy. When I reread the book he is always how I picture Darcy to look. In Emma, I love the part towards the end when Emma realized how she feels about Knightly and is concerned about what his brother might say to him about her. “I hate John, I love John.” I’ll be repeating that line over and over after watching the movie. I watched it a few weeks ago and was repeating the line when my 4 year old overheard me. She wanted to know who John was and
Here are some my favorite clips from different Austen movies.

I am planing on reading it this weekend and will post my thoughts on Monday!
Here is the description from Harlequin’s website:
It was supposed to be a fun day, shopping at the mall with her best friend. Then the panic attack started and Kaylee Cavanaugh finds herself screaming, unable to stop. Her secret fears are exposed and it’s the worst day of her life.
Until she wakes up in the psychiatric unit.
She tries to convince everyone she’s fine–despite the shadows she sees forming around another patient and the urge to scream which comes burbling up again and again. Everyone thinks she’s crazy. Everyone except Lydia, that is. Another patient with some special abilities….
An eBook exclusive prequel to Rachel Vincent’s SOUL SCREAMERS series.

This would be a great way to try out a line you haven’t read before. I’m going to try the NASCAR book. I’ve always been curious, but not enough to buy one. Maybe that will change!
