Lisa Jackson Reading Challenge 2009/2010

Since I didn't do well with the Lisa Jackson Read-A-Fest J. Kaye hosted earlier this year, I will try to read the books I had set aside for this challenge.

I will definitely read Twice Kissed and Fatal Burn. Everything else depends on what I can find in my favorite independent book shop.

Fall Into Reading 2009

It's that time of the year again...
Katrina from Callapidder Days is hosting the Fall Into Reading Challenge again - and of course I'm in!

The challenge will start September 22, 2009 and end December 20, 2009.

I have not yet made up my mind about a list of books, but I'll try to read 20 books during that time.

After having met Christina and Dustin in the anthology Heating Up The Holidays, Jill Shalvis brings us back to the brave men and women of the fire department of Santa Rey. This time, Zack Thomas and Brooke O'Brien are dealing with arson *and* the fire that is burning between the two of them, to say it in a rather cheesy way.

Once again Shalvis managed to work her magic with a cast of awesome characters that made me laugh, shake my head and want to pound it on the nearest table at the same time. I don't know how she does it, but I always have fun reading her romance novels!
