Amy's Book Nook

I'm a posting fool today!

The Books I Want to Read in June:
1. Face Value by Kathleen Baird-Murray - a women's fic about fashion and journalism. Sign me up!

2. The Importance of Being Married by Gemma Townley - Women's fic about a woman has to be married to get an inheritance. Hmmm....

3. Severance Package by Duane Swierczynski - a mystery/thriller about a group of office workers about to get picked off, literally. Sounds like The Office meets a horror movie. I REALLY want to read this!

4. Sweet Love by Sarah Strohmeyer - Romance. I read a previous book of hers and enjoyed it.

5. The Writing Class by Jincy Willett - Mystery having to do with writing. Gee, why would I like that?

6. Whacked by Jules Asner - Mystery having to do with celebs. A book that blends my E! watching? Fun!

7. Killing Bridezilla by Luara Levine - Another mystery. What's up with me and mysteries this month?

8. Mind the Gap by Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon - urban fantasy by one of my favorite Buffy-book writers about a woman caught in another world. Could be scary. You ever read Golden's vampire works? Eech!

9. Falling Out of Fashion by Karen Yampolsky - another women's fic about a fashion and journalism. They keep writing 'em, I'll keep reading them.

Already On The Shelf:

1. Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen - Reading now. I loved her last book, Garden Spells, and am enjoying this one so far. Her books are gentle romances with a hint of magic. Nice, relaxing stories. The Led Zeppelin of romance books.

2. Tall Tales and Wedding Veils by Jane Graves - A couple accidentally gets married. I love those kind of books. And I think I've read her books before and enjoyed them.

3. Weddings Can Be Murder by Christie Craig - What's up with the wedding murder mysteries? I don't know, but it sure is fun and timely! And I'm pretty sure I've read Craig's books before too.

4. Pitch Black by Susan Crandall - Murder Mystery!

5. Bound by Shadow by Anna Windsor - NYPD and paranormal. Sounds fun!
