I was thinking about checking my e-mail and taking care of business, when instead I began surfing the ol'web - and came across a post by Moirae about a new - brand spankin' new - book meme. This one sounds fun. So, since it's hosted by another blogger that I follow (and am cityville neighbors with) I clicked on the links and found a new weekly meme to take part in. Mwhahahahahahahahahahahah ....
Hosted by Tynga of Tynga's Reviews, this is a fun new meme where you get to dare people to read a fav of yours (if it's at least 6 months old). There are more guidelines, but you can read those by clicking on the blog badge or icon (or what ever they're called now) and visiting the host's site. Easy Peasy.
When you visit Tynga's post, enter for her giveaway - there is a surprise book giveaway happening.
I wanted my first post to be on J.A. Campbell's first e-book novel, but it's only been five months since the debut, so Senior Year Bites will have to wait another month for this dare.
So I'm going with Suzanne McLeod 's first novel in her Spellcracker's trilogy titled The Sweet Scent of Blood. (My review here) About a sidhe living in a London full of vampires, witch covens, trolls (handsome trolls), satyrs, nyads, brownies, pixies....the works. And it works! Loved it - one of the best debuts I've ever read; loved the sequels - and more are coming. Go on over to Spellcrackers.com - take a look around. Read The Sweet Scent of Blood - go on now - I'm Daring You!
Since I think everyone should be interested in every single book I like (LOL-well, they SHOULD) I have lots more books in mind, but I'll stick with one per post. :)

I have the first 2 on my list for December reads!
ReplyDeleteGood reading - I really believe she's better than a lot of what's out there - the dialog, the narration, everything just flows nicely. :)
ReplyDeleteI have this one at home but haven't read it yet! I really need to ^^ Thanks for participating!
ReplyDeleteBoth of you need to crack those McLeod books open. You won't be disappointed! :) LOL - I'm daring you, remember! :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent post. I don't read this series. I've been so busy reading and then real life sometimes gets in the way. Old follower. Come check out what I picked.
