Fall Into Reading Wrap-Up

I reread Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec before diving into the sequels, Futures and Frostings and Troubles and Treats.  I can't express how much I enjoyed the heck out of these books.  Tara's wit is refreshing and I adored all of her little jokes.

I stumbled upon this gem, Taking Chances by Molly McAdams, shortly after logging Futures and Frostings into goodreads.  I was blown away at the story, never knowing where it was going, and can honestly say that as soon as I finished it, I turned around and reread it a second time.  Emotionally draining, but oh so good!

I decided to reread Bared to You by Sylvia Day before diving into her BRILLIANT sequel, Reflected in You.  Now I'm stuck until the end of the year, December 31st, for the final installment, Entwined with You, to be released.  GAH!

Thanks to reading Taking Chances and Beautiful Disaster, I had a recommendation for Crash by Nicole Williams.  I read the synopsis and decided, WTHeck.  Wow!  I'm certainly glad I did.  There is nothing sexier than a good bad boy story.  I really should pay more attention, though, as Crash has a sequel.  I dove straight in to Clash and was equally as captivated.

At this point...can you tell I've already swerved off the beaten path of my original list?  I adore it when this happen, because ultimately, I wind up finding a book that I couldn't live without.  Thus far, Taking Chances has been that book.

As promised, I reread the Twilight Saga as well as Midnight Sun, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, and all of the outtakes from Stephenie Meyer dot com.  Yes, I was as addicted to them the second time around.  I condone the remaking of the movies in the future, where the best parts of the books are not cut, and superior actors are cast as the leads.

My favorite part of Fall Into Reading this year was finding Tiffany Reisz. Words will never express just how amazing her books are, or what a fascinating story teller she is. Tiffany caters to her readers, and has uploaded many extra short stories, involving the characters I've fallen in love with, to her website. As if that wasn't enough, she reaches out to her fans via twitter, so I broke down and signed up. We became fast friends after discussing Type 1 diabetes.

Fall Into Reading 2012

After a long, hot, and very humid summer this year, I am so looking forward to jeans, hoodies, sneakers, and hot cocoa.  Of course, living in the desert, there is a chance I won't be experiencing actual fall weather until November.  Frustrating as hell!  One thing I can jump right in on is Katrina's Fall Into Reading.  My heart smiles knowing that this post is scheduled and waiting.  It's like my ribbon cutting on Autumn.  I can honestly say that Katrina's Spring Reading Thing reawakened my love for reading (after it lay dormant following the untimely death of my Beloved husband), and I spent a good portion of those dreadful humid days curled up with my nook.  I read 14 books and that is unheard of!

Here is my list of what I intend to read this season, but you know me, I'm always changing it up.

As the next installment of the Crossfire Series hits early October, I'll be rereading Bared to You before diving into Reflected in You by Sylvia Day.

Creed is one of my all-time favorite rock bands!  I have crushed on lead singer Scott Stapp since I first laid eyes on him. I can't wait to read his memoir, Sinner's Creed.

It has been 4 years since I first picked up Twilight.  I remember becoming completely addicted and thinking that I just needed them fed intravenously to me at one point.  I have decided to reread The Twilight Saga for the upcoming release of Breaking Dawn II.  I'm more interested in what my take on them will be now, all these years later, and whether or not I still feel as passionately about them.

Avoiding Responsibility by K.A. Linde

Futures and Frosting by Tara Sivec

I thought I might be willing to give the books a try after watching The Hunger Games with my oldest.  If I have time, I'll pick up the trilogy.

As always, I'm looking forward to reading all of your lists to get ideas of what's trending right now.
