Suggestions are so hard without knowing at least a little about people's reading taste. Do they want a comedy, historical, angsty, friends-to-lovers, paranormal, futuristic, etc? What are their reading triggers? Are they as persnickety as me about reading series books in order?
Since many of my favorite books I've read this past year were the latest entries in various series, I'll recommend Kat Latham's Knowing the Score. It's part of a series too, but being the author's debut book at least it's the first book in the series ![]() |

I do not know about others but I had more bad books than good ones this year.
I finished To Tempt a Scotsman by Victoria Dahl last night and honestly I thought it was boring. |

![]() Laura Kaye fans, if you've been waiting, then 'Hard As It Gets' is supposed to be on sale for $1.99 [it's geo-restricted for me so double check, and I already bought it when it came out, but no, of course I haven't read it yet although it's high up on my TBR pile] ![]() |

OK, why didn't anyone tell me Golden Lady by Shirl Henke was back in print and $2.99 for the Kindle edition?
![]() It's a Western, set during the Gold Rush (although it starts before the characters meet). If you like "big secrets" stories, this is a doozie. The heroine has some horrible stuff happen to her when she is younger, and she has to hide it from the hero in order to marry him. Of course, we romance fans know that won't work out well for her. Amazon says it's 379 pages, but considering how much happens, they must be very busy pages. ![]() |

I also agree about being tired of Regency England. My favorites are Medievals (either Scottish or English, I love the highland laddies, chivalrous knights, AND the Norman-Saxon struggles lol) and early Americana (westerns, frontier, colonial, etc). Luckily those were popular in the 90s and early 2000s. ![]() Quote:
I look for reviews that call a novel boring or too full of detail. Reviews that say a book should be a movie or use the word "cracktastic" are a red flag! Quote:
![]() When I read reviews that call a book boring or too stuck on details, I know it's a good chance I'll like the book. One HR I read this year complained there was too much info about sheep farming... I ate it up! lol I am currently reading my 123rd book of the year (a HR by Pamela Morsi that I picked up with one of those awesome Kobo coupons), and think I'll finish it by tomorrow night. I read more than twice as many books last year, but we bought a house and packed up the apartment we'd lived in for 10 years earlier this year. Been a little busy! Probably not going to set any specific goals for next year. I need to get my ebooks organized for sure. I've been organizing my sewing threads while reading this weekend, so it's gone really fast. Not so easy to read while ebook organizing, though. |

I'll have to admit I am a bit surprised so far. I thought people would be reaching into their keeper shelves looking for that one romance that is so worn it's falling apart because they read it so much.

Rant.
How hard is it to read house numbers and deliver a package? Well it must be very hard for UPS. According to the tracking number a package I am expecting was delivered to my front door. I walked out my side-door no package, walked to the front door looked out again no package, went to my laundry room door (back of house) looked out no package. Looked in vehicles, looked in yard, nothing. According to UPS package was delivered it is out of there hands. Complaint filed with Amazon. I would not pour water on UPS to save it. |

![]() ![]() I would contact the local depot and ask them to talk to the driver who delivered it. He should be able to tell you where he left it. Also join UPS My Choice and you can specified where you want your package left and other delivery type instructions. It's free. |
