[QUOTE=FizzyWater;2738510]I think there are things brought out in the earlier books that would be spoilered (is that a word?! - "spoiled" doesn't seem right!) if you tried to read these in chronological order (even if that were possible - like I said, at least two of them are basically happening at the same time. Like the Julia Quinn "Wyndham" duology).
So then the Burrowes books should be read in publication order, Good to know. I never did read that Julia Quinn duology, for that very reason. I don't want to read the same story twice. I hate ANYTHING written in PRESENT tense. I avoid them on principle. First person I am fine with, as long as it's past tense. |

And here's a bargain... This book is on sale for $.99 and I've had it on my wishlist since release. It's not in the blurb anymore but apparently the characters are Kristen Ashley fans and base their adventure on that. A is for Alpha Male by Laurel Curtis blurb: I’m Haley Whitfield, and I recently had the ingenious idea to enlist my mother, Allison, as my kick*ss sidekick and set out on a road trip. This road trip wasn’t to be just any road trip, but a very special one indeed. An adventure with an acutely specific purpose-- to find our other halves. The peanut butter to our jelly. The i to our Phone. The stripper to our pole. If our romantic desires were a personal ad, they would read something like this. ** Two sassy women (Ages twenty-seven and forty-nine respectively--Ouch. Okay, ages twenty-seven and thirty--with nineteen years experience-- respectively) seeking Alpha Males to love us with zeal and kiss us with skill. Gorgeous face and sexy, tattooed, hard body a must. If you aren’t a dangerous bad*ss with the x-rated skills and virility to match, don’t bother. Must be willing to protect us from danger, value our quirkiness, and keep your mouth shut when said quirkiness is what leads to said danger. Momma’s boys named Dan Smith need not apply.** I know. It’s a bit wordy. In fact, it would probably cost a fortune. Luckily, we’re not ready for the personal ad. We’re not that desperate...yet. |

Though the books share some scenes (written from different characters POV) and the story takes place at the same time, the books were different. I hated the first story (the hero was such a jerk), but Mr. Cavendish, I Presume is my favorote post-Bridgertons JQ novel. That said I totally get why you wouldn't want to read them.

Amazon books on Calibre
Quote:
I finally decided to use Calibre to organize my books, thanks to you (and others) recommendations. It's a big job, and I even bought a new (inexpensive) laptop to be a "Library Server". It is fun though and good for me to "discover" books that I bought and haven't read yet. I was wondering how one gets Amazon books onto Calibre? Thanks! |

So I finished my first medieval historical I have read in years. I do mean years! I think I was 19 last time I read one. I just have to say if there was an award for the most stupid heroine Lyonene gets it. I really need to brush up on medieval terminology. My dictionary was useless when searching for the meaning.
