Summer Reading

No, not another rant about "literary" vs. "commercial", but an answer to the question, "So, Georganna, what are you reading this summer?" A lot (not to be confused with the often-seen alot, which is not a word). I'm reading often and long because this season is unusually hot and muggy and I don't have air conditioning. This is escapism at its best! So, I read a pile of magic and supernatural novels that a friend gave me (her taste, not mine, but they were at hand):

Burning Bridges by L. Gilman -- eesh! Too much fairies, etc.
Magic Bites by I. Andrews -- too much violence
Unshapely Things by M. del Franco --fairy violence!
Second Sight by A. Quick -- best erotic writing for women!!!
Nightlife and Moonlight by R. Thurman -- weird violence
Kitty series by C. Vaughn -- Kinsey Millhone in fur 'n' fangs
Blood Bound by P. Briggs -- interesting vampire drama
--------------------------------------------------
Envious Moon by T.C. Greene -- quick, dark read, with a cute twist
The New Kid by E. Schrefer -- one I told S&S to NOT SEND because it sounded boring. Not only was it boring, it is one of the most disgusting books I've ever read and completely without social value or redeeming merit. I keep telling publishers, publicists, P.R. people and authors that I'm not reviewing books right now, but they persist and even send them anyway. I'm beginning to think that getting mentioned in blogs has become more important than reviews.
