I read "Tempted" by Megan Hart. If you're in erotica she writes amazing books. I'm now reading "Stranger" by her. It's not as good as Tempted, but still pretty good.

Finished A Medal of Honor last night. I think the next book I'll read will be Cocoa Blades by Paul Marttin, a 1960s novel about a black girl from the inner city who becomes a skating star (that, Dreams of Gold and another one I have called Polished Steel are the only non-genre [although Cocoa Blades is sort of blaxploitation if you consider that a genre] non-young-adult or non-juvenile works of fiction about figure skating I know about)

I read multiple books at one time...
my brain candy and happy books are Doctor Who (I've been obsessed since I was a kid...)

I'm reading Archival Theory and Practice for work,

Anne Moody's Comming of Age in Mississippi (I teach this book every semester)
Lisa Jacobson, Raising Consumers: Children and the American Mass Market in the Early Twentieth Century,
Melton McLaurin, Separate Pasts: Growing Up White in the Segregated South

in addition to research for my dissertation...

Cocoa Blades was not a very long book and I finished it pretty quickly (it wasn't quite as "blaxploitation" as the cover blurbs made it out to be, although it starts to head down that road in the last couple of chapters).

Now on The Second Mark by Joy Goodwin, about the judging scandal in the pairs event at the Salt Lake City Olympics

Just finished up The Road to Paradise Island by Victoria Holt and currently looking for something new.

Any sci-fi/fantasy fans have a recommendation?

I'm reading Feminine Appeal: 7 Traits of a Godly Mom and Wife. I'm also fixing to pick The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Caught back up.

Has anyone read Percy Jackson and The Olympians? I would love to give those a look-see.
My husband has read them all and he loves them. I'm thinking of reading them myself, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Reading Fledgling by Octavia Butler. After I finish this one, I will read Lover Unbound, part of J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

With January almost over I am starting a new book, A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton, I've never read any of her books but always meant to. I'm about 6 chapters in, and I had to force myself to put it down. I really like her writing style.
