The Maid of Dishonour

The Maid of Dishonour - Tanya Michaels

The companion Duet to Catch and Keep. Also enjoyable and worth holding onto for next winter's lazy reading period. This brings me to 6 books for the month, and 6 year to date.

Catch and Keep

Catch and Keep - Hannah Bernard

Harlequin Duets reread. Worth keeping for another winter indulgence.

Not Quite As Advertised

Not Quite As Advertised - Tanya Michaels

A Harlequin Flipside reread. It was okay, but probably not worth another read, so off to the used bookstore for this one.

Bare Necessities

Bare Necessities - Marie Donovan

Now this was a good Harlequin Blaze. Who doesn't want to learn about designing bras for strippers?

The Executive's Vengeful Seduction

The Executive's Vengeful Seduction - Maxine Sullivan

A very mediocre Harlequin. If it got dropped in the tub, you may or may not decide to fish it out to finish reading it.

Break No Bones

Break No Bones - Kathy Reichs

Apparently, the dead of winter is my crime fiction season. This one had a good mystery, and the age old dilemma - Pete or Andy (ex-husband or new flame?). I have enjoyed every novel I've read by Reichs, to the point where I'm looking forward to watching Bones in the fall. I'm sure it will be very nurturing for the new baby.

Monday Mourning

Monday Mourning - Kathy Reichs

One thing really nagged at me, detail wise: does captivity alter height? I felt like that plot point was never explained, and I'm not a forensic anthropologist, so I sure can't figure it out on my own. Reading these books does make me want to start watching Bones (TV series based on the lead character when she was just starting her career). Hubby and I are planning to watch when we're home on mat leave/parental leave together in the fall. This brought me to 12 for the month, and 92 for the year. So, 17 more books than I read in 2006. Not bad.
