Finally: NEW Books

  

no time

I simply having had the time to finish a single book for weeks. No updates, no new books, not even the old ones. I have fallen off of my game.....must...get....it....together.

New job disruptive to reading schedule.

I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME OR CONCENTRATION TO READ THE LOAD OF BOOKS THAT I HAVE HANGING AROUND.

Finally got a new job and I can't even find enough mind power to read a Hemingway novella. Now that's just crazy. Hopefully I'll find my rhythm soon and get things back to normal.

Ok, so Carlos is this super hot Brazilian were-panther, who everyone assumes is gay and he's got a serious problem. Carlos and a few were-panther children seem to be the last of their kind so he needs to find a mate in order so the species will survive. Working for McKay Investigations gives him the opportunity to search around the world for others just like him. Caitlyn Whelan has been fired from her job, finds her long lost sister, then finds herself working for a vampire and falling for a certain Brazilian were-panther. Carlos is more than a little attracted to Caitlyn but he knows that this attraction can go nowhere because Caitlyn is mortal and can't have little were-panther babies. Their boss sticks them together on a mission that is destined to either make them or break them. But it's just a matter of who breaks first.
Along the way, they fight less than truthful guides, get married by a village elder, and awaken an ancient vampire from decades of slumber.
     This is a nice addition to the series but I can say that I was a little disappointed in what seemed like a promising story for Carlos; there just wasn't enough there for me. Carlos is on a serious mission to save his people and wants to make sure he does the right thing. I think my biggest issue was with Caitlyn and her development as a character. She, at first, seemed to be a quite serious and then she turns into quite a hussy chasing after Carlos all the time. I don't know...It seemed rushed and a bit frivolous but a fun tale, nonetheless. This is a book that I could have waited for a library copy but sometimes you just never know.

"blackeros77: Eat,Prey, Love by Kerrelyn Sparks. Just finished. Cute story but I was hoping for more. I liked it though."

Eat, Prey, Love

 I couldn't help myself! Eventhough I already have a pile of books that I have not been able to get through, I figured that I owed it to myself to buy at least one new book. (Defining new by the fact that it was purchased this week. Not to be confused with books purchased last week or the week before but have not been read yet).
I have been waiting for Carlos to have his own story; as a shapeshifter among vamps makes for an interesting story. Plus, the fact that he is sexy and South American does not hurt at all.

A Nobel Goal

So, I have decided to embark on a new literary journey: for the next year, I will read the works of Nobel Prize winners in literature. The purpose is both academic and for bragging rights. I want to see what I can learn from these standards of literature and to be able to say that I have read all of the Prize winners.


I have already read Hemingway, Camus, Morrison, Heaney, Faulkner, and Garcia but I feel as if I have to go back and read them again because I cannot say with certainty that I have learned all there was for me to learn.
