What's on Your Nightstand? and Teaser Tuesday (on Wednesday)

It's hard to believe but it is time for the monthly What's on Your Nightstand? post! The year is just flying by!

Unfortunately the pile by the side of my bed isn't descending, but rather it is nearly at cruising height! (I know....enough with the flying related terminology!). So here is the list of what I now have on my nightstand starting with the books that were there last month:

The Traitor's Wife by Susan Higginbotham
Archangel by Sharon Shinn
Rises the Night by Colleen Gleason
Mistletoe Kisses anthology
The Smoke Thief by Shana Abe
Dagger-Star by Elizabeth Vaughan
Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh

The new additions are:

Just One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins - It got rave reviews over at Dear Author so I thought I would give it a go even though I don't read a lot of contemporary romance.

Personal Demon by Kelley Armstrong - I really enjoy all the Women of the Otherworld books.

***********************

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Should be Reading:

  • Grab your current read.
  • Let the book fall open to a random page.
  • Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
  • You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
  • Please avoid spoilers!

I completely forgot to do Teaser Tuesday last week, and it is now Wednesday, but I am going to do this anyway! Part of the problem is that by the time everyone starts posting their Tuesday Teaser posts it is already Wednesday here! We'll see how we go next week. My teaser is from Personal Demon by Kelley Armstrong:

From the thrill of the break-in, I presumed, but when he pulled back, there was trepidation in his eyes, lifting only when I leaned in for another kiss.

I am only in the very early stages of the book, but I have to say that I am eager to know exactly who HE is and what break-in. Damn! Looks like a teased myself!

  5. Ooo, Personal Demon. I love Kelley Armstrong. I'll be interested to see what you say!

    Hey, BTW, were you being funny over at my blog? You know, those photos aren't really us, but American movie stars and socialites.

  6. I did wonder about a couple of the photos - looked a bit top modelish, but I didn't recognise any of them as stars or socialites. Still would have been the one taking the photos!

  9. My nightstand pile never seems to get very big since lately I stay up until the book I'm reading is done. Theonly one I have that I'm working my way through slowly right now is The Pink Forest by Dana Dorfman. It's an interactive fiction about one woman's search to discover her inner self and is providing me with lots of food for thought and journal entries.
