affrecaI should get back into the habit.
Currently reading - Karen Healey's Shattered is my current lunch book. I've had her friended on LJ for longer than she's been published, so I finally got around to reading her books (and friends have recommended her latest).
Recently Finished - I just finished Patricia Briggs' Frost Burned. While perfectly fine example of its subgenre, I really wish she'd return to non-urban fantasy stories. There aren't enough secondary world adventure fantasies with a strong romance sensibility.
Madeleine E. Robins' Spanish Marriage is an older historical romance. Which lead to a taste for historical romance,and a splurge of Courtney Milan (Unclaimed, Unraveled, The Duchess War, A Kiss for Midwinter, and The Governess Affair).
If I look back further, my reading included Karen Healey's other two books, Alma Alexander's Secrets of Jin-Shae (which I highly recommend to fans of Not!China and female friendship) and Elizabeth Bear's Shattered Pillars (I'm happy to note that she's turned the sequel into her publisher so I know the end of the trilogy is coming).
What next - Not sure. I picked up a couple of the newer Deryni books by Katherine Kurtz and three James White novels at the library book sale.
