Nothing.
That’s right, I didn’t finish a single book this week. I hate when all my reading is school related.
There are more books I should have finished this week, but it’s hard for me to finish books I’ve read previously, especially when they are assigned, and I’ve got more books to read. So a romance detour it was this week. If you can call two books a detour.
- Once Upon a Seduction — Jamie Sobrato
- Eye of Heaven — Marjorie M. Liu

- Once Upon a Seduction — Jamie Sobrato
- Eye of Heaven — Marjorie M. Liu
The best part about this week’s reading is that the bookstore put out Betrayed about a week early. I’m loving this series, and can’t wait until the next book comes out.
- Betrayed — P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast
- Jane Eyre — Charlotte Bronte
- Beyond Seduction — Stephanie Laurens
- East Lynne: Adapted from the Novel by Mrs Henry Wood — Lisa Evans
I’m not a super big fan of reading plays, but the adaptation of East Lynne totally beat out having to read a gigantic book for Victorian Lit.

I love when romance authors have names that sound like they should be porn stars.
- Spellbound — Cate Tiernan
- Garden Spells — Sarah Addison Allen
- Wicked Nights — Nina Bangs
Spellbound is the last of the re-issued Tiernan novels for now. Just have to wait for the final eight to be released, or hope the library has them, because I so want to read the rest of the story.
As it turns out, so much easier to read romance and and paranormal stuff than actual assigned reading.
- Harlequin Presents: The Heiress Bride — Lynne Graham
- Dark Magick — Cate Tiernan
- Awakening — Cate Tiernan
Quite unsurprisingly, I have read another romance novel named The Heiress Bride, aside from the one this week. And it’s sitting on my bookshelf. I love reused names.
Bit weird that I managed to finish of three books this week, with everything else I’ve been doing, but then again, Oliver Twist was assigned reading. Sadly, I’ll probably re-read half of it over the course of the week since I have an essay due next Monday about it.
- Tithe – Holly Black
- England, England– Julian Barnes
- Oliver Twist — Charles Dickens
I could go into Oliver Twist. In fact, I will, with the essay that I don’t want to write, but suffice to say that I wasn’t particularly thrilled with it, and the coincidences wouldn’t fly in a modern novel.
And jesus, how did I manage to go a whole week without a trashy romance?
It’s hard to believe that I managed to read two books this week. Granted, they’re both romance, but it’s better than nothing at this point. Between all the reading for my genre class and my Victorian lit class, I barely want to pick up another book.
- Knight of a Trillion Stars — Dara Joy
- A Hunger Like No Other – Kresley Cole
It’s good to know that even alien men look like Fabio, and that a vampire and a werewolf can find a happily ever after.
Turns out, it’s hard to read for fun when you’re being attacked from reading assignments on all sides. And really, Victorian essays are no place to begin the semester. Makes me want to quit while I’m still ahead. Or headache-less. Thank good for romance.
