* Anxiously Awaiting as of mid-November 2010


I am currently reading Magic at the Gate, the fifth Allie Beckstrom book by Devon Monk. But I'm also participating in NaNoWriMo, so it's taking longer for me to get through a book. In fourteen days I've read Nalini Singh's Play of Passion, and half of Magic at the Gate. Considering that I usually read four or five books a week, that's not a lot. But I'm also at 41,000 words on my NaNoWriMo book, and I'm really enjoying the process. 

But, onto the Anxiously Awaiting list:

I've marked the new finds in red, in case you're just looking for the new stuff. If there is new information - a link to Amazon, a release date, or something has changed, then it's red.  I've also put an (e) next to the books that have an excerpt out, clicking the (e) will take you to my listing of excerpts.

If someone wants to send me an ARC of one of the books on my Anxiously Awaiting list, I will read it within a day or two of it arriving (assuming I'm home and I'm not sick or anything), and will get a blog post up of it as soon as I've finished reading it. You may send me a digital version at chained lightning at g mail dot com, or to send a hard copy you may contact me at that email address to ask for a shipping address. If you have an ARC you would like to send that is not on my Anxiously Awaiting list I will attempt to read and review it in a timely manner but it may not be placed topmost in my TBR pile. Feel free to email me to see if I'd be interested in reading something, as well. I've found a few authors this way that I may not have read had I not received a review copy -- and now I'm hooked on a few of those series, just waiting for the next book.

  2. I'm enjoying it so far, but I'm not far enough along to give it any sort of rating.
