I go through periods where I read a book a day and I go through periods where I don’t read for ages. I also read different types of books for various reasons.

I love my iPad and I download most of my books now days using iBooks. I find it is comfortable to read and I can adjust the text size (major selling point for me). Buying books online is also far cheaper than buying them at our local bookstores.

I do however still like to buy the odd softcover book as I like to read in the bath and I daren’t take my iPad into the bath. These are some of the books I have read in the last 6 months – I have separated them into various categories:

Books I read in bed:
I like to read historical / period romances in bed – this is light reading, I don’t need to think about what I am reading and it generally helps me to sleep.

Sabrina Jeffries:

• Dance of Seduction
• The Dangerous Lord
• The Forbidden Lord
• A Hellion in her Bed
• How to Woo a Reluctant Lady
• Married to a Viscount
• The Pirate Lord

Nora Roberts: I have read a lot of her books, but not that many recently:

• The Heart of Devin MacKade

Lyndsay Sands:

• Born to bite
• Hungry for you
• (both of the above are part of the Argeneau series about a modern family of Vampires)
• The Countess

Christina Dodd:

• Taken by the Prince
• In Bed with the Duke

Jane Feather:

• A Wedding Wager
• Rushed to the Alter

Laurell K Hamilton:

• Guilty Pleasures (about a vampire hunter)

Books I read in the bath:
These are typically books that have more of a storyline and equire the brain to gently kick into gear for the day – usually takes me longer to read as I don’t often have the time to linger in the bath for long periods:

• John Grisham – Theodore Boone – The Abduction (part of John Grisham’s 9-13 year old series)
• Patricia Cornwell – Port Mortuary
• Jeffrey Deaver – Edge
• Jeffrey Deaver – Burning Wire

Erotica:
To read when feeling down or neglected, or just curious……

• Best Women’s Erotica 2011 (short stories)
• Bella Andre – Candy Store
• Lillian Snow – Threesomes, The Collection
• K Lyn – The Hot Repair Man
• Anne Rice – The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty – This has to be one of the worst books I have ever read. It fits firmly into the Erotica category and it brings a whole new meaning to the term “Sex Slave”. Somehow though, I could not put it down and I read the whole book – I kept thinking there would be some point to the story (not that you expect a storyline when reading Erotica) or that it would get better (or perhaps I was just curious). Wikipedia classifies it as Erotic BDSM set in a Medieval Fantasy World. Definitely not
  my type of book and I won’t be reading the other 2 parts of the Trilogy.

Currently Reading:

• Philippa Gregory (One of my favourite Authors) – The Lady of the Rivers (reading in the bath)
• Nora Roberts – The Return of Rafe MacKade (reading in bed)

Sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be read:

• Nora Roberts – Chasing Fire
• Jean M Auel – The Clan of the Cave Bear (This is apparently classified as Erotica – 1501 pages of it – rather curious as to how or why it would be so long)
   

Let me know what you are all reading…
