January Round Up



I read eight books this month. I’ve pledged to read 48 for the year, I figured roughly a book a week, with a couple of weeks off for holidays and such. Anyway, here are the books I read this month in no particular order. (That’s a lie, this is absolutely the order I read them in!)

The Midwife’s Marriage Proposal by Sarah Morgan

The Beast and the Bookseller by Eva Devon

Organizing for the Rest of Us by Dana K. White

Once Upon a Winter’s Eve by Tessa Dare

I’d Rather Be Reading by Guinevere de la Mare

When A Scot Ties The Knot by Tessa Dare

Montana Blaze by Lori Wilde and Julie Harrington

The Governess Game by Tessa Dare


Oddly the first and last books had a similar theme. The Midwife’s Marriage Proposal and The Governess Game both dealt with women that were orphans. Montana Blaze and The Beast and the Bookseller involved women who worked in bookstores and hoped to take them over in the future.

The standout author for me as you may have already guessed, was Tessa Dare. While I was aware of her, I never gave her much of a chance. So glad I did. When a Scot Ties the Knot may have been my favorite of the month with The Governess Game right behind it.

There are two books on the list that were just awful, I won’t name them, but let’s just say . . . WOW, I can’t believe those got published.
