Bookish Pursuits... Onward!

Checking in to see how my favorite book monsters' are doing.

Hi, Monsters!

The days are flying by! I can’t believe we’re already into the middle of July. How are things going with you? What new adventures have you been embarking on? (*Sidenote: I consider even small events to be adventures. ) Have you read any great books lately? Tell us all the things!

You might remember that I asked in my last post if you’d like to join me in a summer reading challenge. Since the days have slipped away so quickly and we’re already half-way through the summer months (for my northern hemisphere friends, anyway), I went ahead and just made up a fun, little, mix-and-match reading card for us. If you’d like to see if you can fill some of these in, I encourage you to try and will even offer up some book recs to get you going. If you make all of the cross offs by, lets say September 10th, and send me a screen shot of your card, I’ll put your name in a drawing for a *free ebook of your choice from me!

Let’s get reading, lairlings!

(Disclaimer - This is absolutely just a “for fun” activity for anyone who wants to participate. ;))

I decided not to get too specific on book genre for this one. Pretty much whatever you’re in the mood for. Just cross a book type to an activity and enjoy! If you have any book loving friends you want to invite to join in, share this post with them. The more the merrier!

*Must be subscribed to Monsters & Mystics to win.

Sookie was a goddess in the kitchen, but a mediocre witch at best. Her spells seemed to take on a life of their own, to often hilarious–usually harmless–results. She just wanted her wings to be tastier. It was only a little spell, a few herbs and spices added to the sauce, a little rhyme to bind it together, and just a taste of razzle dazzle. Instead of bringing customers back for more finger-licking goodness, she found herself with a shifter problem. Specifically, a sexy, horny and tad bit geeky soul mate, who just wants to love her (and, ahem, love her). Worst part? The spice seemed to have settled in her girly bits, which sets them and her soul on fire every time she sees him.

Roman, a maine coon shifter, was without a cluster or a place in the world. When the mating call hit him between the eyes, he heeded it instantly. His body was burning for his one true mate. If only he could convince her to give him a chance.

Something is disrupting the careful balance holding the spells in place that keep the town safe. Eyes are pointed at Roman and the other supernatural beings who have begun settling in Winter Haven, and the call to kick them to the curb comes all too soon. Can Sookie learn to accept her mate's claim and heed the call of their bond? Will Roman lose the one connection he has left? Can love win the day and set about righting the wrongs, or are they destined to be star-crossed lovers? And what will happen to Witchy Wings, stuck in the middle of all of the chaos? Cause all Sookie wanted to do was show people nerdy girls can make hot sauce too.

Would Marian risk everything for a dark elf claiming to be her destiny?

Marian had a perfect life in Atlanta – her dream job at a museum, the perfect apartment to practice her magic, and a very nice man she’d been seeing for a few years. The only time she stepped outside of her orderly schedule was to spend a random weekend alone in the woods to paint. Little did she know what was waiting for her when she reserved a cabin at Black Moon Lake.

Lann was a dark elf heading home. He and his brothers were finished being guns for hire. They came to Earth ten years ago in search of their fated mates and fortunes. They were returning home wealthy single men trained to fight and defend.
Only days before he planned to go home he found her, the one woman who would complete him, too bad she wanted nothing to do with him.

Can Lann convince Marian that he is more than a soldier?
