5 Books On My Desk

[keiramarcos]

The fact is that I mostly buy ebooks these days but our house is loaded down with print books that we bought before we had devices for ebook reading because both my husband and I are both avid readers. He also has a serious hard-on for audio books. Nine times out of ten, he's listening to audio book on his mp3 player instead of actual music.

1. The 15th Edition of the Chicago Style Manual (because I'm currently editing an article for a magazine that is due next week)

2. Master/slave Relations: Handbook of Theory and Practice by Dr. Robert J. Rubel (because I'm considering scenarios for the next TTB story)

3. Killers: The Most Barbaric Murderers of Our Times by Nigel Cawthorne (professional project research)

4. He Shall Thunder in the Sky by Elizabeth Peters (because it's my favorite book in that series)

5. The Shelter of Stone by Jean Auel (because a new book in this series is coming out soon and I was brushing up on it so I could be prepared for the hardcore reading session I'll have on my Kindle when it comes out)

Reading is my first love- I bought my ereader for Christmas and it's my favourite toy. I still love to read in print as well but the instant gratification of downloading ebooks is hard to beat. I have a small bookcase by my bed that holds my three favourite (long) series authors: Elizabeth Peters, J.D Robb, and Janet Evanovich. I like audio books as well for when I'm doing something where I need my hands free but I have to have read the book first, I'm too impatient to find out what happens to wait. I loved Stephen Fry's narration of the Harry Potter series and I want to start the Outlander series soon (each book is over a gigabyte in size- that's alot of listening). I have a hard time picking a favourite Peters book but He Shall Thunder is the Sky is in my top three, along with: The Ape Who Guards the Ballance and Children of the Storm.

10 Big Ones is on my "night table" and Betrayal in Death is in my purse. *grins* Does anyone else read multiple books at a time?

The In Death series is by absolute favorite! These are one of the few books that I'll actually pay full price for.

And doesn't Keira remind you of Eve Dallas?
