I admit it, I am on an anti-historical turn. The proof? Auto-buy Loretta Chase sitting on my table, unread. Next to Julia Quinn. And there's the embarrassingly dusty Johanna Lindsay I have not read yet, either. Because right now the only rake I have any interest in has a long wooden handle and will be used to put leaves into recyclable bags for pickup at the curb.
I dunno why, but there you have it. I'm reading non-fiction and YA and fantasy. I am finally getting around to reading Good Omens, which you'd think I would have read years ago when I first glommed Discworld, but there's no time like the present. Especially when I'm not into the past, unless it's ancient history, which makes my toes curl.
What are you reading? Anything good?
Hi Charli. I lost your blog
Hi Charli. I lost your blog during your move, I like the new place :)
Funny thing, I've been on a historical binge the past few weeks. I actually read my first ever Julia Quinn within the past month. I go through phases though and I guess I'm into historials right now :)
Rhonda, glad you found the
Rhonda, glad you found the new blog! I had to move for stability. I tend to go through reading cycles, too. Historicals will get their turn. ; )
I think that our reading
I think that our reading habits cycle. Right now, all I want to read is paranormal or contemporary. I'm not really interested in historical. Although, I did go through a historical binge about six months ago. :-)

NJ, sometimes a good contemporary is just the thing. For some reason, I haven't grabbed any holiday reads, and those have got to be hitting the shelves!
I've pretty much given up on
I've pretty much given up on romance historicals; about all I read now is whatever Mary Balogh chooses to publish to ease my suffering. :)
At the moment I'm re-reading for the hundredth or so time <em>The Doll's House</em> by Evelyn Anthony.
Must look up The Doll's House
Must look up The Doll's House if it's good enough to re-read over and over! I like Julia Templeton's historicals, maybe I should see if she has a new one out.
I read my first historical
I read my first historical this summer (the first historical Blaze, which I'm not sure really counts *g*) and followed it up with Gayle Callen's latest. She's a chapter mate, so I wanted to give her historical a try. Really liked it! But as with music, no one genre can hold my attention too long. Except for, apparently, humorous paranormals, though I mostly write hot contemporary. Go figure. :)
