Reading list

This is not a full list of what I read this month. I don't usually remember that much.
1. Now I can die in Peace-Bill Simmons. About the Red Sox. Very funny and informative for all you baseball people.
2. What's A Ghoul to Do- Victoria Laurie. The jury's still out on this one. Interesting overall, but I didn't like either male secondary character and there was just something missing. Not as good as her Abby books.
3. The Trouble with Magic-Madeline Alt. A paranormal cozy set in Indiana. Fun and interesting, but I thought it tried too hard to be typical Mid-Western. I got the feeling that the author is a British transplant. She uses some heavy handed stereotypes and that isolated the main character.
4. A Charmed Death-Madeline Alt. The second in the series. Better. Less British and more interesting with the 'witchy' stuff. Still a little stereotypical. Maggie seems more wishy-washy with her family and friends in this one.
5. Rescue Me-Elda Minger. One of the last Harlequin Temptations. Good book. About a resurging action hero who saves two people from a gunpoint robbery. One is a young boy and the other a woman starting a new life. Yes, cliched. But a quick easy read with some fun and good sex.
6. The Prada Paradox-Julie Kenner. The final book in her Play.Survive.Win trilogy. This time it's set in L.A. They are making a movie about The Givenchy Code when the heroine of this book is targeted by the game. She's a former child star who was stalked and attacked by a crazed fan. After rehab and therapy she trying to make her way back. Until her attacker resurfaces and she gets a note in a Prada bag(I love that part!) telling her she must play or die.
7. The Key trilogy-Nora Roberts. Key of Light, Key of Knowledge and Key of Valor. It's a few years old, but worth the read. Three women are chosen to find three keys to free the souls of the Daughters of Glass. A Celtic myth. Vintage Nora. Funny, intelligent, well paced, and plotted. Main characters are strong and the secondary characters likable and forward the plot. Some people should take a lesson!
