BTT: Current

I haven’t done a Booking Through Thursday prompt in eons, mostly because they haven’t really appealed. Today’s does.

It’s all about what we’re reading now, and if we enjoy it and all that.

So…

I’m reading three books right now — an ARC copy of Jennifer Estep’s Venom. It’s coming out on September 28 (yeah, I waited until the last minute. The file refused to convert to .epub nicely, so I have to read on the laptop) and if you haven’t started Jennifer’s Elemental Assassin series yet, you are SO missing out. Start with Spider’s Bite, the first, and go from there.

Really. Jennifer knows how to build a world that’s so comfortable, you’ll think YOU live there.

I’m also about to finish up Linda Fairstein’s Death Dance. If you’ve read my book talks for any length of time, you’ll remember I’m a HUGE Fairstein fan. You don’t have to read the series in order. They’re smart and full of historical facts about the city of New York. During her years as a prosecutor, Fairstein herself pioneered a lot of the ways in which rape victims are dealt with and helped in the court system. We’ve still got a long way to go, but she was instrumental in taking those first vital steps.

And finally, because I needed something to read and the laptop was tied up by children or husband — not to mention I’m overdue to turn the review in — I’m reading Jan Bornstein’s Deuces are Wild. It’s the third in a trilogy, and it’s rock and roll fiction. I’m not terribly far into it yet, so we’ll see…

Remember to keep your eyes on Rocks ‘n Reads for other books I’m reading. Add it to your reader; I don’t post there often.
