Happy New Year! It is hard for me to believe that 2012 is here. It seems like only yesterday we were ringing in 2011. Where does the time go? It seems like we all lead busy lives and I am going to do my best to slow down and smell the roses this year because before we know it, it will be summer (my favorite season). I hope everyone had a great holiday with family and friends and was able to eat some good food. I got several bookstore gift cards for Christmas and will be putting them to good use because the January releases are upon us!
Which January releases have you read? Of those, which ones do you recommend? Which ones are you most looking forward to reading? Tell us and one lucky commenter will win a random book from my prize stash!
Until February, happy reading!

ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these books yet, but am really looking forward to "On Lavender Lane" by JoAnn Ross.

ReplyDeleteMad About the Earl – Christina Brooke
Trouble at the Wedding – Laura Lee Guhrke
Sunrise with a Notorious Lord – Alexandra Hawkins

I read "The Scottish Prisoner", then caught up on some of my 2011 books, but I REALLY hope you'll check out my debut, "UNDER THE SAME SKY"!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to all Jude Deveraux's books.
ReplyDeletei have soem of them already but havent' started any and want the Carla Cassidy book next wasn't aware she has a new book coming out...thanks for the list!!
ReplyDeleteDonna
I've only read a few of these yet, Trouble at the Wedding, The Duke is Mine and How the Marquess Was Won and Sunrise with a Notorious Lord. I have to say that I absolutely adored Sunrise with a Notorious Lord. Looking forward to reading Mad About the Earl, Bride by Mistake, and Twice Fallen.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Flora! Love it. I hope you enjoy TM's!
ReplyDeleteJane, that book has a beautiful cover. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteDianna, your list looks EXACTLY like mine! Great minds and all... ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi, Genevieve, and thanks for stopping by! Your debut looks amazing and I love the trailer. I wish you the best of luck!
ReplyDeleterunner10, I've only read one of Jude's books (LEGEND) and really enjoyed it. I'd love to read more but her backlist is so daunting!
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome, Donna. I'm glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteDtchycat said: I have to say that I absolutely adored Sunrise with a Notorious Lord.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad to hear it! :)
Andrea, I haven't read any of these yet. I have Lure of Song and Magic by Patricia Rice and Mad About the Earl by Christina Brooke, but I'm always chronically behind in my reading. I hope to catch up, paring down the TBR pile in the process, this year.
ReplyDeleteRead and loved How The Marquess Was Won :) Love to hear other reader's favorites and reviews - helps pick out my next read!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific list! Happy New Year to all of you!
ReplyDeleteplanning on fitting in reading of:
ReplyDelete-my ruthless prince
-sunrise with a notorious lord
-how the marquiess was won
-wildcat
but there are several others that sound interesting & will likely find a place on the tbr pile too
I haven't actually read any of these yet. I'm kind of behind on my reading and I'm still going through books from December.
ReplyDeleteA lot of these look good
I finished LLG's Trouble at the Wedding (great!) and about to start Eloisa's The Duke is Mine. Will also have to check out the new Christina Brooke and Julie Ann Long. Great list of books! :)
ReplyDeleteI've read A Lady Awakened (great cover) and just purchased Twice Fallen and How the Marquess Was Won. I also hope to read Destiny.
ReplyDeleteWow! I have more on my already-read list this month than on my TBR list. I’ve read and enjoyed to varying degrees all of the following:
ReplyDeleteThe Other Guy’s Bride – Connie Brockway
Bride by Mistake – Anne Gracie
Trouble at the Wedding – Laura Lee Guhrke
The Duke Is Mine – Eloisa James
How the Marquess Was Won – Julie Anne Long
The Pleasure of Your Kiss – Teresa Medeiros
Sanctuary Cove – Rochelle Alers
Hidden Summit - Robyn Carr
Lover’s Leap – Emily March
On Lavender Lane – JoAnn Ross
The Lure of Song and Magic – Patricia Rice
Most on this list are by auto-buy authors for me, and I’d recommend them. Since I’ve reviewed both here, it’s no secret that I had some problems with the Alers book and with Robyn Carr’s (one of my favorite authors). But even so, I think they are worth reading.
I’m reading Kaki Warner’s Colorado Dawn today, and Christina Brooke’s Mad About the Earl is next. Others on my list include At the King’s Pleasure – Kate Emerson, My Ruthless Prince – Gaelen Foley, A Lady Awakened – Cecilia Grant, Be My Texas Valentine – Jodi Thomas, Linda Broday, Phyliss Miranda, DeWanna Pace, and Copper Beach – Jayne Anne Krantz. I’m also looking forward to Lisa Dale’s A Promise of Safekeeping and Kay Stockham’s newest North Star, Montana book, A Hero in the Making.
Great list of books, looking forward to them.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of books out this month that I want to read from these authors: Laura Lee Guhrke, Cecilia Grant, Julie Anne Long and Eloisa James to begin with.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read Sins of the Demons, Stripped, To Walk The Night, Archon and All That Bleeds! January has some fantastic releases! ;)
ReplyDeleteI need to catch up on Julie Anne Long, I love her!
Nancy, you are not alone!! I am SO behind in my reading. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteChristy P, I recently discovered Julie Anne Long's books (yay!) and can't wait to find the time to read her newest in between review books. *g*
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you, too, Kellie!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, gamistress66!
ReplyDeleteMaria, I'm behind on my reading as well. Hopefully one of these days... lol
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear LLG's newest is great, Lisa! I can't wait to read it. :)
ReplyDeletePenfield, I added A Lady Awakened to my list because the plot is sort of unusual..and I like that. How did you like it?
ReplyDeleteJanga, as always, great list. I'm blown away by how many books you read!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them, Virginia!
ReplyDeleteThose terrific authors are a great start, Maureen!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy them, kara-karina!

2. The Price of Temptation
3. My Ruthless Prince
4. Bride by Mistake
5. Sunrise With A Notorius Lord
6. Trouble at the Wedding
7. This Duke is Mine
8. How the Marquess Was Won
9. Warriors Redemption
10. Twice Fallen
By the middle of the month I'm sure I'll be adding more! I'm already stacking the firewood by my chair in front of the fireplace but first I have to get them all downloaded on my Kindle!
Although there are lots of awesome books that I'm looking forward to reading, I'm particularly looking forward to these books:
ReplyDeleteThe Duke Is Mine – Eloisa James
The Pleasure of Your Kiss – Teresa Medeiros
The Lure of Song and Magic – Patricia Rice
Hold Me if You Can – Stephanie Rowe

ReplyDeletehot books
ReplyDeletecant wait for carly phillips
@Andrea A Lady Awakened was a good book. In the beginning, the heroine is cold and self-contained, but if you stick with it, it's an interesting debut book.
