reading challenge
welcome book lovers
carpe librum
seize the books
each week myself and my BFF ann from over at Romancing the Readers or RTR)blog about book related themes on book club thursday(BCT)
theme:clearing off the book shelves:
read an author whose books you are +2 behind on
read any new to you author
read any series you are +2 behind on
start a new series
read a book you've had for six months or less
read a book you've had for over a year
read a book you've had for over five years
read a book you keep meaning to read
the full list and much more can be found right HERE
actually this book fits SO MANY of the challenges but i went with the one i highlighted
It’s not easy being a female warrior with a nickname like Annwyl the Bloody. Men tend to either cower in fear, or else salute. It’s true she has a knack for decapitating legions of her ruthless brother’s soldiers without pausing for breath. But just once it would be nice to be able to really talk to a man…the way she can talk to Fearghus the Destroyer.
Too bad Fearghus is a dragon. With him, Annwyl feels safe—a far cry from the feelings aroused by the hard-bodied, arrogant knight Fearghus has arranged to help train her for battle. With her days spent fighting a man who fills her with fierce, heady desire, and her nights spent in the company of a magical creature who could smite a village just by exhaling, Annwyl is sure life couldn’t get any stranger.
i have the book with the original cover that also includes the short story Chains & Flames, but i'm only going to talk about Dragon Actually
shame shame shame shame (you get the idea) on me for waiting FOREVER to finally read this book
in fact, i dug up ALL of the books in this series i own and BOUGHT all but one of the ones i was missing
i laughed so much reading this book
and Annwyl and Fearghus are probably two of my favorite main characters ever
there's a modern flair/tone to Ms Aiken's style that many historical romances miss, which made this book even more fun to read
i plan to read the others very soon - i'd love to hear your thoughts about this book OR if you have a favorite by her in this series
