I was so busy in the run up to Christmas that I didn’t have a chance to blog and wish everyone a wonderful holiday with their friends and families. I hope you’ve all had a great time.<\/p>\n

I spent Christmas day with my family, but there’s so many illnesses going around at the moment that not everyone could make it, and some of those who did really weren’t up for a party. New Year’s Eve will hopefully see everyone feeling much better and up for a paaaarty.<\/p>\n

I received some new books for my TBR pile this Christmas. They’re joining my long list of books from my birthday (back in April!) that I haven’t had a chance to read yet. I did take a day out yesterday to read Lara Adrian’s Kiss of Crimson, which was fairly good. I solid good, 3.5 stars. I liked it, but it lacked emotional depth in places where I wanted it most, and the ending was resolved far too easily. I like fights to be a little more difficult.<\/p>\n

My full list of books received at Xmas are:<\/p>\n

Lara Adrian – Kiss of Crimson
Lara Adrian – Midnight Awakening
Lara Adrian – Midnight Rising
Lara Adrian – Veil of Midnight
Lara Adrian – Taken by Midnight<\/p>\n

J R Ward – Covet<\/p>\n

Gena Showalter – The Darkest Kiss
Gena Showalter – The Darkest Pleasure
Gena Showalter – The Darkest Whisper
Gena Showalter – The Darkest Passion<\/p>\n

I love Ward and Adrian. Showalter not so much but I’m curious about her stories. I’ve read the first one and it was okay. I’m reading her more as competition research. I now have 16 books on my TBR list at Goodreads:<\/p>\n

I’d better get cracking. I’m determined to squeeze in some reading time this coming year!<\/p>\n

Did you all have a great Christmas? What books or e-books did you receive?<\/p>\n
