Today I am sharing the books I am currently reading or listening to. If you feel so inclined, do the same by posting in the comments at the end.
Clicking on the book covers below will take you to Amazon. Use of these links supports this blog and is very much appreciated. I also recommended checking with your library (if you want to save some $$$).
On my Kindle, I am reading The Poisoner’s Ring (A Rip Through Time, #2) by Kelley Armstrong. Last year, I really enjoyed A Rip Through Time, so I am anxious to see where this story is headed. In the first book, after an attack, a time travelling 21st century police officer wakes up in the body of a Victorian era maid with a less than stellar reputation. In this book, Mallory’s strange secret is out to a selective few, so her skills may be called upon to solve another mystery or two.
About The Poisoner’s Ring
Edinburgh, 1869: Modern-day homicide detective Mallory Atkinson is adjusting to her new life in Victorian Scotland. Her employers know she’s not housemaid Catriona Mitchell―even though Mallory is in Catriona’s body―and Mallory is now officially an undertaker’s assistant. Dr. Duncan Gray moonlights as a medical examiner, and their latest case hits close to home. Men are dropping dead from a powerful poison, and all signs point to the grieving widows… the latest of which is Gray’s oldest sister.
Poison is said to be a woman’s weapon, though Mallory has to wonder if it’s as simple as that. But she must tread carefully. Every move the household makes is being watched, and who knows where the investigation will lead.
My current audiobook is still The Choice (The Dragon Heart Legacy, #3) by Nora Roberts which I started last week. I need more listening time!
About The Choice
Breen Siobhan Kelly grew up in the world of Man and was once unaware of her true nature. Now she is in Talamh, trying to heal after a terrible battle and heartbreaking losses. Her grandfather, the dark god Odran, has been defeated in his attempt to rule over Talamh, and over Breen―for now.
With the enemy cast out and the portal sealed, this is a time to rest and to prepare. Breen spreads her wings and realizes a power she’s never experienced before. It’s also a time for celebrations―of her first Christmas in both Talamh and Ireland, of solstice and weddings and births―and daring to find joy again in the wake of sorrow. She rededicates herself to writing her stories, and when his duties as taoiseach permit, she is together with Keegan, who has trained her as a warrior and whom she has grown to love.
It’s Keegan who’s at her side when the enemy’s witches, traitorous and power-mad, appear to her in her sleep, practicing black magick, sacrificing the innocent, and plotting a brutal destruction for Breen. And soon, united with him and with all of Talamh, she will seek out those in desperate need of rescue, and confront the darkness with every weapon she has: her sword, her magicks―and her courage…
Tell me! What are you reading?
Whiskey With My Book 
I finally caved and bought Under Lock & Skeleton Key by Gigi Pandian. If I remember correctly, it was originally 14.99 and has now dropped below $10. Still an ouch, but I have been wanting to read it and when I checked, my library didn’t have it (yet?). In any case, it will be my reward read if I can make good progress on my next book.
