3/15 to 3/18
It's here! Time to jam the weekend with those books. You know what I mean! Those books sitting over there looking at you. The ones that you (and I) have had sitting there for a lot long than a minute.
To help those who are taking part in the month long Take Control of Your TBR Pile Challenge (you
can still sign up) and anyone else who wants to catch up on some of
those reads collecting dust I will be hosting a read-a-thon. Anyone can
join in! The only requirement is that the books read must have been
published before March 2013. Each day there will be fun challenges and
prizes to help motivate you.
What is my Goal for this Read-A-Thon?
My Man Pendelton (e-book)
Marry the boss’s daughter?
Marry the boss’s daughter?
Pendleton
can’t believe his ears. He took this new job hoping to make money, not
marry into it. But if runaway heiress Kit McClellan doesn’t agree to
enter into wedded bliss soon, the entire family fortune could be willed
to the homeless pets of Louisville. Someone has to find Kit and bring
her back as his fiancée–and his boss is telling Pendleton he’s just the
man for the job.
Trouble is, Kit doesn’t give two hoots about her fortune–she’s looking for love…the sweep-you-off-your-feet kind of passion she’s never had before. When Pendleton comes striding into her life–sexy, attractive, and oh-so-handsome in his business suit–her heart tells her she’s finally found Mr. Right. But what if her heart is steering her wrong?

Angelology (hard cover)
A thrilling epic about an ancient clash reignited in our time- between a hidden society and heaven's darkest creatures
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them.
Genesis 6:5
Sister Evangeline was just a girl when her father entrusted her to the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in upstate New York. Now, at twenty-three, her discovery of a 1943 letter from the famous philanthropist Abigail Rockefeller to the late mother superior of Saint Rose Convent plunges Evangeline into a secret history that stretches back a thousand years: an ancient conflict between the Society of Angelologists and the monstrously beautiful descendants of angels and humans, the Nephilim.
For the secrets these letters guard are desperately coveted by the once-powerful Nephilim, who aim to perpetuate war, subvert the good in humanity, and dominate mankind. Generations of angelologists have devoted their lives to stopping them, and their shared mission, which Evangeline has long been destined to join, reaches from her bucolic abbey on the Hudson to the apex of insular wealth in New York, to the Montparnasse cemetery in Paris and the mountains of Bulgaria.
Rich in history, full of mesmerizing characters, and wondrously conceived, Angelology blends biblical lore, the myth of Orpheus and the Miltonic visions of Paradise Lost into a riveting tale of ordinary people engaged in a battle that will determine the fate of the world.
