update on what i've read and what about to read

in Taiwan i actually managed to read some books!
1. Firespell and Hexbound by Chloe Neill. I loved it. It was smart, funny and refreshing. Also I was wary to read it after small dissapointment on her Chicagoland Vamps series, but I'm glad it turned out a very interesting read. Can't wait for the 3d book, though it's so far away (Jan 2012)

2. Sea Glass and Spy Glass by Maria V Snyder who is now officially one of my most favourite authors. Seriously. Her plotlines are always twisted and intriguing. And she always finds a way to make you relate to the main character even in some quite confusing relationship situations. I got so captivated that I even reread the Study series.

3. Though not on Taiwan, but sometime before also read one book worth mentioning - Hexhall by Rachel Hawkings. Though more young than adult oriented with some cliched twists in a story it was memorable and now that the 2nd book - Demonglass is out I will read it with pleasure.

(not urban fantasy but still very much worth reading are The Books of Bayern by Shannon Hale, which again I've found on 4shared, that I'm thankful for every day. The books are fairytaleish, and I've always had a soft spot for those, but not the syrupy sweet kind)

A LOT of books from authors I'm keeping eye on have come out recently, so I'm giddy and excited and have no idea what should I read first so I'll just give you a list

1. Outside In by Maria V Snyder, I couldn't believe how awesome the first book of the Inside Out series was, though I'm not a particular fan of sci-fi, I guess it just happened to be found at the right time after I've watched City of Ember, which has a lot of parallels with Inside Out, and after I started reading it I couldn't stop. It just pushed all my right buttons. The strongheaded heroine caught in a middle of mutiny, reluctant to become a leader but still becoming one. Some mysteries to unveil and some riddles to solve. What's not to love?

2. Archangel's Consort by Nalini Singh. That was a shocker cause I was pretty sure that the series ended with the second book. But it's a very nice surprise! Can't wait to read in what danger Elena will end up again. Oh I hope there's gonna be a lot of danger, and good bed scenes, Nalini Singh knows how to write them hot

and btw I loathe this cover

3. Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs continues! With River Marked which I was delighted to see when randomly checked out her site. Mercy Thompson was one of the first werewolves series I've read and loved and still reread from time to time.

4. Secrtes of the Demon by Diana Rowland. It took her long time to release this one. The 3d book of the series that have a lot of detective and cop stuff in them, cause Diana Rowland herself is a retired detective(!) And this ex-cop has quite an imagination! The atmosphere of the first 2 books was great, the bed scenes hot and the storyline interesting to follow.

So I've got some stuff to read! And something to kill time while waiting on new releases from Ilona Andrews, Chloe Neill, Amanda Hocking, Tate Hallaway, Katie MacAlister, Kiersten White, Maggie Stiefvater, Richelle Mead and Lilith Saintcrow
