Blog shopping

The other day Paperback Writer blogged about "blog shopping," buying books by authors you know of because you read their blog. It's interesting that she coined that phrase, because today I bought a book by, you guessed it, PBW (in one of her many incarnations). Specifically, I bought If Angels Burn by Lynn Viehl. The cover (which reminds me vaguely of Sherrilyn Kenyon's covers, now that I think of it) has intrigued me, so I finally decided to buy it.

I got a chance to read a few pages in the car when the baby demanded I put my shopping on hold for a few minutes and provide him with a snack (your wish is my command, my liege:-), and so far it's very gripping. Definitely dark (the heroine is a reconstructive surgeon, and some of the descriptions of her patients are quite disturbing) but fascinating. I have to confess I don't usually read vampire romances, but this looks like it'll be a terrific exception to the rule!

  5. Hi everyone here,

    I have started a new shopping portal - www.topestore.com where I have made my all endeavors to keep the prices highly competitive & a stores directory namely www.safeshoppe.com. I would thank the community here for their suggestion/advices. Please do not consider this a spam.
