    I’ve heard a lot of great things about Secret Society Girl. I’m going to have to pick it up. Happy New Year!

    I loved several of the books on your list, and they’ll be going on my fave list too…should I ever get it finished :giggle:

    I read #5 and #10…. But my resolution is to read more in 07, so this list will help. Thanks Angie!

    If I did a list, I think 3, 4, 6 and 10 will be on my list too.

    I have Visions of Heat already too, and can’t wait to read it. I was going to read it, but I had to read something for your TBR Challenge first.

    I’ve been meaning to read Smoke Thief for awhile! Now I finally have the time!

    wow …I’ve only read read one of those. I need to turn on the ‘puter and get back to reading. Too bad my New Year’s resolution is to keep my promise to you and blog more!

    Happy New Year, Angie. Hope you and Brianna are feeling better. :kissie:

    But I really want to read #10-thats definitely on my TBR. :}

    I haven’t read any of these. I guess I’m deprived. So many books so little time. My tbr pile grows daily and I finally found one published before 2006 for the Dec challenge. Not sure I’ll be here to post about it though. Ugh.

    Sad to say I’ve only read one book on this list, but I absolutely loved it! A friend gave me The Smoke Thief for my birthday and I just devoured it, then loaned it back to her so I’d have someone to talk with about it.

    Kate, jotting down the other titles for her TBB list…

  1. Nice Mommy~Evil Editor » 2006 Books Read - January 1, 2007

    [...] As I look back at my 2006 reads, here’s a few things I notice: I read only one non-fiction this year, Eats, Shoots, and Leaves (though I did start Jenna Jameson’s autobiography, I only got a few chapters in. It’s still sitting in a drawer in my bedside table). I read very few historicals that were first time reads, maybe two or three, while I re-read some old Julie Garwood historicals and that upped my historical count. Last, I read a lot of books in the paranormal romance or fantasy genre. That’s the majority of my reading for 2006 and where the main type of books that topped my favorites list. [...]

About Me


Angela James

There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.

However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy. At my blog you'll get an odd mix of personal and professional posts about parenting, publishing, books, cooking, sewing and life in general. Come back often, comment frequently and go green—buy ebooks!

Please note that this is my personal blog and my opinions are neither that of Harlequin, nor representative of their opinions.

 

Find Me Here

First, I blog once or twice a week at theCarina Press blog, talking about the job, the authors, the books and other things Carina Press. And, of course, you can always find me on Twitter. Or Facebook, if you prefer (mostly the same content, one feeds the other). I also run the Carina Press Twitter and Facebook accounts. Social media, it's where it's at (well, it's where I'm at, anyway).
