I’m starting to think about what books I want to take on vacation. Ideally, I’ll take only my Ebookwise and one paperback book, which leaves out most of the ARCs I have left to read. Except Lady of Light and Shadows because the fabulous Erin at Dorchester sent me a pdf copy this week. Yay!
But this means I have to choose between taking The Down Home Zombie Blues by Linnea Sinclair or The Road to Hell by Jackie Kessler, since I have paper copies of both of those. Oh the agony of decisions.
So far I’ve put on my Ebookwise, Lady of Light and Shadows and High Noon by Nora Roberts (because no way am I schlepping my hardcover copy in my luggage, especially when I’m taking the big-ass Disney book with). I looked to see if any of the Shomi books were available in ebook format, especially Driven, which I’ve heard great things about, but they don’t seem to be. I’ve just started reading a science fiction/futuristic series by Kristine Smith, but that doesn’t seem to be available in ebook format, either. And I would consider taking SL Viehl’s Stardoc series since I’ve read the first two and would love to continue, but I haven’t been able to find most of those in ebook format. See my issues here? I’d buy a lot more books if I could get my hands on electronic copies. And if I have them in ebook, I’m much more likely to read them thanks to sheer convenience.
But I’ll take recommendations if anyone has any, of books I should take on vacation. They don’t have to be in ebook format, but I probably won’t consider them if they aren’t (though that doesn’t mean I won’t consider them to buy for future reading pleasure). Anyone?
An ebook series that I really enjoyed was by JB Skully. The first book is Dead to the Max, with a total of 5 books in the series. Each book is a new storyline, though I would recommend reading them in order because an important part of each plot does carry over in each story. I had them all loaded on my last road trip, and read them all back to back. Got them over at Fictionwise.
It’s too bad they don’t have the Shomi books as e-books. I just finished Driven at lunch today and it was really good. I enjoyed it more than the other book I’ve read in the line.
Here are a couple that might be worth your while.
Solomon’s Jar by Alex Archer
Charmed to Death by Shirley Damsgaard
Also if you like shorter, erotic fare:
Wicked Temptation by Cora Zane
I Put A Spell On You or Compulsion by Cassandra Curtis
(shameless self-promotion) LOL
Even though these e-books come from a rival e-pub, I highly recommend them:
Out Of This World
A Lick And A Promise
Both are by Ann Wesley Hardin and are available at Ellora’s Cave. If you do purchase them, read Out Of This World first. It is funny and steamy at the same time.
