All Books Considered

Today I am recapping the best read-a-thon EVER of the Georgina Kincaid series by Richelle Mead .  Specifically, over the past three weeks, a group of us has read (or re-read) the six books in this wonderful series!  Thank you so much to Nereyda and Megan for putting this all together and for having this vision! You can read more about #Georgiethon here but, basically, the past three weeks have been awesome.  I first read the Georgina Kincaid series over two years ago.  I remember devouring it the first time and it has since stuck in my mind as one of my all-time favorite series and Seth as one of my top book boyfriends !!  So I was super duper excited when Nereyda and Megan announced the read-a-thon because when I read the series the first time, I had no one with whom to squee/wail/discuss the books.   First, I loved the series even more on a re-read.  I picked up things I'm sure I didn't pick up the first time I read the ...

Today, in honor of #Georgiethon , I am spotlighting  Succubus Heat (Georgina Kincaid #4)  by Richelle Mead .  You can read more about #Georgiethon here !   And now, on to the swoon: We resumed kissing, doing no more than that, just letting our nearly bare bodies wrap around each other.  Having all this skin touching between us was heady.  Never, never had I imagined it could really happen.  Our hands explored each other, feeling every line and curve we'd always been denied.  Every gesture between us was exquisite.  Every caress was a prayer.  We regarded each other's bodies with wonder and joy.     Doesn't this make you want to read more?!  As I iterated last week, I am having...
