Been a while but I've still been reading. I recently got some signed lovelies from Helena Hunting. Can I say it's awesome to have a writer that you have known from fanfic days remember that you are a fellow knitter and use that knowledge in signing a book for you!
So new books - one new and one I've read and loved forever. Pucked Up - the second in the Pucked series by Helena Hunting. This one is new to me and I'm excited to see how things are going in the hockey world that Helena has sucked me into. And the Librarian Principle, one of my favorites from fanfic days.
I look forward to reading and rereading these and sharing my thoughts with you.
My current read: Broken Juliet by Leisa Rayven

Review - The Paper Magician
The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg, Fiction/Sci-Fi & Fantasy, $4.99 Kindle on Amazon.com, Published September 1, 2014
I was able to get this book before publication via an Amazon First email. And I've had this review written and sitting, waiting for me to post it. Life got in the way but now I'm back in the game again.
Ceony has just graduated magic school and is beginning her apprenticeship with Magician Emery Thane. Mg. Thane works with a magic that Ceony has no wish to work with - Folding paper. But with the lack of Folders in the world it is what she is assigned to do. Mg. Thane is most unconventional and soon wins over Ceony to his style of magic. But every story isn't without a conflict. Mg. Thane is in trouble from an ex who is an Excisioner or someone who works blood magic.
Ceony soon finds herself chasing after the ex. Lira in order to save Mg. Thane and her chances of doing magic.
I wasn't so sure about this book to begin with, but after the slow start I was drawn into the story. I had a hard time putting my Kindle down when reading. I will be buying the continuation of this story The Glass Magician to see how their story progresses.

Review - Dog Gone, Back Soon by Nick Trout
Dong Gone, Back Soon by Nick Trout, Published April 8, 2014, $9.99 kindle edition on Amazon.com, Fiction
Cyrus Mills has come back home to take over his estranged father's veterinary practice after his death. But his small town practice has some competition with a national chain that is out for the kill. He's juggling saving his practice, trying to be less of a hermit, and trying to woo Amy. And there's the animals, Tallulah the stoned dog, Marmalade the overweight cat, Ermintrude the cow with bad migraines, and Stash the helper dog. Throw in two meddling teens and you have Cyrus in a pickle with a female vet from the competition.
Cyrus has to muddle through the things that are causing the issues with his animals. He's old fashioned and enjoys doing his own research and lab work. But dealing with the humans means he has to come out of his shell and talk to people. Which he slowly does and opens up to the women in his life.
Nick uses his veterinary experience to write his novels. It adds to the fiction in a way that enhances the novels but isn't overly technical with the jargon. His writing lures you in with the animals stories and the touch of love life thrown in as well. I look forward to reading Nick Trout's other novels and meeting the other animals the Cyrus works with.
