Quote of the Day 02/13/13

"How could one sentence uttered in anger cause so much damage? But then words were the most powerful thing in the universe. Cuts and bruises always healed, but words spoken in anger were most often permanent. They didn't damage the body, they destroyed the spirit." - Sherrilyn Kenyon, Acheron

Quote of the Day 02/12/13

“It's easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, their present and their past, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight. And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.” 
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Acheron

Here's the answers to this week meme's from Should Be Reading's blog. Feel free to leave your comments with the answers to these questions and be sure to check out their blog as well for other's answers.

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions in the comment section or in your own blog then link it from the comments.

• What are you currently reading?

• What did you recently finish reading?

• What do you think you’ll read next?

What are you currently reading?  Unfortunately, the answer at the moment is nothing.  I just finished Acheron this weekend.  This week is a busy week between Christmas parties and planning to run a booth at the mall this weekend.  I don't have time to read this week, but I bet at the booth I'll have a couple books with me to read.

What did you recently finish reading? The Guardian by Sherrilyn Kenyon.  One of the books in her Dream Hunter series, part of her larger Dark-Hunters series, the book tells the story of Were-Jackal Lydia, who is a Dream Hunter as well, and Egyptian Demigod Seth.  Perhaps one of Kenyon's darker books, the story revolves around trust and trusting others.

This is gonna be a two-fer.  I also finished reading Acheron from last week.


Acheron tells the story of an Atlantean god, Acheron's human birth into the world of the Greeks, how he was raised as an abomination, the trials he faced, and ultimately overcame.  It covered his birth through the time he was 21.  After which it jumps several times, covering how the Dark-Hunters were created, their purpose and what Acheron's purpose is.  It then jumps to present day where we eventually get to meet the woman who will help show him what love is.

A review of these two novels is forthcoming.


What do you think you will read next?  I plan to pick up the book I was reading before these books came in the mail called Crusader Gold by David Gibbons.  Apparently the second book in a series regarding archaeologist Jack Howard.  Naturally, I picked up this book, the second in the series, at a garage sale without checking to see if it was in a series.  The good news, you can pick this book up without knowing anything about the previous books and be okay reading it.  There's some references to a previous expedition in the book, but there doesn't seem to be any details you'd need to know about the previous expedition for the current one.  This is a pure fiction book, with a bit of historical mystery mixed in- no romance involved at all- so good for anyone who likes to read a book without romance.

Another of the meme's from Should Be Reading's blog. Feel free to leave your comments with the answers to these questions and be sure to check out their blog as well for other's answers.

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?

As mentioned in a blog post earlier this week, books that I had been waiting to come in finally came in from Hastings, so I spent the weekend devouring the books and playing video games. That being said, my answers to the questions are as follows:


What are you currently reading? The Guardian by Sherrilyn Kenyon.  One of the books in her Dream Hunter series, part of her larger Dark-Hunters series, the book tells the story of Were-Jackal Lydia, who is a Dream Hunter as well, and Egyptian Demigod Seth.  Perhaps one of Kenyon's darker books, the story revolves around trust and trusting others.  Almost finished reading this one.


What did you recently finish reading? No Mercy by Sherrilyn Kenyon.  This tells the story of one of the were-bear quadruplets, Dev.  I knew of Dev from a few of the past books, but this tells Dev's story and his falling in love with a Dark-Hunter and vice versa.  Once again, a great story, unique characters and enemies you love to hate.




What do you think you'll read next? Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon.  This is actually a re-read. I borrowed the larger hardcover book from the library and read it.  Twice.  And now I'll be reading it a third time.

What Got Me Reading Sherrilyn Kenyon

I wrote this review a little more than a year ago for Romancing the Page.  It was the first book I had picked up written by Sherrilyn Kenyon, a novella in all actuality, but the short, sweet nature of the book and her writing style got me hooked.

As mentioned in the very first part of the review over there:

I was looking for something new and figured if there was a small novella to read, I could judge if I would continue reading books by that author.

That novella sold me. After I got home, and started reading, I couldn’t put it down.  At 86 pages, it was incredibly short compared to the size of novels I usually read.  However, it was very well written and told the story, generating my interest me in one of her many worlds.

It is still a book I pick up and re-read when I want something quick to read and enjoy.
