Getting lost in a world all my own...

Or rather one of someone else s imagination

I love to read, just ask anyone close to me or who have lived with me.  I have books everywhere, I talked my roommate (Typh) into building me a built in bookshelf in our living room so I could have room to buy more books! Although he has issues with follow through and perfectionism as in it/he always be right so needless to say it never got completed in the the two years he lived with me, although the parts of it are all over my house, until another friend (Woody) was visiting and finished it, well tried to Typh never cut all the pieces apparently and those he did cut were not even!!!  

see how the shelves are crooked & there are not enough to reach to top!!

 ANY WAY that is another story, well kind of, back to my books and new ones I have been reading lately.  I have been reading two different series from an author Karen Moning, she may be my new favorite (sorry Julia Garwood) 

This is my favorite of the Fae series I have read it 3 times already :)

Not only does it have the underlying love story, which you know I love, but it has a ton of Celtic history which I adore; Druids, Fae of both Light and Dark courts, Mystical Hallows of the Tuatha De Danann I mean what more can a girl as for!

There are two series one is the Fever series which follows the life of a MacKayla Lane as she searches for her sisters killer in a foreign city all while learning about her destiny as a sidhe-seer.  All 5 books are her narration of the on going escalation between the human realm in which we live and the hidden realm of the Fae that is here with us but not seen.  The second series is the Highlander series in which many back stories of characters you meet in the Fever series are told.  Unlike the Fever books, each Highlander book is a "stand alone" romance about different couples although there are many shared characters between them all. Although I enjoyed the Highlander series, they are not what I would call "have to read again & again books" but knowing me I will.  The Fever series on the other hand just sucks you in and you can't stop reading.  I am SO SO glad I stumbled on to them after they had all been released, I don't know what I would have done if I had had to wait a year or so for the next book to come out as I have very little patience. 

The best thing I love about reading is that I am able to get lost in a world that is not my own.  For a brief period of time I am able to forget about my issues which sadly are numerous and live in a world of fantasy, magick, love and romance.  Seeing as how I don't have many of those things in my real life its nice to lose myself in them when I can.  

Well I hope you all take the time to check out some of these books, and enjoy them as much as I do.  Comment back and let me know what you think.
