Book 5 of 52

I had been a head of the game with my 52 books in 52 weeks challenge. I was a book ahead of where I should be and it was nice knowing I didn't have to rush at all. Well, this past week I lost my lead. I am  now on track. I just finished the 5th book. Once Michael and I decided to get married on our anniversary... it threw everything else off. But its not a large price to pay for having the small wedding we wanted and being as happy as we are.

The book I just read was Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead. I have already read her Vampire Academy series (and am impatiently awaiting the next book due out in May). Since my mind was in so many other places the last two weeks, it was a bit difficult getting into the book. Which I assure you was purely my issue and not at all due to anything lacking in the book. The plot was a bit slower than her other novels but was every bit as interesting. The characters, even though most are considered to be evil beings, were easy to love and respect. Richelle is very good at creating new and exciting worlds and I'm not going to lie... she sure can write a good "love" scene. I was intrigued with the way she incorporated the author character, Seth, into the book. It made me wonder if he had been based off of herself. He was just as sweet and down-to-earth as she seems to be. I cannot wait to hear more about him in the next book. As for now, I have not yet decided what to read next... whether I will continue directly with her series or wait a bit so that it will last longer.

I am currently working a few crochet projects and plan to have pictures available soon. I did, however, crochet a cute little drawstring pouch that I carried on my wedding day... so I will post pics of that. I just improvised this pattern so if anyone needs help just message me and I can tell you how I did it.
