My reveal:

In One Year and Out the Other

Book Description
Out with the old, in with the new, and on with the party!
Maybe it's just another midnight...or maybe there really is magic in the air when December 31st becomes January 1st, and confetti kisses and champagne toasts kick off a new year, a new romance, a new look, a new attitude.

Celebrate the start of something new with In One Year and Out the Other...a sparkling collection of all new stories by today's rising fiction stars:

Cara Lockwood puts self-improvement to the test with 528 resolutions -- not least of which is "Do not sleep with married men" -- in "Resolved: A New Year's Resolution List"...Pamela Redmond Satran instructs a single mom in the fine art of partying like the boys (have lots of sex, don't worry that you're too fat) in "How to Start the New Year Like a Guy"...Diane Stingley shows a twentysomething why there's more to life than waiting by the phone for a New Year's date in "Expecting a Call"...Megan McAndrew seizes the day -- or just a very special one-night stand -- for a single food stylist hungering for more in "The Future of Sex"...and more great tales from Kathleen O'Reilly, Beth Kendrick, Eileen Rendahl, Tracy McArdle and Libby Street.

Nou's reveal:

An Ice Cold Grave by Charlaine Harris

user posted image

Hired to find a boy gene missing in Doraville, North Carolina, Harper
Connelly and her brother Tolliver head there-only to discover that the boy
was only one of several who had disappeared over the previous five years.
All of them teenagers. All unlikely runaways.

All calling for Harper.

Harper soon finds them-eight victims, buried in the half-frozen ground, all
come to an unspeakable end. Afterwards, what she most wants to do is collect
her fee and get out of town ahead of the media storm that's soon to descend.
But when she's attacked and prevented from leaving, she reluctantly becomes
a part of the investigation as she learns more than she cares to about the
dark mysteries and long-hidden secrets of Doraville-knowledge that makes her
the next person likely to rest in an ice-cold grave.

Well, I've read the New Year book, and I think the Harper Connelly series is crap so those books are safe from me! :lol:

nursiegirl42 - December 27, 2007 04:33 PM (GMT)
You really dont like the Harper Connelly series? I think they are really good!

Yeah, pretty much. I read the first one, and decided to try the second one, and pretty much gave up about two pages in. I can't stand the weird relationship between Harper and her brother and the writing is just..off. I don't know, it's hard to explain.

I only read one of the Sookie Stackhouse series too. I liked it, quite a bit, actually, but just didn't feel like reading any more.

Well, I got Ice Cold Grave for Christmas and I'm about a third of the way through. The Harper Connelly series is one of my favorites, lol. Good thing we don't all read the same things, the fighting and stealing would go on forever :rofl:

Isnt that the truth Kathy! LOL

nursiegirl42 - December 27, 2007 05:15 PM (GMT)
I have to agree though Harper and Tolliver do have a WEIRD relationship.. to me more than what a normal brother and sister would have.. but I guess its all part of the story!

They aren't really brother and sister, not really related at all. Not the same parents at all, her mother, his dad married each other.

nursiegirl42 - December 27, 2007 06:43 PM (GMT)
I read that just weird though cuz they tell everyone they are brother and sister.

hmmm wonder if they are going to hook up?

redhot-brat - December 27, 2007 07:08 PM (GMT)
Confirming :) I will get my reveal out a little later today. I currently have received reveals for KathyB.

nursiegirl42 - December 27, 2007 07:12 PM (GMT)
I was just looking at Ri's profile.. it said last activity was on Dec 21st.. she out of town for the holidays or is somthing wrong?

CdnBlueRose - December 27, 2007 08:33 PM (GMT)
I don't remember seeing anything, but I imagine she's away and/or busy for Christmas still. I did PM her when I did the update....

redhot-brat - December 27, 2007 08:40 PM (GMT)
My reveal is out and I'll be around off and on ---- Going to read and relax for a bit. :)

But a lot easier than trying to explain the real relationship?? And yes, they need to hook-up soon - only makes sense, lol.
