TBR Challenge 2009
Senetra and I will rejoin the challenge in August as we both are working on separate projects but meanwhile please make sure to visit the other readers who are participating in the challenge. This month’s theme is a story that features the “wrongly accused/just released from jail” theme, one of my favorite themes, btw. Or if that theme didn’t work out for you, just pick a book out of your TBR pile, read and review it. Of course those who are attending RWA conference are excused. Well, this is an voluntary excercise after all.
About the author
My name is Keishon and I'm an avid reader of romance, crime fiction and graphic novels. I tend to read all over the map and prefer the older romances from the 90's rather than the new romances of today. I enjoy reading and discussing books and I hope you enjoy your visit here. Some of my favorite authors include but are not limited to Laura Kinsale, Penelope Williamson, Kathleen Eagle, Michael Connelly, Julia Spencer-Fleming and my latest crush is on Nordic crime novelist, Jo Nesbø (start with The Redbreast if interested).

I missed the deadline for this month’s challenge and am not going to continue with the pretense of thinking that I can have it done by this evening. I’m not. What am I reading? I’ll tell you: I am reading Dead To The World by Charlaine Harris (Sookie Stackhouse #4) and am only on chapter three *cries*
So.

Keegan’s Lady by Catherine Anderson

I didn’t have a book with this month’s theme, so I reviewed two books instead! LOL Twisted logic, but it works.

Yay! I made it. Couldn’t do the theme this month, but it’s still one less on my tbr shelf, so mission accomplished!

I did mine! Early, after several months of TBR fail.

I’m afraid my TBR review will be late! I’m reading Melissa Marr’s ‘Wicked Lovely’. It’s not quite appropriate for this month’s theme but it has been on my TBR shelf for some time.
