jmc_bksYesterday was Keishon's TBR Day, but I forgot to post.
Let's see, the books I pulled from the TBR pile:
Samurai Girl: Book of the Flame by Carrie Asai. DNF. I didn't realize that this was a mid-series book when I picked it up. It did NOT stand alone. I had no idea what was going on -- the plot picked up right in the middle; that kind of narration works on TV, especially for shows like Alias but didn't work well here, because there was no recap to catch me up.
Beyond Daring by Kathleen O'Reilly. The Paris Hilton clone as a heroine did not work for me. DNF.
Forbidden Shores by Jane Lockwood. Another DNF. Caribbean-set historical wasted on a dishwater heroine, lackluster hero and Too Evil bad guy.
It is becoming clear to me that there was probably a reason all of these books were in the TBR pile.
