Favorite new novel read in 2009: Jane's Warlord by Angela Knight. It's a paranormal romance novel with AWESOME sex scenes (if you can ignore one repeated word choice that just... didn't work) and some lovely woman power grr!
Most disliked novel read in 2009: Dark Defender by Alexis Morgan. Paranormal romance that had BORING sex scenes, was cheesy as hell, and so sexist that I wanted to fling the book across the room!
Amount of re-read novels in 2009: 9
Author I read the most novels from in 2009: Rachel Caine (5 novels)
