![]() Might have been the depth of description having read the prior titles in the series, I’m familiar with a lot of what was described. It definitely took me awhile to get into the world of Celta again, and that’s really my only complaint about the book. It’s probably just me, but it seemed like the beginning third of this title moved a little slow. What’s not to like? I also geek out when couples from past books reappear. I also really like the Fams-‘familiars’ that are companions of the humanoids. One of the things I love most about the Celta’s Heartmates series is that the main couple spend the bulk of the book kinda-sorta knowing they should be together, but battling their inner demons and working through stuff so they’re actually ABLE to be together in a stable, healthy, relationship. Because, one does not simply skip a book in a series. Well, before the next title releases, Heart Legacy, on November 3, 2015, I HAD to read Heart Fire. ![]() I missed a Celta’s Heartmates book last year because my reading schedule was full. ![]() ![]() ![]() Martins) Inheritance Cycle Omnibus: Eragon and Eldest by Christopher Paolini (Knopf) You Can Do It! by Tony Dungy, illus.

You could easily put together a new must-read list for 2011 and never move on to 2012. Here are a few of my favorite 2011 book lists thus far: In the U.K., the Guardian compiles a "Books of the Year" feature by asking for recommendations from authors, including Chimamanda Adichie, Tariq Ali, John Banville, Margaret Drabble, Hilary Mantel and Lorrie Moore. We're readers, after all we have a vested interest in all this. These lists are conversation and argument starters. We can jot down titles we may have missed, and map unexplored reading territory. But best-of lists are everywhere, and a biblio-treasure hunt is well worth the time. For readers, list checking has become an annual ceremony, especially when national newspapers like the New York Times ( Top 10 Books as well as 100 Notable Books) or the Washington Post offer their best book picks. ![]() Making a list and checking it twice isn't just a Santa thing. ![]() |
