I read mostly historical romance, but can often be found reviewing paranormal romance, young adult books (mostly distopian/fantasy), fantasy/sci-fi, classics,
and the occasional non-fiction book about languages.

Day Three: Your Favorite Series
Oh, dear. I feel like all I read now are series books, so there are going to be quite a few to choose from. But the one I instantly thought of yesterday when perusing the full 30 days, was Kristen Callihan's The Darkest London series.
The first book, Firelight, starts off Steampunk meets historical romance with a dash of paranormal. The plot is intriguing and the characters quite memorable. There are some flaws, but nothing that made me enjoy it less.
Moonglow starts balancing the genres more, ramping up the paranormal aspect.a but. Steampunk gets turned up a bit as well and I loved every second of it. This one I think is my favorite of the three. The hero and heroine are wonderful.
The last book (so far) would be Winterblaze, which takes a couple we have known tangentially through the other two books and make them the stars. Based on reasons, some people didn't like what happened to the characters, but I didn't mind at all. They were interesting still and the plot again clipped along. And even more strange shenanigans ensued.
I can't wait where the next book takes us. And I am sure whatever it should be about (since we ran out of sisters), it will surely take it to eleven.
PS. The covers on these books are so freaking gorgeous!
