Finally tally for 2010

 So I read a 100 books, this is way down from the previous year of 120 but still up from 2008 at 75.  I've decided not to count cookbooks I have read in the total so Goodreads totals and this will never quite match. I also read a few short story collections that I didn't bother to list mostly because I read one or two stories in them and sent them back to the library. This year I did get books sent to me to read from Goodreads with one reviewed in 2010 and one to be posted shortly in 2011.  Next month I will be on vacation so I doubt I will be able to post much for most of Feburary but I am hoping to at least have a few written and ready to go as soon as I get back.  Oh who am I kidding, I don't even think I will be bringing the laptop with me since I really don't want to lug it all around since Thomas will have his laptop and ipad.  I have all ready read 6 books so far for this year and once again I am behind but I will try to at least catch up before I leave on vacation. 

#1 Disappearing Nightly by Laura Resnick

 I got this from the library because  I had picked up the second book in the series and I hate to read the second book without having read the first one even when I'm told they are written as stand alone novels. The first book was put out by Luna but the romance in it is very light.  The series has jumped publishers and now can be found under the DAW line. 

Esther is a chorus girl in an off Broadway magic show and the understudy for the main female lead. When the female lead disappears during the magic box trick of the act Esther is ready to step in the role but is quickly warned off by notes warning her of danger if she does. Turns out that people doing this one trick are disappears but not reappearing. Esther finds out her mystery note writer is a wizard that is trying to to find out what is going on. Esther latches onto him and recruits help from friends of the other disappeared women. It was a nice fluff read but if I didn't all ready have the second book purchased I'm not sure how fast I would have tracked down the next one to read.
