DABWAHA (Romance Novel March Madness) has kicked off and my bracket…isn’t doing so hot. I am consoling myself by reading some of the great  contestants, such as Carolyn Jewel’s SCANDAL. Highly recommended. Other additions to the To-Be-Read list:

1. Practice Makes Perfect by Julie James (Contemporary. Her latest book, Something About You, was the subject of the Smart Bitches and Dear Author’s “Save the Contemporary” campaign.)
2. Wicked All Day by Liz Carlyle (Historical. I really enjoy Carlyle’s Regencies.)
3. The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley (Historical. This book was highly hyped when released. Can it live up to the high expectations?)
4. Ecstasy Unveiled by Larissa Ione (Paranormal. Her Demonica series is a favorite of mine, though the last one had too much BDSM IMHO.)
5. Ash by Malinda Lo (Young Adult. Lots of award nominations. Paranormal and LGBT. How could I not be curious?)

I realize the Friday 5 is supposed to be questions, so here you go:

1. Have you read any of the above books?
2. What were your impressions?
3. Which DABWAHA contestants have you added to your TBR pile?
4. How is your bracket holding up?
5. Which books from 2009 do you wish had made the contestant list?
