What is the last paperback you read? Was it trade or mass market? (A trade paperback is a large-sized paperback book, while a mass market paperback is smaller-sized and less expensive.)

CUT, CROP & DIE by Joanna Campbell Slan
trade PB --- I do my best to avoid mass market PBs, because they're too uncomfortable to hold while reading.

Connie Robinson
CONFRONTATION, A World of Expectations, Book II, by Gayle Lynn Messick. This book is a sequel to PRIDE AND PREJUDICE but very different from others I've read. The author's concentration is on business deals that Darcy and friends make and through these she deals with the class system and the sometimes, ruinous prejudices it evokes. I thought that the first volume, ALLIANCE, would be tedious when I started but the theme was so strongly expressed and the historical understanding of business and custom so well researched, the book was good on many levels.
Wendy Catalano
SKELETONS AT THE FEAST by Chris Bohjalian and it was a trade paperback.

I read Lily Gayle's modern day paranormal romance, OUT OF THE DARKNESS, Vincent Maxwell is a vampire who wants to be human again and discovers that Dr. Megan Harper has discovered a possible cure to vampirism, so he worms his way into her research and into her heart as well. Can a vampire and a mortal find a way to blend their lives and in the process find happiness together?
The plot turns, the familiar settings and the sexual scenes between Megan and Vincent were a fantastic, a can't put down read and the surprising ending was superb with supporting characters such as a compelling vixon (Sonia), and a best friend (Tina). Of course, as an added attraction there were very chilling villains.
OUT OF THE DARKNESS is Lilly Gayle's first trade paperback, but I'm sure there will be many more entertaining novels in the future.

The last paperback I read was SCANDAL IN SPRING by Lisa Kleypas. It was a fun Regency period romance, part of a series, and just right for the purpose of giving myself an emotional lift. Too much news has been dampening my spirits lately, so the laughing touch was perfect. It was mass market paperback.

This was a true paperback and a true waste of my time. I felt this was the weakest Patterson books of all time. While the subjects of Darfur and problems in Africa were pertinent, no one could possibly buy into the supposed complex plot that Alex Cross circumnavigates. Two thumbs down.
