August Books

I read 9 books in August:

1) Learning by Karen Kingsbury (oversized paperback)
2) Now You See Her by James Patterson (hardback)
3) Special Delivery by Lia Fairchild (Kindle short)
4) Hollywood Scandals by Gemma Halliday (Kindle)
5) Hollywood Secrets by Gemma Halliday (Kindle)
6) Hollywood Confessions by Gemma Halliday (Kindle)
7) The Silent Girls by Tess Gerritsen (hardback)
8) Escape from The World Trade Center by Leslie Haskin (Kindle short)
9) Hurricanes in Paradise by Denise Hildreth Jones (Kindle)

If you keep up with my reading history, you already know that Kingsbury, Patterson and Gerritsen are some of my favorite authors. Their latest books did not disappoint me.


The Halliday books were pretty good too. If I remember right, I got the first one for free on Amazon, and the second two were a couple bucks each. Worth it!

Haskin's book about 9/11 and her escape from the World Trade Center was hard to read. Though I will never forget that day, those that were actually in the building and survived have an amazing story to tell.

Hurricanes in Paradise, while seemingly a nice little "chick lit" book, had four characters going through life crises and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll probably pick up more books by Hildreth Jones.


I love my Kindle and am addicted to downloading free books. I know why Amazon does it though. If you find an author you like, you will buy more of their books! That's okay. I'm always looking for new authors.


My first book of September is Linwood Barclay's THE ACCIDENT! My niece gave me one of his books for Christmas (2009 I think) and since then I've read all of his books. I've been waiting for a new one to come out. I don't think this one will disappoint me. I'm only 76 pages in and I'm finding it hard to put down!


Happy reading everyone!

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore

K-STATE WINS!

K-STATE beat KU! AWESOME! It was a tense game. Corby is a huge KU fan, and even having a son at K-State hasn't changed that. I am happy when any Kansas team does well; but I had to root for K-State tonight. If the Jayhawks had to lose, I'm glad it was to K-State. Michael Beasley is a great player, and my only concern is that he will leave after his freshman year and go pro. WAY TO GO CATS!
