August Books

I read 11 books  in August - 10 by female authors, 1 by a male author.

1) Judgment Call by J.A. Jance (hardback) - another great book by Jance!
2) Forever After by Karen Rose Smith (Kindle) - enjoyed this one.
3) Catching Fireflies by Sherryl Woods (Kindle) - LOVE Woods books!
4) Moonshell Beach by JoAnn Ross (Kindle) - I'm a Ross fan!
5) I, Michael Bennett by James Patterson (hardback) - enjoyed it but had a frustrating ending
6) The Inn at Rose Harbor by Debbie Macomber (Kindle) A bit of a miss from Macomber, but still enjoyable
7) The Wedding Gift by Lucy Kevin (Kindle) - okay
8) A Baby of Her Own by Brenda Novak (Kindle) - enjoyed it and plan to read more of her books

9) Friends Forever by Danielle Steel (hardback) - extremely frustrating & sad. You can expect sadness and then ultimately happiness in most of her books, but this was too much
10) Hooked by Polly Iver (Kindle) - hated it, couldn't even finish so I guess this counts as 1/3 read

11) Chasing Perfect by Susan Mallery (Kindle) - found a new author and series based on a town named Fool's Gold. You'll understand my fascination in the series when you see my September books read. (I'm now on the 3rd book of the series and it's only Sept. 3)...

All in all, it was a good month for reading. As you can see, I read more "fluff" than anything else last month. I have the new Tess Gerritsen book "Last To Die" on the way, and the new Linwood Barclay book comes out on Tuesday. Really excited about reading both of them!

I read your blog, however, some of them are really hard to read when you used different colors, hard to read the one about Brandon's new apartment, it is just too dark.

you must have been looking at my blog as I was playing with the look of it. I changed it again, so you'll be able to read that post.

VACATION

On vacation for a few days (return to work on Thursday)...here's where I wish I was... I plan on enjoying some peace and quiet...and possibly, if I get motivated, getting some cleaning and organizing done in the office area of the basement. We'll see if that motivation arrives (it's not here yet)... Good news for Park City residents...recycling came to town the first of January. We are charged $4.00 month (added onto our already high water bill); but it has lowered the price of our trash pickup. The company P.C. contracted with has a much lower price than the company we use. Our company matched the price, so our trash bills went down (considerably) AND we get to recycle. We can recycle almost all our plastics, newspapers, cardboard, aluminum cans, cereal boxes, glass, motor oil, etc. We've got two big bags to set out tomorrow. Just doin' our part for the environment. We are without hot water right now...our hot water heater needs a new thermo-couple? It's a fair

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
