March Books



I read 14 books in March...I'm well on my way to my 2013 goal of 125 books!

1) To Have & To Kill - Mary Jane Clark (Kindle)
2) Sea Glass Winter - JoAnn Ross (paperback)
3) One for the Money - Janet Evanovich (paperback)
4) Three Sisters - Susan Mallery (Kindle)
5) Two for the Doug - Janet Evanovich (paperback)
6) Three to Get Deadly - Janet Evanovich (paperback)
7) Stolen - Daniel Palmer (paperback-ARC received from Facebook contact with author)
8) Helpless - Daniel Palmer (Kindle)
9) Everything But A Groom - Holly Jacobs (Kindle)
10) Everything But A Bride - Holly Jacobs (Kindle)
11) Everything But A Wedding - Holly Jacobs (Kindle)
12) Everything But Christmas Eve - Holly Jacobs (Kindle)
13) Everything But A Mother - Holly Jacobs (Kindle)
14) Everything But A Dog - Holly Jacobs (Kindle)


I have to say the BEST book I read last month was Stolen by Daniel Palmer. I am a fan of his author father, Michael Palmer, and have been following Daniel on Facebook. I was able to get an ARC of Stolen by posting on his Facebook page why I would like to read it. The books sucked me in, in the FIRST paragraph, and I couldn't put it down. I would recommend it to anyone who likes suspenseful (definitely!) thrillers. TWO THUMBS UP! After finishing Stolen, I bought Helpless on Kindle, and enjoyed it as well (though Stolen was my favorite).

I started reading Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. I thoroughly enjoyed the first three books, and subsequently bought the next six books in the series. I'm sure her writing has improved, as I found some of it a bit stilted, but I really enjoyed the Plum character and plan on reading the rest of the series!

Clark, Ross and Mallery are authors I've read in the past, and I liked their books; but I think Sea Glass Winter was my favorite of the three.

I came across the Holly Jacobs books through an e-mail I get with inexpensive or free books on Kindle. Once I read the first book, I had to read the others in the series - of course!

All in all, a good month for reading!

REVIEW: The Lost Girls by Allison Brennan

THE LOST GIRLS
by ALLISON BRENNAN
St. Martin's Press
November 1, 2016
5 STARS

Love Brennan's Lucy Kincaid series!

Siobhan Walsh has been looking for two sisters who disappeared 2 years ago. She feels responsible, so when she gets a phone call from a Texas priest, who has found an abandoned newborn with a locket nearby that she'd given one of the girls; she goes to Texas in hopes of finding them. She calls in her FBI friends, including Lucy Kincaid, and the search is on. Meanwhile, Lucy's fiance, Sean, has an unexpected visit from a former girlfriend. Her husband, and the 12 year old son he never knew he had, have disappeared in Mexico. So it's time for the Rogan family to find out what's going on.

This is a suspenseful, hard-to-put-down book, so hang on for the ride! Be prepared for a human trafficking story that is hard to stomach, and more than likely, all too true in this day and age. Mexican cartels, murder and mayhem. This book has it all.

Entertainment Weekly "REVISITED"

(thanks for the REVISITED idea, Robyn!)

Okay, I posted last week a blog entry about Entertainment Weekly's Top 100 Movies of the last 25 years. Now I'm going to post their Top 10 TV Shows, and my Top 10 TV Shows...

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S TOP 10:
1. The Simpson's - don't like, never watch
2. The Sopranos - never watched
3. Seinfeld - don't like, not a Seinfeld fan
4. The X-Files - never watched
5. Sex and the City - never watched (do you see a pattern here?)
6. Survivor - UGH - I HATE ALMOST ALL REALITY SHOWS!
7. The Cosby Show - I would put this in my Top 20, but probably not my Top 10
8. Lost - never watched
9. Friends - HATED!
10. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - never watched

Obviously you can see my tastes are definitely not the same as the EW reviewer's.

Here's my Top 10:
1. Miami Vice - I still drool over Don Johnson
2. Golden Girls - consistently funny, and I love Sophia!
3. Scarecrow and Mrs. King - Bruce Boxleitner was one HOT dude!
4. CSI Miami - great cast! great st…

The Nanny Arrangement
by Rachel Harris
May 22, 2017
Entangled Publishing



Hannah has been best friends with Deacon for years, ever since she befriended him and he became her protector. Now she's been asked to be the nanny for Deacon's son, while he's embarking on a tour with a famous country band. Hannah has loved him for years, and she's determined to make him see her as more than a best friend. Do her tactics work? Does Deacon's upbringing (absent dad, alcoholic mother) prevent him from being able to maintain a relationship?

I loved the interaction that Hannah had with Deacon, as well as his band-mates wives and girlfriends. First book I've read by Harris, and I enjoyed it so much that I need to go back and read You're Still The One, the first book in the series.
