It’s been so wet and rainy and fiercely windy here…and dark and dreary and warm…it’s been in the 60’s! At 8:30 last night we were whipping flannel sheets off of the bed and zipping on cool cotton ones! I love the Olympics! It’s the perfect background for reading in bed. If you miss something it’s always replayed. Lucy and Roxie watch the ice skaters. Lucy seems to love ice dancing while Roxie prefers men’s figure skating…and she especially loves Nathan Chen. Lively skaters catch their attention!
Just A Few Books From Last Week…
These are all from Edelweiss…I love their newly revised format…it’s so much easier to find books…and their support system is awesome!
Last Seen Alive…“Thrillingly tense and twisty, a great read.” (B. A. Paris, the bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors)
“Just finished Last Seen Alive . . . it’s so twisty, turning and grippy. Highly recommend it! (Gilly Macmillan, the bestselling author of What She Knew)
“Fast-paced and chock-full of twists, Last Seen Alive is both absorbing and gripping. After reading it you’ll never dream of a house swap again.” (Paula Daly, author of The Mistake I Made)
The Story Of Our Lives…“Told year by year for 20 years, Warner’s character-driven novel follows the growth of four women. The characters are realistic and well developed, flawed, and easy to distinguish. The intense portrayal of modern life, women’s friendships and problems may satisfy fans of Debbie Macomber or Alice Adam’s Invincible Summer.”-Library Journal
The Late Bloomers’ Club… “delightful novel about two headstrong sisters, a small town’s efforts to do right by the community, and the power of a lost dog to conjure up true love”
frat girl…“A sweet, subversive deconstruction of frats and feminism, Kiley Roache’s debut will have readers sighing and snorting at Cassie’s adventure into fraternity life and finding her own truth.” –Christa Desir, award-winning author of Bleed Like Me and Other Broken Things
“Refreshingly honest and intelligently written, Frat Girl is filled with relevant topics and written by an author to watch!” -New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller, Julie Cross
So that’s it for my Monday…I just finished working out…after a shower I am going to settle in with my book…and relax!
Do you have a favorite time of day when you really love to just sit down and read?
Have a great day!

Books, Thoughts and Adventures 
My that was a weather warm up, but I guess it may slip back again! You have acquired some interesting sounding books so that means happy reading. I tend to not have a special time of day for reading, I usually sit when I feel drawn to it!!

I guess I sort of read all of the time but especially if I wake up in the middle of the night. Thank God we have a big bed because it has to hold two kitties, my glasses, and my Kindle…I need to be able to grab my Kindle at all times!

I loved The Wife…I also enjoy B. A. Paris, so I’ll read whatever she brings out.
I’m not a fan of watching sports on TV…LOL

I wish I had more or any time to read beside what I’m translating, but sadly my work takes up to 14 hours a day and leaves me too tired for more reading 😦

I can totally understand that!

PS your site uses one of those comment boxes which eats up comments if one puts a www address in it instead of https, which means one’s comments might disappear sometimes 🙂 Mine did this morning.

I’ll have to check out those skaters. When I think of ice skating I think of Kristi Yamaguchi, Midori Ito, and Michelle Kwan. I feel it’s cozier at night to read, especially in bed.

You have to see Nathan Chen!
