Early to Bed
First day of June, and here in Sacramento we have cool temps, rain, thunder and lightening, and tornado warnings. There's not much on television. It sure seems like an excellent time to go to bed early with a good book.
I am reading Game of Thrones, the books that the HBO series is based on. They are following the book very well, but there isn't nearly the graphic sex in the novel as there is on the series. Thank God for that!
Reading a very light series about weddings - I mean light. Our book group on Friday is discussing Aloha Quilts by Jennifer C. great book! Thanks for the loan of it last year!!! Hope that you got lots of reading time in last night.
well summer has arrived...that means a LOT of days sitting outside under the umbrella while the kids play in the pool!! So I once again pull out 'Primal Fear'!! I love that book and read it every summer! Once it is done I will have to get to my Allison Brennan trilogies!! Last summer was 'The Prey', 'The Hunt', and 'The Kill'! This summer I hope to get through 'See No Evil', Speak No Evil', and'Hear No Evil'!!
I just finished the last of the series by Faye Kellerman...number 17 I think it was. LOVED THEM ALL.. Baptist Detective meets his future second wife in the first book and converts to Judaism... Each book has a couple of murders and stories follow along, but you can read any of them as independent books.. They are the Peter Decker, Rina Lazarus series...very good...
Just getting to start reading "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. I heard from a couple of people that it is excellent! I love my Reader. Dangerous that is what it is. I go to my Reader store and with a few quick clicks, I can buy several books in just a moment! My poor credit card! LOL
Just finished the second in a series about the Ladies of Covington,by Joan Medlicott, and started Soft Apocalypse by Will McIntosh.
ReplyDeleteReading Distant Shores by Kristen Hannah, which I think I have read before, but I can't remember?? LOL
