Friday Reads


It’s Friday, friends, and you know what that means… let’s talk books!

I had a bit of a reading slump this week, abandoning two books, one mid-way through, one after the first ten pages. I’ve learned that this is not necessarily a function of the books being bad; on the contrary, I’m sure they’re both excellent. It’s more that at this particular moment, as I’m staring down the barrel of a deadline, I need certain kinds of stories to evoke the proper emotions in me. That way, when I sit down to write, I’m inspired and full of words. I finally hit paydirt yesterday with the audiobook of Jess Lourey’s Unspeakable Things. It captured me from the get-go, and now I’m humming along into the weekend, anxious to finish the story.

How about you? What are you reading this weekend?

Pk Really really enjoying Role Playing by Cathy Yardley. If I could have called in sick to read it, I would have. I'm married to the boss so I can't. :) Thank goodness it's Friday.

Steve I feel you.
I too have recently abandoned a couple of books, one about 10% in and the other about a third of the way in.
Both were by authors I have enjoyed in the past, but just weren't doing anything for me this time around.
Right now I am reading "The Last Oracle" by James Rollins (5th of a series) and enjoying it.
Sometimes that is the way things go.
