I just love his books. They are amazing"

James Rollins is one of my favorites also. I think I will dig out some of his books from my reading room.

Hello everyone. I hope you are having as lovely weather as Vancouver currently. Sat outside reading most of the day (and got a killer sunburn) It was worth it. This series is really good, I might be running on very little sleep due to an all night reading binge. I hope to have the third book done by Saturday.

I am spending the long weekend at home with the family. My in-laws are arriving shortly and we are going to have a BBQ. The sun has peeked it's head out so I am ready to go outside.

It has taken me a while to find a quote I really liked. I decided on this one from Shogun by James Calavell

If you leave your mind to itself it will spiral you down into ever-increasing unhappiness. To think good thoughts, however, requires effort. This is one of the things that need disipline –training- is about. So train your mind to dwell on sweet perfumes, the touch of this silk, tender raindrops against the shoji, the curve of the flower arrangement, the tranquillity of dawn. Then, at length, you won't have to make such a great effort and you will be of value to yourself,…”

I did it! I finished this book. I love historical fiction and this is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I have lost sleep just so I could read it.
