Good idea, though since I started only in August, I'm not sure yet if it's a good idea to start the next round in January.

35559 It's time for another update :-)
I finished another three books from my list and updated message 454 => completed: 12/30

The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer 5* - nonfiction - I have to say I was really annoyed I didn't read this book much earlier. Even if it was written more than 50 years ago it's still relevant and the teaching is up to date - I can understand now very well why this books belongs to Christian classics.

The Sea Glass Sisters (Carolina #.5) by Lisa Wingate 4* A nice contemporary short-story and an very interesting beginning of a series. So far I'm sold and plan to continue the series.

Love on the Line by Deeanne Gist 4* The style of the book was a little bit different than what I was used to from the others I read by this author. I needed longer to get into it than expected - but all in all it was fun and the mixture of romance and suspense worked well enough for historical fiction.
35559 Unfortunatelly the form isn't working at my computer. I tried it several times and I cann't enter a thing :-(
I suppose it's another of those things not working for people locateed in Germany. Now I hope for a nice deal @ Amazon.de or iTunes Germany :-)

If you choose Option 2, then so long as "Mystery, Crime, Legal Thriller listed as a Main Page..."


Thanks - Have to check my books first before I can really say how many I'll read.

35559 The Dead of Winter The Dead of Winter by Jennifer Welsh by Jennifer Welsh

Devastated by the news of her sister, Andy's murder, Emma travels to Maryland to settle her sister's affairs. After losing her parents and brother only a year earlier, Emma is barely keeping it together. The past year has been a rough one and her relationship with her brother's best friend, Will, has only complicated matters. She loves Will, and he loves her, but she feels he is too young for her.
Against her better judgement, Emma lets Will move into her home, but only because he has no place else to go. At first things go very well, and they fall into a comfortable routine. One night it all changes when Emma, celebrating her recent divorce, drinks too much and sleeps with Will. She immediately tells Will it was a mistake and can never happen again, but she is afraid she will give in to temptation. Will acts like he has accepted that they will only be friends, but when he looks at her, she can see the desire. The worst part is she feels it too.
While staying with her cousin, Paul, in Maryland, she meets Paul's best friend, Mark. Mark is the handsome detective investigating Andy's murder. Mark seems to be everything Emma wants in a man. He is handsome, smart, and fun to be around. When they get snowbound in Andy's isolated country house, they develop feelings for each other. Emma tries to forget about her feelings for Will.
After discovering Paul was in love with Andy, Emma encourages Paul to tell Mark. Paul listens to Emma and on Christmas informs Mark of his relationship with Andy. A fight between Mark and Paul erupts, and guilt ridden Emma drives back to Indiana. Arriving in Indiana in the middle of the night, Emma has no idea that the killer is waiting for her.
