Why the surprise Mrs. J?

Finished Casino Royale yesterday. It was very good!!

I've been sick for the past week, and just haven't been reading. Its been work, mindless games, and hours of music.

American Gods is interesting, but a bit "heavy" for my low-concentration level, at the moment.

No, no, no... I do not need any new obsessions !! How do I unsee this!

"Sigh". It still sitting on my shelf, as is American Gods; while Sherlock waits impatiently on my Kindle.
I did not have a good reading week at all.

Impressive job, Caleb!

Good luck as you "turn the page".

Aww...Can you renew one and put this in its place?

Up next, my Fantasy Aficionados pick of the month American Gods!

Just finished the latest, book #8 All the Queen's Men.

Amanda is one incredibly lucky girl! I will definitely be on the look out for book #9...

LOL! The Pusher has been pushed! :D

Book #1 is free (on Amazon), books 2 - 7 are .99 each and book #8 is $2.99.

I'm reading book #6 and can't wait to see what happens next.

Help Wanted

Currently enjoying an erotica, short story, series called Fantasy Heights. A little bit of mystery with engaging characters and a lot of sex.

We follow Amanda, who due to sudden life changes, finds herself interviewing for a position at a premiere fantasy fulfillment resort.

What I like most about this series, is the fact that this is not the typical "down on her luck" type deal. Amanda is a normal, successful woman, who decides to take a risk and ends up really liking her job.

I'm currently reading:

Divine Misfortune by A. Lee Martinez. It really should be read at a much quicker pace than I've been going, but its still a fun read... uncomfortably funny. I expect to finish by Friday at the latest.

Hubby just read Anansi Boys, (last week, I believe) and enjoyed it as well.

Congrats on hitting your half-way mark! :)

Currently trying to read The Secret Life of Bees but my heart is not really into it. I feel one of those reading funks coming on. Need to cut it off at the pass... nothing else seems appealing at the moment, though. Maybe I'll dip back into anime. **shrug**

Which book? You can PM the answer, if you like.

Thanks. :)

Yes, its won 3 awards that I know of: The Pulitzer Prize, the Anisfield Wolf Book Award, and the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize

So, because I can never leave well enough alone, I've added a few "personal choice" categories to the "I'll try anything Once" challenge:

Award Winner
Banned or Challenged
Mobile Read Author
Mythology

and I've set up a few "award shelves": nebula, hugo, pulitzer, etc.

I'm trying to decide if I want to set up a "banned or challenged" shelf and/or a MR Author shelf, as well.

Thank you! :) I can't believe how quickly I read that omnibus; Its 737 pages!!

I wasn't trying to be Speedy Gonzalez, I just didn't want to put it down. I think this will eventually be a reread , with the expressed intent of slowing down to enjoy the illustrated art a little more.

My first foray into manga is complete!

Chobits: Omnibus, Vol. 1 was quite enjoyable!
