I'm reading
by Mike Lawson. It's the third in the Joe DeMarco series. Back when I first got my Nook, "The Inside Ring" was one of the first Free Friday books that I downloaded. It was the first in the series, and one of many series that I'd like to catch up on!

I want to read "The Silver Witch" too! I read "The Winter Witch" and really enjoyed it. I think it was because you recommended it back on the old B&N forum.

I think the books are independent of each other, but let Deb confirm that.
Hi all. Yes the witches are all independent of each other. I just interviewed Paula again on the blog and there's a Giveaway, US ONLY sorry Ang, publisher's wishes. Plus Paula has another series staring the grown up Hansel and Gretel solving crimes.

Not reading this weekend. Birthday party for my daughter and then I'm bing-watching "Grey's Anatomy" - I'm four episodes behind and Facebook has been hard to avoid while I try to catch up.
No reading for me either, just finished watching the hobbit movies and now rewatching lord of the rings.
Ok, I caught up with "Grey's" so now I can return to "All the Light We Cannot See." I also finished "Girl on the Train." Fun book!

Sorry for the weekend read delay, been a bit under the weather :(
I just finished the 2nd in Marie Force's new E-rom trilogy Valorous
And am about half way through Paula Brackston's newest witch release, which is fabulous, The Silver Witch.

Finally finished Legions of Space, he collections of Keith Laumer stories. Some quite good, some not really my thing.I've been reading some of the 2015 Hugo nominated short stories, and then I'm thinking I'll probably finish off Bee: The Princess of the Dwarfs since I started reading that to my daughter last night while she was in the tub.
Started reading The Help. I picked it up at our local library's book sale.
Kamas, I loved Bee: The Princess of the Dwarfs!
Deb, glad to hear good things about The Silver Witch. It's on my list!

OH wow it's Friday again and Mother's Day weekend. In between the celebrating and general life chores what will you be reading this weekend.
My in person book club will be discussing The Returned by Jason Mott on Monday so I'll be opening it up tomorrow.

Finished Bee: The Princess of the Dwarfs, I wasn't that impressed with it.I also read the short story It's All About Ethics In Revolution by Kameron Hurley, which is a thinly veiled allegory to this year's Hugo Awards Kerfuffle. I think she missed the whole point of Sad Puppies, because what she wrote works as a hit piece against Social Justice Warriors like the Nielsen Hayden's, K. Tempest Bradford and David Gerrold better than it does against the Sad Puppies.
Now I'm onto Midnight in Death, which isn't starting out too bad. I hope to finish it yet this morning.
Started reading One Lane Bridge by Don Reid. Does anybody remember The Stadler Brothers? After they retired from the music industry, Don Reid started writing books.
Growing up I listened to A LOT of the Statler Brothers along with The Oak Ridge Boys, Kenny Rogers and Anne Murray. Hee Haw and the Dolly Parton show were also staples. Then I grew up, moved out and started listening to my own choices of music instead of my parents/grand parents.
I grew up with the same music. We listened to and watched all those shows, plus Barbara Mandrell and Glen Campbell. I still like the "old" country music a lot better than the "new."
Oh yeah, forgot about the Mandrell Sisters. I actually got to meet Louise Mandrell when she performed at the Norsk Hostfest and one of her body guards ordered a pizza from us. She seemed very nice for the 30 seconds I was in the bus with her.
She also used to have a theatre in Pigeon Forge and I saw her perform there when I went on a bus trip to the Gatlinburg area.

Wow Kamas I love all those performers you mentioned and still watch Hee Haw re-runs on RFD TV

Oh April I LOVE JT Ellison, what a fantastic storyteller she is. I met her once a few years ago. I have her latest on my shelf just waiting for time to read LOL. I know you'll enjoy it!

currently reading The Earth Is All That Lasts on one Nook, it was free through Phoenix Pick awhile back. I was surprised to find out the author was from ND, we usually do a bang up job of promoting in state people since we don't have that many. Currently residing in AZ might have something to do with it.On the other Nook I'm reading The Many Deaths of Joe Buckley. It's a hoot.
