Hi Andreea, I haven't read Jacqueline in ages
let us know how it is!"

This is the 6th book in the Maisie Dobbs series and so far I loved every single one of them. The way it started this one sounds promising as well.

Ang I've heard a lot about that book and that series
enjoy!

[[deleted user]]

Got started on Relic and am really enjoying it! I hope more of you will join us! I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's shaping up to be a good one!

[Ang from OZ]

Really enjoying All I Want by Jill Shalvis, great series and a easy read. And it has animals in it, a bonus for me being a big animal lover!

I've stalled with Lori Handeland's 3rd book in her Sister's of the Craft series. Started off okay, but I'm at about 75% and I find myself bored.

[Kamas]

I'm about 3/4 through Relic and enjoying it as much this time around as prior readings. Things just keep speeding along.

[Debbie]

Ok expats, lots of things going on in my life right now, whew!
Its official I will be retiring in May, a bittersweet thing because its because of my hubbys health issues but I also am really looking forward to it.

So it's Friday what's new in the reading lives of all my Goodread friends?

Just started reading The Girl on the Train. Not very far into it yet, but hope to get some reading done this weekend.

Deb, hope things soon settle down for you. Sorry to hear about your husband, but hopefully your upcoming retirement will be a blessing for you both!

[Ang from OZ]

I am currently reading fractured by Sarah Fine, 3rd book in the series. And also trying new author and book, Black Cat Crossing, not sure about it yet, but haven't got far yet to completely form an opinion. And I hope you enjoy your retirement Deb, abd thst your hubby's health improves. What will your plans be? Travel?

Thanks Ang!
For awhile just let things settle down, sell the house find a condo and cart the big guy to all his dr appts.

[Kamas]

I'm about a third of the way through Chicks in Chainmail and loving it so far.

Hope you have fun with your retirement. I have only another week and 12 years to qualify, probably closer to 23 years to actuality.

[April]

Finished reading The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B by Teresa Toten. Currently reading Carry On by Rainbow Rowell.

Deb, sorry to hear about your husband's health. Hope you enjoy your retirement.

[Debbie]

Its Friday, what are you reading?
Has the weather turned cooler yet where you are?

I've just finished my read for fun week
I read The Witch's Market by Mingmei Yip-The Witch's Market
Then The Edge of Lost by Kristina McMorris-The Edge of Lost
Then Heartsong Cottage by Emily March-Heartsong Cottage

Now I'm starting my February reviews

Enjoy the weekend!

[[deleted user]]

I'm three-quarters into Reliquary and I hope I have time to finish it this weekend. It's a really good book. Thanks to Kamas for suggesting Relic, because that's what got me started with this series.

The weather here is actually warmer today. It is supposed to hit the mid-70s. Tomorrow we could have rain with temps in the 60s.

[Kamas]

Rainy and cool the last couple of days. Little Britches and I are watching Stars since she's off today (don't know where she got so interested in SW since we don't do much with it around the house). Otherwise, I haven't even cracked my book in the last week.

[Debbie]

the cool front finally came through today and you can feel the crispness in the air, finally :)

[Ang from OZ]

Bit like living in the eye of hell where i am, hot hot and some more hot!!!!! Currently reading Menagerie by Rachel Vincent. It's one of those books you just want to read till finished but I'm trying not to so i can savour the great read.

It was WONDERFUL Ang I can't wait until book two! ;)

[Ang from OZ]

Yes I agree Deb, it was wonderful. I did pretty much nothing yesterday except read. I kept telling myself, it's too hot to do housework keep reading. Finished the whole book and have now started Spiders Bite by Jennifer Estep.

[Ruth]

I binged on "Fangirl" by Rainbow Rowell the end of this week. I loved it. I liked it even more than "Eleanor and Park." I hope to read "Carry On," which is a sequel to "Fangirl."

Now I'm reading "Career of Evil," the latest from Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling). The characters in this series are wonderfully full and engaging, I can't wait to read what happens next.

Also, reading "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" by George R. R. Martin. If you are a fan of the Game of Thrones world, this collection of tales is for you.

[Debbie]

Great reading choices ladies.
I'm just finishing up Cold Mountain for my book club tonight
Enjoy your Monday!

[Debbie]

Well its Saturday and who can believe two weeks from today we'll all be recovering from Black Friday, where has the year gone?

What are you all reading this weekend?
I'm working on my reviews but I don't understand how I don't work anymore but I still can't get everything done ;)
Have a Great weekend all!

[Ruth]

I'm reading "The Brutal Telling" (Armand Gamache #5) by Louise Penny. Wonderful so far. I love her writing and the characters of Three Pines. C'est magnifique!

[[deleted user]]

About half-way through the latest Michael Connelly book, "The Crossing." It's great so far.

[Debbie]

All sounds wonderful but I'm really interested in what Mickey and Harry are up to. Its been a while since I've read one. Time to get to the Library.

I think you'll like this one, since it's got them both in it! It's really a Bosch book, but there's enough Mickey to keep the interaction between the characters extremely interesting!

Cool Thanks!

[Ang from OZ]

I'm making my way through Jennifer Estep's Elemental Assassin's series. They are good but the author rehashes information alot! Gets really annoying.

[Kamas]

I'm sort of skimming through The Evolution of Civilizations as I clean up the epub after converting from the pdf. It looks quite interesting, especially in these interesting times. Alas, I forgot my laptop at home tonight, so I guess I'll have to watch football.

Yeah Ang I find that happens in a lot of series. What seems to happen is their publisher for what ever reason wants it to stand alone therefore theres a lot of stuff fans will have to read over and over. Otherwise I love Jen's books and the spider series is my favorite.
I hope you're having a good week.
You know Thanksgiving in the US is next week. Does OZ have a Thanksgiving celebration?

Ah but Kamas sometimes seeing men bash their heads together and wiggle their behinds counts as entertainment ;)

You forgot the hugs, high fives and slapping each other's asses! For shame!

[Kamas]

Well, I brought my laptop tonight, so I might get some more done on The Evolution of Civilizations as long as no more bomb threats come in tonight. There were apparently two earlier today in the city (not on campus, thankfully). People need to grow up.

[Ang from OZ]

No, we don't have thanksgiving in OZ. So I will have to live it through you guys!!
I'm enjoying the spider series a lot.
Someone recommended Jennifer Estep to me because I liked Ilona Andrew's.

[Ang from OZ]

Hmm, don't think we have Black Friday either. Maybe in the "Big Smoke" (like Sydney or Melbourne) they might do it. But I'm in what's called a Regional Area. Like I said I'll have to live Thanksgiving through you guys. I've never had pumpkin pie.... :)

[Debbie]

Not to worry Ang w'ell walk you through Thanksgiving and hey maybe next year you could celebrate it with us. Bake a turkey and all the trimmings :)

[[deleted user]]

Ang, I think pumpkin pie is one of those things that you either like or hate. I made one last week with canned pumpkin that was easy and good. It had a can of sweetened condensed milk in it and I think that it what made it good. I'll probably make another one next week, though I'm not sure whether we're doing the meal at home with my dad and brothers or all going out.

[[deleted user]]

Kamas, hope you made it through your shift without any bomb threats!

Wonder if the same recipe would work using sweet potato instead of pumpkin?

[Ang from OZ]

The thought of having pumpkin and cream is a strange idea to me. Pumpkin is a vegetable and is only good with a Sunday Roast in my book!! :)

[Ruth]

We had a rash of bomb threats - 2-3 a week for several weeks at a time - in one of the districts I taught in last year. It became so disruptive, the district stopped notifying the public. They finally caught one of the little b*st*rds near the end of the year. He was in BIG trouble.

[Debbie]

Oh wow I didn't know how lucky I was working in the private sector. Gosh so many crazies on school campuses now.
Well here's to quite school days

Everyone take care

Still knee deep in my reviews. Hoping next week to start my "for me" reads :)

[Kamas]

Fargo had a couple more threats called in, nothing for me though. A few years ago we had someone calling in using a fake phone number to hide where he was calling from. After the first one we didn't take it too seriously as it was obvious he wasn't in the area. He would use sound affects such as sirens in the background and then get all indignant that we called the police on him, but he didn't know any of the landmarks. He'd say things like he left it in the 'main building on campus'. Or that he was calling from a pay phone from 'Walmart', but when asked which one he gave the actual street address rather than how everyone describes it. After about two weeks we were finally given the OK to hang up on him if he called in. I got to take the call, the conversation lasted about 15 seconds before I hung up on him. He hasn't called back. He was just looking for attention and moved on to somebody else when we quit giving it to him.

[Kamas]

I like pumpkin pie. When I was a kid I LOVED it, maybe because of all the whipped cream on top. I've only had sweet potato pie once, when I was a kid, and it tasted quite like pumpkin to me.

I've never had pumpkin outside of a pie (other than pumpkin seeds, yum). I don't care for squash either, but my wife eats a lot of it.

Vegemite seems like a really odd food to me, though.

[Ang from OZ]

Yes Vegemite is strange, and i haven't found a non Australian who likes it yet. Nothing better than vegemite on toast though lol!

[Debbie]

Ok peeps it's Friday what are you reading?
Me its still reviews, gah I hate deadlines :)

Ang when I hear Vegemite I think of the video I just posted titled Lucy :)

[Ang from OZ]

Reading Veiled Magic by Deborah Blake, really enjoy her books. Also cleaned the house from top to bottom, not very fun in 35 degree heat (95 in Fahrenheit) you could have rung out my clothes with how much sweat there was. Handsome Prince and Furry Cat helped, well cat just managed to put cat hair on everything i had already cleaned :) Off to the movies to see the next hunger games movie in 3D this afternoon. Least it will be cool in the cinemas!! Have a good weekend everyone!
