I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

And also downloaded another Anthology called Night Shift, which has a story by a fav of mine Nalini Singh.

It's part of a long time running series called "The Lords of the Underworld" Not as impressed as with others in the series. I think maybe it's been going on for too long. It feels in a way like your reading the same thing re-hashed over and over again.

April, Hi girlfriend. Hope your Thanksgiving was fabulous. And awe thanks so much for loving the interview w/Sal I Loved it too and it's become just tradition to repost it every year. I may have to get an updated look next year with Santa Sal ;)

Going to start Wickedly Wonderful, book 2 in the Baba Yaga Series today. This is from a new author I discovered this year.

Hey everyone I just heard from Michael Siemsen and he wanted to let you all know that the Amazon exclusive for Exigency will be lifted about December 15th and then all you nook owners can get it too!!
Currently reading Face of Betrayal by Lis Wiehl. Three female friends (an FBI agent, a TV reporter, and a prosecutor) use their positions to work together to solve a missing teen case. It's a good read so far.


And I'm going to read over the weekend, the third and final book in Sarah Fine's Guards of the Shadow Lands Series. I've really enjoyed this series, and the second book ended on somewhat of a cliff-hanger!!

TarHeelGirl that sounds great thanks for sharing and putting it on my radar what the heck I guess it's better to have too much to read than no enough right
Have a great Weekend

Glad you got through it without it being a huge disappointment I know it's frustrating when you devote so much time to reading a book that isn't all you hoped it was.

Gonna try and finish up The Horse You Came In On so I can return it to the library. And then I need to finish Tremble the Devil that I had started on my Nook last weekend on the drive down to the Twin Cities for the football game.

April, that title of the first one reminds me of the D-Day vet who took off from the home this spring for the anniversary celebration.

Debbie, it's not my favorite of the Jury novels. I actually found parts of it quite annoying. You can read my review of it to see why. If you've never read her stuff before, I'd pick an earlier novel to get used to the characters.

Soon should be finishing up Paydown by Nick Stephenson. Has anyone read any of his books? There are several in the series and are frequently offered for free. Paydown is the prequel to the series, so I thought I'd read it first.

Just finished The Christmas Candle by Max Lucado. It was B&N's Free Friday book yesterday and it's still free if anyone is interested. It's an enjoyable, quick read for this time of year about a community coming together to experience miracles at Christmastime.

For a fairly short book, it was interesting enough to make me want to read the first in the series, which I downloaded sometime ago for free.

Susan, did you download The Christmas Candle yesterday? It's still free and it's short if you're looking for another quick one.
