Ok. So I've been out of touch for a while. I work in healthcare... If I hear the words "mandatory overtime" once more, I might yank all my hairs out by their roots. Anyways... lol.. What better time to start my journey back to sanity than January 1? I did finish my first book of the year today. It was Paper and Fire by Rachel Caine
This is book 2 of the Great Library Series. I am behind and this one and actually have a review copy of the last one to review so I'm trying to catch up! It was pretty good. I'm anxious to see where the series goes. I've heard good things.
Good luck to everyone this year!
Just finished a re-read of Year One by Nora Roberts. Someone let me borrow the 3rd and final book of this series and I'm binging it from the beginning to remind me of ALL the details. Nora Roberts is an autobuy for me.
Finished Of Blood and Bone and The Rise of Magicks by Nora Roberts. I seriously don't know how this woman comes up with all of these stories. She's my favorite author by far.
Finished A Mrs. Miracle Christmas by Debbie Macomber. I need Hallmark to make this one into a movie. Of course you know how it's going to end, but I really don't care. I love these sappy things. :)
I read Crown of Feathers by Nicki Pau Preto - first book of the year and I highly recommend if you fancy a high fantasy novel with a decent amount of adventure. I'd also recommend it to people who like Mulan.
Just finished Cilka's Journey by Heather Morris. This was such a heartbreaking but important read. Cilka lived through Auschwitz only to be sentenced to a Siberian prison camp. While the author used some creative license to fill in gaps, the true story of Cilka needs to be known. Who knows how many women had similar stories that were never told from this horrific time during WW2. five stars

and The Flower Girls by Alice Clark-Platts
Sharon wrote: "Morrigan's Cross by Nora Roberts"I loved this series!!! It was like Twilight for adults.... but with time travel :P
Just finished The Russian by Ben Coes. This was like an action/adventure movie in book form. It was a well written story and I sped through that one.
Books I have read so far for January are1. Glass Houses by Louise Penny
2. The Yard by Alex Grecian
3. Essie's Way by Pamela Cook
4. Bound by Truth: An Island Bound novel by Suzanne Cass
5. A Single Thread by Tracy Chevalier
6. A Great Reckoning by Louise Penny
Finished The Last Second by Catherine Coulter. It was pure entertainment. You know how this is going to end, but the journey was lots of fun. This series is great.
I just finish reading City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert and loved it. Definitely a five star read for me.

It's the Magical Stitches Book for January (I'm cutting it close, I know) Very fun read if you have fond memories of Disney World :)

The murders actually took place about an hour and a half from where I live. The murderer(s) have never been caught, and unfortunately, in that area of LA, the law enforcement is extremely corrupt. Always has been. It's interesting to hear the interviews vs. law enforcement statements and the investigation that took place.....
The only thing I didn't like is that it feel like it puts ALL of Southwest LA in a bad light, when really, it's only certain communities.
It's interesting if you like investigative reads and non fiction.
