I loved this book. It's been awhile since I've gotten into a thriller and this one sucked me in. I read it in three days! That is fast for me!</div>

That's 2 already! It's very unheard of for my school district.<br />
<br />
I actually get a moment to look at my blog which has been neglected for far too long. I'm not reading as much but I am still very involved in my literary world.<br />
<br />
I still work at my local library.<br />
I continue to do Book Fairy drops in my community.<br />
I desperately try to get to my two book clubs.<br />
I read with my son every night.<br />
I try to keep up with my Red Headed Book Child Facebook page.<br />
I work for the Midwest Booksellers Association fall trade show every year.<br />
And I still read my favorite blogs out there.<br />
<br />
I hope to get back into the swing of some things but honestly reviewing as changed over the years. I like to have the space that I call mine here at Red Headed Book Child but it doesn't have to be the go to spot for all your reading needs. I just like to have it for a piece of my world and a piece of my history.<br />
<br />
Cheers to you all for reading and blogging and doing all you do!<br />
<br />

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted. Still reading, still living, not reviewing so much. Writing, journaling, being a mom. Considering just writing about life vs. books.<br />
<br />
Keep you all posted.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

This time it was of The Shining. Yes, you are right, based off of the book by Stephen King and the movie. This followed more of the book rather than the movie.</span></span></span></span><br />

He was very interested in seeing how this would translate on stage as an opera as The Shining was one of his favorite books as a young adult.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Opera is not for everyone and when you see one it's easier almost to take when it's in another language and a story that you are not as familiar with. It took a bit for me to get used to them singing the words to a story I know really well. But after a bit, I got into it and really enjoyed the way the expressed the emotion of the story. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Some years ago I was a part of Blogger Preview Nights at the Ordway Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota. I had the opportunity to see many fantastic productions; from The Wizard of Oz to Anything Goes. That program ended and I discovered shortly thereafter, the Social Media Preview Nights at the Minnesota Opera, also at the Ordway Theater.</span><br />

/></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well, I was given the opportunity to see a working dress rehearsal of the opera Tosca last Thursday evening and I will tell you, I was floored. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First, I must mention that the Ordway is a beautiful theater and the sets of this production made it even more so. Rich, dark browns and magnificent reds and golds enhanced the turmoil and drama of the story.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For those who are not familiar, here is a quick synopsis of the story, taken from the* Ordway's website:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>"A fiery prima donna, an idealistic artist and a manipulative chief of
police find themselves entangled in a web of drama in this spellbinding
classic. Tosca’s allegiance to her lover, Cavaradossi, is put to the
ultimate test by the obsessive Scarpia who will stop at nothing to
possess her. This magnificent tale of deceit, love and honor brims with
sumptuous music and unforgettable arias."</i></span><br />

/></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Fiery, indeed<i>. </i>The voice of Kelly Kaduce who plays Tosca is powerful, passionate, and red hot. Watching her, especially in the informal moments of practice, was amazing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Some might be a bit discouraged because Operas are traditionally sung in other languages; Tosca was sung in Italian, however, there are English subtitles played above the stage and following along is really quite easy once you get going.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am not a formal reviewer of theater. Books are my specialty on this blog but my passion for theater is easy to express. So, I must say, with enthusiasm, if you have not seen on Opera, please do so. Tosca would be a wonderful start.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am still a mystery lover and I know I have several devoted challenge participants, so I will continue with this challenge in 2016.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

A Book Blogger?<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's funny. I was at one of my book club get togethers for the holidays. It was a book and cookie swap. I brought books, not cookies. It's how I roll. I met a new woman there and after being introduced as the "friend who has a book blog and gets lots of books", I thought, "Well, shoot! I should probably blog then!" I hopped on my blog later that night and realized my last post was from July and it wasn't even written by me! I felt immediately silly for handing out my blog business card to someone new and for her to google search my rather stale site!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Did this motivate me to want to write a million reviews? No, not really. I don't think the art of book blogging is dead by any means. It just hasn't been my platform to recommend and talk books for quite some time. I created a Facebook page for my blog and I link books I liked and am reading on there. I donate, give away, swap and talk books with family and friends. I recommend to every one I can during my job at the library. And I read a lot of kids books with my son<span style="color: red;"><b> </b><span style="color: black;">and then donate them to his school.</span><b><br /></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My blog has brought me a ton of opportunities and connections in the world of books and I'm forever grateful. Last year, I posted that I may include some more personal posts instead of all books. In all reality, I like the short and sweet aspect of Facebook rather than a meandering post here on my blog. For now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I will probably continue my A-Z Mystery Challenge because I have some faithful followers and it really requires very little time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And I will pop over occasionally with a review or two. I like to see some old faces out there but I am truthfully pretty behind on any new book blogs. I still don't do Netgalley or ebooks of any kind so that does limit my opportunities to review some of the newer titles. I'm okay with that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The pace of the library has changed my reading. I don't need the newest and the best right away. I placed a request and I wait in line. I've turned 40, so I'm over the fan fare of "Gimme Gimme!".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I guess my purpose of this post was my introduction and definition as a Book Blogger. And though I do identify in some ways to that, I really truly am just a Book Lover. I will get the word out for what I love in any way I can.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For now, it's just not here so much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hope you all are well in the book blog-o-sphere!</span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Constant Fear</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> by Daniel Palmer<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">From
the website: </span><a href="http://www.danielpalmerbooks.com/"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">http://www.danielpalmerbooks.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">When
Jake Dent’s dreams of baseball glory fell apart in a drunk-driving incident,
his marriage did too. In those dark days, a popular survivalist blog helped to
restore Jake’s sense of control. He’s become an avid Doomsday Prepper, raising
his diabetic son, Andy, to be ready for any sudden catastrophe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Andy,
now a student at the prestigious Pepperell Academy where Jake works as a
custodian, has a secret—he’s part of a computer club that redistributes money
from the obscenely wealthy to the needy. Usually, their targets don’t even
realize they’ve been hacked. But this time, they’ve stolen from the wrong
people: a vicious drug cartel that is coming to get its money back…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Staging
a chemical truck spill as a distraction, the cartel infiltrates the Academy,
taking Andy and his friends hostage one by one. Jake, hidden inside the
school’s abandoned tunnels, knows that soon the killing will start. With his
training, and a stockpile of weapons and supplies, he’s the last, best hope
these students—including his son—have of getting out alive. But survival is no
longer an abstract concept. It’s a violent, brutal struggle that will test Jake
to the limit, where there are no rules and no second chances…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Cheryl’s
review<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As
you know, I’ve been reviewing Daniel Palmer’s books since the beginning. I was
lucky to win a review copy from him by posting to Facebook (become a fan: </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/danielpalmerbooks"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">https://www.facebook.com/danielpalmerbooks</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">). I’ve enjoyed
all his books and the more he writes, the better he gets. I found myself <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px;">on the edge of my seat and tense while reading, signs of a great suspense novel.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Technology
is the underlying center of all his books. In <i>Constant Fear</i>, it’s the fragile world of earning money online. He
explains how it works, benefits, faults, and in this case it made me glad I
have not entered that world. There is a mix of characters immersed in the world
and those who avoid it, creating a conflict where both have to learn important
lessons. Jake is a survivalist while his son has the technology talent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">One
of Palmer’s talents is building the story. He starts with character development
and backstory, so that you feel immersed in the people’s lives. Then you get
sucked in and don’t want to stop until you know what happens. Many times as I
read, I found myself tense and had to remind myself to relax. As the cartel
took over the Academy and the computer club they suspected of stealing their
money, it was nonstop action. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">What
Palmer also does very well is mixing the action with physical and psychological
- it’s not just kidnapping and survival, but the reasons why they took action. This
book was more violent than his others, but he painted a realistic portrait of
why the characters acted the way they did. Often I wonder, what would I do if I
were in their situation? (which I hope I never am) And, as always, there was an
unexpected twist at the end. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Palmer
truly is a great suspense novelist and I am a dedicated fan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Who else is excited that these books exist? I love books like this; the gothic, the romance, the mystery, the paranormal. It's completely up my alley. I was so thrilled to be a part of this promotion for the paperback release of the Book of Life, the third and final book in this series. I was even more thrilled when I received all three books. </div>

<b>A CONVERSATION WITH DEBORAH HARKNESS</b></div>
<div style="color: red; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: In your day job, you are a professor of history and science at the University of Southern California and </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>have focused on alchemy in your research. What aspects of this intersection between science and magic </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>do you hope readers will pick up on while reading THE BOOK OF LIFE? There’s quite a bit more lab </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>work in this book!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A. There is. Welcome back to the present! What I hope readers come to appreciate is that science—past or </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>present—is nothing more than a method for asking and answering questions about the world and our place in it. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Once, some of those questions were answered alchemically. Today, they might be answered biochemically and </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>genetically. In the future? Who knows. But Matthew is right in suggesting that there are really remarkably few </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>scientific questions and we have been posing them for a very long time. Two of them are: who am I? why am I here? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: Much of the conflict in the book seems to mirror issues of race and sexuality in our society, and there </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>seems to be a definite moral conclusion to THE BOOK OF LIFE. Could you discuss this? Do you find </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>that a strength of fantasy novels is their ability to not only to allow readers to escape, but to also challenge </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>them to fact important moral issues?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A. Human beings like to sort and categorize. We have done this since the beginnings of recorded history, and </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>probably well back beyond that point. One of the most common ways to do that is to group things that are “alike” </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>and things that are “different.” Often, we fear what is not like us. Many of the world’s ills have stemmed from </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>someone (or a group of someones) deciding what is different is also dangerous. Witches, women, people of color, </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>people of different faiths, people of different sexual orientations—all have been targets of this process of singling </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>others out and labeling them different and therefore undesirable. Like my interest in exploring what a family is, the </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>issue of difference and respect for difference (rather than fear) informed every page of the All Souls Trilogy. And </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>yes, I do think that dealing with fantastic creatures like daemons, vampires, and witches rather than confronting </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>issues of race or sexuality directly can enable readers to think through these issues in a useful way and perhaps come </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>to different conclusions about members of their own families and communities. As I often say when people ask me </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>why supernatural creatures are so popular these days: witches and vampires are monsters to think with.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: From the moment Matthew and a pregnant Diana arrive back at Sept-Tours and reinstate themselves </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>back into a sprawling family of witches and vampires, it becomes clear that the meaning of family will be </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>an important idea for THE BOOK OF LIFE. How does this unify the whole series? Did you draw on your </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>own life?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A. Since time immemorial the family has been an important way for people to organize themselves in the world. In </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>the past, the “traditional” family was a sprawling and blended unit that embraced immediate relatives, in-laws and </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>their immediate families, servants, orphaned children, the children your partner might bring into a family from a </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>previous relationship, and other dependents. Marriage was an equally flexible and elastic concept in many places and </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>times. Given how old my vampires are, and the fact that witches are the keepers of tradition, I wanted to explore </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>from the very first page of the series the truly traditional basis of family: unqualified love and mutual responsibility. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>That is certainly the meaning of family that my parents taught me.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: While there are entire genres devoted to stories of witches, vampires, and ghosts, the idea of a weaver – </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>a witch who weaves original spells – feels very unique to THE BOOK OF LIFE. What resources helped </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>you gain inspiration for Diana’s uniqueness?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A. Believe it or not, my inspiration for weaving came from a branch of mathematics called topology. I became </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>intrigued by mathematical theories of mutability to go along with my alchemical theories of mutability and change. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Topology is a mathematical study of shapes and spaces that theorizes how far something can be stretched or twisted </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>without breaking. You could say it’s a mathematical theory of connectivity and continuity (two familiar themes to </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>any reader of the All Souls Trilogy). I wondered if I could come up with a theory of magic that could be comfortably </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>contained within mathematics, one in which magic could be seen to shape and twist reality without breaking it. I </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>used fabric as a metaphor for this worldview with threads and colors shaping human perceptions. Weavers became </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>the witches who were talented at seeing and manipulating the underlying fabric. In topology, mathematicians study </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>knots—unbreakable knots with their ends fused together that can be twisted and shaped. Soon the mathematics and </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>mechanics of Diana’s magic came into focus. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: A Discovery of Witches debuted at # 2 on the New York Times bestseller list and Shadow of Night debuted </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>at #1. What has been your reaction to the outpouring of love for the All Souls Trilogy? Was it surprising </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>how taken fans were with Diana and Matthew’s story?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A. It has been amazing—and a bit overwhelming. I was surprised by how quickly readers embraced two central </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>characters who have a considerable number of quirks and challenge our typical notion of what a heroine or hero </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>should be. And I continue to be amazed whenever a new reader pops up, whether one in the US or somewhere like </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Finland or Japan—to tell me how much they enjoyed being caught up in the world of the Bishops and de Clemonts. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sometimes when I meet readers they ask me how their friends are doing—meaning Diana, or Matthew, or Miriam. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>That’s an extraordinary experience for a writer.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: Diana and Matthew, once again, move around to quite a number of locations in THE BOOK OF LIFE, </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>including New Haven, New Orleans, and a few of our favorite old haunts like Oxford, Madison, and Sept-</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Tours. What inspired you to place your characters in these locations? Have you visited them yourself? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A. As a writer, I really need to experience the places I write about in my books. I want to know what it smells like, </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>how the air feels when it changes direction, the way the sunlight strikes the windowsill in the morning, the sound of </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>birds and insects. Not every writer may require this, but I do. So I spent time not only in New Haven but </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>undertaking research at the Beinecke Library so that I could understand the rhythms of Diana’s day there. I visited </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>New Orleans several times to imagine my vampires into them. All of the locations I pick are steeped in history and </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>stories about past inhabitants—perfect fuel for any writer’s creative fire.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: Did you know back when you wrote A Discovery of Witches how the story would conclude in THE </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>BOOK OF LIFE? Did the direction change once you began the writing process?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A. I knew how the trilogy would end, but I didn’t know exactly how we would get there. The story was well thought </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>out through the beginning of what became The Book of Life, but the chunk between that beginning and the ending </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>(which is as I envisioned it) did change. In part that was because what I had sketched out was too ambitious and </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>complicated—the perils of being not only a first-time trilogy writer but also a first time author. It was very important </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>to me that I resolve and tie up all the threads already in the story so readers had a satisfying conclusion. Early in the </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Queen Elizabeth’s astrologer, the mathematician and alchemist John Dee. In the 1570s and 1580s he became </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>interested in using a crystal ball to talk to angels. The angels gave him all kinds of instructions on how to manage his </b></div>

<b><br /></b></div>

<b>life at home, his work—they even told him to pack up his family and belongings and go to far-away Poland and </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Prague. In the conversations, Dee asked the angels about a mysterious book in his library called “the Book of </b></div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Soyga” or “Aldaraia.” No one had ever been able to find it, even though many of Dee’s other books survive in </b></div>

<b><br /></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

After all, she is twelve years old, barely five feet tall, and quite polite. (The minions are used to tall, demanding evil sorceresses with razor-sharp cheekbones.) But the castle desperately needs a master or else the Board of Magic will decommission it, leaving all the minions without the home they love. So when Molly assures them she is quite wicked indeed (So wicked! REALLY wicked!) and begins completing the tasks required by the Board of Magic for approval, everyone feels hopeful. Unfortunately, it turns out that Molly has quite a few secrets, including the biggest one of all: that she isn't who she says she is." (Goodreads)</i></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Last year I reviewed <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The

was happy to have the opportunity to review Steve Berry’s latest, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Patriot Threat</i>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Cotton Malone is one of my favorite recurring characters in
a book and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Patriot Threat</i> doesn’t
disappoint. Berry writes with a mix of a history lesson and fast-paced action.
As his third Malone book with the United States as the starting point, he
creates a realistic conspiracy incorporating historical figures and politics.
Reading this in April during tax season made it especially speculative: “What
if the Federal income tax is illegal?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Although I enjoy all Berry’s books, this one was particularly
fun. I couldn’t help but imagine what the country would be like if the Federal
income tax was illegal. I’m familiar with Andrew Mellon’s financial legacy, but
I didn’t know when or how it came about. Secret conversations, blackmail, and
deception related to a President’s decisions also make you wonder what may have
happened in past administrations.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I always appreciate the depth of historical research Berry
does. Starting with the facts, he creates a realistic and though far-fetched, a
believable conspiracy. As an archivist and historian, I also enjoy when his
characters do archival research or visit archives. His explanations at the end
of the book are worth reading to sort through the fiction from fact. While
reading the story it can be hard to tell the difference, which is what makes
the book good. I look forward to seeing what he comes up with next!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There are so many mysteries out there that it is hard to keep up! The Aunt Dimity series has been around for many years and I sort of overlooked them until now .I was given the opportunity to feature the newest title, book 20! I couldn't pass it up. I didn't realize they had a paranormal twist. That is certainly right up my alley.</span></div>

<i><b>Cozy mystery lovers’ favorite paranormal sleuth is back with her twentieth otherworldly adventure</b><br /><br />There’s
trouble in Finch. Four recently sold cottages are standing empty, and
the locals fear that a developer plans to turn their cozy village into
an enclave of overpriced weekend homes. But for once Lori Shepherd can’t
help.<br /><br />Her infant daughter, her father-in-law’s upcoming wedding,
and the crushing prospect of her fortieth birthday have left her feeling
inadequate and overwhelmed. Until, that is, she has a chance encounter
with an eccentric inventor named Arthur Hargreaves. Dubbed the Summer
King by his equally eccentric family, Arthur is as warmhearted as the
summer sun. In his presence, Lori forgets her troubles—and Finch’s.<br /><br />But
Lori snaps out of her happy trance when she discovers detailed maps of
Finch in the Summer King’s library. Next, a real estate agent comes
knocking. Is Arthur secretly plotting Finch’s demise?<br /><br />With Aunt
Dimity’s otherworldlym help—and her new daughter in her arms—Lori mounts
a crusade to save her beloved village from the Summer King’s scorching
greed.</i></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" id="yui_3_5_1_1_1428509665928_719" src="https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=HN.608021319277808386&pid=15.1&P=0" style="height: 356px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 235px;" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This book has been on my list for a few years now and I finally got around to it. I checked it out on audio and it is amazing. I have taken a break from dystopian/paranormal/teen fiction for awhile now and it was nice to get back into it with this one. Also, I really like books that take on well known fairy tales and twist them around. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Cinder is a take on Cinderella, obviously. Cinder is a cyborg who falls for the Prince and battles the evil Queen Levana. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">"It is read by Rebecca Stolar who has narrated other Young Adult books before. She is magnificent!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> "<span id="freeText2363184945469148652">Humans and androids
crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the
population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make
their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. <br /><br />Cinder,
a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a
mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her
stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the
handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an
intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty
and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her
past in order to protect her world’s future."</span></i></div>

MY reading has fallen by the wayside over the past year, as HIS reading and listening as flourished! And....I'm okay with that. But I had to get it all out in a post because, well, there is a bit of guilt for all the books that were sent to me having not produced reviews for most of them. Does this mean I didn't talk about them? Nope. Share them with others? Nope. It just means I didn't officially sit here at my blog and write a full page report. And....I have to be okay with that. I did what I could and all those books made their way to readers who ate them up.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So on to what I HAVE been doing. I have been watching and enjoying my son, now 7, become an amazing reader and lover of stories. We have been busy! We have always read every night but many times we read over breakfast AND we now listen to audiobooks!!!! In the car on the way to and from school or anytime we are in the car going anywhere. I'm so excited because he is at that stage of reading that I love! The early chapter book stage! Okay, who am I kidding? I love them all!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh dear Lord, how I loved this book! Definitely one of my favorites this year! I have nothing good things to say. Just look for it in January, read it and talk about it! </span> </div>
<u></u><br />
<br />
<u>Book Summary:</u><br />
<em>An exhilarating and heart-wrenching love story about a girl who learns to live from a boy who intends to die.</em><br />
<div id="finch">
<em><img src="http://www.jenniferniven.com/images/finch.png" /></em></div>
<em><strong>Theodore Finch</strong> is fascinated by death. Every day he thinks of ways he might die, but every day he also searches for—and manages to find—something to keep him here, and alive, and awake.</em><br />
<div id="violet">
<em><img src="http://www.jenniferniven.com/images/violet.png" /></em></div>
<em><strong>Violet Markey</strong> lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her small Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister's death.</em><br />
<em>When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school—six stories above the ground—it's unclear who saves whom. And when the unlikely pair teams up on a class project to discover the "natural wonders" of their state, they go, as Finch says, where the road takes them: the grand, the small, the bizarre, the beautiful, the ugly, the surprising—just like life.</em><br />
<em>Soon it's only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a bold, funny, live-out-loud guy, who's not such a freak after all. And it's only with Finch that Violet forgets to count away the days and starts living them. But as Violet's world grows, Finch's begins to shrink.</em><br />
<em>This is a heart-wrenching, unflinching story of love shared, life lived, and two teens who find one another while standing on the edge. (Author's website)</em><br />

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Rocks" class="hidden-phone book-cover" src="http://d28hgpri8am2if.cloudfront.net/book_images/onix/cvr9781476714547/rocks-9781476714547_lg.jpg" title="Rocks" /> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was pretty stoked when I saw this title on the list to review. I wouldn't say I'm a HUGE Aerosmith fan but I enjoy them enough to want to know the dirt. In general I am a huge Rock Doc and music memoir fan. I just love to read and/or listen to people talk about how they got to be where they are now. I like to hear about the lessons learned, the places they've seen, the people they've met, etc. It's exciting. Perry has this subtle Boston drawl which I love to listen to, reminds me of the days I lived there. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He is extremely down to earth, even during the more famous times. He recounts his passion for music from an early age that drove him to search and search until he found it. Ultimately, even with the ups and downs he had with Aerosmith, he was still fortunate to find a band that has lasted this long.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He dishes about Steven Tyler, his flames, the musicians he admires and throughout it you get a sense that he has really lived and learned. He doesn't come across as "better" than anyone. He admits to being a douche bag sometimes. That's life.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, it was a really fun listen. I enjoyed it so much in audio, having him to listen to was key. If there were another narrator it may have been different.</span></div>

Robert Dugoni’s bestselling legal thrillers have earned him comparisons to John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Nelson DeMille, among others. In <strong>MY SISTER’S GRAVE</strong> (Thomas & Mercer; October 14, 2014), Dugoni returns with the powerful and poignant story of a homicide detective determined to avenge the murder of her beloved younger sister – regardless of the cost.</div>

Seattle cop Tracy Crosswhite was a high school chemistry teacher when her teenaged sister Sarah disappeared one night on her way home to their small town of Cedar Grove. A young ex-con, Edmund House, was quickly tried and convicted of her murder. Twenty years and a career change later, Tracy has dedicated her life to questioning whether the right man went to jail. When Sarah’s remains are uncovered from a newly-exposed lake bed, new evidence seems to support Tracy’s theory that the original prosecution was deeply flawed.</div>

Working with a childhood friend, now an attorney, to exonerate House and find Sarah’s true killer, Tracy begins to uncover long-held secrets that point to a shocking – and potentially catastrophic – truth about what happened to her sister on that long-ago night. Somewhere in Cedar Grove, a killer is waiting, and Tracy must summon the strength to confront the past in order to save her future. (TLC Book Tours)</div>

<strong>A WOMAN OUT FOR BLOOD</strong><br />Nicole Martin was only eight years old when the vampire slaves rose up in rebellion and killed her family. Now she devotes her life to finding a vaccine against vampirism, hoping to wipe out her memories—along with every bloodsucker on the planet.

I am probably one of the very few people out there who did NOT read The Art of Racing in the Rain. I remember the many readers and customers from Borders raving about it but I just didn't get to it. I am, however, very happy that I got to his latest novel, A Sudden Light. </div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
This book was magical. The narrator was so talented in his abilities to bounce from one character to another, up to seven different voices.<br />
<br />
Here's a quick description of this wonderful story:<br />
<br />
<div id="yui_3_8_1_1_1413222722217_1228">
<i>In the summer of 1990,
fourteen-year-old Trevor Riddell gets his first glimpse of Riddell
House. Built from the spoils of a massive timber fortune, the legendary
family mansion is constructed of giant, whole trees, and is set on a
huge estate overlooking Puget Sound. Trevor’s bankrupt parents have
begun a trial separation, and his father, Jones Riddell, has brought
Trevor to Riddell House with a goal: to join forces with his sister,
Serena, dispatch Grandpa Samuel—who is flickering in and out of
dementia—to a graduated living facility, sell off the house and property
for development into “tract housing for millionaires,” divide up the
profits, and live happily ever after.</i></div>
<i>
</i><div id="yui_3_8_1_1_1413222722217_1196">
<i>But Trevor soon discovers there’s
someone else living in Riddell House: a ghost with an agenda of his
own. For while the land holds tremendous value, it is also burdened by
the final wishes of the family patriarch, Elijah, who mandated it be
allowed to return to untamed forestland as a penance for the millions of
trees harvested over the decades by the Riddell Timber company. The
ghost will not rest until Elijah’s wish is fulfilled, and Trevor’s
willingness to face the past holds the key to his family’s future. (Barnes and Noble)</i></div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_1_1413222722217_1196">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_1_1413222722217_1196">
This book is perfect for this time of year with all of the ingredients to spook you. You have the old haunted house, a family with secrets, and plenty of ghosts. I felt so strongly for all the characters, never really hating the ones you were supposed to or loving the ones who seemed to have the most to lose. They were all flawed and real and I was sad to leave them them in the end.</div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_1_1413222722217_1196">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_1_1413222722217_1196">
Listening to this story brought on such a power of empathy. Once again, the narrator nailed it. You really felt you were listening to multiple people telling this story. It made it even more real.</div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_1_1413222722217_1196">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_1_1413222722217_1196">
I highly recommend to audio book to lovers of solid literary fiction with a twist of suspense. Perfect for the Halloween season!</div>

the summer of 1990, fourteen-year-old Trevor Riddell gets his first
glimpse of Riddell House. Built from the spoils of a massive timber
fortune, the legendary family mansion is constructed of giant whole
trees and is set on a huge estate overlooking Seattle’s Puget Sound.
Trevor’s bankrupt parents have begun a trial separation, and his father,
Jones Riddell, has brought Trevor to Riddell House with a goal: to join
forces with his sister, Serena, dispatch the ailing and elderly Grandpa
Samuel to a nursing home, sell off the house and property for
development, divide up the profits, and live happily ever after.<br />
<br />
But
as Trevor explores the house’s secret stairways and hidden rooms, he
discovers a spirit lingering in Riddell House whose agenda is at odds
with the family plan. Only Trevor’s willingness to face the dark past of
his forefathers will reveal the key to his family’s future.<br />
<br />
Spellbinding and atmospheric, <i>A Sudden Light</i>
is rich with unconventional characters, scenes of transcendent natural
beauty, and unforgettable moments of emotional truth that reflect Garth
Stein’s outsized capacity for empathy and keen understanding of human
motivation—a triumphant work of a master storyteller at the height of
his power - See more at:

I've started three of them. Here's a little bit of info on the gems that have been sent to me to review.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We are not ourselves by Matthew Thomas</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This novel is getting a lot of attention. It is a debut novel full of engrossing drama and family dynamics. Narrated by actress Mare Winningham, whom I love. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One Kick by Chelsea Cain</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A new thriller for her. Stand alone. If you want a thrill, this would be for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A Sudden Light by Garth Stein</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am probably one of the only people left in the universe that has not read Art of Racing in the Rain. Well, I'm making up for it by LOVING this book. Narration not so tight yet but I can tell the story is going to be really good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am a huge fan of Westerfeld's Uglies series so I was really excited to have an opportunity to check out another teen book of his. Haven't started this one yet but am really looking forward to it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Happy Listening and as always, thanks for stopping by!</span></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Solomon's Whisper (Book 5 in the Liv Bergen series) </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">by Sandra Brannan</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<i>As Liv Bergen investigates the long-ago murder of her niece, she uncovers a well-guarded secret—and stumbles into one the most prolific killer she’s faced yet.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<i>Once an amateur sleuth, Liv “Boots” Bergen has now found her footing as an official FBI agent. It should be Liv’s dream career—she’s working closely with a bureau legend, Agent Streeter Pierce, as well as the exotic Agent Jack Linwood, with whom she shares a growing romance. Liv has proven to be an adept agent, and the whole office has been moved to a brand new, state-of-the-art facility in central Denver.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<i>And yet, doubt plagues her. Liv is tormented by the knowledge that her work with the FBI could endanger her extended family—and has almost resolved to leave the bureau as a result. Agent Streeter Pierce, who harbors an affection for Liv that sometimes transcends the professional, comes up with an unorthodox plan to keep her around: she can investigate a cold case that’s especially important to her, the kidnapping and murder of her ten-year-old niece, Brianna.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<i>Liv jumps at the chance, but her focus on finding Brianna’s killer is soon diluted. Piece by piece, the case reveals itself to be just one point in a harrowing series of murders. Spanning decades and the country, the web of crime Liv uncovers causes her to question everything—including the integrity of her own colleagues. (author website)</i></div>
<div style="line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm told there will be 7 books in this series and I am grateful to have been a part of recommending them to a world of readers. I met the author back in 2010 at the Book Expo in NYC. We were both new to that scene but hit it off and I, in turn, became a huge fan of her books. I am lucky to have been able to "kick off", so to speak, her blog tours of the last four books and I couldn't imagine not doing it again this year. So here I am.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My reading and blogging pace has definitely slowed in the last few years but I am still an active reader and recommender of all the literary things I love. I am happy to report the all the Liv Begen fans out there, that #5 is a winner. I've liked all of the books but only the first and the fourth so far have really WOWED me. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Book 5 Solomon's Whisper is just as personal as Noah's Rainy Day, this time dealing with the disappearance and the murder of her niece. I liked that family angle again, it brought even more depth to Liv's character. We see more of a romantic side to Liv, with her relationship with Jack and her partnership with Streeter in the FBI. She's not as clunky as she has been in past books. She is quick witted and becomes a bit more sure of her role, having now become an official agent with the FBI. And the ending? Well, that I did NOT expect. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's necessary to read these books in order, because of the simple evolution of Liv's character and her relationships with those around her. This book is a bit dark dealing with child abduction, murder, rape and pedophilia. It's tough at times but any good thriller is going to have a bit of that graphic nature in it. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">

Here I am!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Wow. Okay. It's been almost two months since I posted. Sheesh. Summer is busy and blogging is NOT happening. But I have been reading...kind of. I've been listening a lot more than reading but I feel like I'm still maintaining a literary life. :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For my reading pleasure, I finished a few books...not anything overly stellar. I'm still waiting for that!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Out of Bounds by Dawn Ryder. I signed on to do an erotica review and well, I'm just not that into you. Sorry, erotica genre. You will have to go. I tried. I really tried.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yes, Chef by Marcus Samuelsson. This was fun. Read it for my book club. It made me extremely hungry! Love my foodie memoirs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Prairie Tale by Melissa Gilbert. HUGE Little House of the Prairie fan so I obviously loved reading this one.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Coreygography by Corey Feldman. He was not my favorite Corey. I'm Team Haim all the way but this memoir opened my eyes up to him as a person and now I feel much differently towards. Very smart, well put together memoir about the realities of being a child star.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For my listening pleasure, I've been a bit busier.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon. WOW! How amazing this was. So spooky, so thrilling. Really hard to get out of my car while listening to this! Highly recommended.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Reality Boy by A.S. King</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This was a sad tale of a very dysfunctional family. Narrator was right on but it was not a fun listen. I ended up hating just about everyone in there.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">All Fall Down by Jennifer Weiner</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've listened to her books before and they have always had amazing narrators. This was a downer of a book but really well told and written.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Telling it like it is by Tori Spelling</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had to do it. It was a quick listen narrated by her and it was super dramatic and over the top but pretty fun to listen to.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Fun literary news. I met Hilary Clinton last month at a book signing. Bought at copy of her book Hard Choices and got it autographed. Very fun. Very memorable event. :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am not saying yes to reviewing any books this summer or maybe early fall, just trying to enjoy what I have.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hope all is well with all of you!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Happy reading and as always, thanks for stopping by!</span><br />
