My friends have been talking about these books for awhile and telling me I should read them.  I feel so far behind since there are now 19.  They are funny and keep you on your toes.   I love Stephanie and her family, they are a bit crazy like mine.

This is a short story telling about what "really" happened to Joan of Arc.  Fun quick read. I have fallen in love with Michael Scott's writing and can't wait to read more of his books.

Another Short by Michael Scott, this is longer than the Joan of Arc one.  Talking about Billy the Kid who was made immortal and what he has been up to and how he ends up fighting Vampyres in Vegas.

Just finished reading the second book in the Inn Boonsboro series by Nora Roberts.  I love the story and the characters, I could use less cuss words though.  Not sure why people think using that langauge make things better, especailly in writing.  That being said I love the small town feel, the characters and love they show, the fun of hearing how the Inn is being put together and used.     We are actually discussing the first book at Book Club tonight.   Should be fun!! 

books I read in 2011

This is my book list from last year of what I read, 32 books in all.  So far this year I am at 27 books, my goal to read 50, let's see if I can make it!!!    I love that good reads helps me with keeping a count of my goal.

A Summer of reading

I have been busy the last few weeks reading. :)  This one is a short story book, but really cute. Made me miss my grandma even more.    Along with the one  I also read these books :

1st in her Cove series. Really enjoyed it and can't wait to read the next one.

Nicholas Flammel is still alive???  This one was fun and exciting to read, now I need to read the other ones in this series.

Fun twist on  Witches and Wizards and the society in which they live.  Kind of scary some of the things happening in this book that happen now.

I love Richard Paul Evans and this is the 3rd book in his the Walk series. I loved it and can't wait for the next one.

now I am reading my first Nora Roberts book for book club next week. So excited that for the club and hoping that the group meshes well with each other. :)

In kids books, I bought this one for my girls this week.  We love the Very Fairy Princess books and this one didn't disappoint!!!   It actually reminded me of when I was a flower girl for my aunt's wedding.   My girls loved it too and I am sure we will be reading this one over and over and over again.
