The past few days I have read "Private Justice", "Shadow of Doubt", and "Line of Duty" by Terri Blackstock. Yesterday I read "Visible Threat", and "Critical Pursuit" by Janice Cantore. Books are my "Calgon take me away" therapy!
I like Terry as well. I've read just 2 of hers I think, let me look Ok, these: Cape Refuge (1st in series I think) Night Light (1st in Restoration series) I have most of her books in my library, got sidetracked and into some other authors, but also christian authors.
"I never talk about what happened. There are reasons, good reasons, but I keep those to myself too." Unspoken by Dee Henderson is what I am reading now.
I absolutely hate it when I am reading books that are part of a series and I find out that I only have a part of that series. I thought there were only two books in this series by Janice Cantore, so I read "Drawing Fire" and then started "Burning Proof" and couldn't wait to get to the ending to see if justice was served and two of the characters ended up together...only to find out neither of these things....as there is a third book in the series that I did not know about. I went online and put in on hold at my local Library....but probably by the time they email me that it is ready to pick up..I will be to absorbed in another book or series to care.
I'm re-reading The Rose Labyrinth by Titania Hardie. I read it several years ago but was out of any new books. I'm enjoying it again.
I"m reading Deadly Pursuit by Irene Hannon. I started it last night because I like to read some before I go to sleep as this always relaxes me. This morning in between the few things I had to take care of around our home I picked it up and started reading it again. It was easy reading until the addicted to "meth" characters were introduced. Since meth is what my Nephew is addicted to, I'm kind of struggling to not close this book and write it off as not a good book. Yet, the author is realistically portraying "meth addiction" through those addicted to it...and I find it is helping me understand this addiction a little better even though I really don't want to. So I'm going to finish this book and hope I learn something that can help me understand why "meth" addiction causes a person to throw their whole lives away to chase after it. I don't think I'm going to like any of the answers that I might find though...
I went to the used bookstore in Ozark yesterday and traded a boxful of books for more books to get me through the winter. A good mystery, a large bowl of popcorn ( or any food you can eat with one hand) a mug of hot chocolate ( or other drink). What better way to pass the cold winter days?
I am reading the Wayward Pines first book that was on Prime Reading. It is definitely an odd storyline with a lot of unexpected twists, at least at the beginning. I am not sure whether I like this book or not yet, but it does keep your interest going. Has anyone else read these books, and what did you think after you read the book ? The name is familiar, so I keep thinking that someone else here has posted about the books, maybe @Diane Lane ? I really like Prime Reading ! They get new books listed all of the time, and most of them are the more expensive and newer releases. Some of the books I have read are one part of a trilogy, or some kind of a series so the Prime Reading does encourage you to read the whole set.
I have watched the show. I think I did read the books, too, and they were similar to the show. I really liked the story line and characters.
Wayward Pines is based on a book by Blake Crouch. Somewhere in the forum, I had mentioned that I had reviewed his first book - Desert Places - when I published a newspaper. I’ve also read his fourth book - Snowbound, but I have not read Wayward Pines, although I do watch the series. The pilot for the series was directed by M. Night Shyamalan, who has directed a lot of very good movies (The Sixth Sense, Signs, The Village), but I don’t know what his involvement is with the rest of the series.
Just finished SHADOW ON THE SNOW by Dorothy Bodoin. Very good, I am now reading LIKELY TO DIE by Linda Fairstein. I've got several of her books.
Younger Next Year for Women Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy---Until You're 80 and Beyond by Chris Crowley & Henry S. Lodge, M.D. These Authors first wrote Younger Next Year which was basically for men. People would read it and then buy copies for family and friends, and this just kept snowballing until Health Clubs were giving copies to their members, etc. Reading just a few pages I found a humorous tone to what is written and I found this book caught my interest more than the more serious toned ones of Aging Gracefully, etc. I want this last season of my life to be one of the best...and I'm actually hoping I will find some helpful wisdom in this book to help me make it that way.
