WHAT I READ

Not much has changed since last week. But I did manage to get the audiobook I was listening to finished...


ANATOMY BY DANA SCHWARTZ

I am still processing my thoughts on this one, it was not what I thought, however, I did not hate it, I just am not sure if I really liked it!

WHAT I AM READING



LORE BY ALEXANDRA BRACKEN

First, let me say I DO NOT LIKE LONG BOOKS. If it is past 400 pages I spend the bulk of my time checking to see how many more pages I have left. Yes, I know this is all in my head, and I am trying to remedy this by adding longer books to my reading. Well, Lore is the first since I have made that personal challenge and it is going slow. Not because I do not like the book, y'all know I love Greek Mythology, it's just sooo intimating to me, and it is NOT even that long, honestly, I have read longer. I refuse to carry this over into February so I am reading my little butt off today! I have about 200 pages to go...wish me luck LOL


THE NIGHT SHIFT BY ALEX FINLAY

Loving this thriller. I am reading this at night on my Kindle. We are having so much work on the house going on that by the time I hit the bed I read a few lines and fall asleep. I am hoping to get a quiet day soon so I can finish this up and start on a few others. I bet Net Galley wishes I would hurry and get things read also!

   WHAT I AM PLANNING TO READ



SOMETHINGS GUAVA GIVE BY CARRIE DOYLE

This is my next audiobook which I hope to start today while I am attempting to do some cleaning. 

Summary:

Plum Lockhart went out on a limb when she ditched her corporate job in New York City and moved to the Caribbean island of Paraiso. Now the head of her own villa broker agency, she spends her days chasing down clients and lounging on white-sand beaches.

But the sweet life turns sour when a publishing heiress is found dead at the mansion of eccentric tycoon Dieter Friedrich. Even worse, Plum's old colleague cashes in a favor and asks her to investigate. It looks like she'll need to fit a murder case into her already jam-packed schedule!

Friedrich is known for his shady dealings, but he's not the only bad apple on the island―Plum will have to contend with a scheming millionaire, a sleazy rockstar, and devious B-list celebrities. And joining Plum once again is Juan Kevin Munoz, the distractingly gorgeous Director of Security. Despite the sparks between them, they'll need to stay focused on the case―there's a murderer hot on their heels!


Right now that is all I have planned to read. I am thinking a light romance after finishing Lore, I got a really nice package from Read Forever Pub last week in the mail that included three romances, it might be a nice break from the intenseness of Greek Mythology!

    Your books all sound good. Since I read almost exclusively on my Kindle, I don't know how long a book is until I'm ready to add it to my reading spreadsheet. I have unknowingly read some really, really long books. Of course, I've also read some books that took forever that didn't actually have very many pages. It all depends how interested I am in the story. I loved The Night Shift when I read it. Your next audiobook sounds good too. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

    I did not use to be intimidated by longer books either but recently just haven't wanted anything to do with them. I read one recently that was just over 400 pages and I did the same thing, kept looking to see how many more pages!! Good luck with Lore!

    All these books sound wonderful. Since my reading time is so limited, I find I really have to love it in the first couple of chapters to continue if it is a long book.

    Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog today.

    I'm so intimidated by long books too. When I request books, I try to look at the page count. But, if it's something I really want to read, i'll still read it.

Can't Wait Wednesdays: Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo

Can't-Wait Wednesday is hosted by Tressa at  Wishful Endings  and gives us a chance to highlight books we are patiently waiting to fill up our TBRs with. I love spooky season, not all the pumpkin spice items they now have that stock the grocery shelves, but the creepy books I can snuggle up with wearing a comfy sweater. Who am I kidding...it is still too warm here to wear a sweater in October. Despite the sweltering 100 degrees weather here on the Oklahoma prairie, I am thinking about all the creepy and thrilling books I can stack my TBR list with, and Summer Sons is really close to the top of my list! SUMMER SONS BY LEE MANDELO Hardcover ,  384 pages Expected publication: September 28th, 2021 by Tordotcom Andrew and Eddie did everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers until Eddie left Andrew behind to start his graduate program at Vanderbilt. Six months later, only days before Andrew was to join him in Nashville, Eddie dies of an apparent suicide. He leaves

Sunday Salon- More Hot Weather and More House Reno's

 The Sunday Salon is hosted by  Readerbuzz  Another hot week here in Oklahoma. Once again we have had temps and heat indexes in the triple digits, and it looks like it will continue on into this week. We were lucky enough to receive some rain a few times, however, once the sun came out it WAS HOT. I don't want to be one of those people who start wishing for all things pumpkins, long walks in falling leaves, etc...but at this point, I am. Of course, everything is rather dead here due to the heat so, we might not have many leaves to change and fall LOL. Our garden seems to be loving the heat, we are overrun with tomatoes, and have been eating them with every meal and giving them away We are still working on the dining room. With a hundred-year-old house, and plaster walls and ceilings, and a decent-sized earthquake last year ( fracking causes our earthquakes ) we had a few repairs to make before the actual painting started. The entire ceiling had to be redone, along with several long

BOOK BEGINNINGS ON FRIDAY : BEFORE PITTSBURGH BY KASIE WHITENER

Every Friday Book Beginnings hosted by  Rose City Readers  asks you to grab the book you are reading and share the first sentence or paragraph and then give your feelings on it or anything else that it inspires. Be sure to include the title and the author I started Before Pittsburgh by Kasie Whitener a few days ago, it has been a busy week so the reading is going slow, but I am really enjoying it. It is the second book this month I have read that 9/11 plays a small part in, I suppose because it is the 20 year anniversary next month. It seems mad to me that it happened 20 years ago. It also seems maddening that all the time our soldiers spent over there Afghanistan is right back where they were when we started. " Power hour: one shot of beer every minute for an hour. Six beers in one hour. A toast for every shot. It's juvenile, but it gets you hammered. Tony and I sat on the dorm room floor at Radford University.
