Finished Second Street Station and it was a very good read.  The trials of women in the 1880's would have set me on edge and I was so empathetic with the main character -- female and trying to become a detective.

I've read several books since then, mostly reviewed on the Mystery page 

Love the cooler weather.  It makes it great to sit on the deck with the dogs and read!!!

Have you seen this list:   9 books to read if you Hate reading   I have read Jurassic Park and absolutely loved it but then who wouldn't?  lol I tried to read the Kite Runner and really couldn't get into it and I haven't read the rest.   hmmmmm, wonder what that says about me??????

Wow, we are having great weather here in Mid MO.  Instead of the usual 100 degree weather it is in the 70's.

I reading a very good book for review:  Second Street Station by Lawrence H. Levy.  I'm not even halfway done but I do recommend it.  I'll post a review as soon as I'm done.

Happy Friday everyone.  I've added some really good books to some of my pages.  You might want to check them out.

Summer will be coming to an end soon.  All the kids will be getting ready for school and hopefully will be reading!   It is always great to see a child start to love reading.  Check out your local libraries.  Our local library has outstanding kids' programs.  They go all out for activities and such.  We even have a home school group.

Where every you go take a book - you never know when you'll be on hold, waiting for someone/something or just relaxing and will have time to read.  I'm starting a new book today:  Deadly Messengers by Susan May.

Where ever you go, whatever you do make sure to have fun!

My mind is definitely getting more exercise than my body!

It is a beautiful day here in mid MO.  The sun is shining, the temperature is great.  Now I have a major decision - sit outside and read?  crochet on my current project?   housework?   OK, we know housework isn't going to win.  lol

  or      

Either way, guess I'll be calm.

I got my first Kindle Fire today.  I've never had any kind of tablet or ereader so this is so cool.  I got it on ebay and it has a 2 week warranty even.  It is a 3rd generation but I don't know about any of them so it is ok.

I added a review to the Sci Fi/Fantasy page here.  I really liked it.  Check out the review and see what you think.

I have books on all my pages now, so I hope you will enjoy my reviews and that they may get you interested in reading some of them.  There are only a few because I am now doing reviews again and didn't want to fill the pages up just to have to delete some of them.

There is a link at the bottom of the page so that you can follow me by email.  If you do that, you won't miss any of my reviews and when I post book giveaways you'll be one of the first to know.
