Lots of books read at the lake. More to come, as I'm heading back later today. : )

#20 - Midnight in Austenland by Shannon Hale

A sequel to Austenland and another in the new canon that is selling books based on Jane Austen's name (love them in spite of that!). I liked this one better than the first one, I think, but I can't really remember the ( Read more... )

#16 - I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella - Another stand-alone by Kinsella. I listened to this one on CD. I far prefer her stand-alones these days. This one was cute. All about a couple who meet because she is using a lost phone that belonged to his assistant. I enjoyed it.

#17 - The War for Late Night: When Leno Went Early and Television ( Read more... )

#10 - The Sign by Raymond Khoury - Listened to this one on CD in the car. It didn't have Tess and Riley in it and was okay. It seemed to last a really long time.

#11 - Starmaker: Life as a Hollywood Publicist with Farrah, The Rat Pack and 600 More Stars Who Fired Me by Jay Bernstein - A very enjoyable Hollywood memoir. I didn't read it straight ( Read more... )

Well, I didn't make it to 50, but considering I moved in with my fiance and got married this fall, I'm not too disappointed in my final numbers:

#26 - Roma by Steven Saylor ( Read more... )

It's been a busy summer so far, what with moving, spending time at the lake with my fiance (who likes to read, but also wants to be active, which means tennis, fishing, etc.), and various family responsibilities. That being said, I have managed to get some reading done:

#19 - Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran ( Read more... )

#12 - Petite Anglaise by Catherine Sanderson ( Read more... )

Okay, so I didn't report books last year... mainly because I read an embarrassingly small number of them (thirteen? I think...). But hey, I was getting married. I'm trying to get back into the flow this year, but I've started editing and between that and freelance writing and looking for a day job... I haven't had as much time as I'd like. But I've ( Read more... )

#9 - The Nobodies Album by Carolyn Parkhurst

I've read another book by this author, Lost and Found, and also really enjoyed it. Couldn't get into her first one though. This one is about a famous writer whose rock-star son is arrested for murdering his girlfriend. Literary, but very enjoyable, and believable.

#10 - Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins ( Read more... )

It's been a couple of months since I updated, but I have been reading. : ) I've actually started far more books than I've finished. I'm pretty picky these days. Any sign of sucky writing or boring plot or badly told story and I'm outta there.

#3 - The Guardians by Andrew Pyper

A Canadian thriller/horror writer whose The Killing Circle I read a ( Read more... )

Definitely my worst showing since I joined this group - one day I will make it to fifty!!!

Book 26: Pardonable Lies by Jacqueline Winspear
The second and third books in the Maisie Dobbs mystery series, about the pyschologist/investigator solving crimes in 1920s/30s London. All of the mysteries have ( Read more... )
