I'm reading


Are you re-reading Dusty? I thought you were farther in that series. It's my favorite of the series.


LOL, No rush... that means I would have to find room on my bookshelves for them again.

Dusty > tried it ~ no preview on Amazon or google books. I don't have the book on my nook it is a paperback. That was why I was asking if anyone had it in ebook form that they could check. No worries. Appears from what Zina found out it wouldn't work for me :(

This is the first I've read of Melissa Mayhue. I really enjoyed the story. It was a little predictible. nodern girl swept back in time to fall in love with a highland warrior. I thought I knew how it would end, but the ending surprised me just a bit.
Items:
Tie pg 16 He stood then straightening his tie.
Mist pg 2... for in those days, far in the misty recesses of time, the Fae abided by very strict rules.
Elbow pg 186 Part of his weight was supported on his elbows...
Instrument pg 234 The music of the pipers amd flutes and drummers floated down to them before they reached the castle.

I do believe this is the first I have read by this author. The main character and her family that this revolves around are all just a little nutty ~ ends up being in a good way. A predictable love story but I did find a new phrase that just cracks me up Holy testicle Tuesday! just try saying that three times fast,lol.
Items:
Tie p768. Blacktie, too.
Fire truck (emergency vehicle ) p 409 Somewhere, a fire truck laid on the air horn.
Tail p251 He responded by lifting his tail and fertilizing the trail.
Sunshine p230 They just assume, hey, I'm in love, everything is sunshine and roses, let's run to Vegas......

There is a step by step on the linking on the group home page, near the bottom of the page in the how to 101 section.

I am about 60% done. I am staying home today. I caught the cold bug that hubby had last week. So i plan on bundling up, drink lots of tea and read.
Story is getting really interesting now. Nothing like a good murder mystery to keep you guessing.

Hope you feel better!! I totally agree ~ there is nothing better than curling up in bed and reading as long as I'm not too sick.

Review:
This is the first book that I have read by this author. Was a great read. Detective john Corey is a character that you hate at times, want to slap his face, sit and have a beer with. He is so sarcastic and a wise ass. Love him!
Basically the story is about these scientist that work on this island off the coast of New York that does research about animal diseases. They were murdered and it was supposed that they were killed because they were selling anthrax to foreign governments. Thats not why they were killed. Was very entertaining read. Lots of history of the area and legends. Will definitely read more of his novels.
Items Found
Tie p.269 You had on a purple suit with a tie with grapes.....
Mist p.89 The mist was burning off....
Shoulder p.129 Max looked over my shoulder
Emergency Vehicle p.111 These firetrucks are used mostly for brush fires.

Will update spreadsheet when I can get to a computer.

I changed my book to Slammed by Colleen Hooveer and I'll have my review up either tonight or tomorrow NZDT time

Slammed was a 5 star read for me. I absolutely fell in love with the book. Colleen Hoover created wonderful characters that you can't help but fall in love with. I love the writing style of the author which was really powerful and made you feel for the characters and everything they were going through but what made the book truly special was the slam poetry which added soul to the book.
Items:
Tie: pg 77 - The color of his tie matches his green eyes perfectly, making them hard to look away from.
Sky: pg 15 - I'm flat on my back, staring up at the clear blue sky
Toe: pg 77 - I step on the heel of my boot with my toe and kick it off in the entry,....
Snow: pg 15 - I quickly drop the snow and dry my hands on my sweatshirt as I head toward the jeep.

you should put it to the top of your tbr list, it was definitely a great read.

The only appropriate time I thought about using it would have been to the 3 year old and it would have been lost so no I did not use the phrase. :(
