_The Casual Vacancy_ by J.K. Rowling
_The Casual Vacancy_ by J.K. Rowling After the last Harry Potter book came out, it was always a question as to whether or not J.K. Rowling could write another successful novel. With the Harry Potter books I was never convinced that the quality of writing was good, but the storytelling aspect was always effective. Therefore,…

_Wrecked: When a Broken World Slams into your Comfortable Life_
_Wrecked: When a Broken World Slams into your Comfortable Life_ by Jeff Goins I cannot seem to pass up 99cent books. Plus, following Jeff Goins on Twitter and Facebook makes it harder to ignore opportunities to read books on sale. It’s a great marketing scheme for him and a bonus for readers like me. 😉…

_Eon_ by Greg Bear
_Eon_ by Greg Bear I haven’t had as much time to read as I did early on in the holiday, but I still have been spending time each day with a book. When I was getting low on things to read, I put out a call on Facebook and got some recommendations of different novels.…

_Born To Run_ by Christopher McDougall
_Born To Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen_ by Christopher McDougall Apparently, the author of this book was on The Daily Show a while back, but I didn’t remember that until R mentioned it. In any case, I came across this title when someone on Facebook had mentioned…

_Fat Loss for Beginners_
_Fat Loss for Beginners_ by Vic Magary Okay, so not really my usual kind of reading material. However, a friend of mine from high school posted it on his FB page promoting it for one of his friends. Plus, it was free on Amazon Kindle, so why not, right? It’s a very short read and…

_The Lost Years_
_The Lost Years_ by Mary Higgins Clark It’s been quite a while since I’ve read a Mary Higgins Clark novel and I can’t recall liking the last one so much, but I continue to give my favorite authors a chance when new novels come out. Since I’m still on vacation mode and can’t work on…

_Cross Fire (Alex Cross)_ by James Patterson
_Cross Fire (Alex Cross)_ by James Patterson Well, I downloaded this book a while ago and wasn’t sure if I had already read it or not. Then, I did a search of my posts (comes in handy!) and found that I HAD already read it…. So, no need to rewrite about the synopsis. Since I…

_11th Hour_ by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro
_11th Hour_ by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro So, it’s possible that I may have to return my attentions back to work or something as I’m plowing through books like there is no tomorrow. Or, I should read more challenging books… 🙂 In any case, this was one of the better books in the Women’s…

_Kill Alex Cross_ by James Patterson
_Kill Alex Cross_ by James Patterson When on holiday, there’s nothing better to read than a James Patterson novel. It’s quick, mindless and entertaining. I have been disappointed with some of his novels, but I do like the Alex Cross series. This one centered around two stories that ran parallel and periodically seemed to have…

_You Are A Writer: So Start Acting Like One_ by Jeff Goins
_You Are A Writer: So Start Acting Like One_ by Jeff Goins A friend of mine on Facebook posted a link to this book and the writer in me decided I should read it! Lucky for me, it also happened to be free on Kindle and after about two short hours of reading, I completed…
