• _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 a compilation of Vic Magary’s blog posts (a new trend in Kindle books). However, it reads well enough…

  • _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 my dissertation 24/7, I am still going through books like a crazy person. ๐Ÿ™‚ So, this story was…

  • Okay, so I’m having a bit of a pity party on my behalf. So, if you’re not in the mood to read my whinging or just don’t feel like reading anything down, this is not the post for you! First, there really is nothing in my life that is so bad. I have a great family. I have a wonderful boyfriend. I have some wonderfully kind and good friends. I have a well-paying…

  • I gotta say I’ve had enough of the down pouring rain. This Oregon-girl left it behind because of the rain…. For the first couple of days I was staying positive about the change of pace and climate, but four days straight of this nonsense is starting to give me a little cabin fever and grey skies blues. It doesn’t seem to look promising in terms of clearing up, though…guess that’s the risk of…

  • R is always on the lookout for good food and good beer. So, we had passed a sign for Weissbier (Wheat beer) a few times on our nightly rides. The other day, R decided to check out the menu and see if it was any good. Well, Weissbier and Wine Restaurant is a cute little place hidden back off the main road. The food is a delicious German/Austrian fare and both the beer…

  • Just a few pics to show what we’ve been up to. It’s not all, but just a few tasters: [shashin type=”photo” id=”5752,5753,5754,5755,5756,5772,5773,5778,5751,5750,5749,5784″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] -T ๐Ÿ˜€

  • _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 hadn’t recalled reading it the first time, I guess I didn’t like it that much the first round.…

  • Just realized that I missed writing yesterday as I spent it at the pool. I had meant to do some writing and work, but instead just enjoyed spacing out, watching people and relaxing. It was a good alternative. ๐Ÿ™‚ Today is rainy, so I have no excuse not to get some things done. Unfortunately, I forgot to upload pictures and videos from the last couple of days, so will save that for the…

  • _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… ๐Ÿ™‚ In any case, this was one of the better books in the Women’s Murder Club series. All the relationships are mostly settled with a bit of drama here and there. 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 connection to keep interest alive. The main storyline was the kidnapping of the president’s two children. Alex Cross…
