• _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…

  • Nothing new to report. Just having some quiet days – reading, swimming, sleeping and relaxing. That’s what my two-week relaxing hiatus is for, right? Gonna start making lists/notes of things to do, though when I get back into the swing of things. Did go for a short run and walk today, which was good…. More later, -T ๐Ÿ˜€

  • _You Are A Writer: ย 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 it feeling inspired. One of the first and most important steps that Goins impresses upon the reading is…

  • I think I’m going to have to stop counting the days that I am here because I can’t really keep track of them anymore. It’s great when the days finally start to blend together as it means that ‘vacation-mode’ is finally setting in. Mostly, I do the days in the title to differentiate the posts and give them some order, but I suppose the date of publication will do that for me…. ๐Ÿ™‚…

  • _Fifty Shades of Grey_ by EL James It might concern me that a novel like this is on the top of New York Times bestseller’s list, or it might concern me more that people are flocking to read this novel over other literary works. However, literature always is a reflection of the times, it seems and I think that this novel is no different. When I read the reviews of this book and…

  • There’s nothing quite like waking up and realizing that you’re on vacation with absolutely nothing to do. If you’re like me, then on a normal day your mind might start racing with making a mental list of what needs to be done. So, when you remember that, in fact, you have nothing that ‘has’ to be done, a smile is all that is left to be had! ๐Ÿ˜€ Still, I haven’t quite fully…

  • Let me just start with – It’s fantastic to be on vacation at last! ๐Ÿ˜€ We embarked in the early morning from Abu Dhabi on Etihad’s partner airline – AirBerlin. First, a few comments about this flight. This was the first time I’d been on an AirBerlin flight as I’ve hardly been to Europe and not at all to Germany. There are a few important points to make note of. The seats reminded…
