IT'S RAINING IN CA!!

I was sitting here trying to read Cotillion by Georgette Heyer, the more I am reading the more I am not liking it. You know when a book starts of slow but then it gets better, well it did'n't happen with this book. I could not get into this book. It got good reviews, but I am not enjoying it!! So I said forget that, I will read "Highlander In Her Dreams" by Allie Mackay. The same thing happen here, I said oh not again :-( I gave it more of a chance I read 7 chapters by this time I am pulling out my hairs LOL :)

Now I am going to try and read "Cry No More" by Linda Howard, I hope this one is a winner. I read "Unmasked" by Virginia Henley when it first came out but I never did finish it. Not because It wasn't good, in fact I did enjoy what I did read :-) I thought it would be my TBR Challenge. Wish me Luck with these two books.




I'M IN LOVE DON'T TELL HUBBY!! LOL :-)



HAPPY READING :-)

Reading Weekend

With Christmas, New Year, my husband and son being off at work I get all confuess on what day it is LOL :-) My Son will be at my Dad's until Sunday and if they don't work on Monday then I will go get him then. Hubby is not feeling well, and I am still having problems with my left ear being plugged, and my allgeries are not helping, it's driving me crazy we made a doctors appointment at 2:50pm.

I am already starting the New Year off bad!! I haven't been able to read, with me not feeling that great with my allgies, and doing this and that. We have no plans this weekend. I have always wonder how some people can get two or three books going on at the same time, I can barley get on book much less two three is pushing it for me. I did it with my last three reads, so I am going to try and do it again. I know as I go along I am going to tell myself what did I get myself into LOL.


We are waiting for the rain to come. Tonight my Spanish Soaps are going to be on :-) Boy I am I lucky and thankful for DVR. I also watch my Spanish Soaps durning the day, I know what your thinking where do I find time to watch all thsoe and when do I find time to read, and keep up with my house work. I have been doing it for so long now that I am use to it. The ones that I DVR in the morning sometimes I will fast forward them.


Well I am off to watch my Spanish Soaps and get ready to go to the doctors.


Happy Reading

NEWS YEARS DAY 2008

I hope everyone enjoyed there New Years, and enjoying spending time with there families and loved ones. This is the first year in a long time that I watched the Rose Parade the whole way through. I have always wanted to go to the Rose Parade, when I was younger I even wanted to help out. I bet the floats look really nice in person.

I enjoyed the seeing the Alhambra Float, I grew up there my dad still lives there. None of my Spanish Soaps were on how sad, at least I got some reading done. I have written reviews on the three books I read for Dec reads. I know three books, there were a lot more but I didn't keep track on them so I thought I would just start these 3. For 2007 my three favorite books, are "Kite Runner" "Water For Elephants" " The Pillars Of The Earth" three great books!!!


Happy Reading

My Dec 2007 Reads

The Pillars Of The Earth ~

WOW, WOW!!! If it wasn't for Oprah picking this for her book club pick, I would have never read it on my own, it's not something I would read. I am so grateful for her book club pick. I enjoyed most of the characters, except for two William and Alfred, I would get so mad the way he would treat his sister Martha and his stepbrother Jack, at times I didn't know who was worse, I wanted to strangle them both. I did enjoy the other characters, reading this book made me feel like a part of the family I could feel when they were happy and when they were sad. When I had finish reading it, I had to take it all in with a smile on my face, I could not stop thinking about them. Out of 1 to 5 stars I give this book 5 stars plus.

"When A Lady Misbehaves by Michelle Marcos

A friend of mine had mention this book to me she said it looks like it will be a good read, so I thought I would try it out. She also wanted to read it, but didn't know what to think, on how the story would start off where it would lead to or how it would finish. When I was done reading it, I had to thank my friend for kind of talking me into reading this book, I was not disappointed. I enjoyed April Jardine's Character, she had me laughing on the things she would get herself into, No wonder the title is called When A Lady Misbehaves, it suits her just fine. I fell in love with Reily. A good read out of 1 to 5 stars I give this book 4 stars.

"Mirror Image"
I loved this book. It's about two twins, they are exactly the same and in other ways there are totally opposite. Oliva, is the family type with a husband, kids and a white picket fence. Victoria on the other hand is the risky type she loves Adventure, Danger she is a spare of the moment kind of Women. It has been a long time that I have cried over a book, until now. It was such a heart warming and sad story, but with all that they go through it was an enjoyable book. Out of 1 to 5 stars I give this book 5 start plus.

LAST DAY OF 2007

I can't believe that this is the last day of the year 2007!! I haven't done very well on my reading in 2007 I have been lacking big time. I hope to change it for 2008, for me keeping a blog it will help me read more :-) I finish reading my books for 2007 I will write what I thought of them after the new year. I wanted to take this time to wish everyone A Safe And Happy New Year 2008
