A few from my wishlist 2008-07-21 20:36:00 Every now and then I make a list of books to read and check them off as I go. Right now I am reading 2 from my list - The Fire Opal, by Catherine Asaro, and Reader and Raelynx, by Sharon Shinn. The Fire Opal started off a bit weak but is starting to really pull me in. This is a sort of separate little storyline from her previous 3 books set in the same world (see my post about the Misted Cliff Tri
The Host - completed 2008-07-12 17:10:00 I finished The Host a few nights ago. The book left me with tons of questions and I sure wouldn't mind seeing a sequel. That's not to say the ending left too many ends loose - just enough that a sequel would work, not so many it felt unfinished. The main character, Wanderer, is a real heroine in the story. Although she is supposed to of lived many lives on other worlds, she comes across as being v

The Host 2008-07-09 23:13:00 Been a while since I last posted - am happy to announce that I gave birth to a beautiful 8 lb 6 oz baby girl. She is gorgeous with tons of dark hair!! Now that I am up all night I have been hooked on The Host, by Stephanie Meyer. So far, am loving this book (halfway through). The Host is about a parasitic alien race that has taken over Earth - and inhabited the bodies of almost all the humans. Mel
Witchy women fishin' 2008-07-31 14:32:00 I'm almost ready to read the next book in the 3 sisters Island trilogy - I'm on book 2 - by Nora Roberts. These books take place on an island - fish is the dominant food. The mc in the first book is a cook and makes seafood chowder.Last week we went to Silver Lake up big Cottonwood Canyon. It was gorgeous. My 2 year old had great fun running around and we saw several people - including many childr
BREAKING DAWN - too many books! 2008-07-31 13:35:00 I have way too much stuff to read - see my post Fantasy Gems - I found most of the books on the list at my library and placed holds - needless to say the holds are in and I'm swamped. I'll probably be renewing some of my checkouts.I pre-ordered Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4) by Stephenie Meyer off amazon.com - yesterday they sent me an email I was very happy to read saying my book will
Meanderings and Wanderings... 2008-07-27 22:00:00 I finished The Fire Opal and Raelynx and Rider - both were very good, better than I expected. Now I'm taking a break. Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer comes out this Saturday and I can't wait. It's one of the few books I'm actually buying since I know hubby will want to read it and my sister's and who knows who else will end up borrowing it?Check out the tactical pants from LA Police gear, they ha
Fantasy Gems - Books I've overlooked that I'm hunting down 2008-07-22 15:40:00 These are books I've overlooked-mostly found by looking them up at the author's respective websites. I haven't read any of these yet.Sunshine – a vampire/armageddon type of book by one of my favorite authors – Robin McKinley. This book sounds very different than her usually feminist fantasy/fairy retelling offerings but I’m more than willing to give it a try.The Dark Mirror: Book One of the Read more:Books
