A few items of business.....

First up: I have added to my 2012 book list. I have been listening to audiobooks while at work. I wanted to list them somewhere even though I'm not counting them in my official goal. They are under the 2012 tab above and will be listed below the books I have read.

Second: I finished another book two days ago. This one was Bookmarked for Death by Lorna Barrett. I wish I had read the first book before reading this one. I might have understood some things a little better. I can say that the police lady is someone you will love to hate! Good story line. Be prepared for lots of goose poop in this one!!!

Third: I have added a widget on the right side that connects to my goodreads.com list. You will notice I have included the audiobooks on that list. I think I might up my challenge number on that website to include all the audiobooks I will end up listening to. I know I will reach the 80 before the end of the year with all those books, but I really want to READ 80 books, not listen to them.

3 More Books!!

I finished another book last night! Fatal Fixer-Upper by Jennie Bentley. If you couldn't tell by now, I love mysteries! I also love goodreads.com! When I was reading the Scottish mysteries, I checked out my recommendations on goodreads.com to see what authors and books I might be interested in. I got a big list of authors I've never read and checked out a bunch of books at the library. So far, so good!

Fatal Fixer-Upper is about Avery, a textile designer living in NYC, who just inherited her aunt's home in Maine. She plans to sell it and get back to NYC and her boyfriend when she finds out it's worth a lot more than the offered price if she just puts a little work into it.

As she starts fixing things up with the help of handyman Derek, she uncovers clues that lead to a missing local professor and the fact that her aunt may have been murdered instead of dying from an accidental fall. Avery digs into the history of Marie Antoinette and the possibility of several of the queen's personal items that may be in Maine. This leads to a lot of problems and Avery gets threatened too.

Will she solve the mystery before it's too late? Read the book to find out what happens!

Good Reads

I love this website!

They have lots of giveaways for books. Ones that have been released and ones that are pre-release copies.

I signed up for a bunch last week and was surprised to get an advance copy of the book Storm Damage by Ed Kovacs. Now I just need to read it and post about it on the site.

If you are interested in free books, check out goodreads.com.
