Now You See Her....

Well, I started this book Now You See Her by James Patterson yesterday afternoon.  Went to bed at 1 am, couldn't sleep thinking about the book.  Got up and finished the book at 4:45 am.  I couldn't put the book down.  It was very good!  This is a little of what it is about.

Nina Bloom was a successful lawyer and loving mother who would do anything to protect the life she built in New York.  She lied to everyone even her one daughter about her past.  But when an innocent man is framed for murder, she knows she can't let him pay for the real killer's crimes.
Something happened to Nina 19 years earlier when she was in Key West on Spring break.  Now years later, she risks everything to return to Florida and confront the murderous evil she fled.
Is was so good and a quick read.  I know you will enjoy it.

I guess I better start reading the book for our book club now.  There are so many good books out there that I am dying to read.  I will never get anything done around here!!
Enjoy the read.

            Have a great day!

Keeping busy!

Hello!  how is everyone doing?  One more day until the weekend, which I know everyone looks forward to. 
 I visited the library yesterday and wanted to get "The Help", all 200 copies were out!  I am number 64 on the list.  I may just have to buy a used copy from Amazon.

 My neighbor and I decided to start a book club for our little neighborhood.  I sent out an email yesterday and so far received 2 RSVP.  I think it will be fun to get together once a month.  I would like to start out reading The Help, and then maybe we can all go and see the movie.  I have never belonged to a book club.  I take it you all read the chosen book and get together and discuss it, and then choose a new book for the next month.

Of course we will have snacks as well.  I will have to come up with some diet snacks because everyone is on a diet around here.  Something healthy

Oh, I wanted to show you what I have been working on to keep busy, besides reading.

Aren't they the cutest flip flops ever!

 
I went to Old Navy and bought some flip flops and decided they needed some cuteness to them.  What do ya think?  Since I made a craft area in my office, I had everything I needed there.  I did purchase some more ribbon and jewels.

 I think they are cute for the summer.  Easy to slip on and run out, with a little style!

What is everyone doing this weekend?  Anything special?  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, even though it is going to be hot, hot, hot, stay cool!

Joined the Library...

OK, I finally joined the Library.  I kept telling myself I really need to join, so I did yesterday.  I haven't been in a library in forever!  They look the same.  I guess Libraries don't change much except for the computers they have added.  I did notice that it isn't as quiet as I remember.  People seem to be talking all over the place.  I thought when you were in a library you were supposed to speak in a whisper, if you had to talk at all.  I noticed that some people come to the library just to read the newspaper.  Some of the people on the computers were on Facebook, some were playing games.  As much as some things that change, some things stay the same.

I know many of you probably have Kindles or Ipads to read books on, but that can get expensive as well as buying books.  I think the library might be just the thing for me.  They even have book sales, bring a bag and fill it up for $5!  That should keep me busy for a while.

For some reason I seem to read more books in the summer.  Once the fall and winter comes along I never seem to be able to find the time to read as much.  Why is that?

When do you read?  Some people just read before bed.  I feel a little guilty to sit down during the day and take the time to read.  I feel like I should be doing something else around the house.  Why is that?  I realize you have little ones around you are busy every minute, bedtime may be the only quiet time that you get to read.  That is if you can keep your eyes open long enough, I do remember that. 

Let me know when you like to read, and if you use and buy books or kindles, or use libraries.

Have a wonderful weekend, looks like we are going to have some good weather until the Heat Wave starts next week!
