Tranquil Reader

Hello Everyone, This week of reading has gone alright. I had a bit of a busy week, and I was also participating in Bout of Books as well. Here are the reviews I've done: The Partner by John Grisham: Amazon:  Amazon Review - The Partner Goodreads:  Goodreads Review - The Partner Reader's Warehouse:  Reader's Warehouse Review - The Partner Currently I'm reading 'The ExtraOrdinary Life of Heather Manson' by Frances P. Webber, and will be doing a review for it hopefully this coming week. Last Word: I'm probably going to have to plan my review schedule again, since I've voluntarily signed up for one or two, and then have gotten another review request from an author, so it's been an interesting week in terms of getting reviews going again; which means I've put my leisure reading on the back burner - for now. It was certainly nice to get some paperback reading in again. There were days where I did some late night reading, th...

Hello everyone, This week of reading has been alright. One little bit of book related news that I'm excited to share with everyone is that I've signed up to become a reviewer for Reader's Warehouse. I'm hoping to have a review up there soon! Here is some reviews that I did of a book this past week: Safe Harbor by Heather Wardell: Amazon:  Amazon Review - Safe Harbor Goodreads:  Goodreads Review - Safe Harbor Here is my blog review of the book:  Blog Review - Safe Harbor Review reading is slowing down a little bit, which leads me to one or two other things I have to say in the... Last Word: And since review reading is slowing down, I'm able to do some leisure reading (YAY)!!! The book that I'm currently busy with is 'The Partner' by John Grisham. I absolutely love his books; if I could own all of his books in paperback, I would. Currently, I only own 'Sycamore Row' so far, though I have read a couple of others. Which...

My Copy of the Book Blurb: Celia's always thought she was just emotional. But when she witnesses a near-murder and finds herself feeling everything the victim feels, she wonders if she's losing her mind. There's only one place she feels peaceful: near her new coworker. He's just been left at the altar and he should be devastated but instead he's quiet. Calm. Too calm? Or could he be the safe harbor she desperately needs? About the Author: Heather came to writing after careers as a software developer and elementary school computer teacher and has no plans to leave it. In her spare time, she reads, runs, swims, crochets, takes care of her aquarium and her cat Trinity, and plays drums and clarinet. Generally not all at once. Heather is a natural 1200 wpm speed reader and the author of the currently fifteen novels in the "Toronto Collection" of loosely related women's fiction stories, as well as the three novels in the "Seven Exes...

Hello Everyone, So, another week of reading is done, and I've had quite a few pleasant surprises this past week (I'm hoping to post one of them next week, if I get the book done by then!).
