Books, Books, Books!

Hi All!

It is time for a look at my most recent reading!

First up is a two pack from Debbie Macomber which contains the novels: Ready for Romance and Ready for Marriage.


These two novels are great, easy reads full of fun. In the first, Jessica meets up with her teenage crush as an adult. The man, Evan's, family expects Jessica to help Evan get over a tragic heartbreak.

Jessica ends up working for Evan's family business where she is thrown together with both Evan and his big brother, Damian. Of course, things don't turn out exactly as the family expected!

As usual, Macomber delivers good romance with some fun twists.

The second novel revolved around Mary Jo, the woman who broke Evan's heart. She is from a working class family while Evan's family is wealthy. How can the two ever be together with such different backgrounds? To compound the problem, Evan has his sights set on politics and Mary Jo just knows she could never be a the kind of wife who would be an asset to a politician.

If you are in the mood for some light romance without torrid sex scenes, pick up Ready for Love by Debbie Macomber.

Next is a novel filled with suspense, revenge, and sisterhood by Fern Michaels, Lethal Justice. Apparently, this is one of a series of books by Fern Michaels revolving around a group of women called "The Sisterhood." While I haven't read any of the other books in the series, this book didn't require any prerequisite reading to enjoy.

The Sisterhood is formed of women who have been wronged in some way and who desire revenge. Each act of revenge is meticulously planned out in advance and the women remain anonymous in their vengeance. As the plan for revenge is plotted in this novel, there are several bumps in the trail. One bump involves two nosy reporters. Another bump involved the a reclusive billionaire who has retreated from reality at her estate in Spain.

As the women work through their plan and deal with the unexpected bumps, the reader is kept at the edge of her seat waiting anxiously to see what will happen to the women, the object of the revenge, and those unexpected "bumps."

This is another good read which zips along at a good pace and which is a fabulous read if you want to just sit back and relax with a good book.

Finally is a book from my stash of "Grandma's books." Death in Cyprus by M.M. Kaye is reminiscent of a good Agatha Christie mystery with a bit more "spice."

Amanda is on her first trip away from her strict and old fashioned guardian. She is visiting Cyprus, a world which, to her, seems filled with romance and fancy. Amanda's trip starts off on the wrong foot when, on the ship to Cyprus, a woman dies in her cabin! Certain that the woman was poisoned, Amanda enters a world of mystery, uncertainty, lies, and deceit.

Rooming with an eccentric old woman, Miss Moon, Amanda gets sucked into the mystery as her life is threatened because of what she knows or what someone thinks she knows.

This novel is full of many twists and turns which make the pages turn rapidly. While not a novel which is impossible to put down, it is one which you want to pick back up after just a little time. It is a fun read and the solution isn't quite what you would expect.

If you are looking for some good Spring Break reads, pick up one of these books.

Voice Update: Still doing well. Yesterday I wasn't feeling well and ended up sleeping most of the day so I didn't get a whole lot of massage or exercises done. Hopefully, today will be better!
