Since I like to have an audio book going at all times lately, here’s this weekend’s read:
From the jacket: Honey Santana- impassioned, willful, possibly bipolar, self-proclaimed “queen of lost causes”–has a scheme to help rid the worlod of irresponsibility, indifference, and dinnertime sales calls…..


Current Read: Banana Heart Summer

I’m not sure why I picked this up other than the fact that it was in the new book section at the library and caught my eye and I figured it would be a good, small purse book for those times when I’ve got a few moments to kill.
From the Jacket:  Twelve-year-old Nenita is hungry [...]


Current Read: The Lucky One

Since it’s my last day of February vacation, I picked a quickie that I probably will finish in a day. Nicholas Sparks fits the bill. My sister-in-law is a book club subscriber so she always sends the Sparks and Patterson books my way. I’ve read all of his and this one is the latest.
From the [...]

Today’s audio book is The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards. I’ve never read her but the title caught my eye while looking for a new batch of audio books. (Unfortunately, my local library has TONS of Books on Tape but their CD collection is considerably smaller but growing. I need to get the CD [...]


Current Read: Tallgrass

This has been the week for audio books!  I’m finding that I’m better able to endure cardio at the gym with a book over music or TV.  Today’s listen is Tallgrass by Sandra Dallas. I’ve never read her or heard of the book but the cover caught my eye when I was at the library [...]


Today’s Read: A Painted House

Before I even got a chance to post my “current read” I finished it!  I uploaded John Grisham’s The Painted House to my iPod and started it at the gym today and listened most of the day while working around the house. I just finished it now, while knitting and enjoying some tea. It was [...]

I LOVE school vacation week!  I’m starting my 3rd read of the week and it’s not even half over yet.   Kelsea came home with The Shack by William P. Young, that she got from her boss to read after she finished it and since it’s just sitting there calling to me, I picked [...]

Teaser Tuesday asks you to:

I finished Blessings while on the elliptical at the gym this morning so I was able to start Ya-Ya’s in Bloom by Rebecca Wells on audio book today.  My podcast listening is going to fall off this week but it’s a nice way to catch up on my TBR list. I used to listen to [...]
