Deep Blue
This is the one I had that got lost in bloggy land, so I'll post again...
Deep Blue by Suzanne McMinn is not the type of book I normally read. However, I did spot it in the store and picked it up.
Very good story! It's a romantic suspense. The hero, Cade, has the ability to stay underwater for long periods due to a chemical accident in his childhood. He meets our heroine, Sienna, through a case of mistaken identity, and together they face demons from the past as they race on a treasure hunt to literally save the world. It's set on the Keys - a perfect get-a-way for the winter blahs!
Good Girls Do
Well - I did have another post about a book I finished but it somehow disappeared, so I'll start with this one...
Good Girls Do by Cathie Linzj
This book is a great read! Once I started I couldn't put it down. Very fresh, funny and the dialogue is zingy. I laughed I cried - one of the best I've read in a while. Bad boy Luke comes to back to his hometown where he runs into the prim librarian - watch out!
She has a sequel -- can't wait for that one to come out!
So -- what have you in bloggy land been reading?

Ladies, If you were a teen in the 70s or 80s, you know what I'm talkin about
We must, we must, we must increase our bust.
That line is from a book read many times in my youth. Can you guess which one?
Highlight the text here to see which one, unless you want to keep guessing: Are you There God, It's Me Margaret.
I found it at the library yesterday and couldn't resist getting it! I must have read it a thousand times when I was younger (OK, maybe 850, no joke). One of Judy Blume's books, reading it again wasn't quite the same, but it was still entertaining. Somehow, I didn't focus on the whole religion part of the book when I was younger -- I guess it was more the other thing (guys, I'll spare you) that my 9 year old mind was worried about.
Anyway, I found an old diary from a few years back where I kept track of my books read in a year, I only had about 210 (mind you, this was right after I had Izzy, so the number seems a bit low.) This year, I'm trying it again, to see how many I can get. Of course, writing down the books so I can actually remember to count them is another thing. I'll keep you posted on my progess with mini book reports (Yes, I'm a book nerd!) I've already read several this year, but I can't remember all of the titles, so I'll start fresh from today.
