On The Horizon...

There are far too many books on my shelves that I want to read and far too many books on my Kindle that I want to read.  I love my new Kindle 3 because I formerly owned the dinosaur Kindle called Kindle 1...loved it but all of my books were clumped together and it was really hard to know which ones I had already read...mostly due to the fact that I have this annoying habit of needing my Kindle books to all be on the front cover of the book...just like books on a shelf...closed and filed neatly away.  But...to my delight...with my new Kindle I can make collections...neat and tidy and amazing collections...and all of my unread books are in their own collection and any book I am totally finished with is neatly archived...and laid to rest...sort of like a cozy little book heaven. 

So...even though I have enough books to read for a very long time...I am still buying those books that just sort of pop up with a ton of buzz surrounding them...that leads me to these books...



“A rare literary page-turner full of shocking discoveries and twists. Susan Henderson has created a remarkable narrator—as memorable for her feistiness as for her tenderness. Up From the Blue is going to be one of this year’s major debuts.” (Josh Kilmer-Purcell, author of I Am Not Myself These Days )

 

 
 
 
 
A Scattered Life by Karen McQuestion...for some reason this has been $2.99 on Amazon's Kindle for the longest time...
  There is a fabulous review by Carlolyn Parkhurst on Amazon's site.










I have read that this is mesmerizing...I am only mad that it is not available for my Kindle yet.  And last...but just for now...





"A terrific thriller with piercing tension, chest-tightening adventure, and a one-of-a-kind heroine I’ve continued to think about long after finishing the last page. Taylor Stevens is a born storyteller. I couldn’t put THE INFORMATIONIST down."

—Michael Palmer, author of The Last Surgeon
