And…here we go!
1. When it’s quiet, I love listening to the sounds of nature outside my windows.
2. Some winter days appear to be, in what seems like a month.
3. My heart is beating, thank goodness!!!
4. Hope I read more books in July.
5. In the town where I was born, there was a tv show named for it and was the setting for.
6. Doing kind gestures for me is something I really love about my significant other / friend.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to my son coming home from out of state, tomorrow my plans include computer to-do lists, spending time with the family and Sunday, I want to hang out by the pool with the family!

Today’s Topic:
Name a book or author that you truly wanted to love but left you disappointed. (And, of course, explain why.)
My Response:
A hard question this week.  Off hand I can only think of 3 answers.  One being Carol Higgins Clark, I tried reading one of her books years ago, thinking her books would be similar to her mother’s, but remember being quite disappointed.  So much so that I never did finish the book.  Two, recently I tried reading Nancy Grace’s Eleventh Victim, especially with all the hype, got it from the library and another one I set aside.  And third,  would be any book that I start, read 1/3 into it and have to put it down.

Another month is coming to a close.  Time sure does go by fast.  And its that time for the month’s progress report.  I am quite pleased at how I did for June.  Am definitely making a small dent in my “Review Reading Schedule” but received a lot of books in June so my pile is still standing tall.  I hope July will be another good month for reading!!!  Also in July, there will be more giveaways, so check back often !!!
