Don’t you wish that you didn’t need to sleep, have to work, have daily responsibilities and just read 24/7 because there are just so many fantastic books that you want to delve into?  I know I do.  I was contacted by Ayelet from Simon and Schuster regarding today’s guest.  I read the synopsis and my first thought was FASCINATING and then I looked at my tbr pile and thought, I am just too far behind, but I wanted to hear more about this book, and share it with you.  So I invited Ayelet and the Author to visit.  It is with great pleasure to introduce you to and have NY Times Best Selling Author, Lisa Genova, here today!

In this powerful and poignant New York Times bestseller, Lisa Genova explores what can happen when we are forced to change our perception of everything around us. Left Neglected is an unforgettable story about finding abundance in the most difficult of circumstances, learning to pay attention to the details, and nourishing what truly matters.

My answer:
When I was a younger, I was able to stay up until 2-3am reading and the funny thing, which now that I think about it, it was when my boys were young.  One would think that I would need my sleep even more back then when I spent my days chasing after 2 little ones.  Now a days, my sleeping patterns have changed.  Take last night for example, I read until 10pm, because I just couldn’t put the galley that I am reading down, but that is late for me.  I would rather be up by 5:30-6am or I feel that the day has been wasted.  What about you?  Are you a night owl reader?

Something happened yesterday, that I DID NOT expect and I just had to share with you all!!  If you look on my sidebar, my current read is (was) Moonlight Rises by Vincent Zandri, a galley that is planned to be published in the fall and Vin entrusted me to read, which, for me, is a great honor.

If you follow this blog, you know by now that he is my favorite author, bypassing famous names, when he hooked me last year with Moonlight Falls.

Getting back to yesterday, can you tell how excited I am?  There in my email is another galley.  Yet, again, he has given me the honor to read and review his yet to be published novel.  As soon as I downloaded it to my Kindle, I started reading and could not put it down until my eyes just couldn’t stay opened and I read 50% of the book.  This new stand alone thriller, Scream Catcher, will be released in 10 days.
