Beauty, Beast, and Belladonna by Maia Chance

Available 2/2/16 ~ I’m reading an advanced copy for an upcoming blog tour…

2. It was snowy, yes, but until the police came and went, she wouldn’t have a chance to break things off with Griffe. How could she simply sit still?

3. It would be fun to visit 1867 for a short time, but I wouldn’t want to stay there!

Now your turn – what are you currently reading?

1. Off the Books by Lucy Arlington

A Novel Idea Mystery, #5

I received an advanced copy for review from the author, but you can pick up your own copy on 2/2!

2. Page 34 only contains about 1/2 of a paragraph at the end of a chapter, but here goes…

So I simply shrugged and turned away, busying myself with gathering files and paperwork I’d need for the status meeting. Behind me, I heard the scurried clicking of claws against the hardwood floors, then a loud hiss and a sharp doggie yelp, followed by Bentley’s own form of barking: “Ms. Crump, get that cat into the break room now!”

3. Inspiration Valley North Carolina sounds like my kind of place, with all the southern charm you’d expect from a town in a cozy mystery. I’m sure it would be a great place to live.

1. Sweet Pepper Hero by J.J. Cook

Sweet Pepper Fire Brigade Mystery Book #4

2. When Eric had been there, the door had always been open for her when she got home and the porch light was on.

She realized that she didn’t expect to see him anymore. He’d been gone so long, it almost seemed like a weird dream that he’d been there at all.

3. I think Sweet Pepper Tennessee sounds like a great place, if you overlook the murder and arson going on! 🙂 It’s also close to Sevierville and Pigeon Forge, which I love. Overall, yes, I would like to live there.

I’m part of the blog tour for this newly released cozy! Be sure to come back tomorrow to read more about it and enter a giveaway to win a paperback copy.

1. Crimson Shore by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

Agent Pendergast #15 – thanks to Kristi over at the Hidden Staircase blog for letting me know this one was available on NetGalley! This is one of my all-time favorite series.

2. “Please take care to park within the lines,” said Constance to the young man she had recruited to drive the car the length of town. He’d been gawking at the car while she stood there, wondering what to do, and she had offered to let him drive it. He had leapt at the chance. Only once he was in the car had she noticed he smelled like fish.

3. This installment in the Pendergast series takes place in a small coastal town in Massachusetts. Except for the nasty police chief, I don’t think I would mind living there.

Now how about you? What are you reading this Wednesday? Be sure to leave a link to your own post if you’ve done one!

What are you reading Wednesday – 10/7/15

What are you reading Wednesday – 10/7/15

Well, it looks like I completely missed Tuesday this week. I got distracted and never wrote my Top Ten list, and now it is Wednesday already. I’ll see if I can get back on track! 🙂 Before I get too far though, I want to stop and thank Sarah from Sarah’s Bookshelf – I won her book giveaway and received these in the mail yesterday!

Now back to WAYRW…..

What Are You Reading Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by It’s A Reading Thing. To participate, open the book you are currently reading to page 34 (or 34% in your ebook) and answer these three questions.

The Questions are:
1. What’s the name of your current read?

2. Go to page 34 in your book or 34% in your eBook and share a complete sentence. (or two!)

3. Would you like to live in the world that exists within your book? Why or why not?

Now for my answers this week…

1. Still reading my same books, but I have started a new audiobook – The Hidden Child by Camilla Läckberg.

2. Since it is an audiobook, I can’t give you a quote from page #34, but I can give you a quote from the book – “And it is always the victors who write the historical narrative.”. This is an opinion held by “Sweden’s Friends”, a Neo-Nazi group who believe that historians have painted a negative and unrealistic picture of the Nazi’s and the Holocaust, and that Sweden needs to make major policy changes.

3. This story shifts back and forth between present day Sweden, and WW2 era Sweden and Norway. I would not mind visiting or even spending time living in Sweden or Norway now, but if I had to travel into the past when there were Nazi’s about, then I would NOT want to live there!

So how about you? Leave a link to your own post or let me know what you are reading this week in the comments. (and if you’ve read any of the books in this series, I’d love to know what you thought of them!)
