Top Ten Turn Offs

Review-The Clock of Life by Nancy Klann-Moren

Books Finished

I started reading The Rathbones, which I received through a Goodreads giveaway.  I really like the writing, but found I was struggling to continue reading.  Alas, I went to the library, and they had some lovely books on hold for me, so I put this aside and picked up a different book..Which leads me to-

Currently Reading

I am now reading The Dark Monk by Oliver Potzsch.  This is a sequel to a book I read and LOVED last year called The Hangman’s Daughter.  I had put a hold on it at my library.  Since I never know how quickly a book will come in, I was really excited to get it so quickly!  I am whipping through it as we speak.

I have lots of books waiting for me, so I will probably hit the library books that have a return date, and the ebooks that have a read by date.

Tough weekend- my son left to spend a month studying engineering in PA.  I will admit, there were tears-mine.  So, on to the books-I sound like a broken record when I say AGAIN, that I wasn’t that into reading that much this week. so, here is what happened-

The Prodigal by Michael Hurley

For 2,000 years, Christendom has believed that faith and penitence are the narrow gates through which all who seek heaven must pass, and that the church on Earth holds the key. What if a forgotten relic, hidden inside an abandoned ship thought to have been lost at sea more than a century ago, suddenly reappeared and cast doubt on that belief? Who would seek to use it? Who would seek to destroy it? And whose lives would it forever change? Aidan Sharpe, a disbarred and penniless lawyer trying to rebuild his life on Ocracoke Island, finds love and destiny as he seeks the answers to these questions.
