Outstanding!

Michael Kortya has become one of my new guilty pleasures! Well.... his books are anyway. The latest was an amazing book. The fact that I can say that considering all of the high school football involved should tell you something. I don't love football. I know next to nothing about the game. The storyline about two brothers who have been torn apart since the death of their 15 year old sister 20 years ago drew me in. I came to enjoy the football somehow in the midst of it all! I absolutely recommend this one!

I am so cool right now!



Ha ha! So I joined Library Thing. Love it! They have a monthly chance to win a free advance copy of a book as long as you agree to review it. each month they post a list of what is available and you basically put your name in a hat and hope it gets pulled. I put in for a couple and OMG...... I won! I have here in my hand an advance copy of Fireproof by Alex Kava. WOOO HOOOOOO! It came straight from Doubleday by Fed Ex. Now I am totally feeling special.
So now I will read and then review this book by one of my favorite authors!
Here is a little excerpt provided to me by Doubleday to share. Fireproof-Excerpt

 Here is the review as posted on Library Thing:

I enjoyed this latest Maggie O'Dell book. Not so much for the mystery as it was pretty easy to figure out who done it! I did enjoy the characters and I am happy that Patrick was featured more in this book and a possible love interest was introduced for him. As for the storyline, the whole book is pretty much a red herring book for a future book in my opinion! Kind of an "oh look over here!!" while at the same time planting seeds for the next book which sounds like the better story. I just discovered Alex Kava about a year ago and zoomed through all of her other books so I am not complaining here and very much looking forward to seeing all of the characters back again soon! ( )
