What I'm Reading 11/15/2010

My job is getting in the way of my leisure time. Don't you just hate when that happens??? I just haven't found the time to read as much as I've liked this fall. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving & Christmas Break. I plan on doing a ton of reading to finish up the year. In the past week and a half, I was able to finish The Twelfth Card by Jeffrey Deaver, One False Move by Harlan Coben, & Ice Cold by Tess Gerritsen.

Ice Cold was THE BEST book in the Rizzoli & Isles series. So good. I read the first 50% of the book in one night. It was suspenseful and genuinely scary. I was so creeped out -- the thought of being trapped in a snowstorm of an abandoned cult community where there may or may not still be people or there may or may not be reminisces of a mass suicide -- that is some freaky stuff. Great book. Highly recommend it if you are a murder mystery junky like myself.

One False Move w/ Myron Bolitar - always funny, always a good read.

Twelfth Card was also entertaining and had some good twists. I never go wrong with a Lincoln Rhyme novel.

I just started Faith Tango & Generation Kill. Faith Tango is an anti-legalistic view on devotions for couples. Generation Kill is the book we picked for book club months ago that I only started getting around to reading. It's a true account about a reporter who follows a group of recon marines in the Iraqi War. It's a long book and might take me a while to get to, but it's interesting so far. It's also really interesting to think back to 2002 when the war started, when we had a different president, and what was going on in my life. It's weird because I can remember sitting on a friend's sofa watching the coverage on TV on Free Rita's day. We were discussing why we thought the war was sad, but necessary. I can remember texting my husband (back then we were just friends) and commenting on it. So it's weird to be reading this book and seeing the attacks on Baghdad from their perspective. It's surreal.
