" Roni felt as if they were two strangers conversing. in spite of her having voiced interest in what was going on with him, he'd not reciprocated. How they were going to close the chasm between them and get back to the love they'd once shared was anyone's guess. There was no guessing about how much this was hurting her though. None." http://shouldbereading.wordpress.com

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

http://bookjourney.wordpress.com I finished one or two books this week, not sure. I definitely finished Rest in Pizza by Chris Cavender. It's a fun cozy. You can smell the pizza. Also finished Burned Out by Teresa Trent.  I'm reading another cozy for Socrates Cruisin' Through The Cozies. I signed up to read six. This one is E nglish Tea Murder by Leslie Meiers. I haven't finished The Prodigal by Derek Walcott. Oh, I'm starting Heart of Gold by Beverly Jenkins this evening. Can't wait. Ms. Jenkins books are always great Historical romances. Want to get back to Veronika Decides To Die by Paulo Coehlo. I have read The Prodigal by Walcott very slowly simply because it's such a beautiful poem. I don't know how he wrote such a tantalizingly descriptive poem. I can see the places. I might can't pronounce the names of the location, but I can see the places with my mind's eye. I borrowed this one from the library. I have to renew it again and aga

Rest In Pizza by Chris Cavender

At this very moment, I can smell pizza baking in a pizzzeria oven. Eleanor along with her sister, Maddy, own a pizzzeria. They're always busy because customers around town love their pizza. However, there are times when something more important happens like a murder. When a very grouchy, snippety chef comes to town to sign and share his new book at the Bookmark, it isn't long before murder comes to town too. The chef is found sitting in The Slice with a knife stuck in his chest. There is no question whether it's murder. The only question is whodunnit. Eleanor and Maddy get involved with the investigation whether Detective Kevin Hurley wants them to or not. As a matter of fact, they find strong evidence and clues. As sleuths, they're just too good. It almost felt like no one else was working the case. There aren't many suspects: Patrice, Cindy, Oliver, Jessie, Janet and Eleanor and Maddy. So, it's easy to keep up with who might have done the bad deed. Patric

Rest In Pizza Book Beginnings Friday 56

http://rosecityreader.com "A t first glance through the large front window of A Slice of Delight, it looked as though the person inside the pizzeria was simply sitting at a table in the dining area, waiting patiently for food to be delivered.But the pizzeria wasn't open yet and wouldn't be for hours.  A closer look revealed the chef's knife stuck all the way to its handle through the victim's chest, pinning the patron upright in place to the back of the chair, like a butterfly in a collector's cast.  The murder weapon, taken straight from the kitchen but never before used in such a grim and dreadful fashion, was one all too familiar to the owner of A Slice of Delight. There was no movement, no sound, no life surrounding the victim."  Rest In Pizza by Chris Cavender   My sister shook her head as she finished another bite. "You can give me all of the credit you want to, Eleanor, but you are the pizza guru around here." http://freda

Burnout by TERESA TRENT

Wednesday, June 4, 2014 Rocky runs the Pecan Bayou Gazette. Unfortunately, his building catches fire with him in it.  I felt pretty sad about Rocky, but Betsy and her husband, Leo, and two boys had enough problems going on that I didn't worry about Rocky. I just had fun. There is a lot of humor in this cozy. I had to laugh as Betsy used a pink boxed pregnancy test to show what it's like to live in a small town. I always thought living in a small town would be great. After all, I would know everybody and everybody would know me. Now, I'm not so sure about my reasoning. Betsy goes to the pharmacy to quickly and secretly buy a pregnancy test. Impossible. At least, it's impossible in Pecan Bayou, Texas. She switches the pregnancy test off to so many ladies just to get the box in her house  that it's like playing musical chairs with this boxed test. With all her secrecy one lady comes to her with a pink blanket for her soon coming baby girl. Well

The Cats That Surfed The Web by Karen Anne Golden

I enjoyed this cozy mystery so much. It's about a woman named Katherine. When she receives word of an inheritance from a great aunt for over forty million dollars, she finds herself leaving New York to live in Erie, Indiana for at least one year. If she doesn't live in her great aunt's huge Victorian mansion, she will forfeit the inheritance. So she take her three cats, Iris, Scout and Lilac and a friend named Colleen and heads for Erie. What happens there is shocking and bewildering. There is all sorts of murder and mayhem going on which drive her cats nuts. I never did figure out the solution to the mystery. However, I did love the solution. It made perfect sense. I am looking forward to another cozy mystery by Karen Anne Golden. By the way, there is a logical reason for the title The Cats That Surfed The Web.http://www.amazon.com/Karen-Anne-Golden Posted by Tea norman at 10:15 AM
