Books and Sox

Remember I told you I would bring you up-to-date on my Florida reading material....and you may have noticed I haven't done it yet...well...

...here we go.  The Lucifer Code is a take-off from the De Vinci Code by Dan Brown - a rather famous book and movie.  But don't let that keep you from reading it....it was a good, fast-paced book - I enjoyed it.  Dean Koontz always writes good books - you just can't go wrong if you like your reading on the spooky side.  61 Hours is another of the Jack Reacher series (which I am currently hooked on) by Lee Child.......another gripping read.  Then....

...there were three more.  The Memory Collector is written by an author unknown to me.  It was a good story - but not good enough to send me back to the book store for more.  James Patterson is a well-known entity to me and Poppa.  I believe he is Poppa's favourite author - in most part because it was his Maximum Ride series that really got Poppa into reading in the first place.  This book wasn't disappointing either - you might think twice about all those electronic toys when you are finished!  Then another Dean Koontz - this one mixed science with the supernatural in a little romance.  Then....

...oh!  Imagine that - another Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child - what?  I told you I was currently addicted to this series - didn't I?  Another excellent read!  Then - for Poppa, I bought another James Patterson.  I actually really enjoyed this one.  There is a sequel out now in hardcover - and I am awaiting the release of the paperback so I can afford to buy it!  What?  I don't read too much!  I have also gotten lots of knitting done....

 .....here's a peek at the next giveaway collection....Taffy is working on another pair right now.  Besides I'm on vacation - so it's OK!  Right?  What am I reading right now???  Before I show you, I have to explain...........unfortunately and sadly, I neglected to pack all my pretty bookmarks - sigh.  I couldn't find any that I liked well enough to pay a ridiculous price for - so one day at Michael's I found a package of 25 bookmarks intended for teachers to hand out to young students - and they were only $1.50US ....now you've been warned....can you guess?

You're right!  Another Jack Reacher novel.  There are 16 books in this series to date, and there are eight more that I haven't read yet.  Two of them are sitting on the dresser waiting for me to get to them!  Have I mentioned that I am addicted to this series right now???

Speaking of socks.  Gramma got her crazy socks....."Then I just came back from the mailbox and inside I found a package with your crazy socks.....they are just splendid and I love the colours and patterns....I think they may be my favourite pair yet!!!"  Hee!  I live for comments like this!  Especially this round, since these socks were really bizarre!  Mommy got hers too......"Oh yeah…I got socks". Hey - she's my kid - she's used to these socks - been getting them for years!  And, Aunt Grumpy also received her new crazy socks.........."Received my wonderful socks yesterday. It was Family Day and I was off, but my poor mailman had to work because it is a provincial holiday."  So far, so good!
