Jan 10: “Cutting
Edge” by Allison Brennan, third book in the FBI trilogy, a romantic suspense at
405 pages. Blurb from book: When security specialist Duke Rogan’s state-of-the-art
computer system fails at a controversial bio-tech firm, a raging inferno is
ignited and a grotesquely charred body is discovered in the aftermath. With an
extremist anti-technology group claiming responsibility, the case grows even
more complex when the victim’s autopsy unexpectedly reveals that he bled to
death. Heading the FBI’s domestic terrorism unit, Agent Nora English is
fiercely determined to track and stop a sadistic assassin. To ferret out the
truth, Duke joins forces with the Feds, despite Nora’s objections. But neither
can deny how well they work together as a team—or that the static between them
has turned to sparks. As pressure builds, the case abruptly turns personal as a
cunning killer targets Nora. She will have to trust her deepest instincts—and
take the ultimate risk—for the people she loves and the justice she believes
in. Suspense and romance. I’m such a junkie. Or maybe it's just her books. Regardless, I loved it.
It snowed here yesterday. About two inches. It was enough that
I actually had to shovel the driveway, which ended up being my only exercise
for the day (oh, and shivering while shoveling—it was so windy and cold out
there!). You see, I have decided that falling snow is a valid excuse not to go
to the fitness center.
Rain is not a valid excuse. Cold weather is not a valid
excuse. Snow on the ground is not a valid excuse. But if it’s currently falling
from the sky, it is. Why risk an accident? Because I don’t know how it is in
your neck of the woods, but our streets usually don’t get plowed until the
storm is almost finished. Especially my street (I live on a cul-de-sac).
And yes, I could have exercised later, except I don’t like
exercising in the afternoon. That’s my writing time (or I should say, that’s
when my creativity comes alive). I could also exercise at home, but if I did
that to begin with, then I never would have joined the fitness center. I
need to just win the PowerBall so hubby and I can move to a condo that has a
fitness center (and if they didn’t have all the equipment I wanted, I’d donate
the rest). Then I’d never have to worry about the weather!
Then again, we could just move somewhere warmer for the
winter. Hmmm…
So… What type of books are you a junkie about? And did you
play the PowerBall?
Happy Reading

I don't know that I'm a junkie for any particular type of book anymore. We had an inch or so of snow. Our street is a dinkie little town road that is also low on the plow priority. Our neighbor's son ran for highway superintendent a few years ago, but lost--if he had won, I bet our street would have been #1!
Jeff - Our street was never plowed, until a truck got stuck on it. And then the truck that came to unstick it got stuck (I witnessed it all ,too!). We get plowed now. Maybe not right away, but it happens.
