Mar 7: “The Girl and the Raven” by Pauline Gruber, a
paranormal young adult novel. Blurb from Goodreads: Sixteen-year-old Lucy Walker just wants a
normal life, until she learns she is half-witch, half-demon. Now she's got
other problems, like keeping her demon dad from killing her boyfriend, keeping
the witches in her life from killing her demon dad, and keeping her
non-supernatural friends safe from both sides. All the while she’s desperately
searching for the family raven that carries her magical legacy. She's walking a
tightrope between good and evil, drawn to both, uncertain which she will
ultimately choose. I’m beginning to think I shouldn’t read any more
YA books. I gave this 3 stars on Goodreads.
Mar 9: “Dangerous Affairs” by Nina Pierce, three erotic
romance novellas (“Blind Her With Bliss,” “Deceive Her With Desire,” and “Cheat
Her With Charm”). Blurb from back: Three sisters looking for love. Three men seeking
redemption. Three reckless romances that will push each of them into the
dangerous world of revenge. I enjoyed reading these stories
back-to-back. It was like reading one regular-sized book, with different little
stories of each sister, but a continuous story about the family. If not for the
wacked out ending in the last, I’d be giving this book top honors, instead it
gets 4 stars on Goodreads. Still, it was such a joy to read something I didn’t
have to struggle with.
Had lots of fun yesterday in the Los Angeles
What fun stuff are you doing today?
Happy reading!

Battening down for what I hope will be the winter's last gasp!
Laundry has to be done even on vacation. :le sigh:
We worked on the garden yesterday. Today I am treating myself to a good hairdresser.
I am doing laundry, bills and coupons. Then somewhere in here, I'll make some dough for homemade burger night.
Jeff - I hope that last gasp is gone before I return! :)
Maria - Yep, laundry. That's what I get when I don't want to check any bags! At least my parents have a washer & dryer.
Ivy - Bills, that's something I have to do when I return. And taxes. Ugh! Maybe I just won't think about them right now! :)
Taxes for us this weekend, ugh.
I'm glad you're enjoying Southern California. You're missing some ridiculous weather here.
LD - Yeah, I've heard about the weather. Hope it's all finished with by the time we get home on Sunday.
NOT walking around LA. To me, that city embodies, "A great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there."
Michael - Well, I didn't walk around LA, either. I did drive, which was more like crawl. Traffic was horrendous. Can't believe I used to live in that area!
