Winners and Your Turn FridayNovember 30, 2007 A big Beyond Her Book thank you to Margie Lawson for stopping by yesterday with her thought provoking Right brain/Left brain challenge and sticking around to answer every poster. You can still take the test and leave your comments. I'm sure Margie will be stopping by again. It was great fun and now for the winners of Margie's Lecture packages...drum roll please... Clea Simon and Gemma Halliday!! Please send Margie your snail mail address. November 30th...where has the time gone? 25 shopping days until Christmas, tree to put up, presents to wrap, cookies to bake, lists to make, or whatever your religious background demands of you this time of year. For other people anyway. I only have one thing to do...books to read. And since that's what I do the rest of the year anyway, the only change for me is hot cocoa replacing cold lemonade and an afghan instead of a fan.  This week I read Lost Girls by Robert Doherty aka Bob Mayer (brilliant and funny half of the team, who with the equally talented Jennifer Crusie brought us Don't Look Down and Agnes and the Hitman). When I met Bob a while ago, I was whining about the ending of Bodyguard of Lies, a book I really enjoyed until the last page. "What happened to Hannah?" I cried. "How could you leave me hanging like that?" He promptly told me "what happened" and when I asked him why he didn't put it in the book, he told me because it's in the next book, Lost Girls. Duh! I hadn't realized it was going to have a sequel, but suddenly it all made sense. I couldn't wait to dive in, but alas, there were piles before his. Well, finally this week I got to satisfy my craving and devoured this book. Young women are being abducted and when their connection is discovered ultra secret Cellar operative Major Jack Gant is sent in to work with profiler Susan Golden. A top level security cover up is in play and the clock is ticking for one lost girl still alive. This book is a heart thumper and the killings aren't sissy stuff, but I dare you to try to put this book down once you start reading. I plan to give a copy to my son (not something I can say about all the books I read) and another to my mom, who loves this stuff. So, now that you've checked to see if you won Margie's prize, stay and post what you've been reading for the week. Bottom Line: Yes, I did use my whole brain to write this blog. If you have problems posting, please sent your comment to me and I'll post for you. Posted by Barbara Vey on November 30, 2007 | Comments (19)

In response to: Winners and Your Turn Friday mary s commented: Thanks Barb for clearing up that lost feeling I had too, after finishing "Bodyguard of Lies" by Bob Doherty (Bob Mayer). I had to look to see if some pages were missing (not unlike the time I read a copy of "Catch 22" from the library on vacation & the middle 75 pgs. were missing--what happened to those flying missions?) I did finally fill in the blank pages. Always enjoy your blog!

In response to: Winners and Your Turn Friday Jana Oliver commented: I just finished Dancing With Werewolves by Carole Nelson Douglas. Liked it a lot. Deeper than the usual werewolf fare I've been reading as of late.

In response to: Winners and Your Turn Friday Deborah Macgillivray commented: Reading Lord of the Dark (Advance Reading Copy) by Dawn Thompson. This is the sequel to her hot summer hit, Lord of the Deep. She has two more Lords coming in 2009, Lord of the Forest and Lord of the Fire. Frankly, she cannot write the fast enough for me!!

In response to: Winners and Your Turn Friday LAUREL BRADLEY commented: I'm reading Michele Ann Young's NO REGRETS. Yum! Great historical with a curvy heroine and a hero who loves her and her curves. In fact, I'm going to log off to go finish it right now.

In response to: Winners and Your Turn Friday Jacquie Rogers commented: For my living room reading, I have The Privateer by Dawn MacTavish. For my family room reading, I'm about a quarter of the way through Riding the Thunder by Deborah Macgillivray, the second book in her Sisters of of Colford Hall series. Two good reads at one time!

In response to: Winners and Your Turn Friday Rowena Cherry commented: What a coincidence! I'm reading Laurel Bradley's A WISH IN TIME, too. Laurel was on an internetvoicesradio show I did all about authors who support charitable causes, talking about Infertility.

In response to: Winners and Your Turn Friday Barbara Vey commented: A lot of the books mentioned are on my TBR pile. I plan on tearing through it today with the snowstorm we're experiencing today.

In response to: Winners and Your Turn Friday Christy commented: Snowstorm, Barb??? I'm very jealous!!! But what a perfect reason to do nothing except sit inside by the fireplace and read in your pj's all day long!!!! I didn't actually finish reading anything this past week, but I am reading Taming Rafe by Suzanne Enoch. I don't know how S. Enoch has escaped me all these years!!! I'm really enjoying it. And congrats to the winners!

In response to: Winners and Your Turn Friday Daring Di commented: At the moment I'm reading two books--The Marsh Hawk by Dawn Thompson and The Grail King by Joy Nash. Terrific books, great for snuggle-down-on-a-cold-winter-day reading. I do so love Regencies and Dawn Thompson is a master Regency writer, and Joy's book--set in Britian during Roman Rule--is supurb.
December 5, 2007
In response to: Winners and Your Turn Friday Barbara Vey commented: Things are looking up, thanks for asking Daring Di. I did read the Grail King and enjoyed it, but I still need to start on Dawn. I've heard great things.

In response to: Winners and Your Turn Friday Diane DavisWhite commented: You will love Dawn's books! She is a supurb writer. I've started another book by Joy Nash, Deep Magic and of course, I've just finished Cat O' Nine Tales by Deborah MacGillivray. All wonderful reads!
