Ah, technology. I'm turning on the comments hopefully!

Jennifer Cruise and Bob Mayer's Don't Look Down

The latest thing I have read is the new Jennifer Cruise and Bob Mayer collaboration. Their Don't Look Down is a fun fast read. If you have not read Jennifer Cruise - where have you been? This author is one of the best authors with a sense of humor and fun out there. I can't do Oprah angst. This is much better. If I want angst I watch/read the news.
These authors are touring together and are coming next week in Deerfield, Illinois on May 1st at Borders Books and Music.

Check out her or their website for more info. I am gonna try and make it to their reading/signing. I met her once at a Book Expo and she was great fun. Not to mention they have a very funny blog on their website called He wrote/She wrote that is worth reading.

Check it out.

I have not yet finished reading Frances Mayes' A Year in the World but the woman has me thinking about going to Portugal. I have never really thought about going to Portugal - but her writing make it seem like a wonderous place... more when finished.

What I read - the good, the bad, and the so so...

Okay - Here we go. This is different way to suggest reads to my friends and the world at large. Let me first explain - that I read a bit of almost everything. Frothy romances, and footnoted history tomes and Harry Potter in between. Depends on the mood, the moon, and whatever catches my fancy. There are guilty reads and "majorly established and reviewed books" in here. So if it does not catch your fancy - wait and it might.
Read responsibly.
