Summer Reading

CONGRATS to Prince William and his wife Catherine on the birth of their son. What a lovely way to distract from what my UK friends tell me is an almost unbearable heat wave there.

Course it's no slouch weather here, either, with thunderstorms and heat and humidity--all the things that make Summer Summer :)

And the best way to distract from the feeling the air is a hot wet blanket wrapping around you or when the whole sky lights with jagged streaks and the boom of thunder rattles doors and windows (and nerves) is to READ READ READ (with loads of cold water, iced tea or ice cream-- or all three).

Stephen King has a sequel to 'The Shinning' coming soon. Not sure I can read it, if it's like the first. I didn't sleep for days after reading that one and I admit I still often jump at noises in hotel rooms. The Jack N. movie version cemented him, in my mind, for all time as the best actor to play an insane deranged person.

We all know the best books are those we fall in love with, either through the plot or the characters or both. Be it Romance, Horror, Mystery, History, Fantasy or Paranormal I want to love them all.  I should start a monthly book dedication-- Best and Worst. Of course, it would be my opinion only, and my tastes vary greatly from others. But it's definitely an idea spinning around in the back of my mind.

 And speaking of books. . . my hard working editor is hard at work on mine, and I should have a firm release date for everyone soon. Kylie and her Master have become very dear to me and I hope they will to you, as well.

Grab a book, some ice cream and read away the Summer heat. It's not long until Fall!
