21. Guilty Pleasures - Laurell K. Hamilton

First in her vampire hunter series. I tried to read this one, but gave in to the CD's once again so I could cross stitch and listen at the same time. I enjoy the CD's as there are sound effects in certain places, and I really like the narrator. Will be continuing the series. Read 28MAY10 - 2JUN10

19. Murder Takes the Cake - Gayle Trent

Read on my Kindle during my down time at 'Bagel Boy'. Took a while to read but it was ok. I could read more by this author, she had good characters and a fun plot. An easy read and glad I read it. Read 22JAN10 - 24MAY10

18. A Great Deliverance - Elizabeth George

I had really looked at reading this entire series, but after reading the first in the series, I won't be doing that. It wasn't a bad book by any means, just not as exciting as I'm used to. I own the paperback and just couldn't get into it, so I listened to it on CD. Read 21APR10 - 23MAY10

17. The Bone Thief - Jefferson Bass

I look forward to each one of these books and read them far too fast when I get my hands on them! Bass keeps the events real and unpredictable, a welcome change from some other mystery series. Read 21APR10 - 12MAY10.

16. Eye of the Red Tsar - Sam Eastland

This book, I would read again. I rarely do that, but the twists and turns kept me guessing. Just when I really thought I had things figured out, a new bubble of information would rise to the surface and I'd have to rethink it all. I thought the author did a wonderful job of intertwining Pekkala's history with the present time of the book, it was all relative. You really have to pay attention with this one, I truly enjoyed it and am most definitely planning to read the next in the series.

11. Born to Run - Christopher McDougal

When I first started reading reviews of this book on my Kindle, I thought I'd try a sample and see what all the excitement was about. I soon purchased the rest of the book and kept reading. I am trying to get myself into running, and this book may have done it. It wasn't only a great read, it was a motivating read. I have been plagued with knee injuries and plantar fascitis for several years now, and this book helped me understand why! I need to learn how to run properly! If you are a runner or want to be a runner, I would strongly suggest you read this book. It has definitely changed my attitude toward running.

10. Blind Eye - Stuart MacBride

I absolutely LOVE this author! The creativity of the crime scenes, and the vivid description of injuries makes me cringe! That's not too easy to do, and I enjoy every page of his books~can't wait for the next one!

9. Eat to Live - Joel Fuhrman

This was the first diet/health book that I've really read all the way through. The author makes several valid points, and notes several studies to support his points. I am not yet willing to go vegan, but I am now paying much closer attention to the food that I am eating, and making an effort to eat more raw fruits/veggies.
