I Scream, You Scream by Wendy Lyn Watson

Isn't the cover yummy looking? I'll admit that it was the cover that drew me to this book. Yep, I'm a foodie and I pick the books I read by the cover, especially if there is food on the cover HAHAHA

Anywaaaaay, I picked this up before Christmas when I signed up for Book Chick City's mystery challenge. Yes, it's a mystery not a romance. And it was pretty good. Tally Jones is accused of killing her ex-husband's new girlfriend. So we follow Tally as she uncovers who murdered preppy Brittanie. We meet lots of people and find out little secrets about all of them. I think the secret that hurt the most is when she found out her high school sweetheart, who just moved back to town, had slept with Brittanie as well. It's probably irrational of me to think that hurt the most, but here's my reasoning....Tally already lost her husband to Brittanie and now she finds out Finn slept with her too? In fact, when Tally finds out this tidbit of info, she runs away from Finn. And I know exactly what she was feeling....why can't she have a man in her life that hadn't slept with slutty Brittanie? And the kicker is that Brittanie is like 24 while Finn and Tally are in their late 30's and the ex is a few years older than that! Yep, that broke my heart for Tally.

So, the killer is not who I expected it to be and I was a little disappointed by how we found out. Maybe I'm just not used to reading mystery novels. But all in all, I enjoyed the book and would read another one by this author. Oh! And there's a recipe for ice cream in the back! YUM!

Naked in Death by JD Robb

"I don't think I'm in love with you anymore, I know I am." Oh. my. gah. I am sooo in love with Roarke! Holy balls! Why did I wait so long to read this? (actually I listened) It's like an amazing episode of CSI or Law & Order or some show like that....not that I watch tv all that often, but yeah, Lt Eve Dallas would put those shows to shame! The crime solving portion of the book, which honestly was the majority of the book, was great. There was enough creep factor to the crime and the reasoning when you found out who it was that did it and why, but it wasn't so bad that you wanted to put it down. It just made me mad that I couldn't have killed the pervy old man myself. This is definitely a series I will continue. It may also just convert me to an audio book listener....as you may or may not know, my previous attempts at listening have not gone so well. But this kept my attention pretty well and I loved the voice characterization of Roa...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

August of Accomplishments

The Oxford definition for ACCOMPLISHMENT is "something that has been achieved successfully". I am claiming August as the Month of Accomplishments for my massive cross stitch WIP collection. My plan is to finish some of the WIPs that are close to being finished or that I have had in the WIP pile for a long time. Here's a look at my stitching spot...Notice the basket on the floor, it is full of WIPs. Notice the pile on the sofa, it's all WIPs. I have got to get some of these gone, especially since I LOVE starting new projects. So, am thinking I will work on Calvin and Trixie. I am sooooo close on this one. I even bought finishing fabric for it. I think I will try to complete the January SAL from Little House and Country Cottage Stitching Group on Facebook. The theme was winter. I bought finishing fabric for this too. I also want to finish up Seasons in Chalk: Stars and S...

Until Next Time...
