"The man's face, if one could call it that, was grotesquely deformed. The skin was a mass of twisted gray tissue, with no discernible nose, eyebrows, or ears, and his mouth, partially open to reveal pointed white teeth, was no more than a slit. But it was the eyes that froze Phil in place."~Hybrid by Brian O'Grady

The Priest's Graveyard
"I'm getting to that. When I asked him why he was in his socks, he said it was so he could tell if the grass was wet. When he saw me staring at his waist he looked down, stared at himself for a bit, then looked up at me with an impish grin that only Hall could do. 'Wow,' he said. 'I'm naked. You horny?'" ~pg 73 The Priest's Graveyard by Ted Dekker

I got this one for an upcoming Blog Tour (coming April 22nd). I get to start it tonight. I love Dekker and have been bouncing with excitement since I found out I got to be apart of the Blog Tour (my first *insert squeal here).

"Very good. Because a that's a you name over here. And that's a my name, Michael Caputo. Show me a where on this a license it says I gotta take you shit." My mother was silent. "Not on a top. Not underneath. Nowhere." ~Pat Cooper How Dare you say How Dare me! by Rich Herschlag and Steve Garrin


This is one of my review books and I have to tell you it's a riot. A great look at the life of a comedian's comedian. It chronicles the life and career start of what comedians call "A comedian's comedian" and his break into the biz.  Book review to follow soon.

I've enjoyed getting back into reading full steam. I am so far behind in my school work and I'm paying for it but there's a bit of mental deadness that I've aquired after semester after semster of classes and being a grown up. I'll get caught up but for now here's a few lines from my brain crack...my guilty pleasure.

This Side of the Grave (Night Huntress, Book 5)"Before we go, I gotta know: If mind-reading abilities are real, there's something else I wondered if fiction got right about vampires-""Ask me if I sparkle and I'll kill you where you stand," Bones cut him off with utmost seriousness ~ This Side of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost  page 82


I love this series. It's completely entertainment to me. Lots of humor. Lots of good relationships with real reactions not always the HEA variety, and lots of excellent story writing. Those who know her love her. Those who know her also love Cat & Bones as well Vlad mmm How can I put this? He's my real hero of the series. Just the right amount fiery personality to keep you on your toes. Yes, he's the good guy. If you like paranormal romance with good action, this is a great series to read.

I'm a little poky today getting my teaser up. I'm medicated and not ashamed of it. Mostly because I can breath for the first time in a week. Although the room is a little Alice in Wonderlandish with some really weird head games going on. How anyone could be a functioning drug addict is beyond me. Decongestants and antibiotics are more than I can handle. Just so you know, I have a viral Upper Respiratory Infection and apparently it's a nasty one. I seemed to have contracted it through my incision in my gum during my recent dental nightmare. Yay me once again. On any account I'm still working my way through Shutter Island. Awesome so far. I should finish it up tomorrow. I've never read this author but I foresee me digging for some more of his works. Not to graphic although the language can be a little strong but sparcly and it is well within context. Basically, when he uses it, it's for dramatic effect and it does fit.  Anywho, here's my TT: 
Shutter Island
"She said once that time is nothing to me but a series of bookmarks that I use to jump back and forth through the text of my life, returning again and again to the events that mark me, in the eyes of my more astute colleagues, as bearing all the charcteristics of the classic melancholic."~ Page 1 Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane

I'm really enjoying this book. As I said last week, I haven't seen the movie. I'm almost afraid to now. It's such a great read, I can't see how the movie can hold up to it.

Shutter Island


"A little? She used the exact same words Cawley used in some cases. When we asked what the topic was about in group, she paused and then she said 'anger management?' Like she wasn't sure. Like she was taking a quiz and she'd spent last night cramming."~Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane

This was a freebie book on Kindle but it's been a great read so far. I can't put my finger on what's going to happen. I didn't see the movie but those who have tell me if the book is anything like the movie, I'm in for a huge surprise at the end. I love books like this.

Communication Mosaics: An Introduction to the Field of Communication
"We might do well to heed wisdom offered by Mother Teresa shortly before here death in 1997. Here's an excerpt from Dan Rather's interview with Mother Teresa (Baily, 1998).

Rather: What do you say to God when you pray?
Mother Teresa: I listen
Rather: Well, what does God say?
Mother Teresa: He listens.

~Communication Mosaics by Julia T. Wood

I'm still submerged in acedemia right now so you get a teaser of my Communications book. I really like it though. I'm learning more of listening than talking. I'm finding it very beneficial as a mom of teens. ha! ha! It's amazing what we miss when we think we're listening when in reality we're usually just waiting for our turn to talk. Quite insightful.
