Contentment Reading Challenge 2013 - February AND GIVEAWAY

Another month already? Where is the time going?

So, I read 4 books for the challenge this time!

• Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Down by Neta Jackson
• Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Real by Neta Jackson
• Masquerade by Jill Stengl, Pamela Griffin, Tamela Hancock Murray and Bonnie Blythe
• Novel Crimes by Pamela Griffin, Susan K Downs, Diann Hunt and Susan May Warren

Both of the books by Neta Jackson are ones that I read several years ago, but borrowed from the library so that I could read them again (the rest of the series won't be listed because I haven't read them before even though I'm borrowing them from the library).

The other 2 books are both compilations, and I have decided not to keep them. The books are good, but not ones I plan to read again. One has already been given away.

GIVE AWAY:
Novel Crimes is free to a good home, and I will post anywhere in Australia. I will send to the first person who comments that they want it.

2010 Reading Challenge - week 40

I had a much better week as far as finishing books goes. But then I was reading a series that I just couldn't put down.

6 books this week!

They were:

• Who Do I Lean On? by Neta Jackson (Yada Yada House of Hope #3)
• Deadlock by Al and Joanna Lacy (Return of the Stranger #2)
• Ekatrina by Susan K Downs and Susan May Warren (Heirs of Anton #1)
• Nadia by Susan K Downs and Susan May Warren (Heirs of Anton #2)
• Marina by Susan K Downs and Susan May Warren (Heirs of Anton #3)
• Oksana by Susan K Downs and Susan May Warren (Heirs of Anton #4)

This takes me to 143 out of 160 and 89%! Just 17 books until I reach my target.

I'm currently reading (or about to start):

• More Precious Than Silver by Joni Eareckson Tada
• Rise and Shine by Liz Curtis Higgs
• Becoming a Woman of Simplicity by Cynthia Heald
• Alaskan Summer by Marilou H Flinkman

Teaser Tuesdays - October 5

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Nadia by Susan K Downs and Susan May Warren (Heirs of Anton #2)

'She watched him steal back through the forest, where the traitorous guard waited for his payoff. Aranoff's wide shoulders hunched as he fought the rake of the cold wind, and she wondered if she'd chosen the right man when she married Michael Moore.'

This is a really interesting series. It's kind of written backwards - the first book is modern day and as the series progresses it goes back into the past a little further with each book. Plus the books are almost impossible to put down.
