Teaser Tuesdays - Break No Bones by Kathy Reichs
Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by the lovely MizB of Should Be Reading.
Here's how it works...
Grab your latest read, open it up and share two sentences from the page. Easy as that. Don't forget to link back to MizB and share the title and author of your book so others can add to their TBR (to be read) list if they wish.
Here's my teaser...
"They got me covering dead Indains?" No political correctness prize for this guy.
Happy reading

Something Dangerous ~ Penny Vincenzi
One of my goals this year is to read more books. You can read my reviews and learn where you can purchase any of the books I've read this year here...KB's Bookshelf.
Here's a bit of the blurb from the back cover...
It is 1928: the dizzy twenties are passing into the glamorous thirties, and the misery and horror of the First World War are far behind. But, as the twins move into adult life, against their glittering socail background the spectre of Nazi Germany, wearing its terrifyingly seductive face of success and prosperity, is growing. Gradually the twins' lives darken un unimaginable ways: Venitia finds herself humiliated and rejected in what promised to be a brilliant mariiaged; Adele is trapped in war- torn Paris with two tiny children. Then and only then do they find their own worth and what they are truly capable of.

This is the second book in a series of three. The characters are strong and the plot interesting. I love a girlie book which is set in past times. I find learning more about history through a novel much more interesting than reading a history book on the topic. I'm already over half way through the next book and it's fab.

Forgotten Faces - Jeannie Johnson
One of my goals this year is to read more books. You can read my reviews and learn where you can purchase any of the books I've read this year here...KB's Bookshelf.
Here's a bit of the blurb from the back cover...
Horatia Strong has every advantage - beauty, wealth and intelligence. But she has married a man who does not care for her. She longs for Tom's love but find herself making painful decisions - decisions which rock the foundations of their marriage. Britain is marching towards an industrial age and Bristol's trades are dissolving. Horatia's single-minded struggle to reserve the family empire leads her down some dangerous paths.
This book was given to me by a friend. It's probably not a book I would choose to buy for myself, the romance part was very predictable but I did enjoy reading about the era it was set in. I'm going to send it on to a friend and I'm hoping she will enjoy it too.

| My car full of books..it's a long story |
It took me a couple of chapters before I realised I'd read this one before. I kept reading though because I couldn't remember what happened in the end. Another blonde moment. Anyway, I'm glad I did because I enjoyed just as much the second time.
A young boy witnesses a murder, but who will find him first...the cops or the killer? It's another fast-paced thriller from Kellerman, with some very undesirable characters and an extremely believable heroine. Didn't enjoy it as much as his books from the Delaware series but still definitely worth a read

In other news...all is well here, it's really hot outside again. Whitesnake and I have just been on a trip to our District Court, last time we went it was quite scary but this time not so much. The lady we dealt with was lovely and very efficient. Also, her office had aircon which actually worked. I could have stayed in there all day. Righto, I'm outta here. Be good to each other.
See you tomorrow for Simply Delish...yikes, I better go find a recipe quick.

KB's Bookshelf - Survival Of The Fittest by Jonathan Kellerman
One of my goals this year is to read more books. Here's my first read of the year.
A book from the Alex Delaware series. I read a couple from the series earlier and loved them, this one was no exception. It's a fast-paced thriller, leading from a child's murder to a young scientist's suicide. Chilling, frightening but oh so good. I intend to read many more from this series.
What are you guys reading? I'm always on the look out for recommendations.
That's all from me today. See you tomorrow for Simply Delish.
