#ThanksgivingEve #AmReading With a Million Things to Do!

My house is a mess. I haven't gone to the grocery store...haven't even made my list for Black Friday. But I'm escaping into books. While I'm writing, I don't usually pick up a book. I'm so engrossed in my story, but in this inbetween time, I read and even keep up with what's going on around me.

A couple of things before I tell you what I'm reading. I don't watch #DancingWiththeStars, but I do listen to the radio and Bobby Bones (101.7 Boston). People shouldn't wonder why he won. He seems like a great guy...truly. I think what I like about him most is his compassion and desire to help others. So for anyone upset that Bobby Bones won the Mirror Ball, get a grip. Do you really think its a dancing competition? It's entertainment, pulling celebrities out of their comfort zone. There is no need to say ugly things. Bobby Bones didn't do anything wrong...matter of fact, I think he did an awesome job! There are so many other things to worry about in this world...give the guy his moment.

Now, I come to last night's The Voice. I'm always rooting for Blake's team, but last night I was totally surprised by Tyke being elimanted on Adam's team. I voted for him...even tweeted on the save vote.  Disappointing, but I'm glad that Lynnea has another chance to build her fan base. Everyone loves an underdog. I do have a few other favorites, Kirk Jay, Kennedy Holmes, and Chevel Sheperd.

As for the books I have set to read, I was looking for someone different. So, I did what I always do when I'm searching for a great read. I went to BookBub and picked up four books this morning. I'm confident in two of the reads. I read their books all the time, Brenda Novak and Tess Gerritsen. Brenda, I've met before. Lovely lady. She does a lot of work for diabetes, not to mention a great writer. The other two, I'm anxious to read...I don't think I'm going to be getting a lot of work done.

The links that I'm sending you to today is BOOKBUB. I love BookBub. The great thing about BookBub is that you can follow your favorite authors and they will let you know when they have a new deal, new release or upcoming release, like my penname, Colleen Connally, or Jerri Hines. I follow a ton of authors myself...
