"Game Six" by Mark Frost

Game Six by Mark Frost is an awesome book!  Being a die hard Red Sox fan, I just had to read this book.  It’s about the greatest World Series game ever played:  Boston vs. the Reds.  The whole book focus is on this game.  

What makes this book for me is the background on the players who played in this game.  The writing is superb!  It feels like you are right there.  I really enjoyed this book a lot and recommend it to any Red Sox fan.

"Two Little Girls In Blue" by Mary Higgins Clark

Two Little Girls In Blue by Mary Higgins Clark is gripping right from the start. It’s about Kathy and Kelly, a set of three-year-old twin girls being kidnapped for $8 million. The scheme is master minded by someone who is referred to as “The Pied Piper.” He had a brilliant plan in place and collected the ransom with no difficulty, making the FBI look like fools; however, one of his partners in crime decided to double cross him and changed the plan. An interesting part of Two Little Girls In Blue was the twins being able to communicate when separated.  This is a fast-paced page turner that I enjoyed very much!


I liked being “in” on the kidnapper’s actions all through the book and actually got to know them better than the parents of the girls. I must admit, I guessed wrong as to who the “Pied Piper” was. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good crime novel. This book is excellent!  I highly recommend it!

Gerard read this a long time ago and liked it too.  He told me then I should read it because it was so good, but I didn't because I read "Daddy's Little Girl" by this author and didn't care for it all that much.  I liked this one much better.

It Was A Dark & Stormy Night, Snoopy by Charles M. Schulz is one of the Very best about

Whatcha Reading Wednesday Aug. 4 Blog Hop

This is how "Whatcha Reading Wednesdays" works this week...

Type in the first two sentences of the fourth chapter of your current book.

If it is a spoiler at all be sure to put **Spoiler Alert** at the top of your comment (like if the selection announces the death of an integral character or something).

Here is mine for this week: 

Margaret Frawley folded her hands around the steaming cup of tea.  She was so cold.

I'm currently reading Two Little Girls in Blue by Mary Higgins Clark.  This is a very good book about Margaret's twin girls being kidnapped.   I'll have a review up by the end of this week!

No-Go BlogHer Blog Hop

1. Answer the questions on your blog and then link up that post in the Linky that will be available on both ToBeThode or Musings of a Marfan Mom. (you only need to link up once)
2. Grab the button for the No-Go BlogHer party (it’s on my right sidebar) and place it on your sidebar during the duration of the party.

Here are the questions we want you to answer:

1. When did you start blogging?

We just started this blog in June of this year.

2. Why did you start blogging?

I started our book blog here for the following reasons:

• I wanted to delete some pages on my Personal News Network (PNN) Zemeks’ Updates blog to free up more space there.
• I also felt since Blogger had the affiliation with Amazon, that it made more sense to have my book blog on Blogger and make use of the Amazon ads, hoping to earn a little extra money blogging. It was an easy way to link to Amazon and get the picture of the book in the post.
• I was kind of bored and wanted to try out the new design templates Blogger now has available because I like to switch things up now and then. I feel sort of locked into my custom design at my personal blog.
• I really like being able to use my own pictures in my header and change it from week to week.

3. What is one thing you are going to do this week that is WAY cooler than going to BlogHer?

Spend time with my husband and our pets.  May go to the Browns Family Day scrimmage at the stadium or perhaps just to the park with our dog.

4. Share a post that you think says a lot about you or is your favorite.
