Not enough hours in one day

Ok, 3 kids, husband working a lot, lots of things to do...
Reviewing isn't on my to do list very high...

But still...
I try to keep reading and I wanted to let you know how I felt about books (short)

Lara Adrian
: super!! If you like paranormal, give her a try
Christina Dodd: great series also! I don't really like her historicals, but Darkness Chosen is wonderful
Julianne MacLean: read it in one evening! Great, smooth reading story! If you like her, you should have read this one by now... If not, what are you waiting for :-))
JR Ward: read it with an open mind, then once again this is a book worth your time... And don't forget... follow where the author leads you...
Gaelen Foley: Her Secret Fantasy disappointed me... I'm used to a very high level when I pick up her books, and this one just didn't do it for me... On the other hand she closes her Spice Trilogy with a bang, for I did love Her Every Pleasure
Alexandra Ivy: first book is very promising, recommended!!!
Alexandra Benedict: I have been looking forward to this book... I enjoyed it... Untill the end... It seems as if she tried to get 50 pag into one chapter... It ended rushed and left me unsatisfied...
Sherrilyn Kenyon: signed sealed delivered!!!!! Acheron is wonderful...
Shannon Drake: vampire series well worth the buy and time and... just get them ...
Laura Lee Guhrke: nice, but I wouldn't say rush out and get it... just nice in between read...

Unleash your story

When I was checking out Eve Silver's blog, I read about this charity program and I wanted all of you to know...

"I'm part of a group of authors who have planned an event we're calling: Unleash Your Story: Make a Difference. This fun event will bring writers and readers together to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). Cystic Fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease in the U.S. Thirty years ago life expectancy for a child born with CF was only five, but through the efforts of the CFF and others, life expectancy and quality of life has increased dramatically. We hope through our fund-raiser to help the CFF continue these efforts and to someday soon find a cure!

Our event, Unleash Your Story and Make A Difference, is targeted at both readers and writers. There will be fun contests and prizes to see who can rack up the highest pages read (for readers), word counts (for writers), and funds raised. Plus writers can track their own productivity by trying to keep up with our Pacesetter Author, New York Times Bestselling Author, Debbie Macomber.

We are hoping you will consider joining in our efforts by doing one or more of the following:
•Start your own team. Read/write on your own or form a team with your friends to raise money, read books, complete your work-in-progress, and win prizes together.
•Donate individually, and ask others to support you. Through the CFF web site every participant will get their own personal web page where people can donate in that participant' s name. (All donations are tax deductable.) And, of course, win prizes.
•Donate a prize for us to give away to teams or individuals. We are looking for anything and everything readers or writers might enjoy—books, critiques, get-aways, lunch with an author/agent/editor, crafts by you—you name it! (Again whatever you donate is tax deductable and you will receive a receipt from the CFF)
• Motivate your fans to read more and write more by posting your progress and participation on your personal web site or blog.

We're really hoping you will consider joining our efforts. We think it will be a fun way to help others live longer, more enjoyable lives. For more information email info@unleashyourstory.com or visit our web site at http://www.unleashyourstory.com"




Support my efforts!

I'll definitely see what I can do and perhaps make a donation!! So you guys check this site out and spread the word!!!!!!!!!!!
