My Next Read

THREE POSTS in one day?!?!?! DANG, I'm on a roll, hehe!!

Since I've finished Ricochet, which was a FABULOUS read... I chose to stick with Sandra Brown and am starting "Play Dirty". Just LOVE all of her books!!


Product Description

After five long years in federal prison, Griff Burkett is a free man. But the disgraced Cowboys quarterback can never return to life as he knew it before he was caught cheating.Foster Speakman and his wife Laura lived a charmed life before fate denied them the one thing they wanted most -- a child. Fresh out of prison and out of prospects, Griff agrees to do a job for the Speakmans that demands secrecy. But he soon finds himself once again in the spotlight of suspicion when an unsolved murder comes back to haunt him. While safeguarding his new enterprise, Griff must also protect those around him, especially Laura Speakman. Griff stands to gain the highest payoff he could ever imagine, but cashing in on it will require him to forfeit his only chance for redemption...and love.

So... has anyone read it?? If so, let me know what you thought!!

Recent Reading and Viewing Pleasures

We watch a lot of movies... well hubby does, and I halfway pay attention while I scrap. And I'm a BIG TIME bookworm... so I thought it would be fun to post randomly about different books and movies that I've enjoyed. Whatcha think?!?!

Just finished reading Ricochet by Sandra Brown... LOVED IT!! VERY good read!!
Synopsis: When Detective Sergeant Duncan Hatcher is summoned to the home of Judge Cato Laird in the middle of the night to investigate a fatal shooting, he knows that discretion and kid-glove treatment are the keys to staying in the judge's good graces and keeping his job. At first glance, the case appears open-and-shut: Elise, the judge's trophy wife, interrupted a burglary in progress and killed the intruder in self-defense. But Duncan is immediately suspicious of Elise's innocent act. His gut feeling is that her account of the shooting is only partially true--and it's the parts she's leaving out that bother him. Duncan investigates further and quickly finds his career, as well as his integrity, in jeopardy--because he can't deny his increasing attraction to Elise Laird, even if she is a married woman, a proven liar, and a murder suspect.--From publisher description.

I do love a good scary movie and this was a good one!! Pretty dang creepy!!!

Plot: An ex-cop and his family are the target of an evil force that is using mirrors as a gateway into their home.

And... I can't WAIT until LOST starts back up on Wednesday night, WOO-HOO!!! I am HOOKED on this show!!! Who's with me??

Oh, and if you happen to have any good book or movie recommendations, please comment away and let me know!!
