My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Loved it! Can't wait to read the next!
DESCRIPTION
Werewolves can be dangerous if you get in their way, but they'll leave you alone if you are careful. They are very good at hiding their natures from the human population, but I'm not human. I know them when I meet them, and they know me, too.
Mercy Thompson's sexy next-door neighbor is a werewolf.
She's tinkering with a VW bus at her mechanic shop that happens to belong to a vampire.
But then, Mercy Thompson is not exactly normal herself ... and her connection to the world of things that go bump in the night is about to get her into a whole lot of trouble.

Book Giveaway: Shiver & Linger by Maggie Stiefvater, click here!
About Shiver:
For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human... until the cold makes him shift back again.
Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human—or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.
About Linger:
This is the story of a boy who used to be a wolf and a girl who was becoming one.
Just a few months ago, it was Sam who was the mythical creature. His was the disease we couldn't cure. His was the good-bye that meant the most. He had the body that was a mystery, too strange and wonderful and terrifying to comprehend.
But now it is spring. With the heat, the remaining wolves will soon be falling out of their wolf pelts and back into their human bodies. Sam stays Sam, and Cole stays Cole, and it's only me who's not firmly in my own skin.
Another day gone...:( Was sunny all day! Work was pretty hectic but now I am home and can relax..:) My cats are lounging in the sun and I am going to get started with my book. The book I am reading now is Every Which Way But Dead by Kim Harrison. I read it a few years back but I wanted to read the series in order so now I have finally made it to book 3...:) I have also been reading Secrets of the Tudor Court by D.L. Bogdan on my Kindle. I love anything that is written about the Tudors. Such an interesting period of time! Well better get to reading!
Nefertiti by Michelle Moran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved reading about Egypt and the pharaohs. The only thing was that I thought this book was about Nefertiti but really it was about her sister Mutnodjmet. It wasn't a horrible book but I wanted to read it from Nefertiti's point a view. But I still gave it 4 out of 5 stars because it kept my attention throughout the book.

Well, this is the first time I have ever done this....I thought I would give it a try..:) Yesterday I worked on more of my family tree...I am already back to the 1700's! We also went fishing later in the afternoon. Troy caught a sunny and I caught a small northern. Had time to read some more of my book. Right now I am reading Nefertiti. We then went out to his brother campsite and sat around the fire for awhile. Very nice night with a slight breeze. It did sprinkle for about 2 minutes.
