It's that simple.

I'm finally coming to the home stretch of this book. It's really good, but I had to stop reading for a bit to do blog tours. Now, I'm back for the rest. I've already done a 56 on this so I'm doing a 65...

About the Book

First Chapter Tuesdays/Teaser Tuesdays - June 23rd

Every Tuesday Diane at Bibliophile By the Sea hosts First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, where we share the first paragraph or (a few) of a book we are reading or thinking about reading soon. Care to join us?

If you'd like to play along on Teaser Tuesdays, just click the button above.


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I've already used my current read in this meme, so I'm choosing a book I plan to read this summer. It's book #2 in a "Sunny and Shadow Mystery Series". Shadow is the cat, Sunny is his human. The cat doesn't talk but we get to read what he's thinking about the humans. The first book was fun and I've been meaning to get around to the next one in the series. Hopefully, I'll stick to my schedule but we all know how that goes. Anyway, here it is...

I seem to be doing these book memes faster than I can actually read the books. I'm using one of my upcoming reads today, since I already used my current reads in previous weeks. I'm not big on memoirs but I do enjoy some celebrity and sports related (okay, Yankee related) books. Here it is...
