Since this is a community on blogging about books I was wondering what everyone is currently reading and blogging about. I love to find new authors and books that others are reading and loving, so I'll start with what I'm currently reading.
I'm currently reading Promise of the Rose by Brenda Joyce.
ok moved on to another book (yes i do read a lot usually have 2 or 3 on the go) have restarted reading Philip Jose Farmers Riverworld series To Your Scattered Bodies Go.
I'm reading The Sky Took Him by Donis Casey, a mystery set in Enid, Oklahoma in 1915. The debut party for Casey's book is next Friday at The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, AZ, and I want to have the book finished by then.

Hello, Phoebe!
Two years ago, I read a novellete, Memoir of The House, a story told by a house in the Rockies, written by Devon St. Claire.. This wee book inspired me to change my life!
Then I just found its sequel, Shadow Women, Emerging into Light. It is the story of the traveling of a book (Memoir) several hundreds of miles from Portland, OR to a mountain home in Invermere, BC, where the readers become observers then active participants in the life of the House....And ultimately, their personal stories reveal everyone's hopes and dreams, They are blessed with understanding and caring---the 'gift' that God offers when we are in harmony with His design.
Hawthorne strikes me as very modern in his tone even if the plot is set in the colonial era. His most contemporary feeling novel though is The Marble Faun which is set in Italy.
