So I had to take books back to the library yesterday. both mine and my daughter Elizabeth’s. On the way I said to myself…”.You are not getting any books out of they library, you are already reading four or five books!” My response was fine, “well, how about if I only get out a book if I find something by somebody whose work I really love. like say Alex Kava!” I said this thinking I was safe because I know that Alex Kava’s books usually come out in the summer!!
When I arrived at the library and started to browse, I made it through the first shelf, which has all the new top books that are two-week loans. I went on to the next shelves, only to find someone in that row so I went to the end of the alphabet. At the letter S I found Locked In by John Scalzi. “Hey, you know I like this guy and want to read this one!” Maybe I’ll just get this one book…. and so it begins….
Ok, it’s back to the beginning of the alphabet – ok through the As, Bs, C, D.Es…maybe I get out with just one book and then came the Ks and there it was……NO!!! YES!!!
A new book from Alex Kava!!, Released in January??? What’s with that..Maggie doesn’t visit until the summer……from Amazon:
New York Times– and internationally bestselling author Alex Kava’s thrilling new series introducing Ryder Creed, ex-marine turned K9 search-and-rescue dog trainer as he teams up with fan-favorite FBI profiler Maggie O’Dell.
Ryder Creed and his dogs have been making national headlines. They’ve intercepted several major drug stashes being smuggled through Atlanta’s airport. But their newfound celebrity has also garnered some unwanted attention.
Ah-ha a NEW series, well you know I have to get this one!! And well, if I’m getting this one and John Scalzi, how about that one I saw back in the Gs – Green-Eyed Lady by Chuck Greaves (yeah I know it’s an author I don’t know, but an author I do know and read Douglas Preston says this about the book…….
“The wickedest read of the year: smart, real, vivid as hell. I loved this book.”..
I knew I couldn’t walk out without it and since I already had two books, what will one more hurt!! The good thing is that they are all FOUR week loans, so now I only have to get on the stick and read those four books that I have already started!!! Ok, I’m stopping now, I have to read some before it’s off to work at Target!!
