What are you reading?

I'm doing something I don't usually do and have had a hard time comprehending how people do. I'm reading two stories at the same time. Don't ask how, but I'm doing it.

I'm awaiting on my book that I had won from Steve's NO BULL blog back last month and had run out of things to read. I had just finished reading Sylvia Dickey Smith's Deadly Sins Deadly Secrets (which I owe her a book review on) and so had cleared out my TBR pile.

I had inquired to Steve when he thought my book would arrive since I was out of things to read and usually like to get some reading in before turning off the light. So he offered me his manuscript to read. So far, I've been intrigued. Dream War is an espionage/spy thriller novel that started with a great first chapter. I printed it off and started reading (have read 3 chapters and the prologue so far, just printed out chapters 4 through 6).

Now if that isn't enough - lol - I printed off Lea Shizas's Rock of Realm to read since I was supposed to read it and review it for Lea's blog book tour. I tried to print like book format (front and back pages) but my printer kept screwing up. I gave up after having half the book printed (odd pages printed) but then I went back and just tried printing in smaller batches of the even pages and I think I finally got the whole thing printed out. So I started reading it the same night or the next night after starting Steve's.

So needless to say, I'm reading two books at the same time and enjoying both of them equally. Whoda thunk? I could multitask in my reading, especially since I really like to savor a book before moving on. Review of Sylvia's book to follow as well as a review of Lea's hopefully before too long. See you all in the postings - E :)

Winner - again!!!!!!!!

Steve Prosapio over at No Bull is hosting a blog tour fest this month. Every Wednesday, he has an author interview posted and if you stop by and leave a message your name will go in the drawing for the guest author's book or whatever the author is giving away. This past Wednesday, he hosted Geoffrey Edwards, author of Fire Bell in the Night, a historical novel. It was a very fun interview in that Steve gave it an actual feel of being there with the person. Stop on over and check it out and for a copy of the book, you can check it out at amazon.com.

Next week, Steve is hosting Dana Fredsti, author of Murder For Hire: The Peruvian Pigeon. I have a copy of her book and it is an excellent fun read. So stop Steve's blog on Wednesday and leave a comment to go in the drawing for a copy of the book. I'll probably read the interview and may leave a comment but will ask that I don't go in the drawing for the prize since I've got a copy already (and Dana owes me a signed book plate to go in the front of mine). Anyway - see you all in the postings - E :)
