- The Executioner's Song
- What was she thinking: Notes on a Scandal
- The Monster of Florence
- The Gargoyle
- I read the first couple hundred chapter's of Wally Lambs The Hour I First Believed
Besides those I've finished:
- Merle's Door: Lessons of a Free Thinking Dog
About a man who adopts a stray dog while on a kayaking trip. It goes through the bond created between the owner and Merle is strengthened through the dog's ability to make his own decisions...and again another tear jerker. Why does every dog book take you to the ultimate end. I finished this book on the plane and cried like a baby...had to put it down to compose myself as Elmond watched me sop the tears up with my hoodie. HILARIOUS!
- The Case for Christ: The Student Edition
This is the shorter version of Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ. It's a really good book for everyone...if you're not sure about Christ or if you're already a Christian - there are things to learn. It's not preachy but simply presents the facts that a journalist goes through as he tries to discover how likely it is that Christ was real and also the Son of God. I will definitely read the whole book - not just the student edition but thats all the library had available at the time :)
- The Executioner's Song
I've been working on this book since December....its a big one - I think about 1100 pages...maybe 1500. I don't remember. Anyway its a true story that covers the first man to be executed in Utah after a number of years and how it affects himself and those around him. It's very interesting, I think I'm about 1/2 way through where he's been sentenced to death and doesn't want to appeal. Can't quite say whether I'd recommend it but its an intense read and always good to 'mix it up'.
- The Monster of Florence
Another true story. This about a journalist who moves his family to Florence Italy to write a book about murder. Well he ends up looking into the notorious monster of florence serial killer - sorta like jack the ripper of his day. Anyhoo...its a decent read. Not a page turner for me but since I started it - gotta finish it.
Once I read more into the other books I'll post some information about those. In the meantime - I no longer have to call in about jury duty service - yay.
Have a great Valentines Day everyone....
St. Valentine
Patron of Love, Young People, Happy Marriage
Valentine was a holy priest in Rome, who, with St. Marius and his family, assisted the martyrs in the persecution under Claudius II. He was apprehended, and sent by the emperor to the prefect of Rome, who, on finding all his promises to make him renounce his faith in effectual, commended him to be beaten with clubs, and afterwards, to be beheaded, which was executed on February 14, about the year 270
