Flaherty's Crossing by Kaylin McFarren

OMG Ya'll Check out the trailer for an awesome book coming up on tour in February!  I can't wait to read it and tell you all about it! Synopsis: Successful yet emotionally stifled artist Kate Flaherty stands at the deathbed of her estranged father, conflicted by his morphine-induced confession exposing his part in her mother’s death. While racing home, Kate’s car mishap leads her to a soul-searching discussion with a lone diner employee, prompting Kate to confront the true reasons her marriage hangs in the balance. When her night takes an unexpected turn, however, she flees for her life, a life desperate for faith that can only be found through her ability to forgive.

 

Which to Keep, Which to Give?

Okay so I been wondering about how do ya'll decide which books to keep in your permanent collections and which books to swap, trade, give away, ect...

 

Obviously if you didn't like the book your probably gonna toss it or pass it on but what if it is part of a series you are collecting or want to collect?  Do you split up the set and only keep the ones you like?

 

Do you keep one genre and give away another?

 

Just out of curiosity....What are the determining factors in whether you keep, swap, or giveaway a book?

 

Bran Hambric: The Fairfield Curse

Has anyone read this yet? I think it will be on my next book buy venture.  lol

 

Bran Hambric was found locked in a bank vault at six years old, with no memory of his past. For years, he has lived with one of the bankers, wondering why he was left behind -- until one night, when he is fourteen, he is suddenly confronted by a maddened creature, speaking of Bran’s true past and trying to kidnap him.

Bran finds that he is at the center of a plot which started years before he was even born: the plot of a deadly curse his mother created…and one that her former masters are hunting for him to complete.

Haunted by the spirit of his mother’s master and living in a city where magic is illegal, Bran must undo the crimes of his past...before it is too late.

 

Thanksgiving Plans

Well folks Thanksgiving is almost upon us.  Are ya like me and can almost taste that juicy turkey, smell those candied yams, and dream of dressing with giblet gravy yet?  YUM YUM YUM  To some that may sound dumb but this is the only time of the year we really eat these dishes thus making them extra special when we do.

 

We always go to my folks house and my sister and I always take covered dishes as well and we just all pig out and sit around and visit for a spell while we wait on dinner to settle then we drag our still rather plump bellies back into the kitchen for all those sweets we know we dont need but ohhhh it's so good any ways!  lol

 

So what do you do for Thanksgiving? Do you usually host at your home that day or go someplace else? Is there a dish you make year after year?
