Challenge: 2011 Reading Challenge from Goodreads

Challenges 2011 Reading Challenge Heidi has completed her goal of reading 25 books in 2011! hide 30 of 25 (120%) view books This was a good reading year!! I set the goal of 25 books back in January not knowing if I could make it, and I surprised myself with 30. Why is less than one book a week such a big deal? Because after grad school, I had a difficult time balancing reading and writing...and being overly critical. Every book I picked up would be like an assignment to me, rather than a pleasure.

EVENT: Official Kissing Day Blogfest - The Excerpt

Events Official Kissing Day Blogfest The following is an excerpt from the spy thriller I'll be finishing by New Year's called Sin City Zion : Phoebe stood in front of the highrise window looking out over the strip. She hugged her arms around her as much from the air conditioning as from the chill of fear. Nick came up behind her and rubbed the goosebumps from her arms. “How are you doing?” “I don’t know,” she said, surprised by the honesty of her response. Her stiff upper lip was failing her. She put her head on his chest. “Do you think they’re all right?” “Sure. Don’s probably got the Detsois holed up in a place even swankier than this.” His voice managed an upbeat tone, but Phoebe felt the hard thumping of his heart. “What are we going to do, Nick?” “I don’t know yet.” He always knew.
