My February reading list:

Finished - 

1. "Every Day" by Elizabeth Richards (C) In the rare moments when Leigh Adelman has time to consider her chaotic life, it takes her breath away: there's her fourteen-year-old son Isaac, fierce and vulnerable; eight-year-old Jane, wise, tart-tongued and practical; baby Daisy, her joyful last child; and reasonable, patient Simon, a devoted husband and father. Leigh's suburban New York life is fourteen years distant from her first love. It had been electric, an adventure that produced the divine gift of Isaac - and taught her that even all-consuming passion doesn't mean happily ever after. But that intense, hopeful time had slowly receded to a distant corner of her heart...until the summer morning when Fowler popped back into her life. Cautiously, Leigh walks into a Manhattan hotel bar, unfinished business compelling her to see the brilliant, uncompromising Fowler. And as soon as she hears his voice she understands that she has always loved him. But this rendezvous turns out to be less about first love than it is about a last chance. For it is clear that Fowler is dying. Honest, moving and utterly authentic, Every Day is about testing the boundaries of love, and living with the often messy consequences. For anyone who has ever daydreamed about the past, or silently wondered what if, this unforgettable novel rings with one essential truth: the toughest choices yield the most unexpected rewards.
2. "Not Without Risk" by Suzanne Brockmann (A) It began as nothing more than a day's pleasure cruise on the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. But then Emily Marshall stumbled into a deadly maze of drug smuggling and murder - and discovered that the only person who could help her was the man who had once torn her heart to shreds. Jim Keegan was sure he was over this woman - until a passionate interlude at an isolated beach house showed him the truth he'd been hiding from for so long. Now he knew exactly what he had lost when he walked away from her - and what he would lose forever if he couldn't save her.
3. "Cry No More" by Linda Howard (A++) Count your blessings; they can be snatched away in an instant. It is a sentiment Milla Edge knows too well. With an atonishing blend of savvy, instinct, and passion, Milla displays an uncanny gift for finding lost children. When all seems helpless, desperate souls from across the country come to her for hope and results. Driven by an obsessive desire to fill the void in other people's lives, Milla throws herself into every case - all the while trying to outrun the brutal emotions stemming from a horrific tragedy in her past. Traveling to a small village in Mexico on a reliable tip, Milla begins to uncover the dire fate of countless children who have disappeared over the years in the labyrinth of a sinister baby-smuggling ring. The key to nailing down the organization may rest with an elusive one-eyed man. To find him, Milla joins forces with James Diaz, a suspicious stranger known as the Tracker who conceals his own sinister agenda. As the search intensifies, the mission becomes more treacherous. For the ring is part of something far larger and more dangerous, reaching the highest echelons of power and influence. Caught between growing passion and imminent peril, Milla suddenly finds herself the hunted - in the crosshairs of an invisible, lethal assassin who aims to silence her permanently.
4. "Heartbreaker" by Julie Garwood (A) In the still shadows of the confessional, the penitent kneels and makes a bone-chilling disclosure: Bless me father, for I will sin... Tauntingly, the man describes his murderous past - how he stalked his victim, worked his way into her life, and then took that life in a violent rage - and his plan to kill again. Only this time, he reveals the name of his next intended victim. I'm a heartbreaker. And I do so love a challenge... Agent Nick Buchanan has come face-to-face with society's worst monsters in his work for the FBI. Nick can't refuse this case - for the threat hits close to home. The intended victim is his best friend's sister Laurant. Soon he is caught up in an intricate chase with one of the most devious psychopaths of his career. As an electrifying attraction grows between Laurant and Nick, so does the danger - and one false move will cost both of them everything that matters.
5. "Hide and Seek" by Cherry Adair (Men of T-FLAC #3) (C) Posing as the spoiled girlfriend of an international crime lord, Delanie Eastman braves a remote mountain in South America to find her missing sister. The last person she expects to see is Kyle Wright, the man she had a torrid affair with four years ago. What is he doing so far from home? Though frightened and suspicious of this man who is not what he seems, Delanie cannot resist the dangerous attraction that draws her ever closer to him like a moth to flame. Kyle is in the middle of his own secret mission and he's not about to let the gorgeous, unpredictable Delanie ruin his carefully laid plans. He will guide Delanie out of the jungle by any means necessary - including seduction. But just one touch is all it takes to rekindle the intoxicating flame that still burns between them, igniting an arsenal of desire that could cost them their lives.
6. "Hermit's Peak" by Michael McGarrity (Kevin Kerney #4) (C+) When an old family friend unexpectedly leaves Kevin Kerney 6400 acres of high country land outside Las Vegas, New Mexico, the last thing Kerney wants to think about is police work. Taking a rare weekend off from his job as deputy chief of the New Mexico State Police, Kerney sets out to explore the land, a rugged mesa in the shadow of Hermit's Peak. Before Kerney can get every far, he comes upon an ailing stray dog with a woman's running shoe in it's mouth. The dog leads him to the butchered bones of a murder victim, and Kerney finds he's inherited a homicide along with a ranch. Determined not to see his weekend ruined, Kerney turns the investigation over to the state police district office and continues his survey of his windfall inheritance, only to find that timber thieves have clear-cut a great swath of woodland in a remote canyon. Unsure of whether he can pay the inheritance taxes, hold on to the land and realize his dream to ranch again, Kerney returns to Santa Fe. There, he finds that Sara Brannon - a woman he cares deeply about - has arrived to visit him. As Kerney and Sara begin trying to sort out a relationship that means more to both of them then either is willing to admit, Kerney is called back to Hermit's Peak. Another murder victim has been found at a remote cabin next to Kerney's property, and he is soon engaged in a race against time to solve two murders and avert another.
7. "Last Kiss" by Luanne Rice (B-) A face on a poster, a name in the news, an inexplicable tragedy. A promising young man goes out one warm summer evening and is found dead - murdered - less than twenty-four hours later. No motive. No clues. No answers. Most people reflect briefly on the disturbing headlines, perhaps say a silent prayer of safely removed sympathy, and go on with their lives. But what if the young man was your son? Or your true love? Nearly a year after the death of eighteen-year-old Charlie, singer-songwriter Sheridan Rosslare still hasn't played a note of the music that was once her life's passion. Tucked away in the beach house where she raised her only child, she lives with her memories of him and a grief too big to share even with her beloved sisters or her dear friend Stevie Moore. Nor can Stevie comfort Charlie's heartbroken girlfriend, Nell Kilvert, whom she regards as a daughter. Nell won't rest until she finds out what really happened to the boy she loved. Out of the past she summons a man she believes cares enough, and is tough enough, to uncover the truth - Sheridan's long-ago soul mate, Gavin Dawson. Now Gavin's boat, the Squire Toby, sits anchored in the harbor within sight of the window of the woman he once loved, still loves, and will always love. Sheridan, too, had once fervently believed in the miraculous power of love and healing, forgiveness, connection, and reunion. But that faith died along with her son. 
8. "Thunderhead" by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child (A+) On an abandoned Santa Fe ranch a young archaeologist finds a letter written sixteen years ag yet, mysteriously, mailed only recently. In it her father, long believed dead, hints at a lost city of gold that will make him famous - and rich. Now Nora Kelly is leading an expedition into a harsh, remote corner of Utah's canyon country. Searching for her father and his discovery. Nora begins to unravel one of archaeology's greatest mysteries. A thousand years ago a thriving civilization suddenly and mysteriously vanished. For Nora Kelly and her strife-ridden team of explorers, the answer is at their fingertips. Then the terror explodes.
9. "The Secret" by Jane Porter (another Coopers Corner's book) (B) Widowed Nevada rancher Zane Dumas wanted no part in his twin brother's search for their biological father. The news that they'd been switched at birth was no more welcome to him than Hollywood director Eve Caffrey and her crew arriving to shoot a blockbuster movie on his land. Even though Zane was distant and remote, Eve sensed the growing attraction between them. So when one of Eve's crew members had a hunch that Zane's birth father might live in Cooper's Corner, Massachusetts, Eve was determined to get Zane on a flight out East. If Zane was ever going to be free of the past, he needed this reunion.
10. "Home Before Dark" by Susan Wiggs (A+) In her career as a photojournalist, free-spirited Jessie Ryder has seen the world through her camera lens. But she's never traveled far enough to escape a painful moment that has haunted her for the past sixteen years: the day she gave her baby daughter away. Now, facing a life-altering crisis, she's decided to fix the broken pieces of her heart and seek out Lila, even if it means she has to upset the world of Lila's adoptive mother...her very own sister, Luz. Like a technicolor tornado bursting into Luz's picture-perfect life, Jessie returns to her Texas hometown with a shattering request. She wants to tell Lila the truth. As Luz and her husband struggle with what Jessie's return may mean to rebellious Lila, their seemingly solid marriage falters. Old secrets are exposed. Then, just as Jessie comes to terms with the past, life's bittersweet irony plays its hand. She meets Dustin Matlock, a young father who has survived a devastating loss. And Jessie begins to see the hopeful possibilities that lie buried in the most wrenching tragedies. Though she aches to reach out to those she loves, Jessie stands at the crossroads. She is leaving behind the only life she knows and blindly leaping into the unknown. Now the choice she makes will affect the life of her daughter and challenge the meaning of sisterhood. As Jessie and Luz examine the true meaning of love, loyalty and family, they are drawn into an emotional tug-of-war filled with moments of unexpected humor, surprising sweetness and unbearable sadness. But as the pain, regrets and mistakes of the past slowly rise to the surface, a new picture emerges - a picture filled with hope, promise and the redeeming power of the human heart.
11. "Serpent Gate" by Michael McGarrity (A) Mountainair, New Mexico. The very name conjures up the clean air, the foothills, the gorgeous mountains of the Southwest. Some would say this is God's country. It is also Kevin Kerney's, especially when chrimes like rape and cop murder intrude on the outwardly idyllic natural setting. It was opening night of the annuall town rodeo six months ago when Patrolman Paul Gillespie left the calf-roping finals, headed toward the police station, and was killed by person or persons unknown. Nobody much is talking, at least not to Kerney, but Kerney suspects that one man, Robert Cordova, a schizophrenic, saw something that memorable night. Murder and its aftermat, which are reflected on a small scale in Mountainair, play themselves out against a much glitzier backdrop in Santa Fe, where priceless art disappears from the governor's offices. While monitoring Mountainair, Kerney, now deputy chief of the State Police, returns to Santa Fe to take on an old nemesis.

Just finished "The Witch Is Dead", "Sundays at Tiffany's" By James Patterson, and just finished, "The Search for My Great Uncles Head" by Robert Latimer, just finished  "It isn't easy being green"  by Jim Henson

Reading Doggie Day Care Murder by Laurien Berninson (?) 

I am currently reading Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.  It seems so very long.  But about 100 pages into it, it's good.  I find it a little funny, every now and then, he throws in a paragraph that sums up the last 25 pages!  If he does a lot of 'recapping'...no wonder the book is so long!

I just finished the fourth book in S.L. Viehl's Stardoc series, Shockball.  I have been reading through these books pretty fast and they are still interesting to me.  I am waiing for #5 to come in the mail to start that one, too.

I just finished reading Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates. I am currently reading Mona Lisa in Camelot by Margaret Leslie Davis and The Secrets of Rome by Corrado Augias, both of which are very interesting.

Getting ready to start Testimony by Anita Shreve

I'am Currently Reading 3 diff books

1 Pandora's Daughter by Iris Johansen  

2 Danse Macabre Lauree K Hamilton ( I have been reading this sent Nov08)

3 I , Vampire Michael Romkey

I hope to finish Pandora's Daughter this week.

I don't know what I will read next, hoprfully finish the 2 I have start.

In the middle of the night, I began Tomato Girl by Jayne Pupek.  Crazy mama, sweet father who is going to leave them (not a spoiler since it's stated practically in the first sentence, then goes backwards in time a little)--good so far!

Finished The Interpreter of Maladies last night and I really enjoyed some of the stories.  I then picked up Promise Not to Tell by Jennifer McMahon.  I'm liking it so far.  :)

I just finished Healing Promises, the second book in the Defenders of Hope Series by Amy Wallace.  Good suspense with a bit of romance.

Next I am starting Perfect by Harry Kraus, MD.

At the moment I am reading Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson and The Taking by Dean Koontz.

Total opposites but both are really good books.

Shoot the Moon - great so far
