Hello Again & 2012 Reading Resolutions

What are your reading goals this year?

I have set two major reading goals for myself this year. First, on the recommendation of my good friend Chris, I’m reading through Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon series. My goal is to read the entire series this year! For those of you keeping count, that’s 12 books in all, including the newest thriller due out this Summer. I finished the first two in January, The Kill Artist and The English Assassin, and will post my reviews of those soon (hint: I’m…

Thriller Thursday: 11/22/63 by Stephen King

Stephen King’s newest book departs from the traditional horror genre on an interesting new path: a blend of sci-fi, philosophy, history, politics and romance. It wouldn’t be Stephen King if there weren’t some extraordinarily descriptive gore involved, but Constant Readers will be happy to see that King’s monumental talent for character and plot development translate well to other genres.

Through the magic of fake IDs, Jake becomes George, the man who goes back to a time without iPhones or the internet, to try to change history. But will it be everything he hoped? Will George risk everything for JFK?

New Releases and eBook Gift Ideas: December 6

*Happy Sigh* It’s the middle of December and this is my favorite time of the year! The air is crisp, the city is decked out for the holidays and people I pass on the sidewalks seem generally happy as they go about their day. I’ve been listening to my Christmas carols for a few weeks now and the only thing that could make this season better for me would be finally getting our first real snowfall of the season.

New books also make me happy. I bet they’d make someone on your gift list happy, too! Luckily, it’s New Release Tuesday and the list of potential gift books just keeps growing.

Travel Time is Perfect Reading Time

Thanksgiving weekend is one of the busiest travel times of the year. And travel time is great reading time! I don’t know about you, but I’m never quite sure what kind of book I’ll be in the mood for when travelling, I think it has a lot to do with my stress level after getting through security at the airport. So, I make sure I load up my eReader with a variety of options.

Here are just a few of the books I’m travelling with this weekend. What kind of books do you like to read when you’re away from home?
