It's Monday! What are you Reading September 27, 2010?

This meme starts at One Person's Journey Through A World of Books!

What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week.  It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

I had a good reading week: finished five good books and started some more good books.:)
I posted three reviews and two giveaways.
Also I had five Winner posts last week. I have one more closed that I'll get up on Monday night.
Still working on more overdue reviews now. 

I didn't have much luck visiting last week as I hit the office early every day too jump into legal work and  closings.  I have more of the same busy week this week too. I will try again this week.

These were last week's posts plus five Winner posts not listed.

And the price of losing is the child--and the future--they could both share... 

Kindle:  First Flight: A Tor.Com Original by Mary Robinette Kowal.  I grabbed this from my Kindle TBR for a quick short read. I am really enjoying it. Check it out as a free Kindle read.

Audiobook: Whiteout by Ken Follett. I wanted an audio for the ride back from the airport on Friday. I got lucky to get this one a few months back at the thrift store.  Good mystery and intensity so far in two of five discs.

Product Description
Jealousies, distrust , and hidden rivalries uncover dark secrets, then a dozen vials of a deadly virus go missing. As a blizzard whips out of the north on Christmas Eve, several people converge on a remote family house. Stanley Oxenford, director of a pharmaceutical research company, has everything riding on a drug he is developing to fight a lethal virus. Several others are interested in his success too: his children, at home for Christmas with their offspring, have their eyes on the money he will make; Toni Gallo, head of his security team and recently forced to resign from the police, is betting her career on keeping it safe; an ambitious local television reporter sniffs a story, even if he has to bend the facts to tell it; and a violent trio of thugs are on their way to steal it, with a client already waiting. As the storm worsens and the group is laid under siege by the elements, the emotional sparks crackle and dark secrets are revealed that threaten to drive Stanley and his family apart for ever. Filled with startling twists, "Whiteout" is the ultimate knife-edge drama from an international bestselling author who is in a class by himself.

Line Edits: Still have several more books to format for release.
