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 another busy week. Saturday was spent with family so I didn't get my third book review up since kids were more important. :-) I'll post it this week.
Reading was good. I finished three books and started three . I posted two reviews and the usual memes. :-)
Unfortunately I didn't get to visit this week. I plan to do so Monday night.
Thanks as always to all the nice people who visit me.

Edge of Tomorrow
by Hiroshi Sakurazaka
I liked this quick listen, Sci Fi Action. Received from Simon & Schuster Audio through AudioBook Jukebox. I plan to post the review this week.
When the alien Gitai invade, Keiji Kiriya is just one of many raw recruits shoved into a suit of battle armour and sent out to kill. Keiji dies on the battlefield, only to find himself reborn each morning to fight and die again and again. On the 158th iteration though, he sees something different, something out of place: the female soldier known as the Bitch of War. Is the Bitch the key to Keiji's escape, or to his final death?
First time on CD! The original novel that inspired the sci-fi blockbuster film starring Tom Cruise!

Judgment in Death
by J.D.Robb
Narrated by: Susan Ericksen
This is a gripping installment in this series.
Publisher's Summary
In an uptown strip joint, a cop is found bludgeoned to death. The weapon's a baseball bat. The motive's a mystery. It's a case of serious overkill that pushes Eve Dallas straight into overdrive. Her investigation uncovers a private club that's more than a hot spot. Purgatory's a last chance for atonement where everyone is judged. Where your most intimate fate depends on your most intimate sins. And where one cop's hidden secrets are about to plunge innocent souls into vice-ridden damnation.
Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Inn at Last Chance
by Hope Ramsay
I am enjoying this as the attraction begins
and ghosts appear.
Book Description
Publication Date: April 29, 2014
"Last Chance captures the essence of Southern charm and quirkiness. I'm totally captivated!" --- Sherryl Woods, New York Times bestselling author
Jenny Carpenter is the unrivaled pie-baking champion of Last Chance, South Carolina's annual Watermelon Festival and the town's unofficial spinster. With her dream of marriage and children on hold, she focuses on another dream, turning the local haunted house into a charming bed-and-breakfast. But her plans go off course when the home's former owner shows up on her doorstep on a dark and stormy night . . .
Mega-bestselling horror writer Gabriel Raintree is as mysterious and tortured as his heroes. His family's long-deserted mansion is just the inspiration he needs to finish his latest twisted tale, or so he thinks until he learns it's been sold. The new innkeeper proves to be as determined as she is kind, and soon Gabriel finds himself a paying guest in his own home. As Jenny and Gabe bring new passion to the old house, can she convince him to leave the ghosts of his past behind-and make Last Chance their first choice for a future together?

I have a lot of driving this week so I expect to fit in another audio and will probably start another eBook too.
I am a up to date on my daily Bible reading.
