    LOL, not yet because the hunt for THE SOLITAIRE MYSTERY got in the way. but now i'm fortifying myself with a few light reads of fantasy-romance before diving back into that cornucopia of cliffhangers! gotta strengthen the heart, you know--especially if what i dread is true, about solarin.... hey, do you see any alex archer rogue series lying around? because i'd mooch them all in a heartbeat! the series is about an archeologist ala Tomb Raider with ties to Joan of Arc. a little brain-candy, lots of action, an immortal-adversary who is suspect will transform into a love interest, and so many books to go before the series ends (vol 16 already by now, i think). have fun on your trip! life is so fun with books and travel, noh?

    Dear Vee: I am an author from Massachusetts. My debut novel HUNTING THE KING was published in April. if you like the books of Dan brown, you might enjoy HUNTING, as well. The novel revolves around a charismatic young woman named Molly O’Dwyer. Molly was five years old when she witnessed her mother die in a fire. She never knew her father. After her mother’s death, she was raised on the campus of a Jesuit college. Now an archaeologist, she has been recruited to participate on a dig in war torn Iraq. As a scientist she is compelled to discover whatever or whoever is buried under the sands of ancient Babylon. As an observant Catholic, she is scared that whatever she finds will have devastating consequences for her faith. There is a wonderful YouTube book trailer well worth watching if you have the chance. If you do get to see, please let me know what you think. Thanks. Peter

    Hiya there! How are you doing? I see that you were here recently. You know… I am always amazed at how many new and exciting books there really are out here for us (and everybody). I stay too busy so it's difficult to come often… but this is a great place to find new and exciting books and of course EXCITING PEOPLE LIKE YOU. Don't you think that books and its and readers are alike!!? Again Welcome!! Did you see anything at all that you were interested in or just pass? I picked up a few more books from the library today.

    Hi Vee,
    I haven't been to Ocean Star restaurant pero madalas akong dumaan sa Monterey Park on the way home.Dun ako madalas sa MPV seafood sa may corner ng Garfield and Valley boulevard.Nami miss ko na rin ang Yoshinoya sa corner ng Marengo at Valley blvd.It's been 8 long years since umalis ako sa SOCAL.Nagustuhan ko kasi ang malamig na klima rito (even sa summer)kaya hindi na ako bumalik diyan.Masarap makibalita lalo na at alam natin pareho ang lugar.Someday babalik ulit ako diyan.Have a nice day and take care.
