The Heat of the Moon

I finally read this month's book - read it in two sittings. I probably would have finished in one sitting, but I started it late last night and finally went to sleep about 2:30 am! Many in the group told me it was a good book and that they "couldn't put it down". I have to agree.........I was thinking today about the difference in "readability" from book to book. Some you can just breeze through and WANT to keep reading 'til the end, others......well, it's like homework. Anyway, I also thought this book had the possibility of a sequel or becoming a series. The main character, Rachel, carries over into the author's next book, Disturbing the Dead. It is also a mystery, but it sounds like Rachel has moved on and is living in a new town. It's available at the library and I have put it on reserve.

I'm looking at some interesting new titles for next month. I put one on reserve that we will probably have to wait another month for, turns out I'm #2 on the list........sometimes the online info is a little confusing. So, I'll move on to another choice and hope the timing is right for the other one for next month.

Happy Reading and hope to see you all on August 25.

I just became aware of this site, and I'm delighted to know my first published novel, THE HEAT OF THE MOON, was chosen for discussion! I certainly don't want to shoehorn my way into your discussion, but please remember that if you have any questions for me I'll be happy to answer them.

You are definitely not a "reading nerd" Joan. That is the coolest thing ever!! I too read the book in a short time and loved it! Im thrilled that she is willing to answer our questions.

I can't wait to see what the next book will be.
