Its MONDAY!! What Are You Reading Monday.....

Its Monday and things are getting back to normal. Husbands back to work, son is back to the school schedule.

It's Monday! What are you reading this week? is a weekly event hosted by J. Kaye Book to celebrate what we are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week. Feel free to join in this weekly event if you'd like as well as use the photo/pic/button above.

Books completed last week: None :(

Books I am currently reading/listening to: The Witch Doctor's Wife
by Tamar Myers.
 
I'm really digging this book. Amanda Brown, a missionary, flies to the Belgian Congo to replace the missionaries running the missionary guest house. As the plane descends for landing, they experience problems and crashes into the trees and starts a blazing fire. Amanda who has hit her head and going in and out of consciousness, is carried off the plane by an unknown Nigerian man. In the meantime, this unknown Nigerian man needs to get away without being noticed and does so, disappearing in the woods.
I'm dying to know who this unknown Nigerian man is!  More later.

Up Next:

600 Hours of Edward by Craig Lancaster
  Back of the book:  Edward Stanton is a man hurtling headlong toward the middle age. His mental illness has led him to be sequestered in his small house in a small city, where he keeps his distance from the outside world and the parents from whom he is largely estranged.
  For the most part, Edward sticks to things he can count on.. and things he can count. But over the course of 25 days (or 600 hours, as Edward prefers to look at it) several events puncture  the walls Edwards has built around himself.
  In the end, he faces a choice: Open his life to experience and deal with the joys and heartaches that come with it, or remain behind his closed door, a solitary soul.
  Sounds intriguing!!

After that is The Dark Matter Directive  by D. Charles Wilson.


From Amazon: 
Product Description
When fourteen-year-old Eric Jessing wakes up one morning and finds the bathroom mirror has turned an endless black, he's clued in that things are about to get very interesting. A string of frightening and unexplainable occurrences follow that lead their dad, Matt, to feel his sons need protecting. After he ushers them out of the house, he calls a local psychic hoping for a sympathetic ear and a way to stop what seems like psychic phenomena. Unfortunately, what Matt learns is that his kids were born with a special gift: the ability to draw in and deflect dark spiritual energy like a pair of paranormal lightning rods. Worse, a particularly nasty entity called `The Red Horseman' has noticed, and sets out to absorb their ability. Directed to a renowned physicist and bookseller named Harker Jeffries, the boys learn that a secret society of children like themselves exist all over the world and have been at war with each other for thousands of years. 

Thats all for now!!  Have a great week.


Best regards,

Sounds like a good reading week!

I didn't even finish one from last week, so I didn't do a post this week. I did do a Teaser Tuesdays, though, and that's here:
