That's great Sally. I will watch for it.

I just finished A Shot in the Bark, one of the dog park mysteries. (hey they are fun and sometimes I need fun).

Just started one of the Bones books "Devil Bones". I am trying to get through her whole series.

If editing a novel counts as reading a book, the one that I am 'reading' now is tentatively titled "Never Stop Dreaming" and while originally written 14 years ago (I guess that makes it a period piece as I am not planning on updating it - only polishing it) it does not contain anything at all about trans issues - I was still in total denial.

I am not sure what name will be used as the author because it was written from the perspective of the male lead, any suggestions?

Sorry for the shameless plug but when I found this one and the half written one from the same period I had to read them and you know what - I liked them!

Watch for Never Stop Dreaming to hit Amazon sometime next month and if it sells I will work harder to get the next one finished.

Love ya,

Sally

Sally, did you ever get your book published on amazon

[Sally]

Mike,

My first book - the poetry one is available on Amazon but if you would like an autographed copy, send me PM and we can exchange information- no additional charge fro the priceless (or is that worthless) inscription.

Love ya,

Sally

After my previous Post I finished "Conundrum".

I'm currently reading "My Husband Betty" by Helen Boyd.

Almost finished that one too. Winter is good for reading.

I started reading "How Green Was My Valley," after having seen the movie recently. Pretty good so far.

Last week I finished books 1 thru 5 of A Song of Ice and Fire by George R R Martin.

Then I read Janet Mock's book Redefining Realness. I can really appreciate her book and the struggles that she went through. As I have been here in Hawaii since 1992 while I was still in the Navy. I started my transition here in Hawaii in 2010 and have heard about some of her story while I was in transition.

I also just finished Kristen Beck's book Warrior Princess. This is another book that I could relate to. Having spent 20 years in the Navy onboard Submarines and having worked with the SEAL community while on those Submarines.

Currently reading "Whipping girl" by Julia Serano.

Some of chapter 4 is like reading my own "short term" HT experiences.

Currently reading "Stone Butch Blues" by Leslie Feinberg.

Finished off "Stone Butch Blues" in 3 days.

Just could not put in down.

Impossible to read and to keep a dry eye at the same time.

Next up should be "Butch is a Noun".

I think this will be my last reading for a while. I can always hope.<giggle>

I think I've done a lot of reading this winter.

"Cosmos" by Carl Sagan. Can't wait to find out how it ends (fire or ice? ).

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. Between him, Christopher Hitchens, and the videos on YouTube by The Atheist Experience, they've pretty much converted (de-converted?) me.

The "highlights" of Dawkins and Hitchens on YouTube are very funny.

So I lied in my May 4th, 2014 Post.

The next book which came my way was "Persistence: All Ways Butch and Femme".

Huggs,

[Guest]

"Persistence: All Ways Butch and Femme" was a bit of a let down after "Stone Butch Blues".

None the less it was an interesting read.

On to "Butch is a noun" by S. Bear Bergman.

Don't judge...

I'm currently reading "50 Shades Darker".

I bought "50 Shades of Gray" a few months ago, just to see what all the fuss was about and I ended up reading it in a weekend, so I decided to buy the 2nd book in the series and see how the story continues. Also...I'm not a reader. The last time I cracked open a book was in college...

[Guest]

^^^ So, what do you think of them, Lizzie?

Don't keep secrets around here.<giggle>

^^^ So, what do you think of them, Lizzie?

I have mixed feelings. The steamy scenes were lovely but just as things were heating up, they'd stop and do something else. Lame! lol

I really fell for the love story and I actually cried at the end because I completely understood where Ana was coming from. Because I had thrown myself into the book over a weekend and the story was so intense and emotional...I actually had to take a week or two off from reading before I could start the second book. I had to recover!

The second book has been interesting so far. I'm not reading it as intensely as the first one, just little bits here and there when I feel like reading. I'm looking forward to the movie, to see what they do with it. Also so I can be a snob and say "the book was so much better!"

I am working on "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" five book trilligy at the moment.

I LOVE the first book! One of my favorites. The second I wasn't a fan of. Do they get better?
