Anne's Book Club

Look What I Got in the Mail!

It's Nancy McCabe's newest book!

I'm not only excited to read it, I'm excited to talk to her about it. I'll let you know when she'll be on LiveLine, and I'll also keep you updated on her book signing events throughout the region.

If you’re in or around Jamestown on Thursday, you may want to stop by the Prendergast Library for Claudia Bowker’s book signing. “It Took a Bullet” tells the story of Doris Butler, who transformed an elementary school into one of the highest performing schools in Nevada before getting shot by a distraught parent.

What I'm Reading Now ...

This is my reading "list," but I'm actually not reading them all at the same time -- only four of them.

Think you can read them faster than I can? Follow the link to get the books, and then let me know how you did.

James Patterson's Book Shots

Who Gets What and Why
By Alvin E. Roth

If you were ever confused about the economy and markets and what it all means, Nobel Prize winner Alvin Roth can help clear it all up.

Actually, he even found a way to make it fun for me during our interview, which you can find here: wesb.com/on-demand

Review: Guilty Minds

Guilty Minds by Joseph Finder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It's hard to talk about this book without giving spoilers, but I will say it's about a Supreme Court Justice whose life is about to come crashing down around him if an online tabloid -- Slander Sheet -- runs with a story they have about him going to a prostitute three times. The Justice's powerful friend hires Nick Heller to get to the bottom of the story before it goes to print. He doesn't quite keep it from getting to print but, because of what he learned, Slander Sheet must take the story down and issue an apology.

As for getting to the bottom of it? Not even close!

Book Shots

I'm a big fan of James Patterson, in case you can't tell by this photo. And there are more Patterson books all over my apartment. Now, that includes books from the "Book Shots" collection, too.

I love Book Shots for so many reasons. Two of them are that nobody can say anymore that they don't have the time or money to read. (They're only about 4 bucks.)* With Alex Cross, for example, I didn't have to wait a whole year for the next book. It's a little fix -- or shot, if you will -- right when I start getting antsy waiting for the next one.

The only problem is that because they're a different size than other books, I may have to buy another bookshelf. Ah, book nerd problems.

*The library, people!
