Snow Snow & More SNOW!!

OK Enough snow now!!! I am in Harrisonburg, Va and it has snowed about 15 inches, then last night it snowed ANOTHER 4-5 inches! It has snowed so much here that the Post Office will not deliver the mail!
I got out in my four wheel Kia Sorento today! Why can't the mail be delivered?? School has been out for days and businesses are offering to put employees up in hotels close by to keep them coming to work!! Things are crazy! Glad I don't have anywhere I HAVE TO BE this week!
If you are not getting all this snow be glad! I have gotten a lot of reading done, found several new Mystery writers some of the good books I have read lately are:

"Dark Tort" - by Diane Mott Davidson ( ok but just like her others - good recipes in book!)

"Shemcreek" - by Dorthea Benton Frank ( Great book! New Mystery "lowdown Country author I discovered when I was in SC - try her books...

"Pawley's Island" - by Dorthea Benton Frank ( Great book about SC and family)

"Bulls Island" - by Dorthea Benton Frank ( Fast read - one of her BEST!)

"In for a Penny" - by Kathryn R. Wall ( another SC "Lowcountry Author" - GREAT!!)

AND... one not so good....

"South of Broad" - by Pat Conroy - I did not like this book, I bought it after visiting Charleston as it was on all the bookstore shelves... I love that city and thought for sure it would be good... it did not describe that beautiful city .. could not connect with the weird characters, read it slowly.. took me three days... that proves it was not good.

So, there you go guys! Paige's Book Review! I have gotten a lot of reading done, averaging a book every two days! I have discovered I can buy them cheap on EBay, read them then turn around and resale them... costing little of nothing! Fun pastime!

Until next time.. happy reading, knitting, or whatever you are doing in this Blizzard of 2010!
