The Cabinet of Curiosities:
In an ancient tunnel
underneath New York City a charnel house is discovered. Inside are
thirty-six bodies all murdered and mutilated more than a century ago.
While FBI agent Pendergast investigates the old crimes, identical
killings start to terrorize the city. The nightmare has begun. Again.
Not my usual kind of book but since my husband bought it for me and keeps asking when I am going to read it...well...I decided to give it a try.

The First Chapter of BITING COLD!
It shone like a beacon. More than a thousand feet of skyscraper, the
lights at the top of its antennas blinking through the darkness that
blanketed the city. The Willis Tower, one of the tallest buildings in
the world, was nestled in downtown Chicago, surrounded by glass and
steel and the waters of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. Its bulk
was a reminder of where we’d come from . . . and where we were going.

"While it Lasts" Coming 7/31/12
Looking forward to this one...Abbi Glines has become one of my favourite authors and I am enjoying the "Sea Breeze" series a lot...A bit more of Jax would be cool!
"Maybe
driving home after a few (or more) shots of tequila had been a bad
idea, but hell, he did it all the time. The cops had to have been
freaking bored to have pulled him over. He wasn’t even swerving! That’s
Cage York’s story and he’s sticking to it.
Unfortunately,
his baseball coach isn’t buying it. Cage has a free ride to the local
junior college for baseball -- or he did, until he’d gotten a DUI. Now,
Cage has to decide: does he drop out and give up his dream of getting
noticed by a college in the SEC, and possibly making it into the Major
Leagues -- or does he give in to his coach’s demands and spend his
summer bailing hay?
Eva
Brooks planned out her life step by step when she was eight years old.
Not once over the years had she lost sight of her goals. Josh Beasley,
her next door neighbor, had been the center of those goals. He’d been
her first boyfriend at seven, her first kiss at ten, her first date at
fifteen, and her first tragedy at eighteen. The moment she’d received
the phone call from Josh’s mother saying he’d been killed along with
four other soldiers just north of Baghdad, Eva’s carefully planned life
imploded in the worst way possible.
Cage
isn’t real happy with his closet-sized bedroom in the back of a foul
smelling barn, or his daily interactions with cows, but he knows that if
he doesn’t make his coach happy then he can kiss his scholarship
goodbye. Only a sick and twisted man would decide his punishment was to
be working on a farm all summer. No hot babes in bikinis waiting to meet
a Southern boy to make her vacation complete. Just him and the damned
cows.
Oh
-- and an uptight, snarky brunette with the biggest blue eyes he’s
every seen. But she doesn’t count, because as hard as he’s tried to
charm her out of her panties - he’s pretty sure she’d rather see him
hung from the rafters than let him get a taste of her pretty little
lips."

Existence mini prequel- "Death's Arrival"
“DEATH’S ARRIVAL”
The moment she spotted me, I knew it. Granted, she
did a really good job of pretending she couldn’t see me. The fact that
she halted in her steps the moment her eyes met mine, then quickly
darted past me as she hurried into the school, gave her away. Students
walked past me all morning without seeing me, but this one saw me. I
stood up from the wooden picnic table, where I’d been sitting awaiting
her arrival. I could force her to acknowledge me by becoming visible to
everyone else but I wasn’t in the mood to do so just yet. The
determination in her eyes intrigued me. If there hadn’t been a parking
lot full of witnesses, I have the feeling she would have yelled at me
instead of cowering like most humans. The monotony of my existence
didn’t hold much promise of entertainment. I’d play her games for
awhile. Games were fun to play and it’d been much too long since I’d
come across a worthy opponent, especially a female one.
When I’d decided to come much sooner than required to take a soul, I hadn’t been expecting to be intrigued by a mere girl. Although she was the soul I’d come to take, she wasn’t what drew me here early. There was something else here or should I say someone else here who didn’t belong. No, I wasn’t here for the girl just yet, I came to see the soulless. It wasn’t my job to follow the soulless but they were so rare. It had been over a hundred years since the last soulless walked the Earth. He was just a boy, which was expected. The soulless never lived long. They fulfilled their purpose by their creator and were then removed from life. Although he had no soul for me to hear I could still watch him undetected.
His eyes continued to scan the crowd of students. His purpose must be here. Patiently I waited until he found his prey. Almost as if he were the silly boy he portrayed, his attention was claimed by a girl. Ah, but not any girl. He was here for her, too. Her soul was marked, of course, and therefore mine to take. His purpose would be up sooner than expected. Whatever reason the soulless has for watching her will become pointless when I take her soul. Unfortunately, her time is up. Death is literally knocking on her door. Chuckling at my own humor, I silently rapped on the wooden door as I followed her into an empty classroom. Depending on what the soulless was after, I realized I might have to forgo playing her games and just take her soul as planned.

Ash's Letter To Meghan
http://www.theironfey.com/downloads/DigitalLetter.PDF
MEGHAN,
I don’t think this letter will ever reach you—I hope it will not—but I’m writing it anyway.
Because you need to know what I attempted; that my oath to you was not in vain,
that my last thoughts, feelings, dreams, everything—were of you......

JK Rowling's new book is named The Casual Vacancy
The Casual Vacancy
by
J.K. Rowling
When Barry Fairweather
dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is
left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled
market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty
façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with
their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with
their pupils...Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat
left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the
biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election
fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?

Alexander Skarsgård “The Viking Conqueror”
“The Viking Conqueror” – Article by Sean Macaulay.
But his biggest thrill in Hollywood so far was meeting his local football club Hammarby when they came to Los Angeles for pre-season training. “I took them out after they played LA Galaxy. I live in Hollywood and meet all these celebrities and I couldn’t care less. I as at a bar with a bunch of footballers from south Stockholm and I’m crying I’m so happy,
“Someone who doesn’t support a team will never get it. These are 22-year-old kids from south Stockholm. They’re not Lionel Messi. They’re not even the best team in Sweden. We’re in the second division right now. But I will never get more star struck than that.”
