I have always had a passion for books and for the past four years I was honored with an appointment to the American Library Association CODES Notable Books Council. Now I am starting on a new adventure, the American Library Association CODES The Reading List book award for genre fiction.

New Foster Kittens
It looks like I will be getting a litter of three new foster kittens and possibly one extra. It will be interesting to see how Skippyjon Jones reacts to having a bit of competition for my time and attention.
On a positive note, Spike is finally starting to relax around Skippyjon Jones (and yes, I must write out his entire name or it isn't as funny.)

Unveiled by Courtney Milan
Margaret Dalrymple has had everything taken from her by Ash Turner including her home, her family and her good name. Unaware of her identity, Ash moves into her family home and mistakes Margaret for her father’s nurse. She is bound and determined to seek revenge but as she gets to know Ash and his family, she starts to care for them and has to make a choice, revenge or a chance at love.
This book has one of my least favorite plots, the "destroy the family of the one who did me/mine wrong". But in this case, the author makes it work. She provides a nice twist by having a caretaker type hero be the one seeking revenge. Instead of coming across as dark and brooding he comes across as caring, kind and, with his own secret to make him venerable. His absolute faith in the heroine is touching and somehow believable.
