Rhea1023's 2010 List

It has taken me a while to get posted, but as they say "better late than never". Even with a slow start last year, I was able to make the 75 book deadline and look forward to accomplishing the same feat this year. As for this group helping me with my addiction to books and the need to read everthing in sight...I have failed miserably (and blame all of you for recommending such fabulous books) and have taken to professionals. When the challenge began last year, I didn't have enough books in my library to support the challenge, now I have more than I know what to do with. What a great dilemma to be in!

2. I, Alex Cross by James Patterson
1/14/10 - 1/21/10
****

I have to say I was totally impressed with this book, James Patterson seemed to be in a rut as of his last few books but this one has redeemed him. Great book and am eagerly anticipating the next.

Yay! I am about 30 pages into I, Alex Cross. The beginning is very fast paced and exciting so far. I hope I enjoy it as much as you.

Keep with it, there are a lot of twists and turns, laughs and tears and enjoyment all the way around. James Patterson has found his groove again. Enjoy!!
