I Am Not a Serial Killer- Dan Wells

Posted by Hillary

Hey kids, It's me Hillary. Here you go- my most comprehensive and insightful book review to date.

- me reading the first chapter

- me reading the middle

- me reading the ending. Holy Schmoly, what an ending!

In case you were wondering, I really liked this book. I would give it 4/5 stars! Fabulous freshman novel Dan! Looking forward to reading "Mr. Monster".

ps- my kind of serial killer: or better said, "cereal killer"

until next week!

FTC FYI: Borrowed from a friend.

Julie Wright & Howard Tayler: Photo Bombers

Posted by Shanda

Dear LDSWBR Followers,

You have so many goodies coming your way. I wanted to give you a peek at the fun that was LDStorymakers Conference & 2009 Whitney Awards. Keep watching this blog and the podcast website for photos and podcasts of the conference and Whitney Awards.

We had a great time at the Whitneys, especially announcing the winner of the 2009 Whitney Award for Mystery-Suspense. I'll never forget the look on Stephanie Black's face when she realized Methods of Madness had won. Congratulations, Stephanie!

Teaser Tuesday - January 26, 2010

Posted by Shanda

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

Shanda's Teaser:

"Interrupting the silence, she questioned without thinking. 'Hey, Brax, other than your father, why don't you have any pictures of your family up?' She studied him curiously.

He had to give Kennedy some credit. She definitely didn't miss much, and she wasn't afraid to speak her mind."

Divinely Designed by Rachel Renee Anderson, page 61

Sheila's Teaser:

"I see dead bodies all the time in the mortuary," I said, "and I think that that's fine- Mom and Margaret have worked there for years, and they're not serial killers.So I see lots of live people, and I see lots of dead people, but I've never actually seen a live person turn into a dead one. I'm...curious."

"And the scene of the crime is the closest you can get without committing a crime scene yourself?"

"Yes," I said.
