Lakeview House | Helen Phifer

Began reading this today for #bookclub. It's very interesting that readers get the killer's thoughts in the prologue then meet a lot of characters later on... Who is the killer? Did we meet them already? These are the thoughts running through my head as I read.

The main character, Maddy, accepts a job as a live-in caretaker at a house by a lake. While there strange things happen to her.

People said Ove saw the world in black and white. But she was color. All the color he had.

The Hit | David Baldacci

I love Will Robie! David Baldacci's characters are brilliant. I give it a 5 out 5.
If you like a plot that moves right along, mystery, and dry humor this is the book for you.

"... Alliance pears: steeped in wine, deep fried, powdered with sugar, and smothered in apricot sauce." Mmm yummy.

Mostly my bed. Although I am working on getting a big reading chair.
Both. Whatever is on hand, I guess.
I usually I just keep reading until I finish, but if I have to stop it doesn't matter where.
Yes! Both, especially chocolat
Sometimes I have the TV on low
Both, depending on book

Yes. Sometimes I start with the ending
Breaking. Some satisfaction in it

I swear,Kalten muttered Not good enough. Let's make it nice and formal. I want it to make an impression on you. You've got this tendency to overlook to things if they aren't spelled out.Do you want me to sign something in my own blood?Kalten demanded acidly.It's a thought, but I don't have any parchment handy. I'll accept your verbal oath-for the time being.I may change my mind later,though,so keep your veins nice and loose and your dagger sharp.

"I hope that farmer hasn't looked into his barn yet, then. He might be a little touchy about the missing firewood."I'll pay for it if I have to."Talen winced. "After I went to all the trouble of stealing it? Sparhawk, that's degrading. It might even be immoral."
Sparhawk looked at quizzically. "Someday you're going to have to explain the morality of a thief to me." "It's really simple, Sparhawk. The first rule is not to pay for anything."

"Benedict once mentioned his apprentice had a friend so loyal that no matter what ludicrous scheme the boy concocted, Thomas Bailey would be there, right beside him. Christopher is wanted for murder. His head is worth twenty pounds. And the King's men are not the only predators hunting it. Yet here you are."- If only we were all so lucky to have such a friend. I love this quote it sums up there friendship beautifully.
