Fourth Book in Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer

The fourth and final book "Breaking Dawn" (to the best of my knowledge) is coming out 2 August 2008; unless the publisher decides to change the date.

The cover is to be revealed over the summer of 2008.

This is technically a young adult book, but many adults have discovered this series of vampire stories and love them. I have yet to read them, but I do love a good vampire story; so, I probably will at some time.

Anyone interested in reserving a copy

can do so at their local Waldenbooks or Borders store.

"The Host" with a release date of 6 May 2008.

This one can also be reserved at your local Waldenbooks or Borders store.

"The Book of Painted Sorrows"
is coming out in hardcover April 2008.
This is the book that is quoted in so many of Dean Koontz's books, but it did not exist until now.
If you want to know more about it click on the link below.

There will be two special editions of the book

"The Darkest Evening of the Year".

If you want more information about them click on the link below.
They sound amazing, but very pricey.
They will both be signed by Dean Koontz and bound in Japanese silk.
One is selling for $200.00 United States dollars and the other one is selling for $1,500.00. No, that is NOT a misprint.
I wish I could afford to buy both of them because I bet they will be exquisite.
Oh well, maybe in my next life.

Jim and Joyce Lavene are a husband and wife mystery writing team. They currently reside in North Carolina and as to date have written over 40 books under different publishers. These are fun, fast, and easy to read, but pack oh so much in between the covers. These are the perfect antidote after those gruesome, heady, or took forever books.

Since these come in mass market and are not the big big hardcover books that seem to be getting bigger every time and cost more and more (some are over $30.00 now) they are perfect for the budget and space. If you love the quirky kind of characters that are just plain fun to read about or wish you were more like and have not found this husband and wife team yet check them out.

I just wish they would write faster!!!

Some of the "series" they write are:

Peggy Lee Garden Mysteries
(Poisoned Petals, May 2007 and the new one coming May 2008 is Perfect Poison)

Renaissance Faire Mysteries
A new series starting September 2008.

Stockcar Racing Mysteries
Swapping Paint

Pet Psychic Mysteries
A new series starting July 2008.

Sharyn Howard Mysteries
First book: Last Dance
Latest book (12): The First Shall Be the Last June 2007

Counted Cross Stitch Books (Pictures added 3-18-08)

I also love to do counted cross stitch.

I recently ordered the following 3 counted cross stitch books from my local Waldenbooks store.

Ancient Egyptian Cross Stitch
by Barbara Hammet
ISBN 0715325841

Native American Cross Stitch
by Joan Elliott
ISBN 0715327585

Celtic Art in Cross Stitch
by Barbara Hammet
ISBN 0715319183

They are all softcover about 8" x 11" books and each are $19.99. The books have full color charts that are easy to follow and they all have some spectacular designs and projects in them. I'm having trouble trying to decide what to do first. If you're into beads the Native American one has beads in almost if not all of their projects. I do know I'm doing bookmarks for some certain people, but after that I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

If you have the Borders/Waldenbooks reward card and e-mail there is almost a coupon every week. You usually have to have a reward card to use the coupon. The card is free to sign up for and the company does NOT sell your information. These books might be in stock at larger Waldenbooks or Borders stores, but if they aren't they should be available to order.
