"Friday Finds"


What great books did you hear about / discover this past week? Share with us your FRIDAY FINDS! :D    

This week I heard about these three books, while reading book blogs. I have added them to my summer reading  "books to read" list. They all sound like they may be good  summer reading. 

This first one is a novel by Alex Kava, Damaged. It is a mystery thriller, but sounds like a fun summer read.
This second choice is The Pearls of the Stone Man by Edward Mooney Jr. It is the story of a couple married for 53 years and that is about all I know about it. But, I look forward to reading it this summer.
       

This last book is a novel by Nancy Thayer, Beachcombers, a story about 3 sisters and their summer in Nantucket. I have read many reviews that sound like this will be another good summer read. 

There you have it, that was the three books I heard about this week, and I added them to my summer reading list.
What books did you find or hear about this week?

    Thanks for considering my story, "The Pearls of the Stone Man". I have five videos in which I discuss the characters and plot in the setting of the story. In addition, a short piece was made by a film company in preparation for a movie. You can see these films at:

    Mr. Mooney,

    What a pleasant surprise! Thank you for visiting and leaving such a nice comment. I will check out the videos, I think I watched the one the film company prepared. It was enjoyable.

    Thanks again for taking the time out of your busy schedule to stop for a short visit.

    Ann

    Hi Ann,

    I hope you'll call me "Ed". I've been exploring this new world called the "blogosphere" and I ran across your "Reading Corner". I'm fascinated by the interconnection I see between blogs. I have one of my own, but, wow, I'm an amateur!

    Smiles from California,
