Book Weekend: Pre-Birthday gifts ;)

Last Wednesday, my sisters came to visit us and is staying for a week. Everyone so excited because it has been too long since we saw them. We always have a fun times together. This Sunday (tomorrow), we be going out to eat for mom and mine birthday (we both had the same birthday month. But only 5 days away) and my two wonderful niece Trish and Heather will be coming down to eat with us. It's also been an awful long time since I've seen them too. So I will be surrounded by all the people I love. It will be the perfect Birthday gift I can ever ask for :) I can't wait for tomorrow!

I went to store today and brought books. This time, there are lot of books released and stocked. I was surprise to see that Cindy Gerard's Feel the Heat, the fourth book in Black Ops series, is out already. Didn't expected it until second week of October. I haven't yet read the first three books installment, but I'm slowly trying to read what ever is in my TBR pile first. Mood play big part on my reading *grin*. I was also surprise to see Shannon K. Butcher's Love You to Death on shelf too. It the latest suspense book of Butcher book. I don't think you need to read the other previous suspense to read the latest. I also got Make Her Pay by Roxanne St. Claire, the second book installment of her latest trilogy. Riptide by Margaret Carroll, the 2nd thriller book. Seduce Me in Shadow, the 2nd installment in her A Doomsday Brethren novel. I haven't got a copy of the first book Tempt Me With Darkness but I will soon. I'm far behind in catching up on all of my series/trilogies book. Hope I be able to catch up on it soon :)
