I don't know if I don't read many thrillers or just don't classify many things I do read as thrillers. My Goodreads list only shows that I've read 26 since I joined in 2007, but considering how many mysteries and spy novels I read, I find that unlikely. I found this definition on-line: "Thrillers are intended to arouse feelings of excitement or suspense, and sometimes fear. The stories generally contain dark or serious themes. Thrillers are sensational, focused on illegal activities, and involve sex and violence." I'm going to have to go with Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn as my favorite, at least that I've read in recent years. I listened to it on audio...

My Favorite . . Thing About Spring

The world can be a dark place and it’s time to share something positive. For more info: My Favorite Meme. My favorite thing about spring is just the fact that it's warmer. I hate cold weather. I'm happier in the summer when the temps are in the 80s and 90s, but spring is getting there, especially on sunny days. I like other things too, flowers, and leaves on the trees, and sunshine, even though that's been lacking the last few days. What's your favorite thing about spring? Join in at Maureen's Books....

My Favorite . . Author

My Favorite.. is a weekly meme hosted by Maureen’s Books. In this meme we share every week something we love with each other. Because let’s face it.. The world can be a dark place and it’s time to share something positive. For more info: My Favorite Meme. The other day I was updating my "secret questions" for a work password and one of the prompts was "favorite author," and now today Maureen is asking the same thing. I put the first one that popped into my head the other day, since I figured that would be the easiest to remember. I'm choosing someone different today though. And not just because that's what the computer geeks would tell me to do. In all reality it's tough to pick a favorite author. It would almost be easier to pick a favorite author for when I need something light, or a favorite author for when it's cold and snowy outside, or a favorite kids...

The world can be a dark place and it’s time to share something positive. For more info: My Favorite Meme. There are four tv shows that I watch regularly: Survivor, Amazing Race, Elementary and The Librarians. I don't know that I can really pick a favorite. I love seeing the different places in the Amazing Race. I love Elementary's take on Sherlock. Survivor is always fun to watch, between the people and the challenges, and The Librarians does a great job at combining adventure and fantasy with literature, mathematics, science and mythology.

The world can be a dark place and it’s time to share something positive. For more info: My Favorite Meme. I don't watch many romantic movies. We're more action/fantasy folks. I wish I could say my favorite romantic movie is Casablanca or Gone with the Wind, but to be honest I don't really remember much about them. The one that popped into my mind was one we watched years and years ago, but i still pull out the sheet music to play. The Piano takes place during Victiorian times. Ada McGrath is mute and she has a young daughter. They are sent to the New Zealsand wilderness with Ada the imported bride of dullard land-grabber Stewart. Ada immediately takes a dislike to Stewart when he refuses to carry her beloved piano home with them from...
