Hi Y’all! It is November and I am bringing back the Month of Thanks. I had so much fun doing this last year that I thought I would recycle the program again this year. Each day I will highlight one book from 2013 that really stuck with me and one blogger (and their awesomeness) that I am thankful for! These are not in any particular order and by no means is 30 going to cover everyone (or book) that I love.
Read for Fun (Kindle)
Overall Rating :4.50
Story Rating :4.50
Character Rating :4.50First Thought when Finished : Oh my that made me cry big crocodile tears while out in public!
What I Loved: Solid, Smart, and Suspenseful is what I am going to use to describe the Suspense side of the story for Operation Endurance. I was on the edge and even though I suspected who it was early on, I was still devastated to be right.

What I Like best about Smitten with Reading: Christi is another blogger (author) that I know in person. We just click!
What I *heart* about Smitten with Reading: I am always flabbergasted at how much Christi can read. I swear her and Kelly (Reading the Paranormal & tomorrow’s spotlight) make me just go “Really?!?!?” (in a good way) at how many books they finish in a year. I think they both hit my reading goal about June LOL. Christi is also one of the creators of Top Off Tuesday, she loves wine and beer, and is just as delightful in person as online!
Why you should follow Smitten with Reading: Did I mention how much she reads? Plus she really does cover the contemporary spectrum better than anyone else I know!
Go visit Smitten with Reading
During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

I may or may not have mentioned once or twice how much I love this series. I also may have mentioned once or twice how excited I am that there is so much more in store for readers from Christi. 😉
She is also one of my ‘go-to’ bloggers when I’m on the fence about a new to me author or series. If Christi loves it, I know it has to be read.
OMG, how did I miss this yesterday? Thank you, Felicia!!! hehe…so yes, I’m a bit obsessed by books…and maybe drinking….but NEVER in a bad way. Really, can there be a bad way when the two things (we won’t discuss what happens when Felicia is in charge of the alcohol, but the next morning was painful)….
Love all you girls. And if you’re ever in West Texas, call me up and we’ll definitely go hang out. OR if you ever see me at a con somewhere (I’ll be the quiet one in the corner reading) come grab me and I’ll buy you a drink! smiles…
I will not confirm or deny that I come well stocked 🙂 🙂 🙂
PS you are welcome and you truly are one of my favorites 🙂
I love Christi’s blog! She seems like someone we could hang out and have a few drinks with. Plus, love ToT!
She is! Trust me when I say she totally is down to earth and super fun to hang with. 🙂
People who race through three to four hundred books a year amaze me. I am a fast reader but I just don’t have the time with two kids. This book sounds like one I need to check out!
The series is really good and heart-string pulling. I would say with this one though you really want to start with book 1 because by the time you get to this one (especially this one) you have a connection that just digs in!
You have me wanting to try her writing. I have her on my must try author list.
I’m a follower of her blog!
You really should! I think you would like it 🙂
Never read a book by her…yet 😉
I like that yet 🙂
One day I will read her books …
You will really like them 🙂 They are a good mix of romance and suspense!
