Reading, One Mountain at a Time...and Counting Down to Ten Years....

I am writing this week from the deck of a condo at Beaver Creek as I am wrapping up a week of vacation in Colorado. (For those of you left with last week's cliffhanger, my husband and sons met me in Denver without incident last Saturday night in a moment that made me very grateful to whoever invented the cell phone.)
 
My memorable book moments/sighting of the week: the guy seated at the reception area at the bottom of the Great Sand National Park reading Bill Bryson's A WALK IN THE WOODS (was it for inspiration?), the woman at the pool at the condo in Crested Butte reading IN COLD BLOOD (I wonder what inspired that read), my husband reading SALT at each place we stopped (need to ask him what made him pick that to read now), my older son begging me to buy him 1984 at the Blue Moon Books bookstore in Crested Butte ("I loved ANIMAL FARM and want to read this.") while my younger son, who had finished THE BOOK THIEF and LOVED it, asking me to buy him PENDRAGON Book 7 at the Bookworm bookstore in Edwards ("Mom, you never got this one for me.") Both book requests happily were obliged. It beat buying t-shirts and yet another baseball cap.
 
As for me, how many people ride the gondola to the top of Vail thinking...hmmm....this would be a great place to read in peace and quiet?
 
It's been a great trip down memory lane for me as I spent a lot of time in Colorado over the years and in many ways for me it is like coming home. I have been doing a lot of hiking and walking and exploring via 4-wheel drive trails. I confess that when I see some of these really remote areas I think, "these are the places Amazon.com was created for." I can see many people in these locations ordering online and getting deliveries via mail. I realize how lucky I am to live in a place where my book passion can be satisfied "same day" most of the time. To all of our readers who live where books are not easy to come by, I salute you.
 
Our featured Beach Bag book this week is CLOSE ENOUGH TO KILL by Beverly Barton. I am glad I finished this one in Phoenix or I would have missed a lot of scenery along the way as the story snags readers at the very fast pages. If you like a romantic/suspense that grabs you from the first page and will keep your attention at your own version of the beach, read on for how to enter. I loved the colors of the cover of this book and our bag is very blue and purple as a result. I wish I bought an extra planter for myself! 

Our interview with M. J. Rose will give you insight into her research and inspiration for her new book, THE VENUS FIX. Everyone in the office who has read it has loved it as much as me. We are impressed with the way she deftly handled a difficult social issue --- Internet porn --- and wove it into a very suspenseful plot. We can see why there is buzz around this one.
 
Our newest featured Debut Suspense/Thriller Author is Gordon Dahlquist, an acclaimed playwright whose deeply compelling and suspenseful first novel THE GLASS BOOK OF DREAM EATERS hits shelves August 1st.
We have 10 Advance Copies of THE GLASS BOOK OF DREAM EATERS to share with readers who would like to read the book and comment on it. Interested? Then send your name and mailing address to DebutSuspenseThriller@bookreporter.com by Friday, July 14th.
 
Next month we will celebrate our 10th Anniversary at The Book Report Network. Bookreporter.com was our first website. We'd love to hear from readers as we celebrate --- everything from what you've enjoyed about Bookreporter.com, or the names of books and authors you discovered by reading us, or any other special memories or congratulatory messages. Please send your reflections to 10thAnniversary@bookreporter.com. We'll share these reflections as part of our 10th Anniversary feature later this summer.
 
I am in Denver this weekend and most of next week at the International Christian Retailer Show, which I am looking forward to. I know I promised you a blog about ThrillerFest, but traveling this week got in the way. We do have the winners of the first annual Thriller Awards for you here.

Here's wishing you a great week of reading wherever you are.

More about THE GLASS BOOK OF DREAM EATERS:
It begins with a simple note. Roger Bascombe wishes to inform Celeste Temple that their engagement is forthwith terminated. But, Celeste, for all her lack of worldly experience, is determined to find out why her fiancé should have thrown her over so cruelly. Adopting a disguise, she follows her erstwhile lover to the forbidding Harschmort manor, where she discovers a world --- by turns dizzyingly seductive and utterly shocking --- she could never have imagined, and a conspiracy so terrifying as to be almost beyond belief.

Seething with danger, terror and romance, THE GLASS BOOK OF DREAM EATERS is a mammoth work of the imagination, a deliriously readable, heartstoppingly suspenseful, and darkly erotic masterpiece of storytelling.

More about THE ASSASSINS GALLERY:
New Year's Eve, 1945. The assassin steps out of the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of a raging nor'easter. Cool and efficient, she's a weapon of war superbly trained in the ancient arts of subterfuge and murder. And even though she's outnumbered, she's got one major advantage --- No one knows she's coming.

Professor Mikhal Lammeck's specialty is the history and weaponry of assassins. But even Lammeck is caught off guard when the Secret Service urgently requests his help: A gruesome double murder and suicide in Massachusetts has set off alarm bells. It's only a hunch, but all too soon Lammeck suspects the unthinkable.

In the waning days of the war, someone wants one last shot to alter history. An assassin is headed to Washington, D.C., to kill the most important soldier of them all: the U.S. commander in chief. As Lammeck and a killer at the top of her profession circle the streets of the capital in the hunt for FDR, one of them will attempt to kill the world's most powerful man; the other, to save him. And between them, for an instant, history will hang in the balance...
