Saturday 7 - Seven Books I swear I'm gonna read this year



If you read my other blog Escapades, you know that I enjoy writing Short Stories and Fiction and that lately I've been writing a lot of mysteries...It's time that I study the master, Walter Mosley again so my first three books are going to be by him...Featuring his new private detective...Leonid McGill...


1. The Long Fall by Walter Mosley





it's been laying around my house since Christmas ,2009....Time to read it.


2.Known to Evil by Walter Mosley




The second Leonid McGill mystery...Got it as a birthday present last year and still haven't read it....Spending too much time Blogging and on Facebook and Twitter.


3. When The Thrill is Gone By Walter Mosley




Here he's written a third McGill mystery and I haven't even bought it....I never let a third Easy Rawlins mystery go un bought and un read...


I like erotica too and I have to read the queen of Black erotica...Zane.

4.The Hot Box by ZANE





This has been around my house since last summer.....I've read one chapter!


5.INCOGNEGRO  by Mat Johnson




Mat Johnson is a Philadelphian , who I believe lives in London now....I bought his first novel- "Drop" some years ago and really liked it...I'd love to read his new mystery.

6. Trading Dreams At Midnight by Diane Mckinney Whetstone




Another Philadelphian and I believe a one time co-worker of mine......I've got to read this book...I've read all of her other books and I've had this one sitting around here for the longest time..Longer than the others.


7. And Last  but certainly not least- Anything by my blogging buddy and sister from another mother-Mizrepresent-





I'm not going to put her government name out on my blog...but she is a many time published author and she has at least three novels I plan to read sometime this year...


So if you don't see posts on my blogs for a few days....I haven't quit or canceled my blogs...I'm just reading!

Hey Keith i LOVE your list. Like you i have been so busy with blogging, twitter, etc...that i haven't been reading. Walter Mosley is one of my most favorite authors. I studied him while trying to improve my skills. I'm gonna need to get this new series too! Thanks so much for including my books in your list!

Hey there. Happy New Year.

I have had Walter Mosley's "Fortunate Son" for quite sometime. I think I'll join you.

Enjoy.

Love and peace,

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
