The #NYTimes Top 15 (25) #BestSellers for the week ending April 20, 2014

Welcome! To another week of great books! Posted by NOON every Sunday or sometimes earlier! Thank you for coming by!

Well, I had one heck of a week! Last week after writing this article, my computer crashed! I was able to send out two posts letting you know what was going on at least, so I hope you got them as I was using hubby's computer - UGH! You know how it is when it's just not your computer! I had to do the last of my tax wrap-up using an online service, and THAT kept my computer running! I couldn't believe it! (YES! I AM a procrastinator when it comes to doing those! I ADMIT IT!) I was done, I just had to go through and do the last run-through, and I didn't want to do it! I HAD to do it, so I did. After that, I tried to fix whatever it was that was wrong, but "I" could not fix it on my own. I tried again the next day by removing old things,  didn't work. So I'm bummed out about a day or so when I remember I have the Geek Squad!! I called them and they fixed it over the phone! They are able to get into your computer, you know how they do that. I have to call them back because my Toolbar is so TINY! Something is also causing this computer to load SO S L O W L Y! They have more work to do! Lucky for them! LOL! They are great! I LOVE having them!!

This week I finished reading: 
The Collector of Dying Breaths (Book 6) by M J Rose - EXCELLENT! LOVED it! Watch for my review of it this week!
Now I'm reading A Shining Light (A Home to Amana, Book 3) by Judith Miller. I'm in a Blog Tour for that book, but I don't know my Tour Stop date. I can't find it in my email, either, so I'm in trouble! I'll find it. That book is a historical one about the Amana's, who I have never heard of before this book. This is a new one for me. Different lifestyles and they seem much more strict than the Amish! I can't believe it!
I'll talk more about the reviews for these books in a moment.

THIS WEEK, March 21-27th 'COMING UP' AT THE BLOG is what seems like "REVIEW WEEK"! Here they are:
*Review: Finding Cinderella by Colleen Hoover (Tuesday, 3-22 - this was supposed to be last week, but my computer died, so it is THIS WEEK!)
*Review: A Promise in Pieces, Quilts of Love - Every Quilt Has a Story by Emily T Wierenga - Wednesday, April 23rd, sponsored by LitFuse Publicity - LitFuse and their authors always have AMAZING GIVEAWAYS! I just don't know what it is . . . yet, so you'll have to mark your calendars to come back HERE "this" Wednesday!
*Review: The Collector of Dying Breaths, Book 6 by M J Rose. I read this as a standalone, and it can be read as a standalone, yet it is part of a series. I am planning to write and post this review tomorrow, Monday OR Thursday, I'm not to sure what today will bring yet, so I can't set this review date in stone. This was an outstanding book! I LOVED it! If you like perfume, oils, lotions, a little Black Magic taking place in the late 1500's during Queen Catherine's reign, and the present day as well, you're going to LOVE this book! I did! I want to read ALL the books in this series now!
*Review: Monday, March 28th, I know this is going into next week, but I thought I would include it here anyway so you don't miss it! "Prejudice Meets Pride" by Rachael Anderson!

The next week's reviews for April 28th to May 4th - so far and more to come: - I have a book about sewing!
Little Green Dresses - 50 Original Patterns for Repurposed Dresses, Tops, Skirts, and More by Tina Sparkles.
A Shining Light by Judith Miller - this is that book I am in a tour with, but I can't find the tour company or my review date! I lost that when my computer died.

I prefer to devote one entire day to each book review I do, which is why I spread them out so much. Heck, the author spent MONTHS or a YEAR writing them, the LEAST I can do is devote one entire day to their book!

PLEASE SHARE WITH US!! You don't have to write much, just write the name of the book and the Author's name! That's IT! I HOPE you'll do it!! Thanks!!
