I love reading but lately I haven’t been doing enough of it. It’s not that I don’t have time, it’s that I haven’t been making enough time for it. Once upon a time I’d get through several books each week, now I’m lucky to get through a few month. But slowly that’s changing. Here are a few books currently on my bookshelf:

 Self-Printed: The Sane Person’s Guide to Self Publishing by Catherine R Howard

I’m actually re-reading this one for information, motivation and a kick in the butt. There’s so much information about self-publishing, including the marketing, the business, and failure and success that a once through read is not enough. The book has everything you need to know, it’s like having someone hold your hand throughout the entire process. Love it. Thank you Catherine Ryan Howard for writing this one. It’s a must read for any serious writer looking into self-publishing, or self-printing their book(s).  * * * * * 

20 Must Ask Questions For Every Property Investor by Margaret Lomas

I could talk personal finance and that includes property investing all day long and not get bored. So I started a personal finance blog. I’ve been educating myself on investing for over a decade now. Got my feet wet a while back and am looking forward to doing so more. I like Lomas’s strategy and the information she packs in her books. There’s no ‘get rich quick gimmick’ with her, instead it’s all about creating a portfolio of quality properties that will provide a combination of growth and cash-flow to help you reach your financial aspirations. Since we’re looking at purchasing an investment property, I though it was worth re-reading this one again. If you’re looking for an investment property, those 20 questions will help you pick a winner.  * * * * 

Again by Tess Gerritsen

Rizzoli and Isle’s make a great team and Tess Gerritsen’s books just keep getting better and better. Set partially in Bostwana and partially in Boston, from hunters in the wild to those in your own backyard, Gerritsen keeps you guessing till the very end. I don’t think I’ve read a book by Tess Gerritsen that I haven’t enjoyed. [ 5 * * * * * ]

The Wolf in Winter by John Connolly

John Connolly has a talent for grabbing his readers and keeping them turning the pages when they know they should turn out the light and go to sleep. I almost missed my station reading this in the train on my way home from work. The Wolf in Winter does not disappoint. A town called Prosperous has a deep dark secret, and when a girl goes missing her homeless father commits suicide, Charlie Parker, a private detective, is drawn in to investigate what really lies beneath the town. I enjoy reading Connolly however sometimes I find that his backstory and descriptions are lengthy, they do seem to work effectively in his stories.  * * * * *
