Steve and I have gotten some ‘smart phones’…we went with the HTC Desire.  Let me tell you this phone is definitely smarter than me! I absolutely love it but it has really taken up a lot of my time the past week between just plain trying to learn how to use it and challenging friends to Wordfeud and just looking at all the apps available to download.  It is just amazing.  Anyway I walked in work and realized it was my turn to blog and that I have hardly been reading this past week.  So here are a couple of suggestions that are on my to-read-pile.

Fall of Giants by Ken Follett

I am actually reading this one right now but I just haven’t gotten as far as I should be.  Fall of Giants is the first of  three historical novels called The Century Trilogy.  This novel follows five families from the beginning of World War I through the early 1920s.  The characters are mixed with actual historical figures from Britain, the U.S., Russia and Germany and you go on the journey through war, love and the social issues of the times with them and will enjoy every minute of it.  This is a book that when you get to the end you will think that 984 pages is not enough and then be thrilled to remember that two more books are coming soon.

Dark Prophecy : A Level 26 Thriller by Anthony E. Zuiker

This is the second book in the Level 26 Trilogy by Anthony E. Zuiker, the creator and executive producer of the CSI television series.  Steve Dark is a special kind of person.  He has the ability to hunt down and capture the type of serial killer that exceed law enforcements official scale of evil.  They are Level 26.

The first Level 26 book Dark Origins is now out in paperback and I just loved it when I read it.  It has one of the creepiest serial killer characters I have ever read.  Last night I was watching CSI and thought it was a rerun until I realized that they had turned the novel into an episode of CSI.  It was great!  You can just read these books cover to cover but about every 40 pages or so there is a code and you can log into a website, www.Level26.com, and watch a digital cyber-bridge–a short motion picture scene that will continue the Steve Dark story line.  You will be surprised at which celebrities you will see.  If you are a fan of the slice and dice then I highly recommend starting Level 26!
