Tuesday Teaser -- Vince Flynn
From The Third Option by Vince Flynn:
"The man walking through the woods had already studied hundreds of photographs of the property and its owner. Some of the photos were snapped from satellites orbiting the earth thousands of miles up, but most were taken by the surveillance team that had been in place for the last week."
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly book meme, hosted at http://shouldbereading.wordpress.com/. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

EIGHTEEN ACRES
Eighteen Acres by Nicolle WallaceMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Essentially a story about relationships set in and around the White House and the culture of power. The characters are well-defined and somewhat predictable, yet engaging nonetheless. This novel brings the power brokers into human focus with all of their gifts, emotions, strengths and flaws. EIGHTEEN ACRES is an engaging story driven by likable characters and a believable plot line.

Lailah is a good traveler and loves to go everywhere with us. Sometimes, she is so clever when she hides that we simply cannot find her!

Dogs on Thursday -- Sleeping Dog Lying
Lailah is so adaptable--especially on our camping trips. She cuddles up and snoozes on a mattress pad in our old camping trailer.
Back in the old camping trailer, she finds comfort on the sofa with a soft sleeping bag.
All in all, she's a great companion wherever she is and always manages to find just the right spot for a nap.

Teaser Tuesdays ~ Barefoot
"Josh Flynn didn't have a mystical bone in his body, but he wasn't insensitive, either. He knew when something was meant to be, and for some reason as yet unclear to him, he was supposed to be involved with the three women and two small children he had singled out earlier that afternoon."

Transfer of Power by Vince Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Transfer of Power by Vince Flynn is the first book in the Mitch Rapp series set amid intrigue and covert action. This high adrenaline story kept me turning pages with eager anticipation of what could possibly happen next. The bits of humor tucked within the high stakes drama give the reader a smile or chuckle of relief. Beyond the high interest story line is the glorious writing of Vince Flynn. The pleasure of reading his words is a large part of the enjoyment of his books. Though thrillers and intrigue are far from my normal reading fare, this author has drawn me to this genre through his clever and witty writing. Though I flinch at some of the language and skip through the violence, the story and writing thrust me forward in this world of political intrigue and action.
If you enjoy good writing with a twist, you just might enjoy this book. I did.

Dish Rag Tag 2010
Thanks to my AlterKnits partner in Dish Rag Tag for the very pretty dish cloth and box of goodies. While a dish cloth is a "gotta-have", the "like-to-'haves" included stitch markers, a little change purse, chocolate, a cute notepad, and soaking lotion. Thanks to my team mate for each lovely item. I am currently knitting the dish cloth pattern to send on the the next team mate and enjoying the soft pinks and cream of the variegated yarn.
