Weekly Reading Re-Cap/IMWAYR?

Sheila at Book Journey hosts this weekly event where we celebrate what we are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week. I use this this weekly meme as a way to give short, concise thoughts on the books I've read.

I spend the last four days in Florida for a family party!  It was tons of fun. We stayed up too late, ate too much and all went home exhausted!

Thoughts on the Books I Read Last Week:

What I Love About You by Rachel Gibson

While he was in prison she raised their daughter, got a divorce and started a photography business.  Blake Junger moves in next door, has a mysterious job that has him coming and going.

Game by Barry Lyga

Book two in the Jasper Dent series.  Jazz's dad escaped prison in the last book. Jasper is wondering if what his dad asked him to do helped in the escape. He is waiting for him to begin his murdering ways.  When bodies start showing up in New York City, a detective contacts Jazz for his help.  Is this his dad? Another copycat? or something more sinister?   Jazz's friends and family are pulled into the "Game".  Questions are answered, but there are many left unanswered.  Soon everyone is in trouble. The book ends with a cliffhanger that I knew about so I didn't freak out.  Looking forward to the last book in the series.
