06.06.13 Spending money & Force of Habit

I am thinking that goodreads doesn't like me anymore, I am really behind on reading and reviewing, because I have not won any books in a month.  I am reading way more than I was a year ago bu  nowhere near as close to the amount that I read in high school and college.  I love my dvr, I record most shows and channel surf live between watching the show and listening to music and then watch them again straight through without any distractions.  This takes up a good amount of time, right now I am watching WWE, i generally watch this on dvr only so I can fast forward through all the crap and get to the matches.  I have borrowed a game from a coworker for my 3ds, it's the first 3d game I am playing on my new system.

I finally gave in and bought some new tires for my car.  My father told me I need new ones in January and I managed to put them off this long that he said I have to have new tires or increase my chances of an accident.  Thankfully, my two back tires are worn but it will be a while before I have to replace them.  I also FINALLY bought a new mattress!  I have been suffering so bad in my current rundown dilapidated mattress.  I had flipped it, turned it,  bought a mattress foam cover, and piled numerous blankets and comforters over it and I still woke up in physical pain.  I put off on buying it until I new if I was moving away to school because it would be pointless to buy a new mattress for only four or five months use.  I decided to downsize, and now that I have put my new mattress on my old bed I see just how small it really is.  I do not know how Tori and I are going to fit together at night.  Hopefully my back will get back to normal and my side will stop spasming.  On a side note, I received my passport in the mail so now I can win an international trip, if i'm lucky.



Force of Habit by Cash Peters

I received this book on Goodreads firstreads giveaway program for an honest review.

My first impression, come on, what about a ninja fighting nun doesn't look good?

The book’s premise is what happens when a perfectly devote nun has a secret past?    I read this book over a month ago and am overdue for a written review.  Obviously my memory is not as sharp as when freshly read but some time has passed and I can rehash the overall feeling of the book as compared to an endorphin rush from finishing a book.

We are introduced to Sister Madeleine and other various members of the nunnery.   The reader is thrown into the world and the action and introductions seem to be done by the fly of our seats.   Sister Madeleine is made the trust and sole heir of a multi-billionaire’s fortune and assets.  She considers it her duty to a former friend, to investigate his death, and goes against her vows and flies to the immoral land of Los Angeles dragging a failing nun in training along for the ride.  With secret organizations trying to overtake the world, we get a look into Sister Madeleine’s past and the link between the two.  Who was her friend howard really?  How will a sister who’s been in a convent for forty years handle the world’s technological advancements?  Sister Madeleine has a can do attitude, a crack sense of humor and great physical prowess for a senior citizen.  This book was an easy read, it took a little time, since we started mid-action, to catch up and every part was enjoyable and quite hilarious.  I believe I will be on the look out for more books in this series or by this author.   ★★★★★.  I am willing to read this book again (which says something to me) and was left with a smile after I finished reading.
