Borrowed Crime: A Bookmobile Cat Mystery by Laurie Cass My rating: 3 of 5 stars This time, Eddie and Minnie’s adventures weren’t as suspenseful. I didn’t feel the need to keep reading like I did through the last two books. In fact, I almost didn’t finish it. But I really like the characters and the […]
Review: The Black Tower
The Black Tower by Louis Bayard My rating: 2 of 5 stars I just don’t know why, but this book didn’t do it for me. I was bored beyond belief during the first third of the book. Thank goodness the action picked up along the way. But, even though the action picked up, the story […]
Review: The Witness Wore Red: The 19th Wife Who Brought Polygamous Cult Leaders to Justice
The Witness Wore Red: The 19th Wife Who Brought Polygamous Cult Leaders to Justice by Rebecca Musser My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was powerful. I remember when the book came out I watched Musser on some TV show. She seemed so relatable and her story was intriguing. This book illustrates that. She tells […]
Review: Dark Eden
Dark Eden by Patrick Carman My rating: 3 of 5 stars The story was good and I enjoyed the main character. The writing was a bit simple, but I understand to expect that from some YA books. The best part of all is the reference to some classic works of literature that might help kids […]
Review: The Little Green Book of Chairman Rahma
The Little Green Book of Chairman Rahma by Brian Herbert My rating: 1 of 5 stars I’m glad my updates about this book didn’t take. I was a little upset and spewing some vitriol. But the truth of the matter is that I didn’t like it. Not one bit. The writing was… ugh. I can’t […]
Review: That Night
That Night by Chevy Stevens My rating: 5 of 5 stars Sometimes, after reading several ho-hum books in a row, I get a little frustrated and start to forget the excitement that a book can hold. So I get surprised when a book keeps me up all night reading and evokes physical responses of tension, […]
Recently I listened to
The Good Guy by Dean Koontz My rating: 3 of 5 stars I haven’t read too much by Mr. Koontz, but keep getting recommendations to read his work. This one wasn’t specifically recommended but it was available as an e-audiobook through the library and that’s what I wanted. So I thought I’d give it a […]
Princesses… more princesses… ugh
The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale My rating: 2 of 5 stars I haven’t read the original story, but my volume of Grimm’s Fairy Tales is marked so I can read it later. But reading this as a fairy tale retelling, I can say that it is a lovely story complete with dainty princesses and […]
The Heat of the Moon by Sandra Parshall
The Heat of the Moon by Sandra Parshall My rating: 2 of 5 stars I think I can understand all the positive reviews. The story was good. It was gripping and engaging. But I really had issues with some aspects. It was written in 2006. As far as I can see, the pub date and […]
