This is a book that tells the story of Billy. He dies and then "visits" his sister with his experience of what happens to him or his essence after he has left his earthly body. the Afterlife of Billy Fingers Annie Kagan 4 Interesting Well researched and informative about the horrifying state of The story of stuff Annie Leonard 5 our planet and what we should be doing about it Hard to imagine a modern woman being prepared to fill the heroines role in an Eastern culture. For a romance there wasn't The Desert Kings Secret Heir Annie Wrst 3 much of one here. Any romance seemed incidental. this is a harrowing and important book however I felt quite conflicted while I read it. It is very graphic and I wondered The Incest Diary anonymous 3 about the triggering effect of the content. The Incest Diary Anonymous 3 Interesting, eye-opening

The Duchess Danielle Steel 5 Danielle Steele stories are becoming boring and predictable. I long for her style back in her beginning years where her stories The Good Fight Danielle Steel 2 could make you weep with joy or sadness. Undercover Danielle Steel 4 The hidden light of Northern Fires Daren Wang 4 Hell's Corner David Baldacci 5 Well written, as usual.

Liberty Street Dianne Warren 4 Enjoyed this novel. A good summer read Hen of the Baskervilles Donna Andrews 4 Unusually funny The good, the bad and the emus Donna Andrews 4 What a family Not one of her best mysteries about crime and murder in Venice but an insight into the Mafia , business and money. also if someone is interested in the Greek and Latin philosophers there About Face Donna Leon 3 is a primer. A Venetian police story that outlines the frustration of the bureaucracy and getting things done through friends rather than official channels.Amusing how it pokes fun at the disorganization of the system while at the same time a family Blood from a Stone Donna Leon 5 story and an onlookers view of Venice.

A book about how social media can sway people's perceptions. Also how friendships change and morph through tragedy and With Malice Eileen Cook 3 the need to identifying feelings to see the truth. THE NIGHT TRADE EISLER 4 12 mile straight Eleanor Henderson 3 Blue Bistro Elin Hilderbrand 4 I notice there are so many similarities in this narrative that lend The Gossip Elin Hilderbrand 5 themselves to Penticton Life The Identicals Elin Hilderbrand 3 The Perfect Couple Elin Hilderbrand 5 Winter Solstice Elin Hilderbrand 5 I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more works by this Canadian author. A young Saskatchewan girl eagerly joins the war effort, only to become disillusioned by the destruction. When tragedy strikes, she struggles to move forward, eventually finding the strength within herself. I just finished reading about the life of Churchill during the war years,so perhaps the previous book helped enhance and bring this Bird's Eye View Elinor Florence 4 entire story to life. An Affair to Dismember Elise Sax 5 Well written. Amusing. Entertaining. From Barcelona with Love Elizabeth Adler 3 A good romantic mystery. Well written Complicated flow in storyline and too much back and forth in The Dream Lover Elizabeth Berg 2 the time line
The Punishment She Deserves Elizabeth George 5 Another great read with Inspector Lynley and Barbara Havers! It had an iffy start but ended up showing Ms. Peters skills in Naked Once More Elizabeth Peters 4 character development and twists in the plot. Murder in the secret garden Ellery Adams 3 Interesting, pretty good
While the stories were well written, they didn't hold my interest. Partly because I prefer long stories vs short stories and partly because the stories were very cut and dried. Having lived among Native people I get what she was writing about. And having grown up in a male dominated society, I appreciate Ms. Carr's struggles. I was most intrigued by the fact that she The Emily Carr Collection Emily Carr 3 wrote so much when I have only known her for her paintings. Where We Belong Emily Giffin 4 A fun quick read Christmas in eternity springs Emily march 5 great series Dreamweave Trial Emily March 5 Nightingale Way Emily march 5 love this series Reunion Pass Emily march 5 Teardrop Lane Emily march 5 The first kiss of spring Emily March 5 A stardance summer Emily Mardi 5 Any minute now Eric Van Lustbaden 3 Blood trust Eric Van Lustbaden 3 Father Night Eric Van Lustbaden 4 The fallen Eric Van Lustbaden 3 Erica Armstrong Never Caught Dunbar 5 Inspiring true story Love Stories Erich Segal 3 Some Whimsical!

Kellerman is usually better than this. Texas Heat Fern Michaels - The measure of my days Florida Maxwell Scott 4 Interesting book about old age by an 82 year old woman Tales of the Kootneis Fred J Smyth 3 Newspaper man's historical stories 1865-1935 My grandmother asked me to say she's sorry Frederik Backman 5 Loved the whimsical nature of this story!! Should have been good but I found it irritatingly academic and Queen of the underworld Gail Godwin 3 over informative and really weird ending A Moment Like This George 4 Game of thrones George R R Martin 5 Kiss me hello Grace Burrowes 5 Book three in series, wish there was a book 4! The first kiss of spring Grace Burrowes 5 MORE THAN 5/5 Rachel's Flowers Green 4 Don't Look Back Gregg Hurwitz 5 could not put down!! Beautifully written. Wonderful descriptions of French countryside. Gorgeous food descriptions. Wish we had her other two books- The Color of Tea and The Season of Salt and Honey. A French Wedding Hanna Tunnicliffe 5 Utterly charming. I hated to finish it!!!! Season of Salt and Honey Hanna Tunnicliffe - The Colour of Tea Hanna Tunnicliffe 5 To kill a mockingbird Harper Lee 5 Washington Square Harvey James 5 Descriptive eloquence, excellent character development Ghost of a potion Heather Blake 3 Light reading H is for Hawk Helen MacDonald 3 Interesting story. Great descriptions but can drag a bit. The summer before the war Helen Simonsen 4 A wonderful read The return of the dancing I really enjoy Scandinavian murder mysteries. Mankell is one of master Henning Makell 5 the best authors The Beach Quilt Holly Chamberlin 4 The Husband and Heir Holmes 4 In the company of others Ian Karon 5 Very good book Fleshmarket Close Ian Rankin 2 Too "slow" for my taste The Scottish accent of the reader kept me engaged in trying to Standing in Another Man's follow the storyline to the very end. Repeated the first two Grave Ian Rankin 4 discs when I reached the end Fates edge Ilona Andrews 5 lots of romance and action The book dealt with some tough issues of PTSD and dementia with a very human group of characters. It had a few characters that were almost too perfect but in total the book showed that Tangled Webs Irene Hannon 4 life has big challenges. Sleep No More Iris Johansen 5 Always a great read... love Ms Johansens novels Stalemate Iris Johansen 5 Eve Duncan... always a good read Moving Target J. A. Jance 4 Enjoyable booked4murder j.c.eaton 5 Echo's in Death J.D. Robb 3 A futuristic crime thriller! J.D. Robb (Nora Brief book (excerpt?) scenarios hard to wrap mind around Taken in Death Roberts) - (writing into the future). It was hard to wrap my mind around this "50 years in the J.D. Robb/Nora future" scenario. Evil was still evil, no matter what the date or Ceremony in Death Roberts 4 decade! Although about a troubled sensitive youth, this book has something for all ages and can be read several times over the Catcher in the Rye J.D. Salinger 5 years with no fear of boredom. First portion okay. Love story similar to the type told by F. Scott Fitzgerald. But "Seymour an Introduction" was pretty Raise High the Roof Beam, slow going. Very verbose. Difficult to stay interested in Carpenters and Seymour an Seymour due to author's painstaking wordy descriptions of Introduction J.D. Salinger 3 Seymour's every single trait and every single feature. I'VE READ MANY OF HER BOOKS BUT THIS ONE ABOUT ALI REYNOLDS IS LIKE NO OTHER. SHE HAS ENTERED THE AREA OF CYBER BULLYING AND AI ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMBINED WITH A LESSON ON WHAT NEW TECHNOLOGY CAN MAN OVERBOARD J.J.JANCE 4 DO PLUS A GRIPPING ADVENTURE. Harry Potter and the Chamber Reading the series out loud to the girls - they are always of Secrets J.K. Rowling 5 begging for "just one more page" The first in the Lieutenant Jackson series. Written many years ago but only published now. A little unpolished but a good introduction to the characters that make this series of mysteries Field of Graves J.T. Ellison 4 so popular. The Santangelos Jackie Collins 5 Great setting for storyline to unfold. Interesting characters This one kept me up all night wondering whether the main Cage of Stars Jacquelyn Mitchard 5 character was going to exact revenge. . . Lying with Strangees James Grippando 4 The Jealous Kind James Lee Burke 5 One of my favourite authors Wayfaring Stranger James Lee Burke 3 Throughout the novel Patterson strove for a surprise ending. Unfortunately, he didn't achieve his aspuration. However, this is 1st to die James Patterson 4 my 1st Patterson, and I've started a 2nd 2nd Chance James Patterson 3 Male author, female characters? 11th Hour James Patterson 5 Good, as always Don't blink james patterson 4 Will look out for other books Hope to die James Patterson 5 Always good Great little read, early Patterson book's are different from Sam's letters to Jennifer James Patterson 5 current ones Could not put it down. All of James Patterson's novel are like The Big Bad Wolf. James Patterson 5 that. He is a master story teller. The Family Lawyer James Patterson 3 Not his best work, disappointing The People vs Alex Cross James Patterson 5 Tick tock James Patterson 5 Good plot, easy to read , suspenseful right to the end. Toys James Patterson 5 Different, but good Woman of God james patterson 4 i nice new perspective. Woman of God James Patterson 5 Couldn't put it down! :D Zoo James Patterson 5 Want more ice hunt james rollins 2 Dust to Dust James Thompson 4 At times I found this novel to be quite slow, in fact I skipped several full pages at different times throughout. The storyline itself was interesting enough, but probably not a book I will be The Sunshine Sisters Jane Green 2 recommending. The Dry Jane Harper 4 Tricky Twenty-Two Janet Evanovich 4 Her books are always fun to read Janet Evanovich & Janet Evanovich always delivers. The Husband List Dorien Kelly 5 Very entertaining; easy read. The art of hearing heartbeats Jan-Phillipp Sendker 5 loved it! Mennonite in a little Black Dress Janzen 3 This is a group of five short stories written by JD Robb; Mary Blayney; Elaine Fox; Mary Kay McCommas & R C Ryan. They were all about some kind of magic or fairy tale. They were all very well written and a good read. Mirror, Mirror JD Robb 5 I will definitely be checking out these other authors. Glass Castle Jeanette Walls 5 Calling invisible women Jeanne Ray 3 1st Time read Dare to Lie Jen McLaughlin 5 Unlikely romance but steamy enough to take your mind off 'Tis the Season Jennifer Gracen 3 reality. A Debt Paid in the Marriage Nice relaxing read. Plot could have been more fleshed out in Bed Jennifer Hayward 3 some respects. jar of hearts Jennifer Hillier 4 great story JAR OF HEARTS JENNIFER HILLIER 5 AWESOME BOOK LOVED IT All fall down Jennifer Weiner 3 I was expecting a 'funny' book but this was quite a serious Fly Away Home Jennifer Weiner 4 story..really good.

It helped me to understand my son challenges A Full Life with Autism Jeremy Sicile-Kira 5 so much more. Summer at Mustang Ridge Jesse Hayworth 5 Jesse is an award winning playwright and the son of novelists Jonathan and Faye Kellerman. I first read Jesse when he teamed up on a few books with his dad. Now I read Jesse Kellerman because he is an outstanding novelist in his own right. I loved "Trouble" and his other novels. All of the characters are compelling and relatable, the dialogue is tight with some witty moments that lightened some of the intensity and seriousness of this twisty mystery thriller. This book will Trouble Jesse Kellerman 5 keep you reading well past bedtime! It had to be you Jill Shalvis 5 Love this author Not a light hearted romance. Female character dealing with It's in his Kiss Jill Shalvis 2 trauma from a rape. Shows the importance of family and that honesty is always Lost and Found Sisters Jill Shalvis 5 best. Lucky in Love Jill Shalvis 5 Love this series Macbeth Jo Nesbo 4 Blue Nights Joan Didion 4 Leaves one with food for thought on loss and aging Finding Casey Jo-Ann Mapson 4 A good read felt the ending left the story unfinished An Unsuitable Match Joanna Trollope 3 I like Joanna Trollope. The takes ordinary people and writes and interesting story. This time about four university friends who have kept in touch and at the age of 47 their lives begin to unravel in the most usual way and how they cope and change CITY OF FRIENDS JOANNA TROLLOPE 4 and go on. a good read. The Soldier ‘s Wife Joanna Trollope - I find her novels very good and true to like settings! A bit heavy going at times... don’t understand some of the British sayings but enjoyed it.. she always writes true in life The Soldiers Wife Joanna Trollope 3 settings Small great things Jodi Picoult 5 Excellent read Just One Damned Thing After Another Jodi Taylor 5 Really liked it Marry Me by Sundown Johanna Lindsey 4 Ford County John Grisham 3 I like Grisham's later novels, not this ford county john grisham 3 Gray Mountain John Grisham 3 Worst Grisham book I've ever read Rogue Lawyer John Grisham 5 Love legal intricacies and beyond boundaires behaviour Sycamore Row John Grisham 5 Superb sequel This may have been an abridged version--some details of story The Broker John Grisham 4 seemed shorted The confession John Grisham 5 the rooster bar john grisham 5 fun read, withna happy ending Darkness, Darkness John Harvey - Certain Prey John Sandford 5 Good author for likes.

Sparked a conversation around the campfire over the Me Before You Jojo Moyes 5 right to die. Missoula Jon Krakauer 5 The Shattered Lens Jonathan Apeyrie 4 Guilt Jonathan Kellerman 4 I like Kellerman Night Moves Jonathan Kellerman 5 Great whodunnit! Twisted Jonathan Kellerman 5 Page turner Jonathan and Jesse A Measure of Darkness Kellerman 5 Fairlights Jones 3 Each book read or not read is a matter of personal preference; everyone has their own taste and what one likes another may not. Having said that; I didn't make it very far into this book. An author has to have a writing style which flows; and/or characters that draw me in. Nest of Vipers Jory Sherman 2 I did not find this the case with this book. She's not there Joy Fielding 4 Nice feeling for bond with a sister.

Dangerous games Lora Leigh 5 Love this author Heat Seeker Lora Leigh 5 hidden agendas Lora Leigh 5 Not really sure how this two books in one qualifies as a cowboy story. Near as i can tell there is next to no portrayal of cowboy life or more importantly values. The second story was just plain weird; I can't decide whether the author was trying for a supernatural romance and then could commit at the last minute Rugged Texas Cowboy Lora Leigh 2 or what. Two in one romance. Not very well written. Plot for second book Rugged Texas Cowboy Lora Leigh 2 is implausible. Burning Midnight Loren D. Estleman - Ballad of Black Bart Loren Esteman 3 A slight disappointment from good author Black and white ball Loren Estleman 5 If lucky I get a "5" two or three times a year Now and always Lori Copeland 3 I thought it was okay Too much Temptation Lori Foster 2 A fun read.

Unnatural Selection Mara Hvistendahl 5 causes thinking Boston Mob Marc Songini 5 Gets to the good stuff in the early chapters. I watched the miniseries first, and then read the book second, just so I could understand what was going on first. This is definitely a book I recommend! Grace Marks is a mystery wrapped in an enigma because you do not know if what she says is true, and also if she is guilty of the crime she committed. What also shocked me is that the characters and the crime that took place actually happened in real life. If you like mysteries, a puzzle without a solution, and a book that makes you think and doesn't give you answers, this is the book Alias Grace Margaret Atwood 4 for you!

I was intrigued by the Sadow Tracer Meg Gardiner 5 storyline and finished it over 2 brief days. One criticism I have is the author writes as if Indigenous people no longer participate in certain cultural practices which is inaccurate. For example, the author uses the past tense when discussing indigenous peoples' use of wild plants when in fact, many indigenous people continue to gather local wild plants for Residential Schools Melanie Florence 3 food and medicine today.

The man who boards in the family's attic becomes guardian along with a diverse cast of characters who drop by the house at all hours, making themselves quite at home. Lies are discovered, which prompts the question, why all of the deceit? Questions will be answered, only to bring about even more questions.

Mr. Mercedes Stephen King 5 Excellent story At about two-thirds of the way through, the story took on the kind of creepiness that only Stephen King can produce. I couldn't read it before bed after that but couldn't put it down during daylight! A great mystery with characters that I would The Outsider Stephen King 5 love to visit again.

Enjoyable read with three daughters love stories melded Daughters of the Bride Susan Mallery 3 together. I didn't like this one as much as the others she's written in the series.

Mockingjay Suzanne Collins 4 I didn't like this one as much as the first two, but its still good! Instead of just doing a separate review of each of the three books in this series, I thought I would just put them all together into one because I find it hard to separate one book from the others. Even though it is hard to picture Katniss Everdeen without thinking of the great Jennifer Lawrence, this is a heroine who accomplishes a lot before she even reaches the age of 18. These books go through her terrible journey of having to be in a world where she is forced to kill people for other people's entertainment, and then gets caught in a war and be the heroine she doesn't really want to be. I loved these books, but I thought the love triangle between her, Gale, and Peeta was ridiculous, but if you haven't read these books by Hunger Games Trilogy Suzanne Collins 5 now, you definitely should!
