Dune Road

3 cookies
Dune Road by Jane Green. Not as good as the other Jane Green book I just read. Another "relationship" book - only not as compelling.

The Beach House

4 cookies
The Beach House by Jane Green. I loved the people in this book. It had some twists and turns that were good. A "relationship" book - all about how people get along and relate to each other.

Nightwalker

3 cookies
Nightwalker by Heather Graham. OK book about people who see dead people and try to help them. I thought it would be better than it was. I would get frustrated about how dumb the woman character would act - duh, someone is trying to kill you - don't wander off by yourself!

Intent to Kill

4 cookies
Intent to Kill by James Grippando. Pretty good murder mystery. I liked the characters a lot.

Moloka'i

4 cookies
Moloka'i by Alan Brennert. A fascinating look into life in 1890's Hawaii, and the leper colony there. This is fictional, but based on real events and people. I never knew anything about the leper colony, and what life was like for those people. Very interesting!

I am Not a Serial Killer

4 cookies
I am Not a Serial Killer by Dan Wells. Interesting book, a young man knows he is a sociopath, and what he does to rein in those tendencies, until a actual serial killer appears in his town.

Letter to My Daughter

4 cookies
Letter to My Daughter by George Bishop. Pretty good, just one long letter from a mother to her daughter, when she goes missing overnight.

The Last Olympian

4 cookies
The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan, last book in the "Lightning Thief"Series - Love them!

Gone

4 cookies
Gone by Lisa McMann - the third in the series, after Wake and Fade. Pretty good books.

To Green Angel Tower

4 cookies
To Green Angel Tower by Tad Williams. This has to be one of the longest (If not THE longest) books I have ever read. It is stinking huge! It took forever to get through it, but I really liked it. It is the last in the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series. Really good fantasy series!
