Hush by Kate White. I liked this book, and I thought it was a good mystery. There was an unnecessary sex scene - blech!

Tallgrass
5 cookies
Tallgrass by Sandra Dallas. I need to look up more books by Sandra Dallas, both of the books I have read of hers I loved. (The Persian Pickle Club was the other.) This book is about a town located by a Japanese relocation camp, and the affects it has on a young girl and her family. This the second book about the Relocation Camps in the last few weeks, and I find myself fascinated. Great book!

A Reliable Wife

A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick. I really liked the idea of this book, the mystery of it, and I liked the way he writes, but there was a lot of graphic scenes, and it ended up being disturbing instead of intriguing.

Fade

Fade by Lisa McMann - the sequel to Wake. I liked this better than the first book. There is one more in the series, I am interested to see how she ends this story.

Shelter Me

Shelter Me by Juliette Fay. Loved this book! It is about a new widow, and how she goes about picking up the pieces of her life and moves forward. It sounds really depressing, but it was very endearing and I just loved it.

Hens Dancing

Hens Dancing by Raffaella Barker. It was hard for me to get into this book, written from a journal perspective of a newly divorced woman who is raising her three kids in the English countryside. But I ended up really liking it. It made me laugh.

I Capture the Castle

I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith, who is the author of 101 Dalmations, which was one of my favorite books growing up. Cute, sweet little book.

The Invisible Wall
4 cookies
The Invisible Wall by Harry Bernstein. I really liked this, a memoir about growing up in northern England, Christians on one side of the street, Jews on the other, the Invisible Wall separating the two sides. The young boy's older sister fell in love with a Christian boy across the street. Plus I love anything English!

Worst Case

Worst Case by James Patterson. I have always really liked James Patterson books, and I am really liking these ones about the character Michael Bennett. How can you not love a character that has 10 children?

Never Tell a Lie

Never Tell a Lie by Hallie Ephron. A suspense novel - this was really good. I could see where it was going, but it certainly kept my interest. I stayed up an hour longer than I should have finishing it.

Fablehaven 5

Fablehaven: Keys to the Demon Prison by Brandon Mull. These are really great books, and I was super excited when our friend Kylie lent me her copy of this newest one, since they don't have it at the library yet! If you haven't read the Fablehaven books, do it. This was the last one in the series.

Water for Elephants

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I really loved the story in this book, something about it just drew me in. However, there are several graphic scenes that really could have been left out, so I am only giving it 4 cookies.

Wake
3 1/2 cookies
Wake by Lisa McMann. This book was an interesting premise - a girl who gets sucked into other people's dreams - whether she is awake or asleep. It is a YA book. By the way, I hate YA books that have foul language - that seems to be typical and it makes me crazy.

Captivate

Captivate by Carrie Jones. This is the sequel to Need. I liked it better than the first book actually. At the end though, I realized there is yet another book, but it is not out yet - and I hate waiting for books to come out! Hopefully it will be soon, and I can see what happens.
