Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. Loved it! Last book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I've noticed some people on Facebook saying that they were disappointed, but I wasn't. It isn't as intense as the other 2 books, and is a bit slower paced, but I liked that okay. I was really pleased with the way she ended the "guy" dilemma, and was happy with the way the book ended. One thing I didn't like - how many (and who) ended up dead at the end, although that was very much in harmony with the story as a whole.

House Rules

House Rules by Jodi Picoult. Great book about a young man with Asberger's syndrome, and what happens when his "Social Tudor" is killed. Picoult always does so much research and her characters are always so thought out.

Deception

Deception by Jonathan Kellerman. I have always LOVED the Alex Delaware novels by Mr. Kellerman. Loved them. And I loved this one! For anyone who hasn't ever read them, be warned that they can get quite graphic. But I still love them.

Lost

Lost by Alice Lichtenstein. About a woman married to a man with late-stage dementia. He wanders off into the woods in the middle of winter, and the search for him. Also a strange side side plot involving a young boy who accidentally set a fire and killed his brother. Kind of a weird book.

The Inside Story (Sisters Grimm #8)
3 cookies
The Inside Story by Michael Buckley. This was okay, but I felt like there wasn't much to the story, it was just a time killer until the last book comes out. Hopefully the last one is better than this one was. Luckily, it only took me about 2 hours to read. Not too much time wasted.

Promises to Keep

Promises to Keep by Jane Green. I liked this book, but it did make me cry. It is about a woman, loved by all, who makes it through breast cancer, just to get a different cancer 5 years later, and what happens to her and those around her. Pretty good.

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

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!

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!
