Those Who Save Us

Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum. Very interesting story about the German women during World War II - but very graphic and I'm not recommending it.

Spindle's End

Spindle's End by Robin McKinley. I really like Robin McKinley's books. She creates such interesting worlds. This is a spin on "Sleeping Beauty".

Angel Falls

Angel Falls by Kristen Hannah. Pretty good, a woman hits her head and goes into a coma, and wakes with missing memory - interesting.

Firefly Lane

Firefly Lane by Kristen Hannah. After reading Winter Garden and loving it, I'm reading some of Kristen Hannah's earlier books. I'm not quite as impressed with them as I was Winter Garden, but they are still good. Some bad language. This book was good and sad - a thirty year chronicle of two women's friendship.

Moonlight Mile

Moonlight Mile by Dennis Lehane. I'm always slightly disturbed by Dennis Lehane's books, but I always think about them for a long time, and I'm always sucked right into the stories. This is the sequel to Gone Baby Gone, and I didn't like it quite as well, but I liked seeing what happened to the characters from the first book. Be warned of graphic details and language.

Dragonhaven

Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley. I loved this book. But, I love books about dragons. This is a pretty typical dragon book, with a few twists that I really liked. A fourteen your old boy becomes a surrogate mom to a baby dragon. I'm hoping that sometime she will write a sequel.

The Graveyard Book
5 cookies
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Loved this book, about a boy raised in a graveyard by ghosts, and a guardian who seems to be a vampire. Very sweet, despite the morbidness of the setting.

Wicked Appetite

Wicked Appetite by Janet Evanovich. This seems to be the first in a new series starring Diesel from a couple of the Stephanie Plum novels. It was cute and funny like all of her books.

Chasing Harry Winston

Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberg. This is the author of The Devil Wears Prada, and it was a good chick lit book. 3 friends and the changes in their lives. One of the friends really bugged me - she wouldn't be my friend.

Don't Blink by James Patterson and Howard Roughan. I'm not even sure how to explain this one. A man sees something that sucks him into trouble. That works.

Charlie St. Cloud by Ben Sherwood. This wasn't at all what I thought it was. But I really liked it. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I think if it sticks to the story I will really like it.
