I love all the James Herriot books. Even though the veterinary medicine used then mostly no longer applies now these books still give a wonderful feel for the life of a mixed practice veterinarian.

This book is 1.5 by 2.5 inches in size - not worth the effort!

First in the Beastmaster series. I love Andre Norton books! She wrote the 'old school' scifi stories. Her storyline and character type you just can't find in modern books now. Great writer. Great series.

Divorced parents Liana Robeson and Cullen Lewellyn are forced together once again when their son, 14-year-old Matthew Lewellyn, runs away from home. Their search takes them from San Francisco to Australia, as a multigenerational saga of strife between two families unfolds. At its crux is the Pearl of Great Price, a marble-sized perfect pearl. Many flashbacks reveal the desperate actions of those who have tried to possess the pearl (beginning when, in the early 1900s, Archer Lewellyn murdered his partner, Tom Robeson, rather than share the wealth). Presently, someone seeking revenge is after Matthew. Adding suspenseful tension, all diversions are but a backdrop to the eventual romantic reunion of the missing boy's parents.

A microcosmos of India assembles in two competing caravans to seek the Blood of the Goddess, among them Thomas Chinnery, English prisoner of the Portuguese Inquisition. The Goddess is reputed to live near Bijapur, and so the two parties make their way there--to be united inextricably by the hospitable and wily Sultan Ibrahim of Bijapur. Prophecies, Sufi mysticism, herb lore, and legends gild this exotic historical novel.

This book is very creepy. Even when you think you know where the story is going.... Well read to the end for an interesting twist. The audio version is nicely creepy as well. #PaperBackSwap Facebook page

I love Hamiltion's Anita Blake series but I'm just not sure I like Meredith Gentry. This series is very similar in characters but set in a totally different world. This is the second book in the series. If you like lots of rough sex scenes then you may like this series. I just wish it had more plot action with less emphasis on the sex...

Another excellent book by Weiner! I'm not a mom but I can really get in to her characters. My sister has teenage daughers and I can still remember what it was like to be 'almost' a teen. Great book for mothers and for their daughters! I laughed out loud, I cried, and my husband now thinks I'm nuts. And what a twist at the end! Never saw THAT coming!

An old book but Von Daniken was the first to propose the idea that aliens have not only visited earth but may have seeded humans here to start with. Interesting read.

Considering Kate is a one of the Stanislaski series. Kate Kimball, the daughter of Natasha and Spencer (from Taming Natasha), is a ballet dancer, who has come home to open a dance school. Brody O'Connell is the contractor who fixes up the building for Kate's school. Kate and Brody automatically hit it off, but Brody is leary of a relationship because he is a widower with a 6 year old son. Kate is flirtatious and pushes Brody to take her out, Brody on the other hand is trying to resist her, although he wants her. Another winner from Nora Roberts.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! An angel - looking like Micheal Jordon - intercedes in the life of Mr. Raymond Neeman. Mr. Neeman is given a chance to redeem his soul by trying to undo all the pain he has caused in his life. The surprise ending has you cheering for him. Humorous, complicated, and uplifting - a great book for anyone.

Terrible terrible book! Pure hardcore porn. I have nothing against porn if its done well but this is terrible. A very loose excuse of a plot. I suspect it is written by a man since the sex scenes are definitely NOT how a women would view them. Mostly bondage and domination sex. And that is even boring! Not worth the read definitely not worth buying!!

I loved Darkfall.The premise of the book is a Voodoo vendetta against a Mafia Drug family by a Haitian drug dealer who wants revenge for the death of his brother. How he kills his victims is very interesting, sending out an army of goblin like creatures with large claws that are virtually indestructable.
The police officer assigned to the case gets involved and the Voodoo army turns thier sights on to his family. With that being said, the chase is on. The last 3rd of the novel is pure chase and breakneck speed, and it is fun to follow along.

Starts out kinda silly but by the end you want to read more... I guess that's what makes a good storyline written by a good author.
