I & Claudius: travels with my Cat by Clare de Vries Finished this book this afternoon. It turned out to be a pretty good read. I enjoyed it all the way. This was a totally unknown book I saw here and requested it on a lark. Last Edited on: 2/6/18 1:27 PM ET - Total times edited: 2 |

Finished this month: Shadow and Silk by Ann Maxwell [Elizabeth Lowell's former pen name]- Professor Dani Warren is trying to obtain a rare and precious piece of Tibetan silk to preserve it from destruction. Shane Crowe is after the same silk to return it to its rightful owners, the Azure monks. A woman who heads The Harmony is after the same silk, but for nefarious reasons. A fun read. Plain Jane by Fern Michaels--- Jane Lewis has always been a "plain Jane" [in her mind anyway], so when handsome Michael Sorenson, a guy she had a crush on in college, wants to take her out she has her doubts. Why? She is now a successful psychiatrist with her own talk show. But she is also plagued by guilt concerning what happened to another college friend. Interesting story line with some romance and mystery thrown in. The Darling Dahlias and the Texas Rose by SusanWittig Albert --- The Dahlias garden club of Darling, Alabama is in charge of this year's Watermelon Festival. The highlight of the week-end will be Lily Dare and her Dare Devil Flying Circus. A look at the 1930s Depression era in a small rural town and how people coped. I love this series!! Deep Dish by Mary Kay Andrews --- A fun read as are all of Andrews' books. Gina Foxton has a regional cooking show on PBS and has a chance to go national if she can win a cook-off with Tate Moody, the 'hunk' that has a cooking show on another channel. Forbidden Ground by Karen Harper --- 2nd in the Cold Creek series. Anthropologist Kate Lockwood has come back to Cold Creek to be in her sister's wedding and also to try to get permission to excavate the Adena burial mound on Grant Mason's property. Grant doesn't want the mound entered, but the reason he gives Kate isn't the real one, and then when tragic events begin to happen they both begin to question why. The ending is a total surprise. Good read. The Horse You Came In On by Martha Grimes --- Scotland Yard's Inspector Richar Jury comes to Amertica along with Melrose Plant and Sargeant Wiggins to investigate the death of a friend's nephew. While they really have no authority, the police in the U.S. cooperate because they are at a dead end. As always an interesting read. The Book of Old Houses by Sarah Graves -- Jacobia Tiptree has sent an old book to an expert to authenticate, but when he is murdered and the book disappears, "Jake" and her friend Ellie set out to find the answer. But there is someone else who is also looking for answers. Fun series. One False Move by Harlan Coben --- Myron Bolitar is representing Brenda Slaughter, a member of the women's professional basketball league. She's being followed and getting threatening phone calls, because she's looking for her mother who deserted her as a child. Surprise ending, good read! High Country Fall by Margaret Maron --- Judge Deborah Knott is in the North Carolina mountains, filling in for a judge on vacation. A young man is in court charged with voluntary manslaughter, and while there seems to be evidence he's guilty, his friends claim he couldn't be. Deborah starts to ask questions on her own, and when other events happen his guilt seems more in doubt.

I have no idea why this book was not a best seller: If You Lived Here First book in a long time that I was caught from the first page! Great characters, great writing, great story line. I give it 5 stars as does my two neighbors who read it after me.

I read The Bird's Nest by Shirley Jackson about a young woman with multiple personalities. I was quite disappointed in it. I think perhaps because it was written in 1954 and didn't have any newer psychology in it. I also read I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh and give it 4.5 Stars,. I am trying to get everything else she had written. |

Reckless Creed by Alex Kava, not the best n the series, but I’ll still read others Betrayed by Lisa Scottoline for a book club. I’ll finish it but will never read another in this series (Rosato and DiNunzio). The main character is incredibly annoying and I didn’t really care.

The Alluring Target: In search of the secrets of Central Asia edited by Kenneth Wimmel. travel narratives. This book is not what I thought it was. I thought it was going to be travel narratives but it is actually a collection of short biographical sketches of famous explorers who went to central asia. Some were the first European to see some of the areas they explored. Last Edited on: 2/25/18 6:02 PM ET - Total times edited: 2 |
