A Man of His Own
A Man of His Own
by Susan Wilson
A Man of His Own by Susan Wilson (8/27/2013)
Give me a book with a dog as a main character and, in my opinion, you have the makings of a great story. I should mention I am the owner of three dogs and two cats, so there is a little prejudice here. Regardless, this was a great read with a lot more going on than just the …more
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry: A Novel
by Rachel Joyce
Harold and Maureen (7/23/2012)
I really loved this book. It was beautiful and funny, an introspective story that says it’s never too late to discover life and love again. A letter from an old colleague set Harold Fry on an improbable quest to walk across England and save an old friend from death’s door. …more
Sacre Bleu
Sacre Bleu: A Comedy d'Art
by Christopher Moore
Sacre Blue (2/29/2012)
I have read all of Christopher Moore’s books. They are generally irreverent, full of wit and fairly absurd in the best of ways. That being said, Sacre Blue didn’t too much deviate from the norm. For me, it started very slow, to the point that I had to force my way through …more
The Kitchen Daughter
The Kitchen Daughter: A Novel
by Jael McHenry
The Kitchen Daughter (3/31/2011)
I truly enjoyed reading this book. I picked it up and couldn’t put it down. I was absolutely fascinated with Ginny. I loved the way she described food with such passion and admired her dogged persistence in trying to uncover the family secrets through wholly unorthodox …more
The Stuff That Never Happened
The Stuff That Never Happened
by Maddie Dawson
Stuff Never Happens (8/31/2010)
Annabelle married Grant McKay when she was so very young and still had so much to learn about herself and her new husband. But like any journey, the road is fraught with obstacles and detours. Annabelle’s side trip was an extramarital affair that defined both her and Grant’ …more
The Lovers
The Lovers: A Novel
by Vendela Vida
The Lovers (4/9/2010)
As with all new authors, I didn’t know what to expect from Ms. Vida. The premise sounded interesting and the story took place in Turkey, a country I really don’t know too much about. I was quite surprised to find that once I started the book, I couldn’t put it down. Yvonne, …more
Serena
Serena: A Novel
by Ron Rash
Serena by Ron Rash (9/10/2009)
In this novel, Serena and George Pemberton are portrayed as ruthless, scheming and greedy timber barons who willingly discard human life and the environment in their pursuit of wealth.

Set in the Appalachian mountains during the Great Depression when labor was cheap and more …more
Gifts of War
Gifts of War: A Novel
by Mackenzie Ford
Gifts of War (4/13/2009)
Gifts of War is a touching love story set against the brutal backdrop of the first world war. It’s the story of a man whose depth of love for a forbidden woman is clothed in a dark secret and portrays the lengths we will go for those we love. The story line navigates …more
Eve
Eve: A Novel of the First Woman
by Elissa Elliott
Eve (1/7/2009)
I was quite intrigued by the premise of this book and was not disappointed. It’s a beautifully written story from the perspective of the women in Adam and Eve’s family. Even though you know the outcome of what happened to them and their male children, it was still a …more
Findings
Findings: Faye Longchamp Mysteries, No. 4
by Mary Anna Evans
Findings by Mary Anna Evans (5/15/2008)
I am quite surprised by how I was absolutely smitten with this book and regret that
Findings is my first reading in this series about the archaeologist Faye Longchamp.

I would have loved to watch the characters develop over the first three books
particularly the relationship …more
Desert Cut
Desert Cut: A Lena Jones Mystery
by Betty Webb
Desert Cut (1/8/2008)
I really enjoyed reading Desert Cut by Betty Webb. Although it's the sixth book in the Lena Jones PI series, there was enough information about the back story that the book was able to stand on it's own. Ms. Webb's storyline dealt with young, murdered girls whose deaths …more
The Critic
The Critic: The Second of the Enzo Files
by Peter May
The Critic (11/12/2007)
It took me about 15 pages to get hooked into the story but from there, I never looked back. It was so very easy to embrace all the characters particularly the lead, Enzo MacLeod, who was enchanting in brusque kind of way. I liked that the author was able to weave in a story …more
