FALLING by Jane Green (6/18/2016)
As I began this book, I was a little bored but realized it wasn't the book but the fact that I have been a little over saturated lately in my reading of biographies and non-fiction. Once I realized that and settled into the genre of chick-lit, I started to appreciate the …more

Crazy Blood (12/16/2015)
I am not at all a fan of snow skiing, so the inordinate amount of space devoted to detailed descriptions of the mountains, ski runs and the sports involved in general made for a big yawn for me in reading this book. If I skip over those things and just look at the story …more
Hunters in the Dark
Hunters in the Dark
by Lawrence Osborne
Hunters in the Dark (11/6/2015)
This took a little bit of tenacity to get through the first 60-75 pages, but if you'll be patient you'll be handsomely rewarded! Highly reminiscent of Graham Greene novels, this book was a very different type of thriller. Once I got into the meat of the plot, I was hooked. …more
Dangerous When Wet
Dangerous When Wet: A Memoir
by Jamie Brickhouse
DANGEROUS WHEN WET (3/6/2015)

Although the writing was ethereal and lovely, this was one of the most irritating books I have ever read. I almost put it down several times as the story seemed redundant and drawn out. Honestly, by the end of it, I hoped all the characters would drown in The Well and be …more

A Kim Jong-Il Production: The Extraordinary True Story of a Kidnapped Filmmaker, His Star Actress, and a Young Dictator's Rise to Power
by Paul Fischer
A Kim Jong-IL Production (12/13/2014)
Not sure what I expected from this book, but it was, for sure, a very educational experience! At times I even laughed out loud at the nonsensical acts of leadership and blatant lies fed to the general public by North Korean leaders .... and they were believed! It is hard, …more
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis: The Untold Story
by Barbara Leaming
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis: The Untold Story (10/30/2014)
I have read quite a few books about various Kennedy family members, including several specifically about John and Jackie Kennedy. Reading this book intrigued me as I couldn't imagine what else could be written about this former First Lady. I was a little put off that the …more
