A story about "Total Recall"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Tricia) — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 23:32:16 GMT

Total Recall

by Sara Paretsky

Sara Paretsky hits another home run with this newest V. I. Warshawski novel. I am a very recent discoverer of Ms. Paretsky’s, but she continues to keep me coming back for more. In Total Recall, the combination of flashback sequences and Warshawski’s own original detective flair add up to me eagerly awaiting each new page, yet savoring each one to delay the eventual ending.

Yesterday I Cried: Celebrating The Lessons Of Living And Loving

by Iyanla Vanzant

A very good friend of mine sent me this book. It offered quite a bit of insight into what is going on with me in my life.

A story about "Flesh and Blood (Alex Delaware)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Tricia) — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 23:32:12 GMT

Flesh and Blood (Alex Delaware)

by Jonathan Kellerman

This is actually the first Alex Delaware novel I have ever read. I have only recently begun to be interested in detective novels, but I feel as though I have made several good choices for a beginner, this being one of them. Fast-paced, interesting, and readable, this book is hard to put down. Although a bit implausible in places, the engaging dialogue makes up for any unbelievability.

A story about "J.R.R. Tolkien Boxed Set (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings)"

J.R.R. Tolkien Boxed Set (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings)

by J.R.R. Tolkien

My all-time favorite series. J.R.R. Tolkien is a master storyteller.

A story about "The Mermaid's Song"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Tricia) — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 23:32:09 GMT

The Mermaid's Song

by Marianne Willman

I’m not quite sure what first possessed me to purchase this book. Perhaps a need for “brain candy,” an easy-to-read book, for a change, or perhaps it was the pagan-like undertones seen on the blurb. In any case, I am glad now that I did purchase it. Yes, it is a romance novel, which I normally abhor, but the pace is quick, and the imagery and storyline appropriately romantic.

A story about "The Murder Book (Alex Delaware)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Tricia) — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 23:32:06 GMT

The Murder Book (Alex Delaware)

by Jonathan Kellerman

Yet another Kellerman book for me. The first one I read had me wanting more, so I picked this one up. It ended up being just as excellent as the last one I had read, although I find myself dissatisifed with the way the relationship between Alex and Robin was just left hanging….guess I’ll have to buy the next one. :D

A story about "Marriage of the Rain Goddess: A South African Myth"

Marriage of the Rain Goddess: A South African Myth

by Margaret Olivia Wolfson

This book seems to be a current favorite for my boys. Bright colors, easily flowing words, and a sentimental story make this one a keeper.

A story about "Timeline"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Tricia) — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 23:32:02 GMT

Timeline

by Michael Crichton

I just love this book, as I do most of Chrichton’s works. The imaginary visions it invokes within my mind are compelling and quite provoking. Just contemplating the possibilities makes my mind spin, but in a good way.

A story about "Exile's Song (Darkover)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Tricia) — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 23:32:00 GMT

Exile's Song (Darkover)

by Marion Zimmer Bradley

I am in that strange period where I have no new books to read, so I decided to reread this book. I think I have read it at least 4 other times, it is definitely one of my favorites. Margaret Alton returns to Darkover, remembering nothing about it or her experience with Sharra. Wonderful!

A story about "The Fall of Neskaya (The Clingfire Trilogy, Book 1)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Tricia) — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 23:31:59 GMT

The Fall of Neskaya (The Clingfire Trilogy, Book 1)

by Marion Zimmer Bradley

This is the FIRST new Darkover novel published since Marion Zimmer Bradley’s death, and I was SO happy to find it! It is one of the only Darkover novels I haven’t read yet. I am on pins and needles waiting for a good, quiet time to start this one! :D
/edit/ This book turned out to be WONDERFUL. There were a few inconsistencies, but I think it just came more from it having to be finished by a different author. All in all, a very satisfying read, and I can’t wait for the next one!

A story about "Billy Straight"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Tricia) — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 23:31:57 GMT

Billy Straight

by Jonathan Kellerman

Someone passed this book on to me, and since I had had so much enjoyment from previous Kellerman books, I had a good feeling about this one. And that feeling is turning out to be quite correct! Although the main character isn’t Kellerman’s famous Alex Delaware, the female detective at the center of this one is jsut as engaging, tough, and realistic. And the plight of Billy Straight is truly heartbreaking, particularly if you have a child near to the same age as he is.

A story about "Chromosome 6"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Tricia) — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 23:31:56 GMT

Chromosome 6

by Robin Cook

I don’t usually like Robin Cook’s style, but this particular book kept looking me in the eye until I couldn’t resist. :)
OK…so I haven’t really finished it…it started to bore me to tears. Moved on to Harry Potter instead. LoL

A story about "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Tricia) — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 23:31:55 GMT

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5)

by J. K. Rowling

Ooooooo, I FINALLY get to read this! I bought it for my son, but for some reason he hasn’t been particularly interested, so I scarfed it so I could read it, and I am so glad I did! So far, it’s dark, angry, angtsy, and wonderful. :) And turned out awesome, if still dark, in the end!
