This was a good true crime book in which Rule not only wrote about the life and crimes of Ted Bundy, but also wrote about how she was fooled by him for many years.

This was a good book introducing me to the character Acorna. I liked how Calum, Gill and Rafik learned about her powers and how Acorna and her friends made a difference on Kezdet. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Acorna’s Quest.

I enjoyed re-reading this book as it was one of my favorite books growing up. As I read, I smiled at remembering Mandy’s climbing over the wall, and even though I knew how it would end, I still worried when she was in the cottage while she was sick.

This was a very good literary thriller set in London, Harvard and the American southwest. I liked the mix of literary clues set in archives and libraries.

Robin McKinley does a wonderful job portraying the Sleeping Beauty/Briar Rose fairy tale in a fresh light. By delving into the people’s attempt to thwart the evil fairy Pernicia, she expands the story so that when I got to the inevitable confrontation, I was rooting for Rosie and her friends, both human and animal.

I liked this mystery set at the “Body Farm” and in the Appalachian mountains. I especially liked the interactions between Brockton and police officer Art Bohanan as they work together to solve the murder of the woman in the cave. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Flesh and Bone.

I don’t know how many times I’ve read this book, but reading it again for the Childhood Favourites Reading Challenge was a joy. Even though I knew what was going to happen, I still laughed when I read about Stuart inside the piano, and I felt sad when his friend Margalo the bird left home.

This was a thought-provoking look at how faith can encourage helping others, promoting peace and being better stewards of the planet.

This was a very interesting look at how a people’s beliefs and laws were challenged by some outside observers and by ancient secrets coming to the front. I liked how the Questioner’s curiosity led her and others to the truth about Newholme.

This was a beautifully written book about storytelling, imagination, change and people’s resistance to change. I liked the interaction between the narrator’s father and the village members. I also liked how the narrator told the audience how sometimes telling stories can backfire when one wants to tell the truth.
