GWENDY'S BUTTON BOX BY STEPHEN KING : is Stephen King's newest "short" novel. The story centers around Gwendy who unfortunately lives in Castle Rock,( we Constant Readers know ALL about the environment in Castle Rock). She meets Richard Farris (RF & Randall Flagg's pseudonym) who offers her a most unusual box. From there we see Gwendy grow up, & no I wont give the story away here!
This is a short novella, 164 pages, but I really enjoyed the weirdness of the plot . Being one of Mr. Kings Constant Readers I have always enjoyed his short stories so GWENDY'S BUTTON BOX is no exception.

THE TUMBLING TURNER SISTERS BY JULIETTE FAY
The Turners have a major problem: The year; 1919 & Mr.Turner cant work! The Turners dont have the money to pay the rent or for food! Mrs Turner has an idea, vaudeville! The Turner girls are young, pretty and have very short skirts!
THE TUMBLING TURNERS SISTERS BY JULIETTE FAY is a historical fiction novel of the life of vaudeville stars. The author has created for us a fictional family that I could have sworn by the excellent research and writing were real people. Told by two of the Turner girls, Gert and Winnie, the Turners travel the vaudeville circuit performing tumbling gymnastic routine. We meet Nell, whose is a new widow of a WWI soldier with a new child, Mrs.Turner, who dreams up & keeps the girls going from place to place ,and the rest of the family. We get to meet the people who made up the vaudeville entertainers : the French singer,the black tap dancer & many many more performers. We get a behind the stage look at what was Vaudeville!
Like I said before, THE TUMBLING TURNER SISTERS was so excellently researched & the characters are so vivid, I kept having to remind myself this was fiction!

THE QUIET COUP:A POLITICAL THRILLER BY ROB LUBITZ
THE QUIET COUP: A POLITICAL THRILLER BY ROB LUBITZ is the third in a series but can be read as a stand alone book as I did.
What a rollercoaster ride of a book! The twists and turns of THE QUIET COUP kept me reading way past my bedtime! I think I even forgot to breath while reading this its so good! What I love about this book is that it starts out so casually so peaceful, a picnicking couple who are obviously very much in love, & ends up with death, CIA plots, crooked Congressmen , car chases, shootings, and a whole mixed bag of adventure! What really scared me about this book is that it could be taken from reality, (maybe it is who knows)
If you like your thrillers fast and furious I highly recommend THE QUIET COUP BY ROB LUBITZ.

ROSEMARYS BABY BY IRA LEVIN
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of ROSEMARY'S BABY BY IRA LEVIN . ROSEMARY'S BABY is a classic in the horror genre. As you read this book you may wonder what is so scary about a young husband and wife living in an apartment building in New York? The more you read this book the more weird seems to be occurring, and I warn you , read it all so you can get the full weird effect! I love this book and all of Mr. Levin's books. He takes a rather mundane subject, like a couple living in New York and twists and turns it into the extreme bizarre! If you have read ROSEMARY'S BABY before or its your first shot at it I highly recommend it!

A DEBT OF SURVIVAL BY L.F.FALCONER
A DEBT OF SURVIVAL BY L.F. FALCONER. I do love a book that on the first pages of the stories grabs you and keeps ahold to the very last page, and A DEBT OF SURVIVAL BY L.F. FALCONER is such a book. From page one till the very ending this book forces you to keep wanting more. Just when you think the rollercoaster ride is over, you get another twist , another turn & another scare. This is the first book of this author's I've read and it wont be the last! I advise you when you read A DEBT OF SURVIVAL that you keep the lights on and put your matches all over the house!

INDIGO BY A MULTITUDE OF AUTHORS
INDIGO BY A MULTITUDE OF AUTHORS: I never really believed that so many authors could invent and mold such a kick ass character as Nora Hesper/INDIGO !
Investigative reporter Nora Hesper is not your typical reporter. During the night she is Indigo, a person that can shape and draw the darkness to help her in her quest to find out where the killers of children all over the city are and dispose of them. Nora, during the daytime is investigating the killing of children. She knows who is doing it & she wants to settle up the score quickly before more kids die. Indigo on the other hand wants the Children of Phonos dead & quickly . Nora feels two ways about Indigo. She wants the killers dead , she wants the story, but she is still trying to deal with her Indigo personification . Nora/Indigo are Zorro/Batman & Super Girl all rolled into one and it makes for a very confusing, troubling & lonely life.
I was really impressed that so many authors (10) could collaborate on one story and not have the storyline get all choppy. I really hope to see more of Nora/Indigo cause she's one kick ass duo!

COME SUNDOWN BY NORA ROBERTS
COME SUNDOWN BY NORA ROBERTS is not your typical black sheep family member coming home.
Alice Bodine IS coming home, on her way actually when she is kidnapped, raped, tortured and forced to become Esther. Her sole purpose for the next 25years, satisfy and have boys for the wacko who kidnapped her. The Bodine Ranch & Resort run by the Bodine family for four generations are running along day after day until Alice is finally returned to the family, then all hell breaks loose
I have never been a huge fan of Nora Roberts books but COME SUNDOWN has pushed me a littler further into the Roberts camp.The writing is so vivid that I actually felt like I was living the events of the Bodine family. It didnt take long for me to really get into the book & when I did the ending came as a huge surprise.
