IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT BY JUDY BLUME

IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT BY JUDY BLUME takes the reader into small town America where everyone knows everyone and when disaster strikes it affects one and all. This is the first of Judy Blume's books I've read so I cant compare it to any other of her works.  It took me a couple of chapters, and getting to know the characters before I could really get the book.  I wasnt to thrilled about the book going from one point of view to another person's point of view but I could keep up.  I liked the book enough to read more of Judy's work when I come across it in the future.

HARD CHOICES HILLARY CLINTON

HARD CHOICES BY HILLARY CLINTON would not be a book that I would pick up voluntarily.  I got this book thru our library as a "blind date" and boy was it a DOG!  Correct that, calling this book a DOG is an insult to canines all over the globe!  I tried my best not to be judgemental when starting this book but my conclusion after a couple of chapters is that it was mislabeled, it should be on the Fictional Fantasy shelves!  600 pages of bloviation and half truths is more than any one human being can tolerate & should be sent to Gitmo as an interrogation tool against our foes.
 The only good thing that came out of the book is that a free hot chocolate from the library came with it!

DEVOTED IN DEATH BY JD ROBB

DEVOTED IN DEATH BY J.D. ROBB is the latest case for LT Eve Dallas and Detective Peabody.  Eve is tracking down a duo serial killers,lovers, monsters, who have started their killing spree in another state and have made their way to New York (their mistake!)  The clock is ticking for Eve and company because there's still a victim out there alive(hopefully) and Eve intends to keep it that way.

Ever since I picked up my first Eve Dallas book I've been hooked,and DEVOTED IN DEATH is no exception to the twists and turns the book takes

BEFORE THE FALL BY NOAH HAWLEY

BEFORE THE FALL FROM NOAH HAWLEY is one of those books that DEMANDS that it be finished!  Page after page BEFORE THE FALL kept me wanting to know WHY and WHO! In other words, BEFORE THE FALL ranks way up there on my must read at least one more time list!

11 people, 11 lives all tossed together on a private jet & at the end only 2 come out alive.  Who or What brought the plane down?  That's the overall question that is plaguing not only the country but one survivor of the crash, Scott Burroughs a down and out painter.

Excellent!!  MUST READ!!

THE TRENCH ANGEL BY MICHAEL KEENAN GUTIEREZZ

THE TRENCH ANGEL BY MICHAEL KEENAN GUTIERREZ is a story of post WWI where men come home either physically or emotionally damaged by war. Its about one man, Neal Stephens who comes home from France with a secret, and he's being blackmailed for it.  In between the covers you walk thru time back to depression, hatred and brutality.

I found,reading this book,having to remind myself this is fiction,the characters so vividly portray what life could be like during that period.  The only complaint I have about the book is the type face,too light for me,otherwise an interesting read.

AMERICAN GODS BY NEIL GAIMAN

AMERICAN GODS BY NEIL GAIMAN.  What can one say about a book that you couldnt finish ?  There was NO plot that I could find. It was like walking into the middle of a mystery and being expected to know what the heck is going on! I guess I just didnt like what little I read of the book. My fault or the authors?  A friend who recommended the book loved it. To each his own I guess.

NEW ORDER A DECLUTTERING HANDBOOK FOR CREATIVE FOLKS(AND EVERYONE ELSE) BY FAY WOLF.

NEW ORDER A DECLUTTERING HANDBOOK FOR CREATIVE FOLKS(AND EVERYONE ELSE) BY FAY WOLF.  I LOVED it.  Not only do I get some great ideas on how to declutter my messy life(my husband's fault,not mine!) but I get a little humor along the way.  Its not a long book (174) pages,but what's between the covers is lots of good ideas that I have, and have not thought of to get my (and my families) act together. In the book it also give ideas where you can donate items, recycle items or just helpful hints to get you space in order.

THE OMNIVORE'S DILEMMA A NATURAL HISTORY OF FOUR MEALS BY MICHAEL POLLAN

First, I did not select this book!  Our local library has a "Blind date with a book" in Feb. & they wrap books in newspaper, people choose the books blind & you either rate it a dog or great. This is how I ended up reading THE OMNIVORE'S DILEMMA: A NATURAL HISTORY OF FOUR MEALS BY MICHAEL POLLAN.   When I first started the book I thought OMG a DOG! A DISASTER!  As I really got into the book I found myself immersed in how and where my food actually comes from. (sometimes the word gross kept peeking in my mind as well!)  The author did not just hit the net to research on where our foods comes from,he actually visited REAL locations.  I was so absorbed into the book I finished it in one sitting.
