Jack Reacher is a violent character. Frankly it's part of his appeal. When face with danger, he reacts immediately with crushing blows to disable his opponent. He stood up for the underdog. I loved him because he was noble and inside good inspite of his violent nature. But in Worth...

The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker by Leanna Renee Hieber :stars4: This is not the type of book that I would typically read. But it was a great read. It starts a little slowly but the ending will keep you up an hour or two just so you can finish it before you go to...

I agree with the standard format. I understand why there are restrictions on what you can do with an e-book. But there are too many restrictions. I don't see why you can't give an e-book to someone else by transferring it to their library. Then it would fit the same logic as a book in...

Always Watching by: Brandilyn Collins :stars2: To be fair, this book is targeted to the teen audience and I'm adult. Well I don't always act like and adult but chronologically I am an adult. More than likely if you're over 20, you'll not be crazy about this book.

The Pawn - Steven James :stars5: I read this book because I got the e-book free. I often read these free books because it's a risk free way of trying new authors. Well that, and because I like free. All I can say is this book is good enough to be worth full price. It's a great story...

Hour of the Hunter / J. A. Jance :stars3: The story was a nice change of pace thriller. One of the main characters is a Papago Indian. I loved the way the author folded in the Indian folk lore. The Indian stories were almost like parables for how to the characers should handle the...

I love my e-book reader. What's not to like about being able to carry around 1500 books in your purse. Now just for the record, I don't have 1500 books on my e-book reader. But I do have over 100.

Review: True Blue - David Baldacci Review: True Blue - David Baldacci :stars3: The book isn't realistic but that really doesn't bother me. It's fiction after all. And for my taste, good fiction should have characters that are out of the ordinary, flawed, or bigger than life. So...

I've only read about half of True Blue. I'll hold comments until I finish. Sometimes a book will redeem itself with a great ending. :)

I gave this novel a 3/5 The author did a good job of developing the character of Jana but it stopped there. The plot was confusing. The ending unsatisfying. Granted, I'm a lazy reader who likes the book to read easily. I found myself having to go back a couple of pages and re-read a...

I put a book from each of those authors on my BN wish list. Eventually I get to all of the books on that list. Thank you very kindly for the recommendations.

Hi Polly Parrot, Primarily I like mystery, thrillers, crime solving, etc. For fun, I throw in some other types of books and often get hooked on them. I recently read one of the No 1 Ladies Detective series and found it to be a very pleasant read. Precious Ramotswe had a point when she...

When the heart cries - by Cindy Woodsmall This is a great story. I shows that life isn't fair but even a young girl can be strong even when life is hard.

I've never posted about the books I read but I'm going to give it a try. I read about 50 books a year. Most of the books I read are fiction. And I love thrillers and mystery books. While I love to read, I'm not a writer. Therefore, when I write a review of the books I read, give me...
