Another 2007 List (Spring and Summer)

  • The Tall Pine Polka By Lorna Landvik (4/5)-Interesting characters, great scenery, and a fun read. It did start out a bit slow, however.
  • The Traveler By John Twelve Hawks(5/5)- Fast-paced, intriguing characters, adventure, excitement, and powerful. It would make an awesome movie!
  • Every Which Way But Dead By Kim Harrison(5/5)- A fun and interesting take on the paranormal.
  • Moon Called By Patricia Briggs(5/5)-Exciting tale of werewolves and "walkers".
  • Death At Wenwater Court(4/5)- a very light read. Fun British slang from the 1920's, and a lovely amateur sleuth happily solving a crime.
  • Storm Front By Jim Butcher(4/5)-A refreshing fantasy complete with wizards, powerful magic, and evil lurking in the dark.
  • Inkheart By Cornelia Funke(5/5)-An absolutely beautiful book. I loved this one so so much!
  • The Glass Castle By Jeanette Walls(5/5)-Very interesting true story, and surprisingly entertaining. The author had a positively atrocious childhood, but managed to keep the story light and fun to read.
  • Divided in Death By JD Robb(5/5)- I loved this book! The Eve Dallas series is wonderful, and completely engaging. Eve is one of my all time favorite characters!
  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows By J. K. Rowling(5/5)-Heartbreaking, of course, in many ways. But still, a wonderful book! A perfect end to the Potter saga.
  • Lean Mean Thirteen By Janet Evanovich(5/5)- Funny as all get out, of course!
  • Exit Strategy By Kelley Armstrong(4/5)-Pretty good, but not exactly memorable.
  • The Cinderella Rules By Donna Kauffman(4/5)-A fun, romantic, and light read. There was even a dash of intrigue thrown in.
  • Candy Apple Dead By Sammi Carter(3.5/5)-It was just barely interesting enough to keep me reading. I was a little bit disappointed to tell you the truth.
  • 1st To Die By James Patterson(5/5)- An excellent mystery. Don't even bother with the tv series based on his books, because it isn't even close.
  • Anybody Out There By Marian Keyes(5/5)-Wonderful! I love the Irish family, the humor, and the strong storyline. Keyes is a wonderful, spunky little Irish writer, and I plan to read all of her books.
