Finished BRECKENRIDGE IS BURIED

 

The ski lodge typically gets plenty of snow in season.  But this season has started early and threatens to be worse.  Will helps his family run the lodge which is already full of skiers and tourists.  He is also taking pictures of sunspots with his telescope and cell phone camera for a science fair project.  One of his pictures shows a large sunspot mid-eruption aimed directly at Earth.  Electricity and technology goes out all over the world, but in this small town near Denver, that cuts off communication with the outside world.  In addition, the constant heavy snowfall has caused avalanches-one cutting the town in half and the other cutting them off from Denver and all other nearby towns.  Food supplies and power is cut off, so wood for fires and food becomes two of the many problems to be dealt with. How can Will and new-found friend Kelly help...and survive?

I have now started Growing Season, a first novel in a series.  Melanie lost her beloved cat two weeks ago and now, at the age of 39, has lost her beloved editing job of 14 years.

Finished STAR PATH

 

Arrrrrhgh!  It ended at the most exciting spot!  This was only a part 1.  It doesn't say that at the beginning.  You just have to read it through to know.  Now I have to order more books!

I am now about to start another Henry Melton book (Sci-Fi for young adults), Breckenridge is Buried.  Goodreads tells me that I have to read the Kindle edition because there are no other ones.  But I have the paperback in my hands.  That is what I will read.

Finished THE SLEEPING BEAUTY MYSTERY

 

These two authors have done it to me again.  I was up 'til 2:00 reading it night before last and up 'til 1:00 last night until I finished it.  I just could not put it down.

I have now started Star Path, which picks up after Sun Born in the People of Cahokia series.  Walking Smoke learns by means of a blood sacrifice that his sister, Night Shadow Star is coming to fight him.  We see both making preparations at the beginning of the book.

Finished DEADER STILL

 

A little tongue in cheek, a little outlandish, and always entertaining.  I will get more books in this series.

I have now begun The Sleeping Beauty Killer by Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke.  Casey has served 15 years for a murder she did not commit.  Immediately upon her release, she approaches Laurie Moran, the producer of the TV show, Under Suspicion, in hopes that the show will be able to expose the real killer.
