Finished THE GIRL WITH THE BRAIDED HAIR

 





For a second book in a row, I stayed up until 4 am finishing this book.  A cold case mystery was, from the get-go, dangerous for both Vicki and Father John to be inquiring after.  I think these books just keep getting better.


I am now about to start another James Rollins Sigma Force book, The Seventh Plague.  Like the Outlander books, these are pretty long, so give me a couple weeks.

 


My pictures are not uploading at all today.  It is probably our stupid internet...I'll try again another day.  Hurray.  Worked today.

Finished WE'LL MEET AGAIN


I was up until 4 a. this morning finishing this book.  I've been sleeping on and off, groggy all day.  And you know who I blame!  It rather seems like the subject matter of this book is from Robin Cook's repertoire, but I guess HMOs are fair game for anyone these days.  Needless to say, not being able to put the book down is highest praise.

I am now about to start The Girl With Braided Hair, another Wind River Mystery by Margaret Coel.  Looking forward to getting back to the reservation, Father John and Vicky again...  Looks like looking into a cold case is about to stir up some hot trouble.

Have started WE'LL MEET AGAIN by Mary Higgins Clark

 


Shortly after Mary Higgins Clark died and gathered my records as to which of her books I have read (which I thought was most of them.)  I thought I'd only need to add a couple more to have read all of them.  Wrong-o.  Between the author's site and Amazon, I found a bunch more to order and even when I finish this bunch, I will still have more.  In this book a woman has been paroled after serving 6 years for having murdered her husband.  She got a shortened sentence because she pleaded no contest at trial.  But now, she is beginning to remember things she had blocked earlier...

Finished THE SECOND SUMMONING

 



Humorous, interesting, good characters, unusual dilemma, kept my attention.  A combination of Claire's romantic venture, her sister Diana's attempts to decorate and create a good time for all attending her school Christmas dance, and a student who is obsessed by angels has accidently created a very confused angel.  From there the dominos continue to drop making it into an ever bigger mess.  Fun.

I started a book I realized almost immediately that I'd already read.  So I don't know what the next book on the agenda is...yet.

Finished UNNATURAL HABITS

 


As with all of these books, I am blown away with how much can be accomplished in such a small book.  This is one of my favorites because the danger was real with everything Phryne did, and things did not always go according to plan.  I love characters, settings, and plots (of which there were a few.)

I have just started The Second Summoning, the second book in The Keeper Trilogy by Tanya Huff.  A combination of humor and exasperation accompanies the reader through the first hundred pages of this book as characters decide to split up.  Ahhhhgh!
