The Best American Short Stories 2007 (The Best American Series (TM))
Houghton Mifflin, 2007
What a wonderful book!
The best book I have read in a long time. All of the stories stay with you after you read them and make you think about them and what they had to tell. With some of them I didn't like the style they were written in but that is why it is a collection, it cannot cater to ...

Personal Demon (Women of the Otherworld, Book 8)
Kelley Armstrong
Spectra, 2008
So relieved this book was good!
I actually liked this book more than the last three in the Women of the Otherworld series. I was hesitant to even order this book as the last three have had a flat feeling about them. No Humans Involved was difficult to get through for me. Therefore, I was extremely ...

Divisadero (Vintage International)
Michael Ondaatje
Vintage, 2008
Superb poetic storytelling
This book represents some of the most sophisticated poetic storytelling around. As is often the case with Ondaatje, his images, language and development of relationships - particularly between Lucien Segura and Marie-Niege - are more interesting than the plot itself, ...

No Time for Goodbye
Linwood Barclay
Bantam, 2008
A page turner!
I could hardly put this book down. I loved it! This is a first book by Barclay that I have read and I hope to read more soon. It kept me guessing at everything and I was so anxious to find out why the girl was left alone.
Now to order another of Barclays books and ...

The Gargoyle
Andrew Davidson
Doubleday, 2008
Disturbingly pleasant!
This book was fabulous! While definitely graphic it is also very accurate in the way burns are treated and I would think how they occur. The inner struggle is a wonderful view inside the psyche of a selfish man as he loses all that he knows, including his beauty and ...
