Last Chance Saloon
Marian Keyes
Harper Collins, 2003
My favorite Keyes book yet!
I enjoy Irish fiction, and since discovering Marian Keyes, I've read all of her books about the Walsh sisters and most of her others as well. In fact, when I stumbled across Last Chance Saloon, I was surprised to find that there was a novel of hers I had missed. ...

Conamara Blues: Poems
John O'donohue
Harper Collins, 2001
Deceptive Simplicity
At first glance, John O'Donohue's poetry appears simple. That deception is largely due to its brevity and form. Yet it is complex with tiered symbolism. As is frequently the case with poetry, the reader may not "get it" first time through but these verses are worth a ...

anam cara
This book was written with wisdom and love. I had to read a little at a time and let the words settle. I bought 10 books to give as Christmas gifts to give to people who mean much to me.

Beethoven: The Universal Composer (Eminent Lives)
Edmund Morris
Harper Collins, 2005
Best Beethoven biography available
Unlike other books by Mr. Morris, this accurate biography of Beethoven's life is based on fact instead of vivid recreation of fiction. This book is poignant and very descriptive and goes as far as updating facts about Beethoven's life (based on serious and ardouos ...

Angels
Marian Keyes
Harper Collins, 2004
my fav
This was my first Keyes book and is still my favorite after going back and reading others. The humor, the gotchas, the characters and the satire are just marvelous. Not predictable, with a wonderful ending. Flashbacks are perfect here, not a burden, but rather ...

The Broken Souls
Jack Kerley
Harper Collins Publ. UK, 2007
the broken souls
This was a disappointment as it was also printed under the title THE GARDEN OF VIPERS. If I had known that, I would not have purchased this book as I already have The Garden of Vipers (which is a good book).

At last - an eating plan that makes sense
I've been watching my weight for years - watching it go up, and up, and up. Until I found this book and it's companion, The Volumetrics Weight Control Plan, I was bogged down by a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. Now - not so much. It didn't turn me into a ...

A Place Called Here
Cecelia Ahern
Harper Collins, 2006
There's no place like here
Pretty different, never read one like this before. I really like how the author ties everything together along the way so you don't get bored. I have read everything she has written and I appreciate that she never writes the same theme over and over as many authors ...
