Careless in Red: A Novel
Elizabeth George
Harper, 2008
careless in red
+ Lynley & Havers are back = 5 stars, Daidre Trahair = pain
Elizabeth George in my favorite writer, and I purchased "Careless in Red" the day it came out. I was so disappointed in the reviews that it took awhile for me to start it. Big mistake. I thought it was terrific. Perhaps not quite in the league with "Playing for the Ashes" or "Deception of his ...

Sequel well-worth the wait
This long-awaited and much anticipated sequel to Good In Bed is everything I could have hoped for. Picking up thirteen years later, Cannie Schapiro is just as funny and crazy - but she's also more mature, more settled, and mother to a teenage girl. Certain Girls is a story told by both Cannie and ...

Days of Infamy
Newt Gingrich, William R. Forstchen
Thomas Dunne Books, 2008
Very good alternative history
+ Good follow up of the book Pearl Harbor
+ Good Gingrich book
Really good action and hard to stop listening to. I listened to the Audible version of this. Excellent book to listen to. As a history buff I thought it was really done well and true to history. Yamamoto would have been much more aggresive. Halsey well is Halsey... Great job Gingrich and ...

Signet, 2008
One of the top three of the series
+ True Brotherhood Fans
+ Interesting Book But......Please stop with the ....
I don't understand why so many people were disappointed with this amazing story.
Some complained that there wasn't enough in it about Phury's 'romance', I say that's what made it really good. Some complain that the other Brothers were not mentioned enough, I say they were mentioned adequately. ...

Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--And the Journey of a Generation
Sheila Weller
Atria, 2008
Not a Boomer but definitely a fan...
+ Bogs down due to its format
+ Before It's Too Late
I couldn't put this book down. I'm a 29-year-old who has been a Joni Mitchell fan since early high school when one of my mom's friends turned me onto her. My life was never quite the same, of course, and I'm not sure I'd like to know who I might be without the influence of her music, poetry, and ...

Laurell K. Hamilton
Berkley Hardcover, 2008
Laurell K Hamilton went back to her old formula!!
For the past 2 years or so, Laurell K Hamilton has been taking Anita to places she shouldn't be going. Her first books were wonderful. She strayed from the winning formula. In The Harlequin, she started putting it all back together again. In Blood Noir, she succeeded in getting Anita back on ...
