An epic tale of four brothers and two sisters who grew up in the Pacific Northwest around the same time my four brothers, sister, and I were growing up in the Midwest. Absolutely one of the best books I have read in a long time, and one I will happily pass along to one of my brothers. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60336945 Kathryn's review of How to Quit without Feeling S**t: The Fast, Highly Effective Way to End Addiction to Caffeine, Sugar, Cigarettes, Alcohol, Illicit or Prescription Drugs

I believe this is what is called a "psychological tour-de-force." Different than Mina's Exile series or Paddy Meehan series, but worth a few hours of your time. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77596093 Ann's review of Ransom Game
by Howard Engel

Intriguing. I just finished another fun mystery by a Canadian author, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, introducing a delightful 11-year old sleuth, Flavia de Luce. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51490542 to: The Sea (Paperback) by John Banville
This book surprised me. The plot was interesting and the prose so lovely I felt compelled to read most of it aloud. I had to pull out my dictionary several times but that is not a bad thing. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76971898 Sheila's review of The Salaryman's Wife

by Ian Rankin

I feel so honored. I'd been thinking I was the only person who read Lark & Termite but I see it's one of the five nominees for the National Book Award (that was a plug).

The Ian Rankin series features an alcoholic protagonist. I think you would hate it. Please don't read it on my account. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76971807 Sheila's review of Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Green Gables, #1)
by L.M. Montgomery

Whoa! Has she discovered the Nancy Drew computer games yet? I love them. The motto of the women who created them is "For Girls Who Aren't Afraid of a Mouse." ]]>
