bookshelves: 2009, didn-t-finish
I didn't think to check if this was another in the Kate Shugak series when I ordered it and it's not. I thought I would like it anyway, but unfortunately I didn't like it at all. Bummer. No humor or vivid characters like I'm used to and way too many confusing middle eastern names. I was expecting a lite, fun read. My own fault. I'll remember to check the next time. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68275964 Children of the Storm (Amelia Peabody, #15) by Elizabeth Peters

Very enjoyable. Even tho this is the 2nd book in a series and I have not read the first one, this stood alone very well. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77753348 to: An Incomplete Revenge (Maisie Dobbs, #5) by Jacqueline Winspear
bookshelves: 2009, brit, dark, detect-series
Even though this series is dark, I have enjoyed the stories of a young nurse who served on the front lines in WWI trying to build an independant life while overcoming her war experiences and the loss of the man she loved. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77607519 to: Messenger of Truth (Maisie Dobbs, #4) by Jacqueline Winspear

Probably the best one yet in this series. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77609489 The Lacuna: A Novel (Hardcover) by Barbara Kingsolver

Hey WagMore--welcome aboard. Don't be discouraged with your gardening mishaps. Over the years I think I've learned more from my mistakes than anything else. I'm lucky to have several good friends who enjoy gardening as much as I do and we share our oops and have a good laugh and learn from one another. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77605992 Urmila's review of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1)
by Stieg Larsson

Totally agree with your review. So sad the author has passed away. I am looking for the follow up book--The Girl Who Played With Fire and hope to read it soon. ]]>
