Behind all this effort is the search for what it is that catches the readers eye on Kindle Store. I have three books on there 'RO' a true story, 'The Day the Ravens Died' and the follow up, 'The Undefended Land'
These are all military themed thrillers, I would expect most readers to be military, or ex-military, as well as those who wished they were or had been military. Imagine my confusion to discover over half of my reviews from all over are from genteel little ladies.
Explanations please to the local home for the gently confused!

Enjoying Oli's second anthology. He's got a habit of setting up intriguing stories that cry out for further development, and I think he is actually working on developing a few of these at least to novella length.

I'm a fan of his program Pit Boss. Love all dogs.











However, I do have lots of books ready and waiting on my Kindle. I snapped up Life of Pi for 20p so that will probably be my next Kindle read, possibly some Dickens afterwards.

The story line carries on and it is much warmer then the "Grapes of Wrath." I too read both books in the 50's and enjoyed every word of them. I hope you buy a copy and read it. Bone Appetite.

I enjoyed her books; hope it gets better for you!





The Divide started off so well but the plot did get quite slow halfway through the book. I did wish it would speed up at times but the story did remain strangely engaging. The last 60 or 70 pages of the novel were just as gripping and compelling as the first half of the novel. To tell the truth, I enjoyed the family drama sub-plot a lot more than I liked the murder mystery plot but I think that was probably because I didn't like the character of Abbie all that much so I found it hard to care about what happened to her. I loved all the vivid and wonderful descriptions of the Montana setting and landscape that made me feel like I was actually there. Nicholas Evans has got a great writing style and I love his use of language and imagery. I gave this novel 3½ stars!

I love all the regular Stephanie Plum novels but I'm not sure I like these between the numbers novellas. I was very disappointed by Plum Lovin'. Nothing much happened in it and it was extremely dull and boring. It wasn't anywhere near as funny as the regular novels do be and I really hate the supernatural element in the novella. I gave it 1½ stars!

Thanks! I actually already read that book. East of Eden was the first Steinbeck book I ever read and it made me want to read the rest of Steinbeck's books.
